New Year Through the Same Eyes

So it's a new year, isn't it? Which brings across thoughts of memories past, moments not yet experienced, maybe a couple resolutions.. just lots of thoughts I guess. I'm on Long Island for a little while now; a couple weeks I guess. I've been doing my best to keep up with my creative writing (my poetry, prose, etc.) and I'm thinking about looking into doing a LI reading but I'm not sure yet. The NYC readings have gone so well that I'd really like to keep up with doing these readings.

Some people who follow the blog have been asking me to add some of the new material on here. I'm not sure if I'm going to do that yet. I might want to keep the material fresh for readings for a little while first. Whether or not I do a reading on Long Island before I head back to Manhattan, I'll definitely be reading in the city soon. I'm trying to work out as many cool places as possible, so I promise you'll all be the first ones to know about that, and if you're going to be in the NYC area I'd love to have you there. The reading at Kouzan was an incredible experience; the love and support I received there from friends, loved ones, colleagues, and mentors was just overwhelming, in the best way possible. Not to mention, having our own private room in such a nice venue was a great set-up for us.

So with all of that being said, please continue to check back and look for updates on either my writing, or the other material and issues I discuss on the blog. If you haven't already, please take the time to officially become a follower (it's super easy and quick, I promise.)

One last thing.. a lot of people have been asking me what I've been reading lately since I haven't blogged specifically about any particular books lately. I'll probably be finishing Kerouac's 'Big Sur' by the end of Tuesday I believe. That's another great book of his, I'll make a separate post about that, so I won't get into it now. In the meantime I've also started reading some of Marcel Proust. Him I could probably blog about for a month, there's a lot of everything there between his personal life and his written work.

Happy New Year, I wish you all the best in 2011.. health, happiness, success, and so much more.
