How to get a popular blog

The new most popular blog is Why Men Cheat. Over 6,000 comments already! The only question I have is "Why is Why Men Cheat so popular?" This age old question has been answered by poets for thousands of years. Women are the beautiful mystery that male hormones are driven to explore. The only real question is why more women don't take advantage of this. If you want to see a film version of this, check out the movie Baby Face, in which Barbara Stanwyck, still saddled with her native Brooklyn accent, works her way from a penniless orphan to the top of the Empire State building with a pout and a wink. It's way racier than any of the tame flicks of today. Which reminds me: why do so many movies today show a) men peeing and b) men getting their balls tortured? Maybe it's garbage like this that makes men cheat?

Anonymous said...: why men cheat?

because the woman today sound like a helium-infested gaggle of valley girl geese. but the the woman they cheat with must sound that way,too?
and why women cheat? cause the men are too busy calling themselves "bitches" and "dudes".
Perhaps both sides will continue and forget to rfeproduce and the human race as we know it will

Karen said...: Okay, so I went there. The post is pretty lame. Why doesn't he tell us something we don't already know? And besides, who cares? Hmmm, I guess maybe 6000 people care, but heck, why not come to my blog and look at baby pictures.; December 14, 2006 at 9:59 PM

Ism Is a Retrovirus

Inheriting Craziness is LIke a Soft Halo of Light

Thomas Fucaloro's spectacular first collection of poetry is a beautiful, raw, intense read. According to Emily Kagan Trenchard, curator of the louderARTS Project, "Thomas Fucaloro’s particular gift is to harness the crazed wisdom at the bottom of the bottle, to scrape a fleck of beauty from the underside of a binge, and to call madness by a name so familiar we can’t help but recognize it in ourselves." In these 57 poems, Fucaloro brings to light new angles of perception of madness, addiction and modern urban living. Each poem takes risks in form and content. As author Jon Sands notes, "To read Thomas is to literally discover each line with him. There's really nothing he won't say. He's as surprised as you are."

DRUNKYARD DOG

DrunkYard Dog by Peter Carlaftes is a collection by a new poetic master who has honed his intense, insightful and inspiring poetic voice on the playgrounds of the Bronx, and the bars of Manhattan. Tales of bartender blues and bliss, injected with hope in a mileau of madness swirl into a powerful poetic cocktail. Carlaftes offers a brilliant poetic voice, filled with drop-dead humor, searing insight and resilient originality, even while resonating with overtones of Bukowski, Baudelaire and Bogart.

TRIUMPH FOR RENT

Playwright Peter Carlaftes presents three compelling, funny and biting dramas in Triumph for Rent: Three Plays (Three Rooms Press, 182 pages, 2010). The plays include Spin-Dry: An hilarious wild ride through a 90s rehab center for celebrities; Hunger: inspired by the Knut Hamsun novel; and Frontier A-Go-Go, a time travel piece uniting the hippie 60s, nerd/rave 90s and techno future. "As with Strindberg, Beckett, or even Satre—Carlaftes' message seems to be something we intuit . . . like music." SF Weekly.

MARY ANDERSON'S ENCORE

In “Mary Anderson’s Encore,” award-winning international playwright Larry Myers explores the great American tragedienne, Mary Anderson, who skyrocketed to fame with her first role, and retired by age 30.
