As you know, I went to my first poetry reading a few weeks ago. Enjoyed this up and comer, who goes by k. Just k. You'll need to turn the volume way up, because the videographer isn't very good and videographing.
Here's "Broad Broad Broad":
And this one is entitled "Incantation for the Changing of the Seasons":
per LinkedIn, congrats to the zman on now being more important and in charge of more people
ReplyDeletedon't forget about us littles when you get to the top, zed
ReplyDeletea kid from the soccer club i volunteer for played for fc cincinnati against miami and messi last night. his name is bret halsey, and he was drafted by real salt lake a few years ago after graduating from uva, got hurt, got released, got picked up by cincinnati, played for their second-division team, got signed to the mls roster, and wound up getting an assist and defending messi effectively after he came in late in the match last night. pretty cool stuff. here's a pic: https://images.app.goo.gl/bDvqLfbTdrKHznNb6
ReplyDeleteThanks Teedge. I am just as unimportant as I was before and I am in charge of fewer people. My old company was acquired and the acquirer gave me an IQ test: "You can stay here and work a shittier job in a soul-crushing environment, or you can take the change of control package." I took the package and got a new job. Let the package rhombus commence.
ReplyDeleteis there an fake salt lake?
ReplyDeletez likes his packages.
Love that poetry. So strong and super-charged in content and delivery.
ReplyDeleteBoy oh boy, does K resemble the tiny dictator in appearance and mannerisms, esp in the off-the-cuff banter 'twixt readings.
Congrats, Z! Back to the grind, old boy.
ReplyDeleteWatching minor league baseball today. Blissful.
ReplyDeleteany triples?
ReplyDeletestephen strasburg is retiring from baseball. that's a whoa.
ReplyDeleteAnd way to go Z - just saw the LinkedIn post. You're kind of a big deal, little or big package.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to Mark's commentary on Swamp Kings. It's fairly entertaining but damn I'd enjoy it a lot more if it the coach was just about anyone else. I'd pay to have a proper drinking session with Siler.
strasburg’s contract is fully guaranteed, so the nats will pay him something on the order of $150m over the next six years. teach your kids to throw baseballs, friends.
ReplyDeleteStrasburg should either give $75M to a worthy charity or be throw down a well for 5 years. With Buffalo Bill managing.
ReplyDeleteain't his fault the owner gave him a $245m guaranteed contract.
ReplyDeleteTrump clocking in at a cool 6’3” and 215. Just wait till you see his 40 time and vertical.
ReplyDeleteI didn’t realize he’d get paid in retirement as if he was working. Good deal if someone will give it to you. Glad to hear Zman is still ascending.
ReplyDeleteApparently the Washington Wizards press crew took Trump’s measurements. Rod Strickland is actually taller than Dickbag Trump and weighs half as much.
ReplyDeleteyou need to close caption the interaction at the start of the second video-- I can't hear what was said. the poetry sounds precise and candid, but it seems like the videographer was very far away from the subject (and perhaps very short)
