here is how my stress relief works...

ive been blogging for a few years now (counting xanga) but ive found that simple plain old blogging can get a little boring. so i wanted to try to find something interesting for myself to write aside from the normal crap. well i came across a site dedicated to deletion poetry which is a ridiculously awesome concept and i decided i would have to find something like it but my own. basically the general idea behind deletion poetry is that you take a whole bunch of writings and force yourself to use words or phrases from specific lines or something like that. i guess could take a phrase from the forth line of 10 poems and make another poem from it...i think. i may not be completely accurate about the rules but i guess you customize them to suit yourself. well i didnt wanna completely copy someone else and i didnt wanna take words/lines from anyone else of course, so i came up with a plan.

i will setup rules and then dig up the phrases from my own writing. most of my blog has just random thoughts and writings...which up until now have either bored readers or frightened them...now i will turn the crap into art! i hope. i make no guarantees.

Here is my first one:

You should try it...
Admit that he is the scariest librarian,
If you don't like that, then too bad.
Isha time now, gotta Pray!
Dental school in three days.

Sick of studying and it seems so useless,
Ages get stuck in your head.
Concerning the greatness of the Eagles,
I was a little embarrassed so i just left,
After losing the first 2 games.

its pretty funny how strange the phrases seem out of context. but admittedly its fun to rearrange the phrases and give them a whole new context. the rules i set for this one were simple: a phrase from the 4th line (or the last line if the post was shorter than 4 lines) from the first 10 posts i wrote. then i rearranged them.

i need to find the site where i got the idea and share with all.

  1. Its a venerable Who's Who of vintage hammytime posts. Funny, I remember them as I read each line. Fantastic.
