I'm the proud stay at home mommy of a 2 yr old little boy named Aidan. Married to the love of my life. I've just recently began making time for myself to sit down with a good book. Now I can't live without those moments of getting completely taken in by an amazing novel. I'm addicted. I'm constantly looking for the next best book! Hope to find...more »

Public Notes

  • AMIR HOSSEIN

    amir hossein says

    He sat naked and drunk in a room of summer
    night, running the blade of the knife
    under his fingernails, smiling, thinking
    of all the letters he had received
    telling him that
    the way he lived and wrote about
    that--
    it had kept them going when
    all seemed
    truly
    hopeless.
    Putting the blade on the table, he
    flicked it with a finger
    and it whirled
    in a flashing circle
    under the light.
    Who the hell is going to
    save me? he thought.
    as the knife stopped spinning
    the answer came:
    you're going to have to
    save yourself.
    Still smiling,
    a: he lit a
    cigarette
    b: he poured
    another
    drink
    c: gave the blade
    another
    spin.

    Charles Bukowski (1920-1994)
    --from The Last Night of the Earth Poems

    دريغ و درد

    چه درد آلود و وحشتناک
    نمي گردد زبانم که بکويم ماجرا چون بود
    دريغا درد
    هنوز از مرگ نيما من دلم خون بود…

    بسي پيغام ها،سوگندها دادم
    خدا را با شکسته تر دل و با خسته تر خاطر
    نهادم دست هاي خويش چون زنهاريان بر سر
    که زنهار،اي خدا،اي داور،اي دادار
    تو را هم با تو سوگند،آي
    مکن ، مپسندين، مگذار

    ببين ، آخر پناه آورده اي زنهار مي خواهد
    پس از عمري همين يک آرزو ، يک خواست
    همين يک بار مي خواهد
    ببين،غمگين دلم با وحشت و با درد مي گريد
    خداوندا،به حق هرچه مي دانند
    ببين،يک مرد مي گريد…

    چه سود اما ، دريغ و درد
    در اين تاريک ناي کور بي روزن
    در اين شب هاي شوم اختر که قحطستان جاويد است
    همه دارايي ما،دولت ما،ورما،چشم چراغ ما
    برفت از دست
    دريغا آن پريشا دخت شعر آدميزادان،
    نهان شد، رفت،
    از اين نفرين شده مسکين خراب آباد.
    دريغا آن زن مردانه تر از هر چه مردانند،
    آن آزاده،آن آزاد
    دريغا آن پريشا دخت
    نهان شد در تجير ابرهاي خاک
    و اکنون آسمان ها زچشم اختران دور دست شعر
    به خاک او نثاري هست،هرشب،پاک

    Hi my fellow LA reader, cute picture. I had severe OCD, anxiety attacks, and depression for over thirty years but finally had enough and overcame most of it. I wrote a quirky and humorous book called Man Interrupted detailing how I did it. I have Oscar winner Mel Brooks on the cover praising it.. Please check out Man Interrupted at www.amazon.com or pop into Barnes and Noble or any book store. Just ask for Man Interrupted by James Bailey. Let me know? Best James.

    i drunk the brown coffee from your brown eyes
    between the golden grain-farms
    & windmill houses
    with the some poor coins only
    in my pocket

    I hope you will take the time to view my YouTube book trailer at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-t0K34iU6g. I am doing some research about potential characters to play the lead role in the upcoming movie. Hope you can help me out. As Ralph Eggleston Director/Production Designer of Pixar Animation Studios said,
    "I LOVED the book! It's a missing, ENDLESSLY fascinating link to the history of Hollywood. Thank you for researching and writing it!! I hope it's been widely well received, as it deserves to be." Best wishes. Gaelyn
