Struggling to get out
And run from expectations;
Escape from myself.

I just came across this poem I wrote in 1991 and because it's even more pertinent now than it was then I'm resurrecting it here. And no, it's not a haiku so it doesn't count.

I had big houses, I had new cars,… Continue

A brief message

In case you haven't been paying as much attention to this haiku project as I have, I'd just like to take a moment to let you all know that it's all downhill from here - with 183 of them done, I'm more than halfway to my goal of doing one haiku for every day of the year. I just hope I've got as many left to write as I've already written. Stay tuned and find out!

Buy this and try that!
Get it before we change it!
Consumption is good!

out of the journal springs a poet dos

my last blog focused on rejecting one's dreams and desires. and yes, it was a downer! BUT, while i was writing my assignment for Lillian Gaffney, all of the negative stuff came out as poetry, so i was really happy about that!

Smaller summer vehicles.
Skateboards, bicycles.

Memory Collector









Many people collect things, from paintings, to baseball cards, right down to magnets.



I collect memories. Maybe you do too.



We don’t have to shell out much money for those, although some have cost more than others. The limit is the moon. I’ve been chasing down memories for years, and they are now sitting on porches,watching the sun rise. And I’m thrilled they are remembering, lest I forget. …

The smoke of hatred
Often covers its true source:
A smoldering fear.

Julie, Julia, Love, Creativity, and Butter

Julie, Julia, Love, Creativity, and Butter







I know that I’m the last person in America to see the movie “Julie and Julia”, but I finally saw it today. And I haven’t been this happy about a movie in a long time. I just had to talk about it.



It is so rare to see a movie that tells the story of real people, but it seems that women are particularly stereotyped… Continue

DiJoseph's More-Than-a Piano Blog 7-17-10

Now if you came here expecting to here more about the "Dan's" (MTAP blog 1) there will be a delay.

Albeit a worthy one. I need to mention that I showed symptoms of Tourettes Syndrome way back at...age 7. One year before the Magnus organ ... same year I started drum lessons (CORRECTION here: started drum lessons at age 7 not 5...) Kind-of a blue-plate special: "one order of musical drive with a heaping side order of Tourette's please!"



In the April 13, 2010 edition of the… Continue

Goals, Dreams, & other such things





Anyone who knows me or has even paid any real attention to my posts on here knows that I want to move to Appleton and A.S.A.P. In the beginning, my decision to do this was made because I want what is best for my son. And that is still true, always will be. HE COMES BEFORE ANYONE! But more and more, I find myself wanting this move/change for myself as well. I don't want it because I wish to run away from anything or anyone. The past can follow you no…

You can't see the hurt.
The pain is invisible.
Wounded hearts don't show.
