Instead of writing status updates I save up those thoughts and write blog posts

Everytime I go for a walk I think up a blog post. Everyday I should just walk to the library, sit down and write what I thought of on the walk, walk home, write what I thought of on the walk, and then just repeat that as many times as possible. Also it would be good exercise. (Or I could have a circuit that includes multiple libraries)

Someone who has an extensive formspring should publish their formspring as a book. I have thought about asking someone a bunch of questions anonymously on formspring and then publishing it as an interview. Maybe I should get a journalism degree (it worked for tao lin (LOL who gives a fuck what degree tao lin has?))

I wish spencer madsen had a blog at www.everythingisfucked.com

I just wrote a poem into a status update on facebook and then posted it and then screenshotted it and then deleted the status because I wanted the poem to be the screenshot but I didn't want the status to exist on facebook.

Brb having a bath.

Just reread the second half of A Million Bears in the bath. The water got a bit cold by the end.
I reread the first half next to the library earlier. I was going to read while walking to and from the library but it was raining so I couldn't.

I think of my wallet, my phone, and my ipod as the holy trinity. If I don't bring them with me when I go out I usually regret it. (can't find my fucking ipod) The ipod can be replaced with a book

Brb eating dinner.

Back. Why did I have a bath earlier if I'm planning on going for a run later? Seems stupid.

Brb writing 1000 words of my novel. JK just gonna check facebook and stuff

Haven't done shit today, not gonna do shit today.

Thought, 'What if I ran against Poncho Peligroso for the position of Poet Laureate 2012?'

Had a dream that I lost a bunch of twitter followers.

Here are two extracts from an email I sent Maggie Lee:
I got into the internet lit stuff at the beginning of last year. I was reading Spike Jonze's wikipedia page trying to find out what his next project was going to be after Where The Wild Things Are. I found out he had bought the rights to Light Boxes by Shane Jones. I looked into Shane Jones and found out about Publishing Genius Press and HTMLGiant. I bought some books and read stuff. I added some writers on facebook. I was a fan but I didn't contribute to the scene at all. Then around April(?) this year three things happened: I became facebook friends with Steve Roggenbuck (I can't remember who added who) and we commented back and forth a lot on a wall post, Let People Poems was launched and I posted a poem there and got a good response which gave me confidence, and one day for no real reason I wrote everything is fantastic on a few hundred people's walls. Everything has just grown from there
and
I will never complete this novel


How do people read really long books?

Why does my interview on HTMLGiant only have two comments?

I paid Vimeo $10US to let me upload a video that was larger than the size they allow you to upload for free. I now have Vimeo Plus or something. Can I monetise my crappily produced videos?

I feel fat.

Here are my two least publicised social media accounts:

I have a new form that I am trying on twitter:

The poetic technique I have been using the most lately is 'I put the _ in _'. Thanks Chris Toll.

I might be part of the 1%

Whenever someone uses the word fantastic I get excited.

I have also been making use of the poetic technique where you put the word sometimes in front of a line.

This post isn't going to have any pictures.

Yesterday I thought about how easy it is to get lost in the internet and convince yourself that you are talented. (You being me)

I wish this ustream would start so that I would be distracted from myself.

I have been posting a lot of rap videos on facebook recently.

Jordan Castro is the person I have asked the most questions on formspring.

I used to think that formspring was called forumspring.

How do I get more notes on my tumblr posts?
The one with the goal of getting 100 notes only got 35.

If I'm not going to write my novel I should at least read something. What should I read?

I am listening to Jay-Z.

Does adding labels to my blog posts get more people to see them?

I should eat lunch. What should I eat?

THE END

I used to want to be a famous rapper. FOr the last few years I haven't wanted to be famous. Feel like I'm beginning to want to be famous again. Maybe not famous but successful. Yeah successful. You know?? I want what I do to have significance in a lot of peoples lives. I want to inspire people. Also I want everyone to like me. Please like me everyone.

UNCENSORED THOUGHTS (cause James said it should be a regular thing):
The rap that I posted on everything is fantastic today is an example of how terrible at rapping I am. It is really bad.

That's the only uncensored thought I had.

I might try and do raps more often and just post them here. Make that a regular feature. I hope I do that.



[I am adding this bit in here so there are pictures to break things up] Today I tried to take a photo of me making a heart shape with my hands. It didn't workk

Today I watched Mulholland Drive with Caro. It was real good. I like how it uses various motifs to tell a [what's the word?] MULTIPLICITY!] of stories like a jigsaw puzzle that can be put together multiple ways making multiple pictures. The first ~2 hours (until we enter the blue box (which itself is maybe a metaphor for movies) show us one possible picture/story that can be put together but then we are given additional pieces/scenes which can be used to make new pictures/stories. Also I like how the movie is SUPER ominous, except when violent shit is going down, then it's just funny. Watching this made me want to read Blake Butler. We watched Eraserhead last week. Next week is Inland Empire. Getting our David Lynch awwwwwwwwwwwwwn. Maybe when she visits we could watch Twin Peaks together!

I was going to go for a run tonight but then I didn't. I did push ups for the first time in ages. I did ten then I went and started running a bath and my mum asked me what I was listening to and I told her I Don't Wanna Be Alone by Childish Gambino. She said 'That's a good name. It rhymes with Bambino'. Then I went to the kitchen and took my nighttime pill and checked the snack inventory and said to myself 'Brilliant, brilliant, everything is brilliant' (rebrand?). Then I went back to my room and did 8 more pressups. BUT I THINK IM GONNA GO SWIMMING TOMORROW SO EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY.

Read Worstward Ho today.



Now I'm snacking and listening to A Fistful Of Popcorn (a movie/tv podcast I listen to).

I've been slacking on my email game lately. I think it's partly because of this blog, they use the same muscles). Wanna get more into formspring. Hit me up: http://www.formspring.me/Jacksonieuwland

Last night I slept before midnight. This morning I woke up around 7. Seems REAL good. Wanna try get more into that. BUt I'm not gonna get to sleep before midnight tonight. Oh well
