introduction

starting my blog... i am doing it. junk and genius, a contradiction? it's up to you. 

just hung up on the phone with a friend who's a bit junk and genius and is having some problems for this reason. i love her. is it possible for something with no contradictions to be fascinating? or interesting? i live in a perpetual struggle between opposing emotions, ideas and feelings. sometimes i miss peace. sometimes i think that this is what makes me special.

 here's a poem celebrating the contradictions of what was once the most appealing place in the world:

 HOLLYWOOD. HOLLYWOOD BABYLON. i come from there.

hollywood, hollywood...

fabulous holywood...

celluloid babylon

glorious, glamorous...

city delirious,

frivolous, serious,

bold and ambitious,

and vicious and glamorous.

drama - a city full,

tragic and pitiful...

bunk, junk and genius

amazingly blended...

tawdry, tremendous,

absurd, stupendous;

shoddy and cheap,

and astonishingly splendid...

hollywood!!
