The latest issue of Truckin’ is also the 5 years anniversary of this community project. It’s been pretty fun so far, and with Truckin’ on my mind I’ve often pushed myself to write more stuff in English (not just blog entries) than I probably would have. Pauly writes: I’m blown away to think that this […]

One of the philosophers I studied last fall, Richard Rorty, died last Friday from pancreatic cancer according to this news article. Rorty’s landmark book "Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature" (1979), rankled some of his peers by arguing that there is no distinction between objective and subjective realities, a theme he continued to develop throughout […]

This one’s also from Burrough’s reading in Spare Ass Annie. I’ve found several different versions and interpretations of this poem, mostly in terms of choice of words. Eventually I found that some of it resembles a transcript of The Western Lands so I’ve kept that as a background in my transcription. Enjoy. A One God […]

The latest issue of Truckin’ includes a depressing monologue by yours truly to which you all know the preliminary continuation to, in my post called The most beautiful girl in Oslo. Oh, and there are some other writers too, of course. Probably better than the self-obsessed stuff I sent in. Enjoy! 60 Hours in Amsterdam, […]

I bought a CD with Burroughs reading his own poetry called Spare Ass Annie. I can really recommend it even to those who are not familiar with his works. With hip beats in the background legendary William S. will blow your mind. The music’s pretty good too. Here’s one of my favourites from the 14 […]

New Truckin’ issue out that’s among the strongest so far this year! I hope you all take the time to leave your daily life for a moment, hustle down to Subway and get yourself an original Subway Sandwhich, head over to Truckin’ and start reading while a double bacon melt stains your pants with greasy […]

After a failed attempt to read easy literature in bed I picked up Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection from 1859. It is a groundbreaking work, no doubt, but it’s also hilarous. Here’s a taste that almost made me wet my bed. It’s from the first chapter entitled Variation […]

<sigg3net> hola shake it, baby, shake it the dinosaurs are here trivia for the damned! and WATER for the risen. but the crackers are FOR EVERYONE. free peace and naked beer. don’t tempt the sun with bare bottoms. by dawn the temple was shrouded in infinitely red light; I asked the furious angel to marry […]

It was Saturday night. Friday night did not feed the hungry, and me and Kornelius soon realized we would have to re-group and attack the Heart of Saturday Night from a new angle. While I was shopping the most necessary, beer, toilet paper, chicken wings and bread, I had an epiphany. Tonight I would take […]

Even though I honestly only mention issues that I’ve participated in, I beg you to stop by and read it nonetheless. The link is mcgtruckin.blogspot.com. This time I’ve sent one of my poems, very Bukowski inspired, called Hangover. It’s actually not the real name of the poem, but I didn’t want to mess it up […]
