Thanks for all the comments about my thumb It wasn't as gross as it sounds.

GOOD NEWS! Well, at the end of last semester I was invited by one of my profs to read my poetry at the reading for the final of the class for Advanced Creative Writing: Fiction. The same prof, plus the head of the department, have now invited me to a reading in March that is NOT connected with the school It was a good feeling.

I have a paper that I am going to write about, based on a police brutality case in Denver, CO. But because the case is so fresh, and it is a creative non-fiction piece, I will use some conjecture to complete this.

Off I go...
