Son of a bitch...

Journal Entry: Mon Mar 10, 2008, 2:43 PM
Well, got an email today from poetry.com saying how great my poetry was and how I'm such a great person, etc etc.

Having grown up in the internet age, my cynicism immediately kicked in and set off a warning alarm in my head. I would post the email, but you can get the gist of what it said pretty easy. Why, you say I'm accepted into your semi-finalist round?! Why, I can get published in the book for a modest fee of 50 dollars?! Would I like to buy this wonderful book full of my poetry!? Of course!

Yeah. Like every damn thing nowadays, it's a fucking scam. It's a hell of a world we live in where somebody hands you a dollar and you ask yourself "What's he after? What's wrong with it?"

It's a horrible life for an optimist. You put faith in the good and get a your wallet cleared out in return. To be honest, if those publishers clearinghouse people came to my door one morning with a big check for whatever ridiculous sum of money, I'd be hesitant to accept it.

There's no such thing as good luck anymore, just a scam waiting for somebody to bite.
...
Still plenty of bad luck to go around, though.

Thank you for the friends! And I might need some help with critique, but thanx for everything. Oh by the way, I retyped Via, if you want to take a look at it for me.

I really wish they'd send a message alert thing when somebody comments on the page...

Thanks for the watch, and if you ever need some help or critique or anything just let me know.

Wow! You really are a brilliant poet, aren't you?

Why don't you join the poetry contest from [link] ?


It's free and every nitwit such as myself who enters gets a small gift

but someone like you might win one of their $10 000 or $100 000 prizes.
