Shane Jones is an ancient indian that burrows in holes and blogs on the internet

Today will be a break from all kinds of insanity and misery, or my version of it. Brandon Scott Gorrell who is a nice person and writes and has a blog has put together a thing which gets different online writers to write about each other. The theory is that we all have different fans, and perhaps get new people to each other's writing. And as the numbers increase we may eventually create a utopia with the human spirit perfected through the use of blogs and Richard Yates books.

I've been picked to talk about Shane Jones:

Shane Jones is male

He has a blog here.

Shane Jones has a chapbook called "I Will Unfold You With My Hairy Hands".

Shane Jones has a story in Elimae about submitting to Elimae, I think it is ironic. I submitted to Elimae and they told me I was a main stream writer. He mentions Chelsey Minnis, I like chelsey also. She sent me a chapbook once, and I read it. After reading it I decided that i would have sex with Chelsey no matter what she looked like, that's how much I liked it. I don't know, but when someone makes great art like Mick Jagger you want to fuck that person thinking perhaps their art and genius will be contained in their sexual liquids and that through the transmission of sexual liquids the gods will adorn you with a little cap of good luck and prosperity.

I like this shane jones poem and this one. I think he writes poems like an Anasazi in 852 after eating some good maize. I imagine shane jones in ancient Anasazi garb walking out to the desert, standing next to a small cactus and since he has no written language, he recites the poem to a turkey walking by.

Let Linh Dinh know about you and
your concerns about this nation.
Am hoping he will visit your blog.
He is heavily into what he calls
too late late capitalism. He is
presently residing in Philadelphia.
If you do a Detainees Dinh
search, his blog will come up in
the results from Google.

Gorrell's idea is a good one,
especially if it doesn't fizzle.
At least it is one way of
connecting with other bloggers.

Gosh there are so many of you guys that I don't think I'm ever going to get through the list. Eventually, I'm going to have to stop reading and pay attention to my wife. Glad I found this place before that happened.

Hi.
