Yesterday’s History. Tomorrow’s the Future. Tonight’s the Party.

I had this dream when I was a kid that my friends and I would own a movie theater. We’d play what we wanted, when we wanted, for people who wanted to see good movies with better people. We don’t own the theater, but tonight we made this dream a reality. Come watch Can’t Hardly Wait with everyone on the Read at the Show team, the podcasters from TellMeSomething.org, the artists from fearofbears.net …and some amazing people who just love the movie.

Screening is at 8pm (get there early) at the Clairidge Theater in Montclair, NJ. Tickets are $6. It will also be the first time i’ll have Bruce Willis with Hair, my poetry book, available for free. I’ll be selling shirts and books and all good things. I’ll also be taking donations for future screenings.

Come out tonight…enjoy it :)

8

You can tattoo a sideways 8 on your hand

but know you aren’t coming back up.

Then there’s the brown and the smoke…

the things that depress you in bathtubs…

drinking alone.

In my mind, I never left that night on the phone…

when she told me foreign mouths make her feel home.

I had to let her go. Goodbye. So long.

And if everything works out for me, I will never tire and

I will never expire and I will never watch

my friends destroy each other.

The future belongs to village idiots

inking stories about love on napkins.

The Dangers of Living.

Dear Ashley,

A rally that’s closer to a miracle holds a head full

of thoughts climbing thoughts to get to the top

of a heap comprised of concerns and faults.

I keep it together long enough to look at pictures

from her wedding, made available on the internet

for strangers and friends. He races boats for a living

while she teaches children and it’s the kind of

interesting that borders on safe. I am a danger. I am

a waste.

A rally in my body balances the symphony of all the

scores from every movie made every year since I was

born. Just another sense of self you get when you

take some steps on the ceiling of your apartment.

She teaches children reading and arithmetic.

I teach children how to sew hearts on their jackets.

“Maybe you should read this

packet if you haven’t already.”

Someone who doesn’t live here turns on Playstation.

A girl has her bed in my roommate’s walk-in closet.

Weak seal on the window lets water bead inside of it.

A man takes a Facebook wife with groomsmen on the

newsfeed giving a blue thumbs up to the fast life.

Nick Writes About Movies

Hi all,

So as you know, I’m a movie person. I like writing, but my first love will always be movies. I love sharing movies with people, lending them out …I’ve accumulated waaay too many DVDs (over 1000). So…that being said, my friend Dylan Wise won a free MoviePass for a year. Basically, if you go to moviepass.com, you can check it out …it’s like Netflix but for movies in theaters (kind of)

Part of the deal with him winning is that he had to maintain a blog of all the movies he saw. This blog is called The Projection List. He asked me to beef out this movie list with some feature articles. The result is a movie blog that is unlike anything out there. It’s not tame or normal. It’s very odd …with some very unique voices. I’m proud to be a contributing writer.

Check out The Projection List here: http://tellmesomething.org/pl

Here’s my article about why Blue Valentine is a new stoner classic:

Enjoy and spread the word!

portraitofaserialkiller asked: hey nick! first of all i wanna say i absolutely love your poetry - it really is beautiful and helps the day pass at work by scrolling through your tumblr and having a good old read :) so i wanna order your book and get it shipped to someone really special and i wanted to know if you could write a message inside the cover for me? :) i don't know how to end this without it sounding really formal haha um keep up the good writing, man! <3

of course!! if you order the book at www.twowrongsmakeavice.com …I’ll write something in it for you :) just send me a message on here and let me know a little about you and this special person …so I can kind of get an idea of what to write. That goes for everyone …order the book, tell me a story, I’ll write for you!

Out of Your Body/Looking at Yourself

This for all the people you wish you slept with …

and every chance you missed.

For the people in letters, in yearbooks, photos

and crossed out on lists.

For oceans that keep me being me and you being you

and for the land that connects us through.

We ride a train line to a distant station, in hopes of

familiar love and loving faces.

Sitting awake thinking about every life I could’ve lived,

if I had only been anyone different…

And for every door I closed, I left one unlocked and open…

in case my past followed on the wind.

When I checked over my shoulder, I knew I was alone again…

because things pass with pitiful indifference.

A few encouraging words I imagine spoken in a famous voice

tell me about a lease I can’t pay for

And a repossession that will be by force, not by choice…

A lover in a wallet…

Music making noise…

A shared winter bed…

Simple-smelling joy.

Can’t Hardly Wait …under a week away

Hi! So, as you know, it’s been a serious dream for me and my friends to one day play movies we want to watch in really amazing theaters…and to be able to share that with all of you. That dream is taking its first fledgling step next Thursday (2/2/12) at the Clairidge Theater in Montclair, New Jersey

We’re going to be screening Can’t Hardly Wait …a coming of age classic (if you haven’t seen it, you need to show up). The screening starts at 8pm and it’s only $6 at the door. The money will go back into funding not only this site and the writing here, but also the art of Abby Resko at fearofbears.net and the work of Dylan Wise at tellmesomething.org

After the movie, we’re all going to be hanging out …I’ll have books for sale and hard copies of Bruce Willis with Hair, my first poetry book, to give away. If you’re in the area, try to make it out!

Article about the screening: http://tellmesomething.org/pl/cant-hardly-wait-the-screening.html

I am never happy because I am happy all the time.

Someone asked me if I saw life in timeline view

…with a headline picture and some videos.

A history of auto-refresh and reminders of the

years we pass…updating and populating from

popular kids in our class. A picture blurs edges

and works some Polaroid effects in…but at its

core, just another street and city seen before.

Someone asked me if I saw my life in feeds…

people leaving you more of the internet to read.

Stories that turn waves back on waves and leave

drowned public figures floating on a foamy wake.

One article under another, like covers over children

set forth on indoor camping trips. Post another

photo, just make sure the filter is applied to it.

And what about making a profile? Talk more about

your likes…the things that make you different and

all that makes you feel all right. Maybe you’ll make

a connection..maybe no more connections in this life.

I am never happy because I am happy all the time…

how can I not be when I’m the only one on my mind?

bewitchingly asked: For Valentine's day, I asked my beau to gift me Two Wrongs Make a Vice. He asked me what I wanted, and I couldn't think of anything I wanted more than your book. :)

oh god! I don’t want your boyfriend to hate me …I should send it to the both of you and I’ll write something really, really romantic in it…wishing you and him all the best, etc etc. You know what? go to www.twowrongsmakeavice.com and order my book, and I’ll put some real sappy words in there for anyone. The book is $10 (includes shipping!) and it comes with all free stuff…including a printed copy of Bruce Willis with Hair:) my first poetry collection.

Thanks for all the love and support! And if you have a Valentine this year, just enjoy the night…eat good food…have meaningful conversation…make that person laugh, even if they aren’t your boyfriend or girlfriend or whatever. Oh …and read them some poetry. That’s always romantic. If you need some poetry, I hear this site is a decent place to get it.
