Inside My Head number 3.28 for NaPodPoMo 2009.

Today’s show contains all of the Haiku of Frustration that were created for the NaPodPoMo experience in 2008. I’ve been wanting to put them together for quite some time now, and today, it all came together.

As a result, I have created a “Time Capsule” of sorts, that emphasizes some very striking differences between what my life was like last November, and what it is like this November. Things are so much better now!

Enjoy some very rant-y Haiku of Frustration from last year.

Inside My Head Podcast number 3.27 for NaPodPoMo 2009.

This is the first “holiday season” in at least four or five years where I am NOT stuck working as a wage slave in “retail hell”. Usually, I have been stuck working today, the worst day of the year to be a wage slave, the infamous Black Friday. It’s quite nice to NOT be in retail hell this year.

I talk about the differences I’ve noticed in my life between this year and last year at this time. It was easy to spot the differences, once Shawn and I ventured into “The Evil Bookstore” to do a little bit of Christmas shopping.

That was the inspiration for a short rant, and, Today’s Haiku of Frustration. It’s called “Bad Vibes”.

I played a song by Universal Poplab, with a song called “I Could Say I’m Sorry”.

Inside My Head podcast number 3.18 for NaPodPoMo 2009.

Today, I experimented with something I’ve never tried before, just to see what would happen. I made my very first Audioboo! I think it went pretty well, for a first time. This is not a recording method that I think I will use very often because it has to be done on an iPhone. I do have access to Shawn’s iPhone, but, recording by phone is not my preferred method of podcasting.

I wanted to give Audioboo a try because it was something I’d never done before, and because I can see where it might come in handy if I ever need to record a podcast while traveling.

There is a haiku included in today’s Audioboo. It may, or may not, be one of frustration, depending on your own perception of it. It’s called “Circle of Tech”.

Inside My Head number 3.13 for NaPodPoMo 2009

Yesterday, the construction workers came, and created a giant pile of dust in front of my house. Breathing in all this dust is very bad for someone as allergic as me. So, I got sick. Therefore, I was angry, and frustrated. What do I do when I’m frustrated? I write Haiku of Frustration!

Today I read the series of haiku I wrote on Twitter yesterday, when I was mad at the Construction workers. Enjoy!

Inside My Head Podcast number 3.3 for NaPodPoMo 2009
NOT for “2007″ as I said at the beginning of this episode, for some reason. Wow! Where was my brain at?

This one was a bit of an experiment. I dug through all the Inside My Head Podcast episodes that I did for NaPodPoMo 2007, and pulled out all the haiku. Then, I strung them all together, and gave it a snazzy, jazzy, background beat. To me, the result sounds like what you might get if a Beatnik did a spoken word performance inspired by their experiences while frustrated.

What do you think of it? Leave me a comment.

Many of the haiku in today’s episode can be found in the book Haiku of Frustration: Wage Slave. The book has a total of 98 haiku, and a few drawings, inspired by the frustrations I experienced while working as a wage slave in a big chain retail book store.

Inside My Head podcast number 95

This is the Halloween episode! I don’t think I’ve ever done one of those before on Inside My Head. Halloween is just a few days away, so, I am getting this podcast in just under the wire. Better late than never, I suppose.

Today’s Haiku of Frustration is called: “Anytime Now”. Seemed appropriate, as I was recording this episode of Inside My Head moments before the US Government was supposed to call me in regards to Unemployment Insurance.

Music on today’s show by:
* Shawn from Hyper Nonsense, with a song called “Halloween is Awesome”. If you click on that link, it takes you directly to the final episode of Hyper Nonsense.
Here is the video for that song:

* Troy Sinister and the Cemetery Men, with a song called “The Living Dead”.

* Johnny O and the Jerks, with a song called “Zombie Love Affair”.
Want to watch somebody draw a zombie girl while listening to that song? Here ya go! (Pretty sure this isn’t officially from the band):

* The Supersuckers, with a song called “Sleepy Vampire”.
Here is a video of The Supersuckers at The House Of Blues:

Have a happy Halloween, everyone!

…pretty sure I’m losing mine.

This is episode number 94 of Inside My Head. I recorded this one at around two in the morning, so, if I sound a little tired, well, that’s the reason.

Being unemployed is making me revert back to being nocturnal. But, I’m getting a lot of stuff done while I can’t sleep. So, there’s that. I’ve also lost track of what day it is. This is my fourth week of being officially unemployed.

Today’s Haiku of Frustration is called: “That Figures!”. To get your fix of more Haiku of Frustration, check out the book : Haiku of Frustration: Wage Slave. The sequel is being put together right now!

Music in today’s show by:

* Braindouche, with a lovely piece of music called “Ambient Strings”, that I was lucky enough to get permission to share with you on my show. You’re going to just love it!

* The Stark Effect, with a song called “Bunny Rabbits, Satan, Cheese and Milk”.

* The Bathtub Sophist, with a song called “Binary”.

The promo I played on today’s show is for the Angel Between the Lines Podcast. Episode Two is almost ready! I might have a few lines in this one, if I remember correctly. I promise this episode has zombies in it! Go check it out.
