Fat Twinks, Rage and Dancing Like Black People

You’ve just got to love the searchabilityness of the interwebs. We say it all the time, but NOTHING get’s lost on this thing. Every bobble of information, every bit of conversation, every off handed tag you’ve ever tugged is always there somewhere lurking, ready to pop up on a search engine in all it’s embarrassing glory. It’s kind of like your mom showing up at your office with photos of you as a kid in your Spider Man underoos. Good thing I was a cute kid. Read the rest of this entry »

Spells, media and male feminists: new interviews

mitierra

So now that Oakland Local’s out of the gate and in the race I’ve been getting back into the swing of reporting after spending most of the year on marketing projects.   It’s amazing how a few months can add dust to your dancing shoes, but I figure I’ll be back to fighting weight and ready to clean off a place on the mantle for a Pulitzer by, um, realistically, next Tuesday.

But in the meantime I’ve been grabbing lots of impromptu interviews (which I’ll get around to posting soon) in addition to more structured dealies.   Lots of talk about art, media, journalism, and the general grappling with the WTF world that we do around these parts.   A lot of the interviews were for Oakland Local but of course my alter ego-The Long Winded Inquisitor-made sure to cover enough ground to be able to chop, screw and parse till my little editor’s heart is content.  I like the idea of a longer book project, but then so does everybody else, so we’ll see how that goes.

For right now just check a couple of edited pieces that I have up now. I’ll be posting more regularly and figuring out what to do with the raw (rawr baby) material. Read the rest of this entry »

Coloured is better

Good morning,

Watch this.  It’s hilarious. Don’t think about it too much about it though. Just laugh, and continue with your day.

Me in 140 characters

Welcome to the Boothism Blog-

A left coast, black futurist take on art, life, culture, and randomness.

Heavy on the randomness.

boothismprofilefanlarge


My name is Kwan and I write things.

Features, news and essays, fiction, poems and collateral, marketing strategies and bits of conversations, genius words of inspiration and dada nonsense couplets.


It's a bit of an addiction.


But it helps to put things in perspective

And so far it pays the bills.

But you're not here to pay the bills are you? If you were, you'd be over here. Where I write for the big bucks.


You're here to get some of those not so random words aren't you?

I can see it in your eyes-the deep longing, the searching, the need.


It's okay, really. That's why I'm here too:

-to toss sentences into the air and see what soars

-to chase ideas with butterfly nets

-to figure out the what's and why's

-to find out the who's and when's

-to grab all the little slices

-and wrap arms around the big questions.


I think you'll dig it
