Hello, and welcome to the “all new” Ramblings and Disorganized Drivel of Hooligan D blog. I am the hooligan, the “D” stands for Don and this is my blog.

I began this blog five years ago because I am a sucker for peer pressure (everyone else was doing it) and it seemed like it could be fun. When I began the blog it really had no direction and blindly I had no idea how or what I was doing so unless you’d enjoy some goofy poems I wouldn’t even bother with the archived posts prior to 2011.

The new direction with the blog will be along the lines of what the name suggests; ramblings and disorganized drivel. Basically it will be whatever I feel like talking about at the time. It could be a vehicle to display any new artwork I have created (did I mention that I am an artist), a talk about sports (rants about my favorite teams and their inability to keep me from having to rant about them) or maybe even a goofy poem now and then. Mostly it will probably be about my favorite subject and that is music. I have an extensive library and knowledge of music (I think that I could have done really well on that old Rock N Roll Jeopardy show that was on VH1 for a few years) that I feel like sharing with the world.

Some of the music will be well known to most while others will be very obscure and probably unheard of for the most part. It will not be album reviews because I can’t stand and usually disagree with critics anyway, but will be more of here is this group, this is their genre and a few samples so you can decide for yourself. I know that personally I have discovered some of my favorites groups by accident through a music review or just thumbing through the discount section in a music store and trying a band that just has a cool or unusual name.

Currently I am planning on this being a weekly blog, but may change that as time goes on. I do not know who, or if anyone will read my blog, but I figure, even if no one does, it will still give me a creative outlet to talk or ramble on and will, hopefully, keep me from just aimlessly staring at the same handful of websites for hours at a time.

So, with that, “Le……………….t’s get ready to Ramble!”

THE HOOLIGAN REARS IT'S UGLY HEAD!!

Hello, how are ya? To my one (or maybe two) readers I would like to apologize for vanishing and not posting for what seems like an eternity! And to those who were happy about it, your welcome! I have not lost my desire to blog or my clumsy ability to write second rate professionally novice meaningfulless poems! What happened is I've grown addicted to online fantasy sports and it's seems to consume all of my time! I now have three hockey teams, a football team and a basketball team! I still plan to post on my blog just not with the everyday regularity that I was! Today I've got a poem! Hope you like it! I call it.............


DEVIL'S NIGHT!

Thirtieth of October tis the night of the devil,
Devil's Night as it's universally known;
A night, after dark, to stay off the streets,
Kill the lights, and keep safe in your home;

Legions of pranksters and malcontents,
Gather together every year on this night;
Playful to malicious criminal jokesters,
Thriving off of other peoples fright;

Toilet paper, soap, eggs and paint,
Are just some of their tools;
On this night inexplicably good hides it's face,
And evil is allowed to rule;

No rhymes and no reasons,
No where's and definitely no why's;
In your house, in the dark you sit,
hoping they'll pass you on by;

Hiding, shivering behind a locked door,
Knowing there's nothing that you can say;
This year you won't be their target,
Silently repeatedly this you pray;

But alas on deaf ears no one is listening,
Unanswered all of your prayers fall flat;
And in the dead quiet of the Devil's Night,
You hear the egg go SPLAT!

IF I ASK ME!




Good evening, or day or morning, depending on where you're reading this from. Oh who the Hell am I trying to kid?!

Well this little poem probably deserves an explanation or an interpretation or even a cute little anecdote on how it was conceived but I don't have one! So I guess that means you don't get one!
I call this poem.......


"MIRROR CRACKED"



Hello dear me hello how am I?
I am fine and maybe by coincidence so am I!

Please tell me what I think of me,
I am the same as so are we!

Can I play with the madness now?
If only I can also somehow!

I will also if I can too,
Whatever else have I, me or we to do!

For those of you thinking this a bit strange,
It's just myself and I, all twisted and rearranged!

And anyone understanding this and hearing what you see,
Stop reading this and seek professional help, immediately!
