Love these emails.

Especially after reading about defrauding american investors in "The Corrections"

Greetings

I have been waiting for you since to contact me for your Confirm able
Bank Draft of $800.000.00 United States Dollars which i promised you, but
I did not hear from you since that time. Then I went and deposited the
Draft with ASIA PACIFIC COURIER SERVICE, Malaysia, I will travel out of the
country for a Month Course and I will not come back till end of Junly.
What you have to do now is to contact the ASIA PACIFIC COURIER SERVICE as soon
as possible to know when they will deliver your package to you because of
the expiring date. For your information, I have paid for the delivering
Charge, Insurance premium and Clearance Certificate Fee of the Cheque
showing that it is not a Drug Money or meant to sponsor Terrorist attack
in your Country.


The only money you will send to the ASIA PACIFIC COURIER SERVICE to deliver
your Draft direct to your postal Address in your country is ($180.00 US)
Dollars only being Security Keeping Fee of the Courier Company so far.
Again, don’t be deceived by anybody to pay any other money except
$180.00US Dollars. I would have paid that but they said no because they
don't know when you will contact them and in case of demurrage. You have

also let me know through email as soon as you receive your Draft.

6 word stories.

So I was reading some Hemingway (nose in air) and went to look up a story on wiki but randomly found this. He wrote a story in 6 words and said that was his best. How very Hemingway you might be thinking. Thought I'd give it a shot:

I
Younger than me; with three kids.
II
Growth spurt, realization, disenchanted. Lemon bitters.
III
The Abyss foreshadowed B.P. golf disaster
IV
Friendster->Myspace->Facebook/Twitter->the end.
V
Band tattoo, bad record and/or breakup.
VI
Creatively uncreative inuh conventionally unconventional way
VII
Maybe I'll do more later, not.

Scuba Diving x Hawaii

I recently became a PADI certified Scuba diver. It is very fun. If anyone gets this opportunity, I strongly encourage they try it too. I've never been to Oahu before but it's pretty cool i guess. I'm staying at the Ko'olina Marriott . Saturday I go to Waikiki. Come home Monday, see you thar. Here are some underwater pics and some other randums.

Elephant Tree Online

The fucking mouthbreathers over in the english department at Chapman decided to upload the 2010 issue onto my interwebs. Very good. You can read it HERE.

Dayz of Summer

So I've been thinking about Summer. What am I going to do all Summer living at home and not going to school? What are my friends going to do all Summer? What are my friend's pets thinking about when they are licking their crotch? I hope to share many laughs as well as beers in the sun with fellow compadres. If you have any ideas, activities, or opportunities that only a fool would pass-up, then do tell. Here is a rough sketch and some ideas for Summer:

May

15th LACMA
16th memorial for Nick
17th-21st Finals (fml)
22nd-31st Hawaii

June

1st Officially have zero obligations as of this day. And to keep my mind stimulated i have formulated a loose weekly schedule thats looks a but like this:

everyday: vocab
weekly: nihongo review
odd days read:
even days write:
pool partiez every day.

4th Servite graduation
10th Menzingers

st,nd,rd,th, any day: road trip chico/sf?

July

4th Newport rage like you have no idea
23rd my birthday and possible trip to Boston/NY

August

7th KLAF6 (possible road trip around this time)
30th back2school

I would..

give up anything to see that everyone I care about lives long and fruitful lives. Nothing is fair. Sell your motorcycle.

NO FURTURE

Some Thoughts on Easter

Sometimes if I'm bored I start thinking: Are my thoughts really my thoughts? I'm just thinking what this stupid world has taught me to think. Then I decide to stop thinking about that because it is pointless. Pointless just like plenty of other things that enter my weak mind.

Heart that was big as the bowels of Vesuvius
Words that were winged as her sparks in eruption
Eagled and thundered as Jupiter Pluvius
Sound in your wind past all signs o' corruption

That's something I didn't write, so here is something I did write (first in a while :((((): It's about how I want to put a huge tall t around everything I enjoy.

From neck to knee
A graphic with something so ill, it will read:
"Within the lungs dwells a seed"
The key is broken in a lung, freed.
Out of reach, so I just hate me for being me
I used to stop so I could grow
Now I don't remember going to and fro
If only you could see
What this means to me
Everyone deserves a super siq T
A tall T with not much on the sleeve
Thats heart-shaped and pretty

Hella Repost buttttt

See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.

At first I thought this was going to be really lame, but found myself remembering the trooper clerks and how much I liked that. Very well done!

Straight in at 101

You pull your dress over your face,
And I stare down towards my chest,
Chastise both our greasy hair,
Wonder whose gut is the softest.
Stand with my ear to the door listening to the landing floorboards,
Working out when will be safe to dash from mattress to your bathroom,
Where I ball my fingers into fists until my knuckles glow bright white,
Press the heels into eye sockets 'til I see the flashing lights.
Stop me when my stories change/
When they have started to repeat,
'Cause last time I was a mess of sleep of icy feet.

So baby;
All apologies.
It was going to happen,
inevitably.

I think we need more post-coital and less post-rock.
Feels like the build-up takes forever but you never touch my cock and what exactly do you mean now,
By "what can you even eat?
And how does that affect how I'll get off this evening?".

"Some people give themselves to religion,
Some people give themselves to a cause,
Some people give themselves to a lover,
I have to give my self to goals".

Los Campesinos rule so hard. Save the dates May 8th and 10th for when they come here shit is going to get wild.

AWK

Good thing Alexis brought this to my attention.

Cats have it made. They do not care about anything. They have never heard about teenagers being raped, kids stepping on land mines, grandparents that don't recognize their spouse, etc etc. Ignorance truly is bliss and if i could transcend all the bullshit in the human world and become a cat, you bet your fucking dog i would.

Does anyone remember this?

Randomly just thought of it and if i was drinking kool-aid i would have choked and/or spat it up.

Some days...

I don't feel like myself. I dont know why.

A LOVE TOKEN

I have the first part of a short story I'm writing in a book my friend RIcardo made with nice photos and words. You can read that HERE. It works better though if you bug Ricardo for a copy :).

MIDNIGHT FUCKERSSSSS

KiD CuDi

I feel like he "stands"(obviously not in the literal sense; note the levitation picture above) for something bigger than music/art/whatever. People think I'm whack for being so into his shit but like does anyone else kinda feel me on this one? The picture is from his blog everyone should follow that.

"Not Worth Reading"

This is the piece thats getting published in the Chapman Literary Journal thing. I submitted two but apparently stories about killing yourself (at the end the narrator decides making people laugh is reason in itself to keep living) aren't up to par with Chapman's standards. But Stories that make next to zero sense are. If some how you take the 4 minutes out of your busy lives to read it, feedback would be much appreesht. Fuck it.

Watch me, in its entirety, get up for a let down HERE.

:))))))))))))

From an email yesterday:

"Dear James Florance III,

Congratulation!
This letter is to inform you that the work you submitted for publication in the 2010 issue of Chapman University’s Literary Magazine, Elephant Tree, has been approved."

Very cool.

Kubla Kahn

Sorry about all the Romantic poetry and shit but its what im reading since I dont have time to read all the children books I would LIKE to read (i.e. The Very Persistent Gappers of Frip).

Iron Maiden did a cover of "Rime of the Ancient Mariner", so you know it's good shit. After I read Kubla it didn't do much for me until we talked about it in class. Coleridge did hella opium so he was all messed up and thought of the story and before he was done writing it some asshole knocked on his door to collect a debt forever fragmenting the piece.

So why show this to you? Instead of being confident like like Woodsworth or Blake he's a little more insecure and talks about what it takes to get to the creative side of yourself and to be great at something. I swear I'm going to post something fun to read soon.

Went to San Francisco and had this on my mind to ponder for the seemingly 15 hour shit stain of a drive listening to probably one of everything on my outdated ipod (on the way there at least). Chris has now spent 20 years on this lonely/confused/nonsensical planet. Cool.

THE TYGER (from Songs Of Experience)

By William Blake

When the discussion for this happenend in class I couldn't stop thinking about lygers. The etching on the OG versions even looks like one.

Torn between following my dreams and slamming my face into the brick wall that is real,
FLORGASH

p.s. if u read lyger and didn't give a shit, i didn't either. but this will be the influence for poetry i am to write in the coming months.

"Better Things to do" (2010)

By: florgash

Like anything I do on my own, I'm afraid to share it with others because I hate myself so much. People seem to like this piece though so im going to put it on here and hope more people read it.

Waste almost nothing of your computer's disk space HERE.

"Persuassion Nation" & " Macon, Georgia Fort Knox, Kentucky"

Both the photos and the cover are by a photographer I just discovered named Micheal Schmelling and the book is something I got from a siq bookstore in Venice Beach, CA. Can't remember my name but I left my wallet there on accident and had to go back and get it. Very friendly people and a very adorable maine coon kitteh. I've posted George Saunders before so I think we know how I feel about him.

Hot Chip + Top Billin'

This is what i want to listen to. I just realized i posted a book last time and instead of hating myself for it im just going to start posting the books I read and music and whatever the fuck else i deem relevant for purposes of perpetuating ideals i see fit.

Very excited for Coachella :]

"Choke"

by: Chuck Palahniuk

My friend Sarah let me borrow this a few months ago. Finally stopped caring about stupid shit like school/finals and finished it. first book of his i've actually read and it was awesome. 10/10.

What would Jesus not do?

Contra

I know this is just the cover for Vampire Weekend's Contra, but I see the posters all over London and don't mind them at all. looks too siq.
