Last time I tried to blog here, my computer kept freezing, and after three tries, I gave it up. That was when Poet/Punk Rocker Jim Carroll died, one of my punk poet idols. Instead, I posted as Chirichica on my Postmodern Prometheus blogspot. I felt compelled to respond, to say something about Jim's passing. I Twittered comments, and blogged as my alter ego. I was sad, so very sad, that Jim Carroll died. But he lived hard for a time, and I suppose it caught up with him at sixty.  Read more >

Who We Are

I've heard it said, "The choices you make defines who you are." I disagree. I think the opposite is true, that who we are defines the choices we make. If we change, inevitably, so do the choices we make. If we don't like the choices we make, we have to change. Making different choices is evidence of change, a new definition of who we have become, who we are.      Read more >

My Snail Pace

I've always been slow. At everything. Snail pace. I think it's because of fear, insecurity, lack of confidence, and my intolerance of being less than perfect, even though I KNOW it takes time to master something, and imperfection is part of the learning process, and that mistakes don't make me a failure, just human.  Read more >

First Best Friend, Fifty-four Years Later

Several months ago, a cyber-friend invited me to get on Facebook. We met through a grass-roots organization several years ago, exchanging comments on the group's emails. We spoke once over the phone, and we occasionally exchange a personal email. But for the most part, she sends me those forwarded emails that circulate around the net. I read them and delete them. Some are amusing or interesting, but the chain emails claiming dire consequences if I don't participate in continuing the chain annoy me (and I've never trusted them, just seemed something fishy about them).  Read more >

About Me: 

I like to write. I had always dreamed of being a writer. I have a creative blog I'm working on in Blogger, which I'm hoping develops into a successful endeavor. It's a work in progress. For now, it's Postmodern Prometheus, and the character is Chirichica. I'm not tech savvy, but am learning as I go along. In researching information on blogging, I came across this site.

I am a poet. By vocation, not profession. Sometimes I read in public, mainly open mic (some people spell that "mike"). I hope to put out a chapbook soon.

I have had jobs, mainly clerical, but never actually developed a profession. I consider myself an artist, pure artist. That is, by vocation, not profession. I don't get paid to do it, but I still do it, it's important to me, and I'm serious about it.

Dropped out of high school. Married at sixteen. Divorced at thirty. Obtained a BA in English from UCBerkeley when I was forty. Took some grad courses in English/Lit at San Francisco State University.

Currently rent a room in my son's apartment in San Francisco. Am thinking of getting a real estate license. I've completed the coursework, just need to take the state exam.

Profession: 
homemaker
Location: 
San Francisco
