Coreyshead 2013 Calendar of Distortions
November 27th, 2012 by Corey A. Edwards
Awreety, awright – it’s time once again for me to pimp my wares (as opposed to “where’s my pimp?”) and offer you with absolutely no shame dsplayed, my 7th “annual” photography calendar.

Way More Than I Needed To Know

the Paeuljibras hover
the Paeuljibras flit
the Paeuljibras acknowledge
then link up, then split
the Paeuljibras look in
they dig through my mind
then fill it with theirs
’til I’m no where to find

Why I’m a Pansy-Assed Liberal
November 4th, 2012 by Corey A. Edwards
I know that my opinion is of little value or interest in the overall scheme of things; I’ll not be changing your mind any more than a recitation of facts would. Further, I don’t believe our present government, no matter whom is at the helm or what their political affiliation, has the *ability* to have our best interests at heart or would be very effective even if they could … but I’ll rush into the breach, anyhow.

For Relaxing Times, Make It … Cretaceous Times
October 8th, 2012 by Corey A. Edwards
It has been a long, long time since I’ve been all that interested in dinosaurs. Like zombies and bacon, dinosaurs are, by now, more than a little played out (although, show me a zombie dinosaur made of bacon and you might have something – just don’t let it dance “Gangnam Style”).

Redking (giant size)
September 20th, 2012 by Corey A. Edwards
(click through for variations)
Ah, Redking, foe of Ultraman and your brother and sister monsters alike. Oh, Redking: you of the wobbly head and snarky disposition. Yes, Redking – so called because of your utter lack of red coloring (at least in all the initial incarnations). Hey Redking, where you goin’ with that tower in your hand?

Bat Otoko

(click through for variations)
A recent, birthday-related-cum-ill-advised shopping trip on YahooJapan provided me with four new additions to my Japanese toy collection and an exchange-rate hangover.
Here’s #2: Bat Otoko from the Kamen Rider series. This is the reissue, not the original – hey, what am I? Made of money?
Bat man. In Kamen Rider he’s a bad guy, in case you couldn’t tell. I like this toy because it is so incredibly ugly.
Skull Star

A recent, birthday-related-cum-ill-advised shopping trip on YahooJapan provided me with four new additions to my Japanese toy collection and an exchange-rate hangover.
Here’s #1: Skull Star from the Tiger Mask series. He’s a wrassler, folks. Stand back.
Nice to have something that adds to two collections at once: vintage Japanese vinyl and skulls.
Do I need an intervention or what?
So Much For Heaven

he contemplates his inner self
forsooth to shore his mental health
and there within he finds a shelf
upon which there is nothing

The Wouldn’t Boat Festival
September 7th, 2012 by Corey A. Edwards
One of the small towns hereabouts holds an annual and well-attended celebration known as The Wooden Boat Festival.
Hundreds of people come from all over the world to indulge in and share their love for this archaic, pleasure craft passion. Milling about, they ooh and ahh over lacquered hulls, canvas sheets, coils of hemp, and brass fittings, imagining themselves transported over the waves as if in some fantastic dream …
Man, what the hell is it about boating?

It Takes Guts
August 9th, 2012 by Corey A. Edwards
A while back I purchased a great little book of Japanese monsters, shown in cross-section, in an attempt to shed a little light upon just what it is that makes them tick.
Great concept. Hours of fun.
The only problem is, the darned thing is all in Japanese! The nerve of these people! (they also made a mistake and printed the whole thing backwards – someone lost his job at the printing house that day, I can tell you)
Anyway, I took it upon myself to decipher those inscrutable little squigglies that littered the page and present to you here the few I manged to get through before passing out with exertion. Phew. My brain. (be sure to click on them for a closer view)

Farceblech
July 23rd, 2012 by Corey A. Edwards
What with all the changes in my life of late – all the new responsibilities, all the new distractions, all the new fun, plus a return to musical expression after a long hiatus – I have very little time, or even inclination to be totally honest, to do much e-shareable creating. That being said, I have kept up with my weekly profile update on everyone’s favorite complete waste of time website, Facebook, and so feel an urge to share here with those who may not have caught sight of my unending brilliance on said site.
