SUNDAY

hello world, i been off the grid, palf and schoolhouse got
me rolling - squeezing noveltime here and there

and this endgame got me spooked, got to reconcept
primary thread - this sorceror who would be prophet

im feeling a little humble today, running scared
and questioning my game, magic or fantasy

today im voting fantasy, today reality is winning
today i wonder if this just a juneteenth fakeout - the wouldbe

greaat novel that never seem to be great enough

will this novel ever be viable - or am i in truth just the footnote
the literary world claim me to be - do i simply not have the chops

to be true voice

focus rick, keep the faith - ignore anxieties, ignore internal pressures
external pressures, anything that depress discourage or distract me

just Know one day this novel will be the work of
wonder i see in my head and it will all have

been worthwhile - i tell folk 20 years cause i once found a draft of this novel
from 1990, but ive actually been busting it about 8 now, long enough

feel like ive given it my youth

suppose to be a bigtime conjureman
bending reality to my will is what i do

well this reality has not bent and I wonder
sometime why the gods have cursed me

why give me the power/vision/need
and not allow me to manifest

they want to keep me hungry, keep
my nose to the grindstone - so be it

today we work that spine - focus rick
its always showtime - and im always behind

masterpiece or farce, make it happen
let the generations decide

FRIDAY

obama speech successful in deflecting some of the pastor wright heat
but its a vulnerability no matter how it plays

impressive that obama didnt throw wright under the bus, i wouldve -
that oldschool rhetoric is terminally marginal and counterproductive in

the 21st century - we dont want to bring america down, we want to claim
and guide her, maddog rhetoric dont put blackfolk in a illuminated state of mind

dont nothing stres the old conjureman like weak longgame - but
some strong and pertinent folk still stuck in that mode

i have to work them to, try to get them on the good foot
been a struggle to break free of it myself

i am a die hard black nationalist but i am not the angry
black militant i was when i was 20 - radical purity is for kids

obamas campaign been repudiation of that oldschool idea of struggle
cant be running yesterdays game in tomorrows struggle

have to figure out how to be black in a multi culti world,
a comfortable part of the mix - players instead of victims

i spec boy obama wove thru that one about as deftly as could be done

wright gon still cost boy obama but such is life - cant fault a man for allegiances -
my understanding is that there is more to him than soundbites portray

this campaign been as much a wakeup call for black america
as its been for white america, hispanic america et al

speaking of which timely move by richardson - good looking out mi amigo -
wouldnt that be a nice ticket - but it would totally freak the nervous whitefolk

o what a tangled web - ima leave it alone
have not done any novelwork lately

let me get serious
weary but still struggling

springbreak woodsheds: clocking pages and the nature of endgames

SUNDAY MORNING

last day of miniwoodshed, got some work done, clocked some pages
but lord knows i wish i had done more - but aint that always the case

okay okay i know what you want, commentary - lets look at repubs voting
for hillary in order to weaken obama - she got 119,000 of them in texas and beat

obama by 101,000- the word among repub strategists is keep hillary in the race

"It's as simple as, I don't think McCain can beat Obama if Obama is the Democratic choice," says one in texas "I do believe Hillary can mobilize enough [anti-Clinton] people to keep her out of office."

so my question is are repubs allowed to vote in penn
what about the other states left, when does this farce end

obamas shot in penn seem to be rooted in the white male swing voter
read an article say he needs to emphasize his community organizing roots

show he understand their problems and has an idea of addressing
them beyond amorphous calls for change - speaking of which

i see obama had to reject and denounce pastor wright - brother wright
maybe a little too oldschool for the strategic moment

some blackfolk gon charge obama for this one but the players
UNDERSTAND THE GAME and gon give him room to play it

21st century stylee

this hnn article says there will be 3 issues facing new presidents - economy, healthcare and national security - then makes case obamas position on all 3 more viable, that on national security both clinton and mccain basically want to do more of the same and that obama is the only real democrat left running

article say we got a serious choice to make - and the long campaign has been good for
fleshing folk out and how on so many levels we cant afford to blow this

marching on the crossroads, where
the yellow cross the dog

the shape of the future lies in
the choice of the moment

FRIDAY 857 pm

a good day, not a great day but a good day

interesting newsweek article on race and gender in american politics
let me try to give you the gist of it, ill clean it up later

law review article: unconscious race and gender bias in the 2008 election
this columnist was interviewing the authors - this a synopsis of what it said:

they say even folk who profess egalitarian belief generally harbor instinctive bias
against blacks, say 80 - 90% of americans have mild bias against blacks - 30 to 40% more so

say credentials that help white job applicants dont necessarily help black applicants
and that the 2008 election is like an elaborate job interview

say with blacks folk have implicit animus, with women implicit stereotypes

say two kinds of judgments, the automatic unconscious system, the implicit
and the slower reason based deductive judgment, the explicit

to fight stereotype women arent leaders clinton has to carry herself as a strong leader
say she is able to fight that bias explicitly w/no cost to herself

obama has a tougher job because bias against blacks is more of an animus
black is considered negative without regard to specific, blacks bad whites good

so obama has to work against being perceived as black, folk have to interpret him with positive energy
imagery american tend to associate with whites, so his campaign has amorphous goals

like hope and aspiration because cant embrace black goals

say white voters have at the last moment a TENDENCY TO FLINCH when voting for obama
the bradley effect - just cant bring themselves to push the button

say in the general election clinton will be forced to appeal to more voters who want
women to be conventional helpmeets

that in the general election obama will face fewer whites who care about a post racial future
liberal democrats like the idea that race wont matter, republicans and independents not so much

say there is also a correlation between 'blacks' and 'foreign' which will attempt to tar
obama with his middlename and questioning his patriotism

which will be a problem in the general running against an authentic war hero
say winning a long tough primary will address concern about whether he is electable

say obama cannot play the victim card, anything that draw attention to race will hurt him

"Studies suggest that when you press people on their gender-stereotypical biases, they kind of laugh it off. Because it's not such a hot issue. They're like, "Whatever. I'm not sexist." But if you press them on their racial biases, particularly in regards to blacks, one of two things happens.  If they're low on explicit racial prejudice, they become contrite, apologetic, they want to know what they can do to overcome it. But if they are high on explicit racial bias, they become angry and antagonistic. When you accuse whites who harbor certain levels of racism of racist behavior, it actually makes them angry towards you. And that's why Obama can't afford to push back. He has to acknowledge and affirm that he's black so as not to alienate black voters, but he can't do it in such a way as to raise anxieties among white voters."

say clinton battling explicit assumptions, obama implicit ones:

"There's a real split here about implicit associations and explicit ones. The efforts to articulate concerns about racism in the way you described are explicit efforts. Look at yourself, think about it, examine the data--that's a deliberative process meant to get people to reason through the problem and confront themselves in a different way. But you can't fight implicit biases with reasoned argument. It's not how they work. They work on an intuitive, affective, emotional level. Pushing back just makes people angry. You don't see that working very well in the research. And it wouldn't work in this campaign either. Instead, the candidates should combat implicit bias implicitly--Hillary has to look like a leader all the time; Obama looks inspirational. You fight fire with fire. "

say the rnc and mccain will avoid race or gender baiting in the election
but depend on ancillary forces to make these attacks, obamas youthful drugs

his patriotism, his pastor, expect these ancillary attacks, expect them to be effective

say it doesnt cost mccain anything to disassociate himself from hussein attacks and
in denying it just further impresses it on the minds of is the dpopulace.

"The other question here is how Obama and Clinton may tear themselves apart heading into the convention and the general election by raising all these questions about each other. They're provoking these implicit biases among the general electorate as we speak--and the Republican Party may not have to do much next fall."

personally i think the superdelegates tod hillary to chill or else
she hant been throwing the kitchen sink lately, having to work thru

ancillary forces like ferraro

now ive pretty much just restated what it said in the article
i cut the excess and tried to cover the salient points

may clean it up, make it mine, may just leave it, acknowledge the steal and
keep on pushing, original article was a mighty fine read

a luta continua

FRIDAY  1120am

didnt do a lick of work yesterday, and morning almost gone still nothing
once i realized im in my endgame i believe it scared me - just flat out scared me,

its like okay, when i finish this one i should have a real novel
after all these years im almost afraid to have no more excuses

so im sitting here at the SACRED DESK about to face the beast one more again
got to go into longhand now, word by word got to move these last 50 pages to higher ground

when you need good rich critical narrative, longhand seems to work best some primal connection w/the hand the mind and the pen, and the slower

pace gives your mind TIME TO PLAY W/THE WORDS as you create them

got some good commentary for you but wont be able
to focus until i see if i get a good days work in

if you hear from me this evening you will know im good to go - clocking pages
IF YOU DONT, MEAN IM STILL RUNNING SCARED

pray for me
rdoc



THURSDAY 330 AM

okay, i figured out why im dragging, its the endgame, last 40 pages or so
all these threads have to be tied up - the novel has to become transcendent

- so many novels fall down in the endgame, this where the rubber meets the road

WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT SOMETHING ONE OF MY COLLEAGUES PAT MOODY ONCE PUT ON MY MIND, I WAS DOING A CLASS FOR ONE OF HER PROJECT ADVANCE SEMINARS AND SAID MY WORK IS FEEL GOOD WORK AND FEEL GOOD DONT GET NO RESPECT IN LITERATURE AND SHE SAID ALMOST ANGRILY I DONT REMEMBER THE EXACT WORDS BUT BASICALLY THAT LITERATURE WAS SUPPOSE TO EXPLORE THE DEEP DARK UNFACEABLE IN THE HUMAN CONDITION AND IT WAS LIKE A REVELATION TO ME, I THINK OF IT WHEN IM WORKING THIS NOVEL NOW -  IM STILL WHO I AM, IM STILL A DELTA SOULDOCTOR AND THIS NOVEL STILL GON BE A HEALING SPELL BUT I GOT TO GET THERE DEEP . . . GOT TO GO DEEP . . . THANKS PAT . . . GOOD LOOKING OUT

just keep pushing rick, inch by inch, step by step, PARAGRAPH BY PARAGRAPH - 4 more days before i have to return to the planet,

been listening to country and western all week - does that
surprise you dear regulators - thats good working music

got to switch to bessie soon, me and terry adkins spose to do a bessie smith performance
collaboration as part of an exhibit he doing at the community folk art center next month

looking forward to that - more time out of my schedule but what can you do - some projects you dont say no to -

okay let me give you some commentary and get back to work
lets look at my beloved kenya:

i am not confident that this deal has solved the problem
the tangled issues of land reform and ethnic redistribution

ARE complicated in that leaders and their families BEEN beneficiaries
of a system that has rewarded government officials and assorted elites

with land taken from the dispossessed since independence, which just
aggravated a legacy of dispossession under british policy during colonialism

we got generations of resentment at play here

neither politician has shown the vision it will take to truly address this problem and
instead of demanding redress aggrieved kenyans have turned on their neighbors

tribalism, land reform and ethnic redistribution are entrenched issues that have not
been addressed by this agreement and as long as they have not kenya will smolder

may the GODS BE
GOOD to her

i find hope in the union of
mark and boke, here i find

BLESSINGS

WEDNESDAY

hello world, been working all morning and coming up with TRASH i just got to accept
and move on - best i can do without stopping my forward motion

okay, todays commentary, lets do this quick:

geraldo say that since obama and deval used the samewords must be some sort of black genius camp where impressive blacks are given marching orders

i wish - mission control indeed

geraldo say it leave a sour note in his throat - sorry about that raldo, weve always had players , just more of them getting thru

what else - check out BOING BOING, interesting techie site, it . . . .
you know, i aint feeling this, maybe later . . .

need to see if i can get me a couple more paragraphs today
for every good page look like i got to clock 20 bad ones

BEST I GET BUSY

if its gotta be knuckleduster then knuckleduster its gotta be

WEDNESDAY

okay, man woodsheds are sheer monotony, you work all day - clock a couple of paragraphs
and you get up the next day and just sit there at the SACRED DESK one more again

clocking paragraphs - if you lucky - i may be mortally bored
but im clocking 6, 9 and 12 hour days - this is a good thing

i be telling my students to use these breaks to clock pages
and they just go out having a good time with their little breaks,

they aint desperate yet - got all the time
in the world

okay, some quick commentary from a desperate man - go endeavour go -
space is the place yall - got to get off the planet

for i would ye be a starfaring race
it is the geas of rickydoc

spitzer on the other hand has crashed and burned - gon give up governorship for reduced charges - unless politicized justice dept decides to stick him like he stuck others

got wallstreet SINGING DINGDONG the wicked witch is dead - hubris of a high order (no condom?) has brought down one wouldbe hero -  nuance another

in the case of general fallon of centcom, it was nuance did him in - last november fallon was in hot water w/bush for telling the egyptians there would be no war w/iran

too many hotspots in the middleeast he say, with "five or six pots boiling over our nation can't afford to be mesmerized by one problem."

got in trouble w/bush when he told the egyptians to chill: "I don't want them to get too spun up," but "washington interprets this as all aimed at them. Instead, it's aimed at governments and media in this region. I'm not talking about the white house."

but like the general who said it will take hundreds of thousands
of troops to pacify iraq, bush dont like generals who speak truth

to the people, congress, their soldiers or anybody else
he prefer lapdogs like powell

yo obama, scoop fallon up w/the quickness
before hillary do - or even worse, john mccain

in the name of the conqueror

TUESDAY

hello dear regulators

obama howling for clinton to  reject and denounce ferraro: this is tacky
forced and petty, catch yourself my brother - get your game on

dont get to wrestling w/pigs
you just get dirty and the pig enjoy it

this what she said:

"if obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. and if he was a woman, he would not be in this position. he happens to be very lucky to be who he is. and the country is caught up in the concept,"

so what man, who cares, you know you got a little something something
that nobody can deny, dont get caught up in the tit for tat

i aint saying dont slap down the strategy, ferraro and the clintons trying to wave the
battleflag of affirmative action in front of resentful workingclass penn whites

note it, counter it, press on - the more of an issue you make it
the more racial it becomes - which is what they want

stay on the highground brother - you probably seen this quote from greg craig
state dept during the clinton admin and now a supporter of barck obama:

greg say she wasnt no player

“she did not sit in on national security council  meetings. she did not have a security clearance. she did not attend meetings in the situation room. she did not manage any part of the national security bureaucracy, nor did she have her own national security staff. she did not do any heavy-lifting with foreign governments, whether they were friendly or not. she never managed a foreign policy crisis, and there is no evidence to suggest that she participated in the decision-making that occurred in connection with any such crisis. as far as the record shows, senator clinton never answered the phone either to make a decision on any pressing national security issue — not at 3 a.m. or at any other time of day.”

==========

now thats tough - that other
thing, that feel kinda petty

MONDAY

so, what do you think about the new graphic lick
just trying something out, SEE IF IT HELP the numbers

probably work against me, like every other
time i deviate from the beaten path

but i do like to play - and i do consider myself an artiste and this a Work of art - so ima play with it awhile, see if it evolve, tried it once before and dropped it - i fear it lacks gravitas

we will see - okay obama has finally shot down the clinton vice president offer for the trash it is

called it the okeydoke - which is what i often call
bushs tactics: trying to hoodwink the people

and the latest from senator monsterspin is to count 3 categories of delegates, pledged, caucus and super

she say because the caucus process is fundamentally undemocratic  - ie not breaking for hillary - the caucus delegates should be

counted as unpledged - this must be some kind of liars primary where you change the rules at whim - one day they will

overplay their hand - the people
or the superdelegates - will say enuf

SATURDAY

hello world, okay just to prove its not obama 24/7
when you got a couple of spare hours check out

the maap site, mapping the african american past - a multimedia
exploration of the history of black manhattan from columbia university,

or if you dont have that kind of discretionary time
and want to knock off something quick and dirty

for wouldbe middleclass memorists who dont feel like
creating their own tale of exotic degradation

23/6 has a memorist kit for you

they also had a cute little bit redpenning sam powers resignation note
behind calling hillary a monster - but it was maybe a little too racy for me

some folk say the monster comment was the obamas camp way of saying it
without actually saying it - a little crossgame in a cynical world

i can relate - i want to go full bore on clinton but i keep
restraining myself, kinda in the same bind obama is in

cant really clock her because i dont want to be
accused of sexism, but being seen as venal

dont seem to faze her at all
i put it 24/6 hit up, i took it down

guess im just going to put the link up
then claim it wasnt me who did it

and look here o man needs to shutdown clintons obama-clinton routine
thats just another uactic to make folk think voting for her gets both

everybody knows bill will be her real #2, possibly her real #1

FRIDAY

hello world, well on to penn, boy obama slipped up and withered
under hillarys negative onslaught, he gon have to unleash his inner

chicago machine pol - and not make stupid mistakes like nafta
how many votes coming in from canada, that was unnecessary hubris

from whats been a tight campaign - cant be stumbling about when
lowblow hillary looking for blood - shes given up contending

on the issues, its strictly tear him down now -

as for the charge obama only winning states that dont count, those are the very states that willbe in contention  - calif and ny aint in contention

hillarys claims to macho experience wont get far against john mccain - obama can go head up over the independents who will decide this race

whats interesting is that desperate republicans have put their maddogs into the kennel
but for democrats look like the politics of personal destruction still getting play

this is a big misread of the national mood - folk tired of it - god, 7 more weeks of it, i cant imagine
and boy obama gon have to punch back, while looking like he aint - this gon get ugly

got rightwingers like rush ecstatic: "look, half the country already hates hillary, but nobody hates obama
yet. hillary is going to be the one to have to bloody him up politically. . . . it's about winning, folks"

boy obama gon have to get tough w/o getting nasty
cant let clinton drag him down to her level

you stay on the highroad dawg
let rickydoc handle the roughstuff

so me and bonnie, we having a political argument right
she says to me, if hillary wins there is no way i will vote for her

not after all that she has done

i been pondering that myself
but i say - unless obama ask us

bonnie say not even then, not after the way shes gone about this
and i say but what if obama ask us to, if obama is willing to

bury the political hatchet i will too - politics
she says no, not even then, ive had it w/hillary

this from somebody who was iffy back at the beginning
about which one she would support/vote for

well i have too i said, nothing but contempt
her and her supporters, nothing but contempt

but if obama does win, i guess its okay for hillarys
folk to sit it out too - to let bush/mccain and

the republicans back in for 8 more years
i cannot contemplate such a thing - 8 more years

of this

just vote, i said, not support, never again - and
only if obama ask us to, sincerely ask us to

she say i will if michelle ask me
i say - deal

in the name of the conductor
mother tubman see us thru

pennsylvania - and look here, no more mr nice blogger
they want knuckleduster then knuckleduster its

gotta be, boy obama want to be president he gon have
to show some steel - if he cant handle lowblow hillary

likely wont be able to handle big dogs on

TUESDAY

hello world, not feeling that magnanimous towards hillary today
clearly she is going to fight on till the last dog dies and it feels

she has roughed boy obama up a little bit lately
(helped by snl and the daily show)

but i should have expected no less i guess, can only hope
obama wins both texas and ohio and stops this farce

the personal ruthlessness of the clinton campaign has soured me
i expect the politics of personal destruction from republicans not democrats,

its like evidence of what obama, and the american
people, would like to leave behind

other day hillary say when asked if barack is muslim, well not to my knowledge

o thats cold, im just tired of it all now and can only hope obama
can hang in there and not get weary, he will have to show some fighting

spirit i guess cause it look like hillary gon keep on coming at him
and i guess thats understandable - im that way myself, wouldnt be a novelist

unless i believed in hammering my head against that wall till something give
15 years i been working on this novel and in my heart i know if necessary

i would give it 15 more - havent done any novelwork in 2 weeks now
me and geo finally finish that application process yesterday but i am

woefully behind in class prep for today, no novel today either
but tomorrow, tomorrow im back in a mini woodshed

so help me god

all my love

MONDAY

hello world, whats the latest
found a cd of mingus piano solos

thats a good thing
last day of initial app readings

thats a good thing
hillary and obama still duking it out

thats bad

and now the clinton campaign say they in it for the
longhaul no matter what happens tomorrow

i can only hope obama wins w/large enuf margins to call this a day
folk try to equate obamas support among white men and hillarys

with white women as evidence of sexism but i think its more that
older whitewomen are her most dedicated base -

if she wasnt their great hope she would have been cut loose by everybody
by now - but they feel about hillary the way i feel about obama

do or die - if he makes mistakes he makes mistakes but i believe in him and im
with him irregardless - i have faith he will grow into the role

and i feel sorry for hillarys supporters, i understand their pain

be nice to have a woman president, just wont be hillary, not this time - like jessie and
al, perhaps hillary is just not the one - and her campaign excesses remind us why

or maybe she just ran up on one of those once in a political lifetime phenoms - obama
thats the breaks - politicians have to be just as capable of losing as they are winning, kinda like

your books going out of print, comes with the territory, got to take
the good with the bad - huffington post this morning say hillary campaign

is running on magical thinking, if they say it hard enuf, believe it hard enuf
their version of reality is the reality - problem w/magical thinking is that it

at its best, it has to have some connection, no matter how tenuous, with reality
that has not been the case w/the clinton spin machine, they operate in that

oldschool bush mode, who you gon believe, me or your lying eyes
and they real quick to call people deluded fools - o the real side

the only question left is will hillary go out gracefully or hand to hand
based on what weve seen i fear hand to hand - theyve already started spinning

ohio and texas - if obama doesnt win big it means democrats are reconsidering

i can only hope obama wins big enuf to put this puppy to bed
ima burn a candle

and regarding hillarys latest salvo evoking the bomb and the red telephone
ima quote from an earlier bill clinton: the pre fairytale 1992 bill clinton: the man from hope:

"If one candidate is trying to scare you, and the other one is trying to make you think, if one candidate's appealing to your fears, and the other one's appealing to your hopes, you better vote for the person who wants you to think and hope."
