About me: To most I am known as the creator of the notorious "Teenage Opera" and other music gems that are so ancient by now that the kids featured on the infamous "Grocer Jack" single are now grandmothers. So sad, too bad, because it's sorta like Edison being known to most only for having invented the light bulb. In other words, there's lots more. Lots of lots... If you're interested, or plain curious, come and visit my website at www.markwirtz.com for not just a bunch of hype and bullshit about the old stuff, but also some cool NEW stuff, like clips and picts and bytes and graphics and, well, you know -- stuff. C ya there! :)

Luv ya!
Cheers,

MUSE ON THE ROCKS

MUSE ON THE ROCKS
(COMPLETE AND UTTER RUBBISH)

The runner was in a hurry
as a prayer believed in itself
as the beginning set sails for infinity
and the book put itself on the shelf

Its mysterious plot had been raped by a missing page
that its author had torn to shreds
in a devastating fit of the blues
when his bi-polar wife left the nest

to bed his agent on Valentine's Day
in a haze of perfume and pretense
while the scribe's raging fury began to broil
the flesh of his vain

Personally, I'm so maxed out on multitasking, the only thing I'm getting done these days is absolutely nothing! And I can't even get THAT right!!


I think I'm gonna get me an INTERN! You know, somebody I can multitask the shit out of and work to death, without having t

ODE TO FLOOZIE

Got me a GPS for Christmas. About time, because I do a lot of driving to strange places, and if there is a way to get lost, I will find it!



Google maps are sorta kinda OK, but they're worth shit in the dark, and they don't talk to me. Not like my GPS, which I have named Floozie. And Google maps don't put me back on the right track like Floozie does when I miss a turn, or exit, or on-ramp.


Floozie certainly knows a lot. She's a mobile unit, so I tested her in my home to find

Scribblers’ Retreat is a non-profit organization established with the goal of reaching writers of all ages; to inspire and promote their hidden gifts and talents.
By involving the local community, authors, publishers, editors, journalists and all forms of the literary world, we are opening their minds and bringing hope where there was doubt.
Scribblers’ Retreat is not the typical classroom setting. It was designed to bring world-class authors, literature professors, editors, journalists, illustrators, photo journalists, proofreaders, publishers, publicists, screenplay writers, and website/graphic designers, etc. one-on-one with young and old alike. It is the opportunity of a lifetime for someone who has had a manuscript in a desk drawer for 40 years or who has an outstanding poem that simply must be read.
