So, I figured 4 months was a decent amount of time to not update my Xanga, and I better do it now before I lose all interest completely. School is amazing as usual, this past weekend I had the immense pleasure (maybe/not really) of going to a poetry recitation at a local cafe here. I didn't go on my own, but was forced to go by my English teacher, who is convinced she is the person solely responsible for forming "well- rounded literary individuals". So I went on Sunday, and watched what I can only classify as a freak show. These people got up there and screamed about everything. The weather, women, "blades", children, old people, witch doctors, relationships and dirt. My favorite performance however was "Casper" who got up on stage and started doing some weird ass jujitsu/karate/yoga/ballet/robot dance. In between crazy body movements, he would scream something, just anything I think, nothing that had any meaning. "Red, blue, green, black. these are the colors of Honda Civics". And things like that. Then he screamed that poetry has turned into performance and everyone was fake, no meaning in the words, only words to draw attention to the performer. Then he said "I don't know if I can come anymore" Please don't. I may have laughed at him, which looking back was a mistake. I thought he was going to jump off the stage and choke me. I went with Carrie and Ryan, who laughed too, but apparently it wasn't funny, because no one else laughed. They shook their heads as if to say "Yes brother, tell it like it is". No, please don't. I wrote a paper on it.....Did I like it? Would I go back? What did I learn? ......No I didn't, Not in a million years, and Fake poets are CRAZY.
More later, I have 4 hours of accounting now.
