Something New

So I want to give a try a writing poetry...it's not much, but I kind of like where it's going. Also, it's a spoken word, so that's why the lines are kind of screwy.




My Room

Sometimes, when I'm in class
sitting at that desk
writing Sublime lyrics in my notebook
I want to go to my room

Not my dorm room
Not my bedroom
not my boyfriends bedroom,
er....I mean his mom's basement

No, I wanna go to MY room

My room is big and small
My room fits any where I fit
But I don't always fit in my room..

My rooms walls change colors
they change with my presence
my walls are hippie mood walls

My room has shelves everywhere
And they are filled with blue glass bottles

Some of the bottles are beautiful
with frosted glass
and silver bobbles around the necks
I like those bottles

But a lot more of them are dark
and the glass bubbles
and is twisted and gnarled
like dead hanging trees

Some I want to break
So I never have to see them again

I just wish that more of them would be...
easier to look at.





Comment please.

Pardon Me, Give Me My Respect, and Keep it all in Fun -or- I Would Never Trade the Way I am for the Way I'm Not

Classes are going well. I haven't missed a single one yet, and I don't think I'll be skipping any any time soon. So far my favorite class seems to be my Professional Selling class. My teacher for that is amazingly awesome, and I love to sell things so it's pretty much perfect. My US History class is also pretty cool. My teacher, Dr. Harmon, is so cool. He teaches History differently then most teach, so it's easier to learn. Also, he's an awesome individual. He has a really cool sense of humor to. Also, he keeps us updated on whats going on with his court case against the college. Come to find out, Dr. Harmon is trying to sign his Partner up on to his health insurance through the college. FLCC however is being a prick and not letting him add him even though they were legally married in Massachusetts a few years ago. It's crazy because FLCC's lawyers are saying now that to be elegeble they need to go and get married again. So Doc is going in a few weekends with his partner to get marred again.

I've been listening to a different style of music then I normally do lately. It started when I went to a poetry out loud thing by this guy named Buddy Wakefield. I love his poetry, it's just so amazing. I bought his book that day to, and he signed it for me. It helped me think clearer when I heard him, when I saw his raw energy, how much he believed in his beliefs and his clarity of mind, it just helped me see things a bit clearer. I guess you could say that some more of the rose has come out of my glasses. He mentioned the name of an artist while he was up there to, called Sage Francis. I looked him up that night and I'll be damned I loved what I heard. Sage Francis' work is a kind of stylized and beautifully crafted rap for the people. I love it all. And then I started searching for more artists like him. I've found Atmosphere, Illogic, Blackaliciouse and Brother Ali. Honestly, even if you don't like rap, give them a listen with an open mind, actually listen to the lyrics, and I think you'll enjoy what you hear.

Not much else is going on, or at least nothing that I want to talk about on a blog. I am working on some art rite now and when It's done I'm going to post them on my art blog http://www.chopsticksandporn.blogspot.com/ as always. So please, give it a look, and as always, have a wonderful day, a wonderful month, and a wonderful life.
