Out of the confusion and quagmire of my everyday life, an angel took hold of me and whispered into my ear the words which she wished inked...
I rose up from the darkness without you.
My Amerika.
I took these very words, twisting them, churning them, spitting out something which could be called beautiful...
$35 later, I find myself standing on stage, bellowing out the very creation I had birthed a mere 3 hours earlier.
My cherry was popped, I was no longer a virgin poet, standing nervously in the limelight, ranting out emotional pieces of constipated thought... I no longer have justification of flinging poo at the crowd.
But on to the good stuff.
It was the most fabulous event, 12 contestants, some I have met before, several I had not. I was honoured to be surrouned by such talent the last two nights, it was most surreal and fascinating.
I must extend much thanks to the following poets, for I was extremely honoured to have even been in their presence, much less compete along side them.. In no particular order
-Joaquin (Who placed first) artspeaks@hotmail.com
-IQ (3rd)
-Mo-man and Crisis poetryinthestreets@hotmail.com
-Marc "SO WHAT" Smith (Yes, the fucking man himself) www.slampapi.com
-Among several others whoms names are fleeting at 3 AM.
Marc, damn man... You invented this shit, how'd you do it??? To shake your hand, it's like shaking the hand of a great ba... wait.. It is shaking the hand of a great bard, it compares to shaking hands with Homer and Shakespeare. To have you pop my cherry... That's like having sex for your first time with Aphrodites herself. I am so deeply honoured, and you handing me your tome, signing it... I'm humbled. And yeah, I did go on after that mic stopped working, cause as you said, I had something to say. Thank you Marc "SO WHAT" Smith
Mo-man... You're my long lost poetic brother, bigger of course. I love ya man, keep it rolling out. You and Crisis rock my grey matter.
Joaquin... This doesn't go out to you.. No, this is a thank you to the State of Texas for the atomic wedgies and noogies you received. This thank you letter goes out to the mothers and fathers that come into your class, glaring at you because they don't understand. This is a thank you that goes out to the Nascar fans that mute the commercials of the African town.
Now this is for you. You inspire me, I regret not having a teacher like you. All too often someone comes along, that you'll never know. Joaquin, you're a damn good teacher, despite what any redneck mother says.
This goes out to Trey,
who is openly gay,
living in Texas this way,
From day to day...
Jon rebuilds radios
He likes the way the static feels in his hands...
Jon is deaf, he sits in Mr.Zihautanejo's class, the bard of the most beautiful words.
Colton, who sits in the back of his class, draped in black, always watching, seen only by those whom matter. Must be a blessed life, being able to avoid those whom just don't care anyway.
This goes out to the people of Africa... Where as Joaquin says, "In Africa, they plant children into the ground and grow Angels... It happens, everyday." And damn it, I don't know if you'll read this or not, but because I care anyway... The Hokey Pokey is what it's all about.

Chapter Renovation
Every once in a great while, when we're down but we've been giving it everything we've got to keep going, something will happen in our lives to turn it around... Or we think it's the thing that's going to turn it around. A lot of you have known about my recent raise/job promotion. I was so sure that this was the first break in a series, but it was the big one that I had been trudging on for. Now, I don't believe it was. I believe it was a break, and a good one, but not THE "ONE". No, I believe that one came a few days ago. An offer so profound that I had to take it. Something so sure and stable and secure, in this rather clumsy world we're in
New Deviant!
Lo' dedicated readers of my blog... how few of you there are. I'd like to take this moment to let you guys know that my best friend has finally caved and got herself a DevArt page. :D She's a splendid photographer, so you all should run along and check her out @ ~kethry-silverwolf (https://www.deviantart.com/kethry-silverwolf)
Devious Journal Entry
Yay! Some pictures! OMG! HOORAY! Mwahahahaha!
These are from my trip to Ireland.. I have oodles of them, not all of them are great. I have some other pictures that I'd like to post... but something everyone should know. My camera broke. The entirety of the trip I used someone else's camera, which I -hated-.
I plan on changing this issue in the future, but it'll require money, which I have none at the moment.
If you're wondering why you got a mass amount of favs from me... I had like 1200 deviations to go through. ;) I'm going to try to keep more on top of this in the future. Maybe take a day of the week and make it me "DeviantArt day?" I u
