patron saint of saturdays and checklists
(another phone pic (albeit sideways)...)
last night we watched a good percentage of the opening ceremonies. what followed, as i slept, were some of the weirdest dreams ever. one forced me to wake up and try my hardest to stay awake so that i wouldn't fall back into dreaming the same dream. i'm finding it hard to not blame canada for this... also, spoken word poetry or whatever it's called...i don't like it. will you still like me? i hope so... i just can't get into someone acting like their words are so important that they need to dramatically read them to me. do you know what i mean?
and it partly sounds like rapping. and it's usually like a white guy doing it so...it doesn't quite jive. (ya dig? oh, i crack myself up..) i don't know. i love words. mostly other people's words. and sometimes my own words but only like years after i've written them. and sometimes i read them and i'm like, did i seriously write this? and how can i do that again? but i would rather give up an important body part than get up on stage and act like my words are worth anyone's time.
tell me how you feel about this. dramatic poetry readings. i need opinions :)

I love poetry that speaks to you. Without dramatization, or over bearing acting. Something simple that flows and you just get that feeling, one that inspires you, motivates you, gives you a glimmer of hope, etc.
