I won 3rd in that poetry thing.
50 fuckin dollars baby!
Thank you to everybody. You all advised me to submit the 1st one. You were all right.
It was really funny. On thursday, all of us who won read our poems at this thing. And the guy who won 2nd read right before me. He had written this million page poem.
It was funny because it was like we had both written poems about the same misunderstood girl. Except, he was writing this epic love song to her, that was actually quite eloquent. But then I got up on stage and just destroyed his whole self-indulgent nobody-understands-me vibe.
Cause I'm fuckin cool.
I kind of wonder if the people in charge did that on purpose.
Anyway, it occured to me that I could have won 1st place if I had instead submitted this note, which has been hanging on Nate's fridge for the last couple weeks.
(Me and Nate are roomies now.)
Shadrak left this on the fridge after having slept over here for a few days:
