So i know im an adult now. I filed and did my taxes all on my own.Yep thats the sound of doom, a check in the mail. Other than that i had amajor panic attack. I went to my slam only to find that my book had fallen out of the pack pack : heart attack: so i ran 1.5 miles uphill doing a sweeping search retracing my route all the way to my room where i had given up hope of ever finding it again only to find out it had fallen out pretty much as soon as i had put the pack on. so i ran another 1.5 miles down hill to the slam. Grimy tired sweaty, I won, 3rd time champ with poems i didnt feel great about but there you have it, tough judging tonight too. But it wasnt about the points, it was about the poetry. I have such admiration to my fellows who competed and knowingly went over the time limit sacrificing their score, or those whos poems only fille 30 seconds. Because those were the words they wanted heard, those were the poems they chose.
Sarah was there, and i got to share one of my little special places with her.
btw i will over the next couple of days be transfering my entire body of work onto the computer so if you want a copy let me know
