Never been so glad to be THIRD!!!

So this is exciting. I guess I will give you some background for all of the one person that reads this blog. Every year instead of making resolutions I have themes. My theme for 08 was emancipate in 08. I really liked this theme because it could encompass what ever facet of your life you want it to from finances to love. So for one of the items on the to do list for emancipation was read at an open mic. I have been going to open mics since my freshman year of college 1000 years ago. I love them, the vibe always makes me feel better, I never regret going, I can't get enough. I will say something positive about KC(REMEMBER THIS). They have some really talented poets here and the poetry scene is pretty good, the teenagers in KC are literally out of this world. So anyway since I am about to leave today was my last open mic in KC, so I went thinking maybe I would do one but probably not. I had already decided on an extremely short one to ease me in. So I did it, palms sweating I signed my name to the list and then waited rating how my poem would compare to the rest before me, sad I waited so long to sign up and would be one of the last to go. Then my name was called and I got up there and told them about my yearly themes and why I was there and how what they do has really uplifted me when I needed it. I tell them that my poem is super short. Then I go I look into the mic and say 18 words. Thirty minutes later my name is getting called for 3rd place. WHAT!!! I was like.... ME? And as I was waiting to collect my little 25 dollars people were coming up to me telling me how my poem was so good. One lady was like it almost made me cry which was touching but I though it would take you longer to form a tear than the poem actually was. Poets that have almost brought me to tears on many occasions complimented my brief profoundness. So for the one reader I am going to post my winning piece.

How can I forget him
If when I close my eyes
The darkness reminds me of his skin

Moral:
Set goals and complete them you may get out more than you expect
God always provides you with a blessing from the pain you go through
(the inspiration of the poem has brought so much drama to my life but tonight brought me 25$)

OUT!

You too can be Vice President!!!!

So of course I just watched the Vice Presidential debate. I am now listening to the feedback and people are really giving her credit for not royally screwing up. IS THAT ALL IT TAKES to be VP just not F&*# up to have a good debate. That Alaskan heffa didn't answer one question. Sometimes I wondered if she even heard the questions being ask. Not only that but she was clearly reading answers off her little paper, and trying to locate her probably color coded speaking points while Biden was speaking. I'm sorry America, but hell, the girl is Governor so she cant be a complete idiot. So the fact that she can read and memorize talking points isn't good enough for me. When McCain kicks the bucket she will be the president. She gave no facts!!!!!!! I have no idea about any concrete plans on the McCain ticket. And you know what Neither does SHE!!!!!! Biden killed her on Foreign Policy. She gave no specifics and he played her ass about the definition of the VP. Anyway America, while love her style (those suits are fly) Palin knows less than I do about anything except Alaska and I don't think I am qualified to be VP. So Sarah between now and November I want you to practice on answering a question and getting a clue.
