I didn't enjoy Judging as much as I thought I would. I secretly wanted to judge a slam for a while now, but it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. I think I could do it better if I didn't know anybody. I was a Judge. I didn't like the fact that someone came to the slam and slammed a piece that has be performed a million times before. Just because I haven't heard it doesn't mean I don't know new from Bullshit. Dude I seriously thought she sucked major ass. The bad part is that she came from whereever the fuck Florida, expecting to impress people in NY while doing a micro-machine commercial, too political rants. She didn't put herself in that poem. Nothing about her, or her feeling, or her reaction to the politics. She was just stating facts. Saying one pop-slam poetry word after another. I had a checklist out and I am sure she missed gentrification.
The freestyle was not a poem. I know why I sucked when I freestyled, and OB, I think it was cute but it wasn't a poem. Furthermore I must judge on a curve, if I liked other poems better then I couldn't match their score. I didn't like her. The other girl I liked. I saw a lot in her work. I didn't like the first erotica type poem she read too much, but that is just because erotica is not an easy subject to write about. I felt too many cliches in that poem but the other two were hot. Really were. Cirelli and Roger were hot but they usually are. I think I might have scored Cirelli a bit low in his first poem but he was first. I think about it now and it means so much more than I scored. Raj has contents that I like. I don't dig his rhyming too much but I don't know how to rhyme myself so hey.?.
Anyway I still enjoyed the evening and I did like off-season slam. I think its more about the work and fun than competition. I dig the theme slam too. Especially the new shit slam, I really dig. It brings out the best in some. Or that's just what I think about it.

I had fun yesterday. I enjoyed the ride home, because I took half of it with Jess, and the other half with my Sidekick. I love reading off of my sidekick and I don't think I will be using paper on stage until I want to. Sorry fish but it is so so convenient. I love it. Oh and I am not a Doorman. Well on the weekends I am a doorman for two hours a day. I do that while the doormen are at lunch. I also sub for some if they can't make it but I don't wear the white shirt and tie, I wear the Porter uniform. That is only my weekend job, I have a job during the week too man. In an office, and I have a desk, and pens and stuff. You know I am totally corporate. I didn't get angry Fish, it sort-a felt good being picked on from the stage. To a certain extent, ya know. Makes me feel popular.

I love the end credits of the Chapelle show where the last production plug is accompanied by Dave saying "I'm rich Bitch".
I like him, he is cool.
He ruined every little John song for the rest of my life, but it is worth the laugh.

I smoked a shity cigar yesterday. Oh well some are good and some are crap. That one was pure crap... Maybe I will have a better one later.

Enough?
