Wow, I am super tired. I just had five shots which I haven't done in a long time and I am still super tired. Last night my cousin Sarah came to 13 for the first time and convinced me to go to Star Wars after. Oscar thanks for telling me that it sucked. When I expect a movie to suck I lower expectations all the way. I just expect to see a blank screen for two hours. So anything else is better. It wasn't Glitter. As long as it wasn't Glitter it can't be that bad. So I took the cue from prior movies and I knew they had an incredible story line that they rushed. Maybe the desire to make these movies a certain length, maybe the desire to make only three movies, but the plot in this third movie revenge of the sist(sith), is great but feels rushed. Like Anikin became Vader over night or something. I guess it was a difficult transition to depict but I still think they could've had a better segway. It was just that very last moment. When he went from jedi to sith. That very last moment was too quick. Then he found out that his visions were exactly because he worked so hard to stop them. Should've listened to Yoda.

Anyway I got out of the theater at about 1:45am and I am walking dead right now.

The uppercase is by far my favorite Louder Format. Uppercasers are always super brilliant because it is more of a celebration than a feature. It was for me. You work super hard for that, preparing, editing, performing, everything.
Raj, Kyra, Elijah, were all super dope ass rock stars. Kyra performed in ways that I've never seen her perform, with pace and pause that blew me away. Poems that I've heard her do a hundred times, felt like first experience.
Raj only did one peom that he'd done before, then my man had all new, all edited, all memorized shit. How the fuck does someone pull that off. Honestly though, how many people thought I was a drunkard fucking with the poet on stage?

Let me say about me last night. I felt incredible. First group effort ever, first duo, and I was shook nervous with knocky knees, and butterflies. I memorized it that day, and then when I tried to go through it with Raj I completly fucked it up and took up the cheat sheet as a crutch. If you noticed I took up the cheat sheet and held it in my hand. I think I absorbed the words because I didn't have to look at it once. It was an experience. It felt the high of my first performance, my first off page performance and my first ten in a slam all balled into one high. Raj and I are going to have to take our act on the road. I see big things coming out of that piece.
Maybe that is a bit too much but hey, a boy can dream right.

This last weekend was crazy sexy dopeass, and I am sorry that I missed Maria's dinner. The Friday party was the best for the warren comission thus far.
Bartending is fun, tips are great as well.

I am getting back to normal with everything and I feel okay. I have an upcoming photo session with a dope ass artist and I am excited.

Oh if anyone has access to a van, please email me.

Con tato, Chevere nice, Te gusto?
