Watsky

i started writing about 4 months ago now. i mean really writing. not assigned school stuff, or "dear diary, guess what happened to me today" shit. i guess in a way it was my way of getting stuff out in my own kind of twisted "dear diary" way.

i suppose it started when i found this guy, george watsky. i dont mean i *found him* like finding jesus or something. i mean, i was just bored one night so i youtubed local poets, and he showed up. i've been kind of in awe with slam poetry ever since. not simply because they go up on stage without a clue of what the next line will be, just making it up on the spot, but because they are SO honest. people say that lyricists are honest and say the words we the listeners are too scared to say out loud. and i guess that's true to a certain point of some lyric writers. but so many of them now just write inside the box of relationship-troubles, i'm-in-love-with-you, partying, whatever lyrics. seriously, if i hear another line in a song about how "my heart is yours" or some shit like that i'll scream. would it kill people to be original and out of the box?!

anyway, back to george. he wrote this poem called the "V club" i think it's called? but it's basically about how he was a loser virgin in high school, but he didnt care. that it made him who he is today, and how even though no girl wanted to sleep with him or date him he still felt sexy and being true to himself. i mean, seriously!? i know tones of guys like that, but not many who would admit to it. it takes serious balls to write the truth. i guess that was my point. i get side tracked easily. like "hey, so there's this awesome poet who is amazing. check it ou..... ooooh! bunny!!!" it's a little ridiculous. whatever.

that's it for now. check him out. seriously. he's amazing. talks a little funny, but you'll get used to it...

out.
