STAGED GOAL...

Like many people I'm about to take a second and use this blog as a quick diary. At the beginning of the year I set several goals. I don't quite remember what all them were but one was to get on stage and recite a poem. Well...

Tonight, July 23,2009, I got on stage and recited my poem titled "Love." It was my first time ever going on stage. I was nervous. I did not know what the crowd would think of the poem. When my name was called to go on stage I started to feel colder. I knew everyone could tell I was nervous, so when I got on stage I told them not to pay attention to my nervous. Just listen to the words and they did just that. I heard people shaking their shakers during certain words I said and I heard the shakers as I walked off stage. This meant that they loved my poem. After the show was over someone came to me and told me they really liked my poem. I felt great because I knew I had accomplished something and someone had liked it. It was only my first time so I'm still not as good as some of the poets that get on stage every week but I hope to get to their level one day. Actually I'm thinking about getting on the stage again next Thursday.

I have a section on this blog titled "Without The." So far I have put great things about the Internet on it, but getting on stage and reciting poetry could just be the next addiction I talk about...
