Updates.....

Thank You, to the Creator....for giving me another day!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since nationals, i have been pretty busy......working!! it so sucks.

so, i have a new tattoo and new piercing (pics coming soon). see, these are the things that happen, when your next door neighbor is a tattoo artist/piercer. this might be my last piercing but its NOT my last tattoo....i want to get my entire right arm done, my back and maybe one leg. i just have to find a way to make the tat's flow together.....

as much as i like the dude next door, there is a tattoo artist in Atlanta that gives me goose bumps! his name is Miya Bailey, and the dude is FIYAH!! how hot is the brother, well...he is booked up till 09. peep his myspace page and see why, im trying to get to the ATL for my Earth Day. LOOK AT WHAT HE DOES WITH COLOR ON DARK SKIN...its going to cost some money for him to do the work....but im sure it will be well worth it!!

im tryin to catch up with my three favorite tatted up poets....Marc Marcell, Asia and L.I.F.E., they have some serious work.

somewhere, i have to get POET or SPOKEN WORD ARTIST tatted...i just dont know where.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

oh yea, my main pic was taken by Black Atticus during Southern Fried. we took a picture of the other taking a picture...the shit was funny.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Got to see Ruthie Foster in concert.....she was dope. if you get a chance, go see the sister, she will blow your socks off!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are slowly rebuilding the St.Louis Poetry Slam scene....i hope we can get it back to where it once was.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Going to Omaha in Sept, for my first big slam. there are some heavy hitters in the field but im not scared. i see it this way; "to be one of the best, you have to slam against some of the best." plus it will be fun to just hangout with the poets.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Big Ups: Taz, Andrea, Chris Imperial, Mo-Man, Karen G and the St. Louis Poetry Slam Team....for the continous love since Nationals has been over.

Can you believe i STILL have pictures to post?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Im embracing the whole 'picture poet' concept.....see, these arent just pictures to me, i try to capture the emotions of the poets when performing. that way, it will come across to someone looking at the picture. sometimes i get that perfect shot, sometimes i dont.

i so love doing it......

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i didnt want to put this in the air but........Obama, just might win the election.

i enjoyed how the Democratic Party, took the high road when dealing with McCain. they made key points on McCains weakness on various issues...making them with class. there was none of the normal B.S. just straight to the point..body blows!!

Go Obama....its time for a change.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, thats it for now.....everyone be peaceful.
