and the insomnia continues�

5 motha freeking holy what the gosh darn hell am I doing up at this hour � A.M.? You�d think I was Uncle Bob.

I don�t know what the fuck is up with me, but it�s starting to make me fucking cranky as hell. It might be the cold medicine, but I don�t know. Fuck it. I�d like a good night sleep once this weekend and I�m going to get it if I have to check myself into the Biltmore.

That's a local hotel btw, and could I possibly say fuck one more time?

Have I ever mentioned I�m a bastard when I�m tired and I first wake up?

So� last night was fun. I lost, but not by much � 2.1 points after 5 rounds. Actually it depends how you look at it. I took the first two rounds, Tony took the second two rounds, and the last round we both should have been disqualified because we secretly swapped poems with each other and read each other�s pieces instead of our own. Yes, it was our own little anarchistic exercise in fun.

Errrr

Whatever, it was fun.

I performed:
� Why Pentagon Toilet seats cost 400 a piece (Ha! You didn�t know that was a poem did you? Suckaas)
� Wolves
� I got the Blues
� This is not a Love Poem
and ended with Tony Brown�s �Thank God for the Scientific Method�

On Tony�s last time up, he performed my poem �Seriously Ya�ll Stop Being Short�

Yes, it realy was a fun night � Tony and I always put on a good show together � AND I made Fourteen Dollars!!

If performance poetry was ever about the money, we�d have no verse in the universe.

YEP, we�d be living in the Uni.

Wow, I should get up this early all the time, my humor is even working in Latin.

Errr�no. I'm not funny at all at 5am - AM I?

So in an HOUR I have to take a shower, head to work because I left in my cube the Special Company Shirt I'm required to wear and then drive 45 minutes to the Special Olympics site�

AND OF COURSE it�s raining, so we will all be crowded in a giant sweaty muggy ass tent.

BUT it�s for a good cause and I bet I�m going to enjoy myself because I�ll be helping other�s to enjoy themselves while feeling proud at the same time and sometimes, sleep or not, that�s what it�s all about.

�What's it all about?�

�It's about it not being about you. It�s about helping others and enjoying helping others because being nice is nice!�

�Get some sleep dude�

�fuck you I am not your dude!�

Damnit I think I owe Gary Hoare five bucks.
