Monday Night Raw

“....Guess que lo está en ahora....” - The Sod


Once again I rode solo. I thought about alot on the way this time. I looked at my phone and noticed that I had a missed call and pulled over to check it. I had no time to call it back. Sign ups were at 730 and I got on the highway at around 710. I checked my pocket for my work and realized that I wasn't reading this time. I was reciting. I went over my piece line for line as I turned down Sam Cooke singing something about Cupid. I wanted to shoot his ass myself, my heart wasn't on point.

When I got there, I took a pass on the BEz drink and instead settled for a bottled water. I went outside and noticed the good luck and have fun on my message screen. I closed my eyes and imagined myself looking at the stage and seeing this person, I did that on the regular just to take the edge off. Made it feel like I was only talking to one person instead of a crowd. My vision was rocked though because all I kept seeing was a chair with no one in it. I couldn't focus, I had too much going on. I thought about taking my name off of the list. Instead I made my way back inside. Mind Evolution took the stage and killed it. I figured as much seeing that it was her spot. I noticed though none of the other cats I met at the last spot were there. I listened to Plus1, Stylez, and Emcee Eternal rock for awhile and a woman named Grace showed us just how amazing she was when she rolled an el while she did a poem on the dangers of smoking weed. Funny as hell.

When it was my turn to rock I was introduced with "Reunited" by the Wu Tang Clan. As I approached the mic, the violin in the song sent a shock through me, this warm rush flowed through me and the poem was in big letters in my head. I nodded hard to the shit... I took the mic and closed my eyes....

...the little big man is not a gangsta......

and when I opened them, there was the chair and there was someone in it this time. I read the words in my head and lost myself in the motion of the delivery. I gave them every inch of myself and didn't care. The energy was crazy going through it. By the end, I was catching claps and I still had 5 lines left. I finished with a pretty good applause. ME* came up and said I am gonna feature soon enough, sent me a text from Concious who told me he was sorry he couldn't be there. Invited me to the Poetz Realm on the 12th to get down. All the way in Bridgeport??? Sheeeit, that's a hike, but the BluNote made it to the Bean so I guess I could. First though, it's the Love Jones Cafe on this Wednesday....maybe I should bring the adult content this trip who knows?

So the month is pretty boo--wait, almost forgot have visit with doctor on thursday. With the swelling down and the pop and lock not there I just might earn myself a discharge, considering I don't really need a cane no more we'll see. After all it is the 2nd opinion and that's the last, I just keep my faith with it and move.

guess it's on now...
