Louder Than A Bomb is the largest youth poetry slam festival... In the world. It also happens to be one of the greatest experiences of my life. Co-founded by a man with whom I spent a week-long workshop with, Kevin Coval, Louder Than A Bomb unites Chicagoland middle school, high school, and college students for a few weeks at the begining of March. Crossing The Street is the kick-off to LTAB, where all the schools meet under one roof in the south side and watch guest poets perform, meet new people, and write a group piece with strangers. Later, when I posted pictures from the events, I had people I hadn't even met adding me on Facebook just because I was a part of LTAB. It was great. Writing with these four strangers... Was incredible. Our prompt was our town. I wrote about how my suburbia was clean-cut, and then you had another girl's suburbia about drinking in warehouses, and then there was someone talking about teen pregnancy in her neighborhood, and a powerful girl who spoke of time stopping so that she couldn't hear gunshots. It was beautiful.

Here's a snipet from my on-spot poem:
[Town Name] was created from boxes stacked on upon boxes full of lawyers and doctors. The doctors could repair your spine but never give you one...We were force-fed church doctrines, math equations, ethics, and history - the study of a culture we could never have because boxes are square and perfect, but humans aren't shapes. We're feelings, and eyes, and hearts, and hands, and neurons, and neurosis, and anything but symmetric.

the moment a character solves a mystery is the glorifying moment of the book, in many ways its the saddest peice because now wheres the anticipation to solve, wheres the motive that kept the book alive? and yet, now the anticipation is turned into satisfaction, and that yearning in your stomach is eased. its like a miracle, swilrls of color finally clear to form one detailed picture of the answer, the answer to all those vague questions!

i used the prompt from here

is there a simple way to simplify?

i have this dream of me becoming someone really desired, talent wise.
i hope that one day all my dreams will come true and that lifes rough times will ignore me. but i know im nothing special in this world of specail people. i want to be an artist, inspiration, and i want it to be known.
people should come to my page and want to have the creativity of someone like me, someone who isnt that special in this world.

but bad things do happen, and sometimes people don't reach there dreams. sometimes people with straight A's and perfect records don't get into Harvard. trying to come to the terms that bad things don't discriminate has been one of the hardest realizations i have yet to grasp. So for someone with not so perfect grades, and not always there motivation, how can i make it. how can i separate myself from the rest. How will my art inspire you.

According to Sigmund Freud, dreams are wishes. He gives examples of this by recalling a girl who wanted to sail longer and cried when her parents told her she had to go home, yet later dreamed that she was sailing. This symoblizes how she wished to keep on sailing. Freud later goes on to say that sometimes dreams can be distorted, so that the wish isn't always clear as it usually is in the dreams of children. So tell me, Freud, when I dream of an epidemic killing the nation, going up to the boy I yearn for and spilling my guts, and holding him in my arms and kissing his hair until he died of whatever disease was sweeping the nation... Am I supposed to believe that I wanted to hold him, or I wanted him to die? Thank you, Siggy, for confusing me further. And you're supposed to be the great modernist psycho-analyst? Poo upon you.

Ive started taking an interest in Japanese fashion and i was serching through some websites and i came across this adorable girl wearing something that wouldnt be considered "absurd" to wear in America. As we all know some fashion trends in Japan are a little bit out there, such as Lolita. I totally wish i could wear some of that kind of clothes in my everyday life! gahhh that would pretty crazy if i saw some chick walking down the street with a million bows on her head and head to toe "cute"ness

ahh
