so my boy daniel has been sending me links to slam poetry, and i've been watching them mostly because i'm getting burnt out on rap. I think i need a break from it. I guess it's like methadone for heroine addicts.
i had just finished cooking dinner for the next couple of nights. I made bulgogi fried rice. I came back to the computer, expecting more stuff from a guy named Lemon. Lemon is badass in his own right, and you should youtube him. He asked me if i had heard of this guy named Rives (pronounced Reeves), and I hadn't, so he sent me this.
I dont know what exactly it was. I don't know if its just.. because i feel like i've fallen off or i'm drowning or something. That or maybe ive been on this quest to find something beautiful in life that will move me. That or maybe I didnt expect deaf people to write incredible poetry. Maybe it was the combination of sign language, which was foreign to me, followed by an interpretation that added meaning. Either way, this is easily the most beautiful thing i've seen in years, and i cried over it. I've never cried from something being so beautiful, but today i did. I watched it twice because i had nothing to say. Maybe it wont do anything for you, but i guess I felt like i finally found something that i've been looking long and hard for.
