Hey all, how r ya doin? Cool? Cool. Me? Oh, I’m swell. Had a nice weekend. Saw Barbershop 2, which was cool. Also saw the Poemcees and Psalmayene 24 do their thing @ the warehouse next door on Saturday. Dopeness. Truly. Also, officially met Ms. Bassey Ikpi. Thought that was hella cool, seeing as tho’ she and Drew were the ones who inspired me to do the personal journal in the first place. Had it not been for those two, I’d just be doing occasional entries on illpoets.com. So, I found it awkward that I couldn’t find anything interesting to rant about while she was there. I felt like I was part fan, part supporter, part poetic politiker. Weird moment, but still really happy to finally have met her.
Patrick & DP rock! Those two, and Rhome are frickin’ comedians. Stage show is truly original. Because I see DP less than I do Patrick, I tend to forget how nice that cat is. Oh, Psalm’s joint was even iller the second time I saw it! Free Jujube Brown is incredible. Smaller audiences are sometimes better for the thespian, because they can interact with and play off of smaller audiences a bit more. It was also cool to see all his facial expressions and mannerisms that I didn’t quite catch the first time because I wasn’t as close.
On another note, my childish ass will be seeing Wrestlemania XX this year as it is apparent that the Undertaker will be reactivated as The Phenom! Anybody who knows me and my wrestling…thing, most likely knows that my ultimate all- time favorite wrestler is The Undertaker. Although he was cool as “The American Bad Ass” (sounds kinda corny, I know), nothing can ever touch The Undertaker. Schoolboy geek comin’ out, but I don’t care! I finally get to shut my little brother up on who’s the illest.
On another note, there’s a lot of buzz around this Mel Gibson movie out right now, The Passion of Christ, what are your thoughts?
