What is Slam poetry you ask? Slam poetry is a postmodern performance poetry, a form of spoken word that is given scores based on content and performance. I fell in love with this form of poetry after seeing the movie Slam which the main character does an awesome job preforming some of my favorite pieces he has written. I remember gowning up going to school and dreading my English class every day because we where reading the classic poems. Now don't get me wrong I love all the classics but you don't start feeding a baby steak you give him or her milk. Not to say that slam poetry is the milk of poetry ,but I bet if they thought slam poetry in school it would awaken a generation of poets. So here are some of my favorite slam performances. I must warn you slam poetry is not polite, clean or nice.

298.5!
Well well this morning I stepped on the scale and I am finally under 300lbs. I thought I would be more excited, happy, and proud of myself but I am not and I don't know why. I guess should have been more in every moment of losing weight rather than looking toward the goal so when I got there it would be so bland. I mean don't get me wrong I love it that I am getting healthier and looking better...I guess I just wanted more emotion from myself when the time came. So from here on out I am going to rejoice about every pound of fat that I lose and be happy with every pound of muscle I put on. Look out 297 your about to get dropped...

VEGAS was Outstanding! Nate and Nikki's wedding was classy,crazy and a memory that I will never forget! They say what happens in vegas stay in vegas but that didn't happen for me. I dove head first into a three foot lazy river thinking it was 6 feet deep and came out with a nasty mark on my head and feeling dizzy. We spent most of our time at the pool drinking fruit blended cocktails, smoking cigars and hanging out with friends. One the funniest moments was when I was walking to a casino at about 2am and I saw two women wearing hot pick wigs and some very strange outfits. As they got closer I over heard one of them stay to they other " I can't wait to get back to our hotel room so I can wash my hands and the inside of my thighs". I feel grossed out but then started laughing uncontrollably.
Some of my most memorable moments:
Going to Xtreme Couture with Shaion and getting lost on the way there
Fremont street watching the light show and teaching beth how to play blackjack
Relaxing in our hotel sitting in our jacuzzi bathtub that fit both beth and I Yea baby!
Eating whatever I wanted
Smoking 12 cigars in about 4 days
Watching beth experiencing Vegas and it's awesomeness for the fist time!
Seeing my good friend Sammy baumer
Going to the Playboy club and the moon club and seeing the detail that the designers put into it
Stripping and having money thrown at me so nate and nikki could have money for there honeymoon
