salute to supernatural con 2008, creation entertainment

i applaud you all if you made it to creationcon 2008. why? because i'm looking at tickets for the dallas event in june?? yeah, 500 for the weekend gold package (with the breakfast with the boys, the silent auction, steve carlson's concert, autographs, etc.), plus 60 apiece per picture with the guys, plus 120 for a picture with them both.... *flail* i want to go to teh november one in chicago, which'll be basically the same. and i just don't have a grand to drop on it. not to mention plane fare, hotel accomodations, sightseeing for the rest of the time i'd be there (cause i'm not dropping a grand for a weekend. it has to be a week) and and...

seriously. not to mention that i kinda wanna go to winchestercon, even if i totally fail at fanfic. or maybe i should mention that i'd really like to go to creation's stargate cons as well.

*FLAIL*

for april's poetry month

Rives. From HBO's Def Poetry Jam way back in 03. I love his style. I fail utterly at slam poetry. But I've got his stuff favorited on YouTube.

(no subject)

it's chronic
this ache that she gets when she moves
or stands
or breathes
it's tragic that they never listened
always the same story of
too fat
lose weight
you'll live.
it's tragic cause she
used to be fun. didn't
cry all the time like there's no hope and no light.

she says she's sorry
has tears in her eyes
while she laughs at
my too-strong arms
my two strong arms
that lift
that carry
that shoulder her worries until
she says she's
sorry

it's chronic and it vascillates from
too much
to impossible
unbearably agonizing with every shift in a
too-narrow chair.
and she cries out until
my too-strong arms
my two strong arms are useless to her

it's tragic that she
hurts herself more when she
sits too long
doesn't call
when she thinks she's helping me by not relying on me

and my two strong arms are helpless
and my too-strong arms are useless
and it's tragic that it's chronic
that it could've been prevented
and it's pain that's neverending
and my two strong arms are useless against it.
