Grown Up Storytime Reading

Right before Thanksgiving a story I submitted to a once a month event in Houston called “Grown-up Storytime” was read. It’s the story of when I was selected to be a judge at a “Spoken Word” type poetry competition.

I didn’t know the guy who read it, but he was pretty funny.

Also, Grown-up Storytime is pretty neat. If you didn’t want to click on the link above – basically anyone can submit a story and if it’s picked they have one of their readers (I think anyone can apply to be one of those too) reads it.

To the Fans of the Mayans

Meteors are crashing down

Destruction rains all around

Dinosaurs have re-inhabited the Earth

They are crushing people with smirks and mirth

Five hundred tornadoes suddenly appeared

But I don’t find any of this weird

Godzilla is riding a super-sized dragon

Throwing presents from his TNT-filled wagon

An earthquake has swallowed Hawaii

Ignorant dolts are screaming ‘why, oh why!’

I don’t mean to sound crass or mean

But all I’m feeling is this dopamine

You see, when you are proven right

A shot of dopamine is there for your delight

I KNEW the Mayans had it figured out

I knew it with all my heart, without a doubt

So you see … oh crap, a foul-tempered liger

Excuse me while I run away with my righteous swagger

Think About It

I don’t know who you are. I don’t know how popular you are. But I do know that right now there are more white guys singing and dancing (poorly) to Michael Jackson’s “Bad” than you have friends.

No, really, that’s probably true. Isn’t that nuts?
