Hi I'm A.J. and I've been reading poetry this place called the blackspot for about 5 months now. I'm not that shy when I comes to reading in front of people, but others might be. As a result, I think that the Blackspot should dedicate one night to the unsung poets, that may have and have not read poetry in public.
Many of my facebook friends have tagged me in his or her poetry notes. I think a lot of them have really great stuff, and I think they deserve to be listened to. It wasn't up until recently did I read one of them that I decided to create this group. Many of you have posted poetry in the past, and many of you know who you are.
I recently made a Facebook group dedicated to this cause, unfortunatey I got some nagative responses. This is one of them
"i don't have enough material! and b-spot is weaksauce. with to many alcoholics to appreciate our epic sonnets! we should see if there's anywhere else we can do this. like 4c's and have it been like a poet get together. sharing pieces, ideas, and shooting the shit of course."
This is another
"I haven't been back there in forever. I wanna go see my friends play, but it kind of got scary. well....the 40-something-year-olds hitting on me bit. If you're old enough to be my parent, please back the fuck off. lol"
This is what I wrote back to both of them
"I respectfully have to agree with you pat....... idk. I think all our friends are right, too many douche bags go there. I was just hoping for a night in which people who haven't read there poetry out loud could finally get a chance in front of people that they are comfortable around, rather than the bucktoothed homeless looking weirdos that yell shit out while people are performing. But I still have hope!"

My Midget Poem
Since I'm a poet and I read in public, a lot of my friends as me to write poems about them. So far I've only written one poem about a good friend of mine. I love her. She's about 4'7 and I'm one of the only people that she lets call her a midget. I'm sorry if you might be offended by this poem, but all that matters is that she was not.
They may have a smaller body, heart and brain
But they are people too, there one in the same
How can I get a midget? There must be a way
So I went on-line, and bought one off e-bay
I opened the box and guess what popped out
It was my very own midget, I didn’t have a doubt
I took her to the zoo, I bought her balloons from the staff
I put her on my shoulder, so she could see the giraffe
Like in Find Me Guilty she was my lawyer
I was Huck Finn and she was Tom Sawyer
We’d take the 85 Dodge shadow to the streets
Shed yell in her high pitched voice from the seats
She had an unorthodox personality it was hard to label
She had to sit in a boaster seat so she could reach the table
Sometimes people would laugh at her because she was the Size of a pillow
She carried a small sword with her, like Frodo or that guy from Willow
She was short tempered; I’d never maker her mad
She’s short enough that she can head butt you in the nads
One thing you should know, our friendship was legit
I was just happy that I had a friend that was a…little person
One thing I will tell you, before I must depart
I you want a midget friend, craigslist is a good place to start
They may have a smaller body, heart and brain
But they are people too, there one in the same

The Judgement Poem
They don’t send money to me
And you come here for free
Yet you yell obscenities
And stand there with Glee
What makes you think you can Judge me
Since when did you get a poetry Degree
If you hate it, its not were you need to be
Go smoke a cigarette or go pee
Do what you normally do, light up those trees
Stay in your car, listen to your Pink Floyd CD
Just don’t go on a heckling spree
You turd of the sea
Not everybody’s going to like my poetry
This I can guarantee
I don’t know the key to success,
But I know the key to failure,
And that’s trying to please
Everyone that’s there
You say I’m too loud
For this I’m proud
As a result my emotions don’t cloud
I cant please the whole crowd
i write cause God, says I’m allowed
maybe I don’t like the way you play that
maybe you can’t carry a tune or rap
maybe I don’t think you’re funny
maybe your music sounds like crap
maybe I don’t like your act, and that’s what I conclude
but I don’t yell shit out , cause I think its rude
express your opinion some other time, and show a little class
cause I wouldn’t go were you perform, and knock the dick out of your ass
And you come here for free
Yet you yell obscenities
And stand there with Glee
What makes you think you can Judge me
Since when did you get a poetry Degree
If you hate it, its not were you need to be
Go smoke a cigarette or go pee
Do what you normally do, light up those trees
Stay in your car, listen to your Pink Floyd CD
Just don’t go on a heckling spree
You turd of the sea
Not everybody’s going to like my poetry

But I know the key to failure,
And that’s trying to please
Everyone that’s there
You say I’m too loud
For this I’m proud
As a result my emotions don’t cloud

maybe I don’t like the way you play that
maybe you can’t carry a tune or rap
maybe I don’t think you’re funny

maybe I don’t like your act, and that’s what I conclude

Talking e-mail Trash!
I was deeply offended the other day when a 38 year old woman sent me a Facebook message, talking trash about a person that is a sister of a very good friend of mine. I don't think what she said in her text is important, but I think you should at least read my response afterwards. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!

Arthur,
I heard on very good network sources that you're making a move on a woman by the name of K*** **********. You should be made well aware of the facts before you make the mistakes that many have made before you. That woman is a hot mess. She is a chronic liar and is highly medicated because of her instability. She has failed out of four colleges and cannot hold down any job. As a matter of fact she gets fired frpmvall of them. I heard that her ex fiancé bought her a $ 300,000.00 dollar house and she gave him a gift he cannot get rid of!!! Not the type of woman you'd bring home to mom and dad!!! She's highly contagious!!! Not in a good way. She couldn't handle having babies, emotionally, so she's aborted hers with her fiancé of five years. She's a bit off her game. She is always looking for attention. As aatter of fact she has tried to get onto the pants of a few of her fiancé's friends. Not a good person. Justva lonely person. I feel badly for her. Shecneeds a lot of psychological help and more help. Thatviscwhy she lives with her parents and she's almost thirty.
Don't mess with a girl with junk in her crotch!!! Youvwill never be able to sleep with another woman again. Ever.

Someone who knows K*** all too well. And that she has ruined her life and many lives she has touched. She has given men STD's that can ruin other peoples lives and sexual reproductive capabilities. Luckily, it can never effect me but has messed will enough people that I know. And she needs to take a good look at herself and get the medical attention that she needs.

I don't know what behooved you to think i was hitting on her. I'm friends with her younger sister, thats it. I maybe have had two conversations with k*** in my entire life. You gave me quite a bit of information that i didn't need to know. If I had this much hatred for another person I would go talking smack about them, I'd let them know it cause thats the type of person I am.
I appreciate your concern, but I'm a big boy and I can handle myself

Southland Tales
This movie was one of the most random movies I've ever seen in my life.
Most people think they can predict any movie, not this one.
This movie constantly kept me at the edge of my seat. This was loaded with
Movie stars. This movie is fucked up, in a cult classic kind of way.
One might see this and say It makes no sense, but that’s what I like about it.
This Movie stars Dwayne Johnson, Sean William Scott, Justin Timberlake, Bai ling, Kevin Smith, Will Sasso, Christopher Lambert, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Mandy Moore, Cheri Oteri. This is the first time you will ever see Jon Lovitz in a serious role.
It's hard to explain the plot, like a Rocky Horror picture show, or Donnie Darko.
So many threats of suicide. Extremely entertaining for a semi-low budget film.
The Rock, plays a respected republican Hollywood actor, who was mysteriously kidnapped and had his memory erased.
Shawn William pulls off an unexpected good performance, as an Iraq war veteran.
Justin Timberlake, plays one of his comrades that was accidently shot by Scott's character. He Narrates.
I was hoping to see more of Christopher Lambert, since I'm a huge Highlander fan,
but everybody needs there time on screen. Sarah Michelle Geller plays a manipulative porn star, who is dating boxer. The guy from the princess bride, you know the one that yells “inconceivable!” Together the Hollywood actor and the porn star write a script about how the world is going to end, and that’s just the beginning.
This film contains many great quotes
“This is the way the world ends, not with a whimper, but with a bang.”
“I'm a pimp, and pimps don't commit suicide.”
“When the shit hits the fan it all smells the same”
This shows an alternative 2008. I'm not going to give away most of the plot, so
You’ll have to see it for yourself.

Dateline NBC
I wrote this poem in mind while watching a show on MSNBC
you hate your life, you're not getting enough from your spouse
you drive 200 minuets to get to this other woman’s house
you finally get there, this tiny girl greets you at the door
after she gives you a smile, you think you're going to score
you step inside, this 15 year old girl you think your getting laid
she says "come on in, I made you some cookies and lemonade!"
a gray haired man steps out of the room and gives you a blank stare
he pulled out a clipboard and says, "why don't you have a seat over there"
"so lets me ask you this, what are you doing hear"
you start to mumble and begin to shed a tear
you say, "i just wanted to talk, possibly be her friend"
"well let me read your chat log, and embarrass you instead "
"Don’t read that!"
"I want you to dress like betty page and call me Mr. Bean
Pour Dayquil on my_____, smack my ass with tangerines"
"before you go, I'm Chris Hansen with Dateline NBC
you're on to catch a predator, this will be on TV"
you know you're screwed, you know you're gong to Jail
as hes talking to you, you turn around and bail
you run past the police, like the gorilla from Congo
you head straight for your white ford bronco
you try to open the door you find that your not able
and just realize that you left your keys on the table
you learn the hard way, against the police you don't race
as soon as you turned around, you took a nightstick to the face
Now your in prison, you've been sentence for 5 years
while Chris Hansen is at home, cashing in on your tears
you learned you lesson, 15 years olds you’ll no longer scope
when your in the showers, just don’t drop the soap
you hate your life, you're not getting enough from your spouse
you drive 200 minuets to get to this other woman’s house
you finally get there, this tiny girl greets you at the door
after she gives you a smile, you think you're going to score

Text message friend
One thing that annoys me about text messaging is that, there is no emotion behind it a text message. That is why we use phrases like lol, jk, and lmao. I also hate it when I try to call someone, and they wont pick up, but they will send you a text message immediately afterwards.
Anybody can misinterpret a text message, and its hard to tell if people are joking. I’m old fashioned. I like to call people. But, I feel in today’s society it is frowned down upon to call instead of text. I decided to write a poem about the concept of text messaging. This one is called TEXT MESSAGE FRIEND
It’s only a text message that you will send
Because of this, I only see you, as a text message friend
If I see you at a party, you hand I will shake
But it won’t be future plans, that ill try to make
We not good enough friends to give each other a call
But you might be good enough to write on your Facebook wall
I see you on the street; I might say what’s up!
But if you see me calling, I know you won’t pick up
I’ll get a test from you saying, “text me I’m busy”
If I test and drive, I know ill get all dizzy
I’ll try to call you, because I don’t text and drive
You send a text back, saying you’re busy at the time
Come on I know you’re only playing Call of duty 4
We will only be text message friends
And we won’t be anything more.
