03/25/2004 Entry: "19 days without blogging"
Forgive me blogger for I have sinned it has been 19 days since my last confession.
Some of the things that have happened in no particular order, okay maybe in the order I remember them.
3 day conference of after-school educators in tarrytown- as dull as wood. I wanted to cut off my own head and replace it with a pumpkin.
Limerick Slam was cool. Got a picture with Billy Collins and got third in the limerick slam. Shappy took second and Eric got first although I don't know how many friends he lost doing it. IT was hilarious. I love theme slams, they make it fun for me again.
First day of Spring- ya right, its colder than a witches inner child.
Acentos anniversary reading with Miguel Algarin was off the Captain's hook(trying it out). It really is amazing the amount of support and love that Acentos gets from the community. I think its due in no small part to the dedication and attitude of its founders Oscar and Fish and the acentos team Rich and Jessica. Its amazing to behold. Miguel was dynamic and entertaining. He energized the room, and stayed for most of the open mic. It was the hotness.
On a side note: I have never had to yell this much at any job in my whole life. I have managed a staff of 22 and fired and reprimanded and all of that, but I have never had to raise my voice with such frequency. I think there are too many egos to deal with in my current job. Next year will be a different story. Maybe they don't realize how stubborn I am and how much I don't accept failure. If someone tells me that something can't be done, I ask why? Then I go and try until I am satisfied that it can't be done. It usually takes a long time for me to reach that point. I am no where near that now. Que sigua la lucha.
Today's song is the star wars "Imperial March" ( Hip Hop remix)
