tonight, instead of mindlessly listening to music
as I painted my nails.
I decided to watch a Ted Talk.
Not something I'd ever done before.
Not something I had every thought about
Not something I had every thought about
even doing before
But someone,
mentions quite often that
they were 'watching a Ted Talk'
while eating breakfast
washing dishes
whatever things, he happens to be doing
at the time
And thus,
I've been intrigued.
He has a habit of making me feel
like that
So tonight
I decided to check it out.
Ted Talks, that is
Maybe to make myself feel 'cooler'
more intelligent
more prone to understanding the deep things in life
maybe just to be more impressive
if anyone asks what I did with my night
However,
I found something else.
Something that might just be my infatuation
with public speaking
and writing
but maybe
just maybe
it's something.
That I could grasp.
And use.
I watched the Ted Talk,
linked at the top of the page.
Done by Sarah Kay
a spoken word poet.
I'd never heard of her,
but within 30 seconds
I had decided that I wanted
to know her
I wanted to be able
to share my words
like she does
I have listened to many a spoken word poet
before
generally, due to my friends infatuation with specific ones
but I had never really
ADORED it
as I adored listening
to her
Maybe it's because it was something
that I could relate to
Maybe it's because I've never heard
someone actually explain
spoken word poetry
in such a form
Maybe it's because my passions are so overwhelmingly
diverse
that spoken word poetry somehow speaks
to multiple at once.
Maybe it's none of the above
and I'm just grasping at thin air
pulling it out of my ass
But then again.
Maybe not.
So now I feel inspired.
At midnight.
On a Sunday.
Well,
now a Monday.
And I'm not sure what I want to do with it.
