Flowings of Your Everlasting Taffyman

So yesterday was the annual take back the night event. Im pretty sure Ash and Glaza were running it and planned the whole thing and i thought they did a great job except, maybe it was the wrong day. There were at least 6 events on campus last night and take back the night is way too deep and responsibility inciting to be a popular event. So the numbers were low and those who spoke even fewer but at least they got what they needed out. I was hoping more would show up. I was hoping there would be more than 5 guys there and this one girl got up and said that, she said men must be included to make the change and i couldnt agree more, which is why i went around advertising to guys. and not a person showed. disappointing.

for those who dont know Take Back the Night is an event, where victims of abuse domestic, sexual etc, come together and reclaim their right to not be afraid. To speak out against their abusers and tell others what they went through, share the experience so many others have had so that they dont have to feel alone in their suffering and so that by example they can help others who have or will be in their position in the future.

I wrote a poem, i wont put it on here.
I read it at the open mic following take back the night, the open mic is a completely seperate event I read "customs" "his majesty" "shame and school work" and the new one. People responded well.

Many of the normal cats were there and it felt kind of good like being back in a club where we all appreciate eachother's gifts, even if we talk shit behind eachothers backs occassionally. (everyone is a critic)

there were two other poets and i enjoyed them a lot. Different styles too bad i was nervus and couldnt pay enough attention.


tonight i go on this retreat for the wellness center. Peer health educators and shit, we are really just hanging out tonight and manana we drive back here and get educated on the things we might need to help people with.
um it would be a good event cept i got 2 papers and a test on monday as well as some reading in which i got to turn in questions to the teacher the night before, which means my weekend is gonna suck. but after monday i think i get to relax a bit, ust lots of reading....

you's is a wonder amazement bows down to you and with thou's magnificence we all wonder what our own problem is...
