Mike Mcgee

So I was crusin' the Interweb's time wasters, and I found this post from my friend Amber.  She went to a Poetry Slam event in Toronto where I found about this guy named Mike McGee.  He is a Slam Poet Extraordinare.  Even now I don't really know what Slam Poetry is, but if it is anything like what Mike performs, well I'm definitely interested.

Sometimes I found people like Mike and I am amazed at what a creative people we meat sacks of humans are.  Plus the effect that one creative person has on another is to me really intoxicating.  Oh yes, I get high off of creative minds turning.  The hamsters on the wheels of creative minds spinning round chock full of creative goodness…..I need a moment.

Ok, I'm good now.

Where was I?  Oh yes, Creative people.  It's people like my friends Shane and Brian that I love hanging out with because they have that creative mind too.  As you know Shane, Brian and I are writing our own books(which BTW Shane got his preview copy of his poetry book in the mail the other day.  Woot!), and with that we always get together every week and write stuff.  We throw ideas back and forth, ask for feedback, comments, and help if needed.  It really keeps a creative mind motivated.  This week I really needed that because for the past few weeks with Christmas, Exams, and such I've been lacking in my creative outlets such as writing.

So Thank God for Mike that his stuff is out there on the Tubes that gives me that creative push on the ice to keep my skates moving.

Thanks Mike, if you ever read this.  You have a new fan like two likes three and four likes six (because, five has issues).

Toodles!
