About Me

OnWord, Spoken Word Open Mic! Hosted By: MelO When: Weekly Wednesdays starting June 11th Time: 8:00 PM Where: H2O 220 State St. West Columbia, SC 29172 United States Description: Spoken Word Open Mic Night. Come share your poem, song, or joke! Show us what you've got or just come out and watch!href="http://www.myspace.com/isupport" I love to try/see/do new things. The world is ever-changing. I like that. I love multicolored socks and not being a sheep. Thinking is cool. So is learning. IF anyone tells you differently, they're just mad cuz they suck at it. I might end up being a teacher. They inspired me, and I'd love to be that type of inspiration for others. We all have our quirks and complications. I'm simply a woman who likes philosophical conversations and laughter and the appreciation of natural beauty. In other words, I could sit on a rock at the river all day w/ good friends and be wonderfully satisfied with the day's achievements. I hope everyone has had the joy of knowing what I mean.I want to be at peace. I want more people to see peace when they look at the world. I don't want them to be blind; I'd just like there to be more and for people to notice that which is there. My views are optimistic but also realistic. I am not fooled by a show, but sometimes I'll enjoy it while I can.
You are "Not So Soft." You find it
frustrating living with a government like ours
and are working everyday in order to overcome
it.
