Username: Nowachaoticthing
Real Name: Nunya Biz
Born N Raised in: Chi-Town
Current Location: Slightly east of Seattle, WA

Personality Alignment: Shy, geeky, Anti-social, non-confrontational, slightly paranoid, passive-agressive, manic-depressive, Amoral, agnostic, Selfish, Lazy, and usually horny, but my heart's in the right place (my Girlfriend's back pocket).

In Reality:

Those who don't know me percieve me as cold, distant, or even unfriendly. I have very few friends (in fact, I don't call them friends) but I am fiercy loyal to my respected associates. I'm slow to love and even slower to forgive, so don't get caught double-crossing me.

In the OKP Freestyle world:

For the most part, I keep an upbeat attitude, but I'm usually just a silent observer. If the above cats are the kings, then consider me the court jester. If the mood of the room is tense or confrontational, I try to tell jokes to lighten the atmosphere. When I respond to the work of others, it is rarely to critique them. I typically try to tell the writer what their work means to me, or what emotional response or inspiration came from reading their work.

I'm not cliquish, but I do have my favorite writers. They know who they are. I probably don't take my own writing as serious as i should, but I imagine that it wouldnt be as much fun for me to write if i did.

18 y/o white boy living in kansas. i'm here sometimes and then i'm gone for a while, but i love the boards and the peeps that post here. yea i flow, but i also write. its been a while since i spit seriously, so i don't go there often. some other things about me:
-i wear bandanas.
-blue and orange are very complimentary colors.
-i wear happy for men by clinique.
-the italians are geniuses and a superior race based EXCLUSIVELY on the fact that they invented manicotti and lasanga. i think they also invented cheesecake, which would exalt them to the greatest people in the history of the entire world ever, but i'm not 100% sure on this fact.
-bi-curious boys, as a general rule, are the work of the devil ( there may be exceptions to this rule).
-lesbian tornadoes rock my world.
-so do black lesbian slam poets from jamacia.
-jaquin pheniox is a walking orgasm.
-speling is not one of my strong points.
-the only women i would ever even fathom going straight for are angelina jolie, catherine zeta jones, selma hayak, monica palacio, and kristin kennalley.
-i never use sarcasm.
-gay is good.
-grapes of wrath is one of the greatest works of the 20th century.
-so is the sweet potato queens book of love.
-if you can talk you can sing; if you can walk you can dance.
-diet coke is truly the work of god.
-rita is the cutest dog on the planet. period.
-the odds are good i can rap better than u.
-i am a very modest person (also see statement on sarcasm).
-i went to a catholic high school.
-i have little respect for capital letters (there are exceptions to this rule).
-i hate uniforms.
-i'm super. and gay. thanks for asking.

Despite my post numbers and date of membership, I've been checkin' out OKP regularly since late '99. But like books, music, and other art forms everything has its time and place. I guess this fall was it for me. Finally logged on and put my 2cents in, for what its worth.

Originally from SC, now doin' it up in New Orleans for about 2 years now. Workin' the corprate scene but I need a release from the hum drum. I think I've found it here. Don't consider myself a writer, poet, emcee, or anything but a person who loves music, words and people.

Peace,

Inspiration, that's what I need and I get plenty from reading other's work. I pass many boring hours at my job as a receptionist visiting the site so it works out nicely. Spare time? What's that?

stage name: Ratpack Slim, or just Slim, depending on who's calling me up

where i'm from/where i'm at: from Milwaukee, living in L.A.

what i do: look for a job, write and perform poetry (you can call it spoken word, or performance poetry, or whatever, but i'm my own worst critic, and i have to be satisfied with my work on the page before it ever hits the stage. Keeps me honest.)

DOB: 5-23-70 (last time i did this, there were a slew of grandpa jokes...don't get it twisted. i'm younger than KRS-ONE and i can still rock the mic with no remorse)

What Else?: Um, I've been on OKP on and off since '00, i believe...around the same time I started reading at poetry spots in LA. Now I host my own open mic (Green, every Monday in Santa Monica), and I gig out a lot...I was on the Los Feliz Slam Team this past year, and met 3rd and delrica in Chi-town...MUSE and I at one point had a group of writers on here called Domepome Poets (folks like Anthology, Guerilla Love, Giovanni, Instant Axis, etc)...my words are my life.

"Institutions encourage us to consider the opinions they sell as "facts" and that we "believe" rather than question the morality they pitch."
cities need fewer shopping malls and more skat

yall know me as scholar if you know me at all, I'm chi-town born and raised and started writing about 2 years ago and my first post here was about two months ago so I'm just getting into the flow over here. um.. I'm mainly a poet but I can spit a lil sumthing every onceinawhile. I'm an urban male in my early twenties I enjoy root beer, hip-hop and long walks on the beach, my favorite color is red.
__________________________

I would like to end on this note:

I saw you walking through the park one day pretending to be great.
And I sold you my thoughts for a penny you gave me a dollar,
I made change with these two cents
I told you to take my insults as compliments and compliments as insults
For compliments only imply perfection and perfection implies insignificance...

Words to meditate on.

No truth

just belief,

my hard head makes me learn shit the hard way - t.i.

my greatest enemy is my inner me - lupe fiasco

I am the alpha numeric addict of esoteric speech
spread heat over beats jarrin awake those asleep
peep game never needed to slang never cocked 9's
never aimed always been good with them thangs
and good with this slang sometimes poet sometimes i sang
somtimes i drop rhymes to the beat of falling rain
I write to provide insight and to incite light
in leaders whose wings have yet to take flight
plights legendary but a nigga survived - learned well
seeking heaven remembering his roots in hell
and he hopes to sell hopes to profit when he exhales
hopes to see grown his chilldren and both doing well
if he fail at anything he come back harder

"i'm new here"

joke joke joke. *waves w/ new username*

my name is Fallon, but you can call me Loni or Ms Loni.

i'm an 18 yr old girl living in the UK and it's really really boring so i write stuff and post it on the boards now and again and talk a lot.

this feels like a help group but i'm rolling with it. i write mainly stuff that can just scrape for poetry now and again but i prefer not to call it that. and sometimes i try my hand at stories and monologues- which i think is my absolute favourite to write b/c you can live in someone's skin on paper.

i'm a bum right now but next year hopefully i'll be majoring in Creative Writing and minoring in Womens Studies or the other way round b/c i'm cool and i'm female.

also, alonso, i've commited murder and i think i got away with it

dot . dot . dot .

☺ ☺

I guess U know me well, I don't like winter
But I seem 2 get a kick

Name: Corey Atherley...(It's obvious by my non-disguisable username)

Birthplace: Boston, Massachusetts

DOB: January 12, 1983 (Capricious)

Occupation: Novelist

Been On Here Since: October 10, 2002

FYI:
The Negatives: Anti-social lone wolf, miserly, angst driven, quirky, always thinks the worse out of every situation (because there have been too many),moody, have very few friends but trust, loyalty and good will are things I honor sincerely in a person. I'm pessimistic, painfully shy and basically a stiff geek in a social atmosphere...(all the bad traits of Capricorn. Huge bummer!

The Positives: A classy laid back twenty year old man with an old soul who loves literature, anything from Canterbury tales, to Neil Simon, to Anne Rice, to Chinua Achebe I love. I also like poetry (which is the reason I'm on here) I'm usually an observer stricken by a deadly disease called writer's block, so I don't post too much stuff. I'm usually a fun and outgoing person who enjoys the outdoors when I'm not under a mood spell, but spend most of my time in my room putting the first touches on my first novel.

Wasn't around too long back then

but i've settled in now, even though my absence might lead you to
think in the other direction

Name: Christopher David Lord

Born: 10/5/1982

Raised in: Cambridge,Ma for the inaugural first 2 years then i was so terrible they had to take me all the way out to Billerica,Ma where i've been rockin the billerica green proudly for 19 years.

Me, Myself, and I:

Just came out of the land of the oblivious delving now into the land of rememberance
picking out snapshots thought to be impressive now trying to understand previous
perception and change the direction of this one track mind side tracked often
by the times left behind as i kept walkin hand in hand with my parents now that
i've broken chains
i've used expanded consciousness as inspiration, wrestling with an old man with a busted hip
creating salt pillars and giving places names, cause i've initiated active
memory from now to the end of days, this might now, help you, figure out, how,
i might, right extremely depressed shit, and make it likwit, in my writings, EXPOSURE,
the tithe i gladly provide to the community knowing that it's entirely devoid of malice
reads truth and then tells you if they felt it cause all i have to got to bouce off of is
me myself and I and often times i find objective minds spry

I told myself i wasn't gonna do that, but if someone gives me a focus as appetizing as myself i often cannot pass up the chance to bounce off of the inspiration.

aspiring emcee/producer/overall music and cultural controller/concept kingpin, trying to create a strong hip-hop culture in my neck of the 'burbs and yes it is the burbs not the exurbs, all y'all city heads can 2x it and do the can can all over your misconceptions if ya think the burbs ain't got nothin to reckon
and i'm trying to find my spottieottiedopealicious angel along the way

maybe lil mo and fabulous said it best
2 describe a sista means placin me in a superwoman category
no krytonite can bring me down..
leo traits very strong
high energy is like surround sound
all around me/at times u look at me with ur shades on
but i digress im tha mistress of my home of 1
welcoming all to some food n love/im a ninja/ stealth on
some love shit/comprised of corporate suit/caramel skin/forged in a 5'7 frame/i gettin betta w/age/no longer about games/im learnin how to develop my voice on paper w/each stroke of this keyboard/hoping my message is clear as my name clarion
-----------
adventurous..reader of these boards...very new here..but i enjoy reading and trying different things out (see above message--ha)...still learnin and dwellin in Motown..

..

...but I'm a good guy.

"It does not bother me to say this isn't love...because if you don't want to talk about it then it isn't love...and I guess I'm gonna have to live with that...but I'm sure there's something in a shade of grey or something in between...and I can always change my name if that's what you mean."

...aka Queen Nina aka queenanin

Been livin a little over 24 years old this past June 26
I am everything a cancer is...(for the most part)
Sensitive, nurturing all that shit. Will cry at the drop of a dime...but don't get it twisted...Along with sensitivity comes other emotions...I will cut loose if necc...

Originated as/marinated into the free spirit that I am today in: Wichita, KS

What do I do? I am a member of the USAF...have been for almost four years now...and no, I don't like it...

What else do I do? Poet/vocalist, model, clown...I love to laugh and make others laugh...I can smile all day long, but if I'm not smiling, that does not mean that something is wrong...
I have been focusing on my vocals now for about a year or so and am just now starting to write again...

I've been lurkin 'round OKP for about two years but have never had the time to actually hit up the boards...Now I know why. I admit that I am addicted to the OKP message board. GD in particular. I hope to spend more time 'round these here parts. Hopefully it will be a little more relaxed...

Want to know anything else? Just ask...

I may not be saying anything that hasn't been said before, but I may be saying something that someone's never heard before.

"The Black Artist's role in America is to aid in the destruction of America as he knows it. His role is to report and reflect so precisely the nature of the society, and of himself in that society, that other men will be moved by the exactness of his rendering and, if they are black men, grow strong through this moving, having seen their own strength, and weakness; and if they are white men, tremble, curse, and go mad, because they will be drenched with the filth of their evil."

myself is sculptor of
your body�s idiom:
the musician of your wrists;
the poet who is afraid
only to mistranslate
a rhythm in your hair...
-E.E. Cummings

Who am I? "Yo, I am the world renowned, verb, adjective, adverb, pronoun, suffix, prefix, original, or remix, sunburst and eclipse."

"I am eternally evolving, entirely extensive, an ecclectic expression elloquently instantly innovative, courageously creative. . .I'm driven. This God-given gift it comes naturally to the native."

I'm 23 years old. I'm a hopeless romantic. I am one of the few of us left that really believe in Love, and the power of Love. I only say it when I mean it. There's only 2 meanings. Love in a family sense, and Love in the romantic sense. I don't believe in telling a friend that I Love them. I can care very deeply for a friend, but Love is saved for blah and blah. I'm pretty sensitive about that. I hate it when my friends tell me that they Love me. Well, I strongly dislike it, not hate it. . .But you know what I mean. I'm a sagittarius. I am very picky when it comes to spelling and vocabulary. I don't know why, and no you can't ask. I am spiritual, and intellectual. I am very passionate. If I'm going to do something, I do it, 110%. No half-assed shit. I am a perfectionist. I am very stubborn. I like to think that I know everything. I don't necessarily consider myself to be "deep," but I am full of thought. My mind is always going at 100mph, constantly thinking and analyzing people and situations. That makes me very anxious sometimes, but that doesn't make me a bad person. I am often hard to get along with because of my stubborness and my passionate/perfectionist nature. I'm not one to judge anyone. I live my life the way I want to, and I expect everyone else to do the same.

Barefoot, the 11th street Bohemian. Known for my versatility....I can hit you with a sonnet, haiku, freeverse, sixteen bars of ice cold metaphors, or what have you. I have forsaken the circuit, but occasinally I'll pop my head in a venue just to show the people that I actually care about that the kneegrow still grows. For those that don't know, the acronyme OATYSO stands for "Oh, and take your shoes off", so when you see it, do it..the method in which I make the request will give you an indication of the mood of the peace...incentive to read it again, or just take it with a grain of salt. So that shit isn't just a clever call sign.

And most importantly.....I love words the same way I love women. Slowly. Quickly. Hard. Soft. Complicated. Simplistic. Classic. Contemporary. Rigid. Free. Mine. Yours. Whatever...as long as they're words, I'll love them.
