I would love to see a video man, you could use some English subtitles

Didn't think about that but that's a really good idea actually. I'm leaning towards something like this now, going to see what I can do about that

Word

The event is postponed until further notice as more people have gotten Covid the past week, and we're basically back to March with lockdowns, closed gyms and so on. Sucks

Lol good cuz ur fuckin wack an that shit would've been trash lmaooo

It's still happening you degenerate pos

Also, I remember people pulling the same negative detrimental bs towards other people at other forums, I've seen people bloom the moment they got away from people like you in particular. You think THIS is the place to grow outside of your own weak af online persona that reeks of being a toxic lowlife irl? No, really, I'm interested to hear you speak.

do youre thing brodie.

I am, and thanks. Currently in a transitional period to become a better person. Yall won't see this side of me again soon enough, I'm getting it out of my system while I still can. This dude opens up for exactly that, so might as well have my last few fits of actually going in so I can recognise why I'm changing and focusing on myself and which vibes I give once and for all.

Just know his Ghost1: I ain't joking about what I'm saying, I care less than you think and you will probably care a bit more than you were ready for if you go down this path. You will not be able to mend shit afterwards and I'll probably ignore you after our back n forth forever after this, solely because I think you are literal garbage that won't even deserve the least of my attention in terms of a reply

Lmfao. Damn @Ghost1

Good to see you though. Wuddup fammo

My apologies for my behavior earlier. I had been having an on-going anxiety attack for 2-3 hours before I logged on, got a new phone yesterday and couldn't figure out how to log in/change my password to Reddit due to it. That's usually where I go to reply and occupy my mind until it settles. This time I went to just read Netcees instead, saw your reply and ye, started acting/thinking irrational thoughts. Working on it though. Welcome back

It got postponed to February due to Covid, and then cancelled due to bankruptcy/lack of funding in the end. They told my friend they're going to open it back up again at a later notice when things settle and he's one of the first on the list to get a gallery opening if/when it happens. Not too big of a deal to me but my friend is devastated :(

Lmfao robronDUH.

Underrated objective post

Sorry to hear about the delay though. Still probably for the best.

Probably for the best considering covid etc. In terms of the rest: I got no shame and live life for the memories. Also got connected with a person that has won a few of these events and competed internationally (at least I think he has, at the very least performed outside of Norway) so I think my addition to his opening would serve its purpose well enough even if it wouldn't be top notch stuff.

I wish you would change your sig though. Cringe

Says the guy with an undercover rat from a 1990s b-movie as his avvy

I've had it since I signed up, which was 10+ years ago. Have been thinking about changing it but now I definitely won't and never will lol

yeahh dont listen to these motherfuckers.. focus on ur objectives

Objective... yeah man do it.

I don't like doing public speaking, or preforming on stage. The few times I rapped in stage it was loud, low lights and a lot of yelling.

Doing spoken word and whatever, even if you have good material and are confident about how you can speak it cadence etc, its all on you. So its a little more nerve wracking.

But if you promised your friends you'd do it and you've got confidence, go ahead and kill it man, unless you're horrible you wont get booed and you'll feel good a few years later about it.

Good luck homie don't back out!

Word. Mac n Ouch among a couple the real ones on here.

I think the Norwegian culture is very accepting to giving things a go, even when people fuck up. The spoken word and storyslam communities are really supportive as well. Tons of events where novice people can start out, crowds are usually supportive/respective as well knowing someone is doing something they don't dare to do.

I feel safe enough in terms of backlash, shit was always nerve wracking until I'm on the stage in school (obviously not the same but theater etc. I often got one of the main roles, just gotta think of it as the same thing). Then everything disappears, I just need somewhere to start. Once covid is over I'm going to be joining events on the reg and build from there for the love of it.

Bottom line is you know if what you're reciting is good enough or not. Just do it, in a Norwegian cafe thats all about poetry readings I don't think you'll get booed even if you suck horribly. And you'll probably do fine.

I spoke at both of my brothers memorial services. One committed suicide, the other was killed. And my parents wouldn't speak, my brother who committed suicide my mom rented out this big hall, there was like.. a good 300 people there. My parents wouldn't speak, and I just flippantly said I would a few days before the service not really thinking.

But anyway, I stood up and went to the podium and did it and I feel good about myself to this day for doing it.

And this is coming from a guy who went to community college, had a stand up presentation and I didn't go to school the day of, they rescheduled it and I didn't go to school that day either. I'm loud mouth, and confident as fuck.. but public speaking makes me feel scurred. Bottom line is stand up and do your shit, if you're confident in it.

You'll feel way better about it if you do Vs. hide under your bed sheets.
