Seriously, it is the language of hipsters and pseudo intellectuals, especially "smart" black people, who love poetry slams. The only thing it seems to be good for is to impress women, as I will use for just that.

It allows some people to express themselves in ways that other mediums can't. It can be pretty dang pretentious, but it's a very expressive medium.

Congratulations, you managed to be racist, sexist, and ignorant all at once. Have fun with your incredible accomplishment.

@mortein: That was a little overboard, but I agree that this thread is pretty much just troll bait.

Didn't read the OP.. But poetry is made to express ones feelings or interpret things in a creative way with the use of words or speech. Poetry is often used in rap with lyrical rhyme schemes, but there are many different forms.

Edit: Just read the OP. Kindly GTFO.

Unfortunately no. I have a research assignment worth 80% of my grade in a class, due Monday... I'm about 90% done, but looking through every avenue for a way to procrastinate. lol

Haha I like to think of it as taking breaks. Not really the type to stay and do something for 10 hours without stop...And I don't take adderall.

You know what they say right? You procrastinate so that you're older and therefore wiser when you return to the material....

By 'hipsters and pseudo intellectuals' I suppose you meant musicians in general.

I dont know? Perhaps because they like entertaining other people? Maybe they like getting paid for something they like doing?

Why do you ask such uncultivated questions?

I feel the same way. I usually just take quick, 4 minute breaks,though. Usually when I procrastinated in the past, I went overboard.
