Patrick Finn – ‘My Dark Parrot’ Slam Poem and NAMI Connections
[02:11:07] Well, [02:11:08] I don’t think we have anybody else [02:11:10] to talk. [02:11:15] Really? [02:11:15] Really? [02:11:16] Yeah. [02:11:18] Like, [02:11:18] I know. [02:11:21] Hey, you guys, I did real quick. [02:11:25] I got an idea, right? [02:11:27] So peep this out, peep this out. [02:11:29] So this was really dope. [02:11:30] This is really dope as hell. [02:11:31] And it kind of seemed like it wasn’t too hard to do. [02:11:34] Right. [02:11:34] So what if, like every two? [02:11:38] So, like, [02:11:40] all right. [02:11:40] It’s really dope. [02:11:41] Yeah, it is a little bit, a little hard. [02:11:43] But look, people got it down, right? [02:11:46] Yeah, this is the first one. [02:11:48] We could do this like every three weeks. [02:11:50] Like, let’s say we have people. [02:11:51] Beforehand, send in videos, like maybe five to ten people [02:11:55] have them sending videos. [02:11:57] And then then we do a live stream of those videos [02:12:00] and have people come up and then, you know, [02:12:03] you know, and then we don’t even have to do the open mic part. [02:12:05] We can just have people sign up, send in their videos. [02:12:08] That’d be ten videos. [02:12:09] And then we just go through it. [02:12:12] And, you know, [02:12:14] his his genius is showing the mic part. [02:12:16] We can just have people. [02:12:18] You know, because, you know, that’d be ten videos. [02:12:20] I think. [02:12:21] We just this is fun for me. [02:12:23] But yeah, the logistics, if you two want to kind of help with the outreach, [02:12:30] that would be a hundred percent. [02:12:32] Yeah, yeah, very much so. [02:12:35] So are we saying right now that there’s nobody signed up to speak? [02:12:38] Nobody else, man. [02:12:39] We oh, wow, wow, wow, wow. [02:12:43] All right. [02:12:44] Well, we got to at least put the sign up back up on Facebook so everybody knows. [02:12:50] Plug their names in. [02:12:51] At the Times. [02:12:53] Otherwise, it’s going to be me, Malcolm talking to the best of y’all. [02:12:59] But if you guys want to hear something from me, I definitely have something because I feel ready. [02:13:05] I feel ready to do your thing. [02:13:08] All right. [02:13:09] Oh, you want me to do it right now, right now, right now? [02:13:13] Let it rip. [02:13:15] I got to move some things around. [02:13:21] Up, down, left, right, A, B, start, I got to move some things around. [02:13:32] OK, yeah, you guys know this. [02:13:33] You guys know this one. [02:13:36] It goes it’s called ADD. [02:13:39] So right. [02:13:43] A to the DD. [02:13:45] People laugh and say, I have it. [02:13:47] Ha ha. [02:13:48] And you think it’s funny until you actually see that. [02:13:51] You’re using your keys, wallet, and your phone four to five times a week is nothing short of a travesty. [02:13:57] Or when my boss has specific and important instructions that, David, you must do, please listen. [02:14:03] And I’m like, yep, yep. [02:14:05] You know, look her dead in her eyes and say, I got it. [02:14:08] No problem. [02:14:09] Here we go. [02:14:10] But then I’m actually thinking in my mind, are there any Hot Pockets in the fridge? [02:14:15] I leave the room and think to myself, oh, snap. [02:14:19] What the hell did she just say? [02:14:21] You know what? [02:14:21] I’m not going to look like a fool, so I’m going to wing this one. [02:14:25] A to the DD. [02:14:27] After five straight hours of YouTube videos, you realize you could be doing something more important with your life. [02:14:34] Like maybe watching two more hours on a different channel. [02:14:38] Or when you have a to-do list the size of Kingdom Come, and you easily become distracted by searching the internet about whether germs can catch germs, or if there’s a potential helium shortage. [02:14:49] Or how to make a cat. [02:14:51] That’s an obstacle course, and I know you’ve been wondering. [02:14:54] I know you’ve been wondering. [02:14:55] So next up. [02:14:58] A to the DD. [02:14:59] How fine details are not as important as watching paint on a wall dry. [02:15:03] Because you really never know when that paint is dried. [02:15:08] Is it dried yet? [02:15:11] OK. [02:15:12] Or how optimistic you are to start the five new craft projects you’ve barely glanced over, but have all full intent of easily [02:15:21] mastering it. [02:15:21] Like I’m about to get into this. [02:15:23] Just I’m about to tear it up. [02:15:25] Or when is it dried yet? [02:15:29] Is the paint on the wall dried yet? [02:15:33] No. [02:15:34] Well, A to the DD. [02:15:37] When is it dried yet? [02:15:40] Is ADHD’s less energetic brother that never got as much attention as HD because doing backflips in the living room and crashing into the glass entertainment center wasn’t an option when you have a blast? [02:15:50] OK. [02:15:51] I have a book you’ve been reading for three days, and you’re still stuck on page one because you keep jumping the lines. [02:15:59] A to the DD. [02:16:01] My crutch is my cape. [02:16:03] Never had a homework assignment that wasn’t turned in late. [02:16:06] I live in a glorious sense of disorganized chaos, and I resign to my fate. [02:16:10] And I accept the A through the D because without it, there is no optimism, you see. [02:16:14] I become immaculate in anything that is impromptu. [02:16:17] You give me a different perspective than the big picture of the world. [02:16:20] Of the world is a different view. [02:16:23] So you can go ahead and drop the last D for disorder because this is me. [02:16:30] This is me. [02:16:32] My life. [02:16:34] Damn it. [02:16:34] Is that paint dried yet? [02:16:35] Because I can’t really tell. [02:16:37] And drop the last D for disorder because this is me. [02:16:41] Thank you. [02:16:41] This is me. [02:16:43] My life.
