I am a spoken word poet at heart, but I also write “paper” poems, play saxophone, piano, guitar, football, and like to sing. I was born on leap day, am part-color blind, and spent 19 years trying to figure out what the hell to do with myself. Scratch that. Still trying.</description><title>Chris King Wong</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @chriskingwong)</generator><link>http://chriskingwong.tumblr.com/</link><item><title>Me performing one of my own at Sungod 2012.

And I wanted to feel your current, coursing through my veins so that whenever your hand would meet mine, sparks would shoot from the tips of my fingers, pulsing from the center of my chest, and I swear my heart could never keep the rhythm in perfect sync because it was always skipping beats when I saw you. I&amp;#8217;ve never needed a defibrillator as badly as the day you first kissed me.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“&lt;span&gt;True self-esteem, I proposed, means not caring whether you get an A in the first place. True self-esteem means recognizing, despite everything that your upbringing has trained you to believe about yourself, that the grades you get—and the awards, and the test scores, and the trophies, and the acceptance letters—are not what defines who you are.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt; —-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;William Deresiewicz&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;it’s been such a sunny weekend but a somber one at that too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rest in peace to the guy who passed away in an accidental fall in Pangea parking structure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rest in peace to the mother of a friend who passed away from her fight with cancer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rest in peace to the friend of a frater who passed away from wounds sustained while serving our country abroad.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Always a good time to call the people you love and tell them that you do. Or say thank you. Or say I’m sorry. &lt;/p&gt;
