Just because it's a poem doesn't give him the excuse to not capitalize "i" does it? I don't really care, but it's pretty obvious that he proof read his poem exactly zero times.

JesusHChrist, it's poetry. Maybe he was using a lower case "i" to symbolize how small he felt after initially being rejected by the girl. Maybe?

I thought CJL's poem was pretty dayum funny. Sounded like a bullshit assignment they did on Valentine's Day, it didn't have glaring spelling issues like THE BIG DANDY VANDY'S dumb ass assignment he submitted last year and at least we know our student athletes do their own school work. 2/17/2011 5:43:14 PM |

Quote : | "I meet him in an empty field on the high plains He throws temptations my way to inflict internal pain Life and death matters, this ain't no game It's mind over matter, the power of my brain He thinks I'll give in if my muscles start to strain He believes I'll submit to the evil of society's frame And benefit from notoriety's gain He says I don't have to properly train and that he'll give me all the fame and everyone will know my name But I think he's insane 'Cause I know the truth- to gain is to give To have pain is to live So I call on my heavenly Father's name And slowly watch the thunder and rain subside I'm finally able to push the temptations aside I went blow for blow, I went face to face Now the devil knows, I'm able to escape Not by a back door or an alternate route I saw the middle high ground and I ran right through" |

Paul Cousins is on it
Quote : | "RALEIGH -- N.C. State is looking into how a writing assignment by C.J. Leslie ended up on a popular sports website.
Deadspin, a humor website that touches on the juvenile side of sports, posted a poem written by Leslie for an English class on Thursday.
Chris Kingston, N.C. State's senior associate athletic director, said the school is trying to determine the recourse for what he called a violation of Leslie's federal privacy laws.
"Our concern is the student's privacy," Kingston said. "How does that get out?"
Kingston said Carrie Leger, the associate athletic director for academics and student services, and Paul Cousins, director of the university's office of student conduct, are investigating the matter.
The site attached a copy of the 28-line, sexually themed poem under the headline of "C.J. Leslie's poem about hooking up is awfully romantic."
The Deadspin article begins: "Don't ask how but we got our hands on one of NCSU freshman star forward C.J. Leslie's class assignments."
Kingston said the school has not contacted the website." |

That was my first thought as well. The only possible issue with it is the subject matter...granted, I've never taken a creative writing class so I do not know what is considered appropriate and what is inappropriate. And some people have said in their creative writing classes that much worse was turned in.
The bigger issue is who is sending that poem around...that shouldn't happen.2/18/2011 12:17:50 PM |

That poem is nothing. I once wrote a poem where I seduced a homeless woman, banged her, killed her, banged her, brought her back to life, banged her, killed her for a second time, banged her, threw her in a dumpster, she comes back to life again, kills me, then sodomizes me with a pool cue.
