where is this thing, motivation? where can it be bought and does it come in a can? how do you use it? do you open the can and inhale the sweet aroma, or is it like drinking a soda?
i have a pile of dishes from lasagna night still waiting on me. i have to "reset" the apartment. ideally, i will have time after work to write and look for a job before eight. wait, but there's also exercise and guitar practice. Then at 8 i have to get ready for this comedy night
i don't even want to do it.
i don't want to do any of it.
i don't even want to come to work the next day.
i just want to sleep
i want to sleep all day
there's got to be something wrong with that.
where can i buy it, and does it come in a can?
or, preferably, a 2-liter bottle.
or maybe an industrial sized drum
why do simple tasks
seem insurmountable
But speaking of:
what is a vegetarian-friendly dish that i can make for game night on Friday?
Vegetarian lasagna was a big success, but now something different. i need a dish that can serve multiple people, a "party" dish, and it needs to be vegetarian, because the host is vegetarian. |

Open Mic Comedy at The Edge
Tuesday, November 18 @ 9 PM
After a short hiatus, we're back at the Edge again for another Open Mic Comedy night. Don't miss out on this FREE and funny comedy event featuring all your favorite local Memphis comics!
The Edge is located at 1400 Overton Park Avenue - corner of Watkins and Overton Park in Midtown. Hope to see you there!
Our last show coincided with some kind of major historical election or something, so the turn out wasn't great, but we still had a pretty good time. This week, we should be rocking full force though! Don't be shy about performing either; Come up on stage and tell a joke or two! That's what "open mic" means! |

| (game of attrition) |
[Nov. 13th, 2008|12:09 am] |
when we were children, we used to stand at the window
of grandmother's apartment at the seventeenth story;
our scissors and newspapers and bags full of clipping
on the floor, awaiting Carnaval
the sirens outside, we watched the ambulance
white, i guess, though i don't remember.
there was a game we used to play
passa a morte que eu sou forte
that is to say; i give you the death, for i am strong.
then we touch the other to signify he is the next to die;
he must then touch another and speak
the incantation.
the last person simply has no recourse; he is doomed, he is the next to die.
what a morbid game for six year olds.
unwanted, she asks me
what have i been doing all these years
what have i been doing? that is a good question.
there is the sickness
stealing life away in the night; it creeps
into my bedroom while i am sleeping
it takes a little something of me, puts it into a black bag
and slinks away, out the back door.
the necromancer writes "high risk of heart disease"
i search the internet for answers; a hallway with a million doors.
Age.
You're too fat.
It's Psychological.
Side effects.
what have i been doing? that is a good question.
i swore an oath.
i paid off a car; it's mine now.
i got a master's degree.
i made a bunch of money.
i lost many people.
i became a comedian.
i went to Europe.
i went back home.
this that and the other thing.
does any of it matter?
perhaps i had once lost the game; perhaps i was the last one touched;
perhaps i am the next to die.
to be honest, i don't remember.
we believed in the Macumba.
it was something we spoke about but didn't understand;
it was the supernatural; rituals performed in the park at night
curses
once i found a single red rose,
beautiful, perfect
i must have been seven, maybe eight, something like that.
i wanted to give it to my mother, i brought it home.
"where did you find this?"
in the park, in a tree. it was in the crook of the tree,
obviously placed there
perfectly
my cousin warned me
"you have done a forbidden thing."
he said, "that is some kind of Macumba shit."
and i waited, anticipating
the great evil that would certainly befall me; the curse of the Macumba Rose.
yesterday, i ran and i ran, until i was out of breath.
then, tunnel vision, lightheadedness, palpitations.
And i thought, Isaac Hayes collapsed on his treadmill.

[Nov. 6th, 2008|12:15 am] |
Being born a citizen of one country and becoming a citizen of another are two very different animals.
By rights, i should feel more allegiance to the US than to Brazil, but i don't. For some reason, Brazil is dear to me, in a way i cannot really express. To reduce it to words wouldn't really do it justice.
But i swore an oath! i swore it! i made a decision... i didn't have a choice with Brazil... i was just born there.
i feel like i should be more excited about the election results, but i'm not. This is some kind of big historic moment that will be remembered along with 9/11, the Civil Rights movement, and other big historical milestones...
But i'm just like... "meh" about it.
Don't get me wrong, i hope that having a new president will help the country move forward in the right direction and all this... shouldn't i care more?
i don't know. i'm more worried about my future, my financial stability, my publications, my goals, etc.
perhaps this self-centered pre-occupation and lack of concern for the nation as a whole (and the understanding that my well-being is dependent on the nation's) signals that i have, in fact, become truly American.
anyways, i must pray for a friend whose stepdad is experiencing some serious health issues. i have been keeping up and praying for you, you know who you are. |

Oh, hey look, we have a new President or something.
And he's Black, and that's some kind of big historic deal or something.
Actually, I seriously wonder - what's the reaction from all the racist bigot organizations (white supremacists, KKK, neo nazis)? I mean, it can't be good. |

Okay, I'm quite sure no one really reads my journal anyway, but just in case, the Tuesday night comedy event that I posted about is POSTPONED until the 28th - that's the week AFTER the original date.
We are still on and we still have some very funny comics and I will still be EMCEEing the event, but it's just happening not this next Tuesday but the one after that.
Got it?
(hears crickets)
Okay, good. |

Memphis Comedy: New Open Mic Night!
Tuesday Oct 28th, 9 PM @ The Edge Coffeeshop
Come out for a laugh and to support Memphis Comedy at the Edge Coffeeshop on Overton Park and Watkins. If you're feeling ballsy, get up and perform! The event starts at 9, comedy gets rolling by 9:30. Ladies, you get in FREE. For you fellas, the door is only $0.00. That's right, it's FREE for gentlemen as well. That means the whole event is totally FREE!
The Edge is a cool, midtown spot; totally laid back with great food, coffee, and comfortable atmosphere. Our Memphis comedy event will feature several great comics, such as Stephen Kline (Debbie may make an appearance), Michael Kline (Possibly with Sting Mattress), Kate Lucas, Brandon Sams, Yours Truly, and anyone else who wants to perform!
Also, and this is very important, I WILL BE HOSTING THE EVENT. That's right, yours truly (along with Michael Kline) is the EMCEEEEE. So, if you're a memphis friend, and you *can* make it, PLEASE, PLEASE do. I *need* you to be there. This is a trial night and will determine whether The Edge will want to continue to book us, so unless you have to work, or your grandmother is having surgery, or your house is actually burning down on Tuesday, Oct 28th at 9, please come out.
Edit: Please note the change of date, the event has been POSTPONED until the 28th. |

So, i get really drunk last night, and become violently mopey. Since i don't have any friends, i thought maybe i would write something here, but everything i wanted to write sounded emo and faggoty. Finally, i decided that if i played a game, it would take my mind off the fact that i'm a worthless piece of shit ball of human garbage. So I start playing some NES games on my laptop, and it worked. For a while. UNTIL THIS FUCKING THING HAPPENED:
WHAT
HOW DOES IT KNOW MY NAME
okay, there's a name input when you start, duh
YOU KNOW YOUR LIFE IS TERRIBLE WHEN EVEN AN 8-BIT GAME MAKES A MOCKERY OF YOU

Just made this video... Okay, so this was today's project for me I guess. I'm kind of worried that maybe I should be spending my time like, I don't know, saving the world or something.
hope you enjoy, I slaved over a a hot Windows Movie Maker Ap for you.
