Dear Reader,
Two years ago, in an effort to jump start my return
to comedy,
Ha! Who knew I left??!!
said in my Phyllis Diller voice,
I took an expensive social media course. Part of that course work
required that I establish and or maintain an active presence on numerous social
media platforms including a blog. What a
coincidence, you happen to be here at my blog!
Well two years later, I’m thinking how nice it would
be to have the $400.00 and the thousands of woman hours I invested in social media activity while simultaneously shedding every shred and
semblance of privacy. Thank you Google for reminding me ALL my communication is subject to scrutiny, surveillance and is not even my own
property! Yes, Big Brother is watching, reading, listening and has data files on EVERYTHING!
So, in an effort to make my life a better place to live,
I’m issuing a challenge on this blog.
For better or for worse, jeeze, how those words
remind me of my now defunct marriage, for better or for worse; if I don’t garner
comments from more than the 3 women who regularly respond to my weekly blog and
who, coincidentally also write on this
site, I’m cutting it loose. Why not? If you are too busy to read and comment, I've got fish to fry, like...
I currently have an Indiegogo campaign to kick,
shove and push Drama Mamas The Film, my cultural legacy project honoring
#BlackWomenTheaterDirectors, to distribution. With 20 days left in the 60 day sprint to our
goal of $52,275, we’ve raised $1,045. You
do the math…
I’m in the midst of a hostile takeover of my
beautiful apartment, the 3rd floor jewel in a brownstone in Brooklyn’s
Bed-Stuy. Yes the ghetto where I was born, raised, fled in horror, returned divorced with head bowed and now can’t afford its increasingly outrageous
gentrified rents in the hood.
I’m Linkedin, tweeting, status updating and blogging
my heart out to firm up my slippery footing in the fickle business of show. The results are in! This year I’ve had 1 paying acting job and 1 paying
stand-up job.
Wait one minute while I
post that as a status update…
Damn you go on facebook for a minute and there goes
the entire day.
Ok, I’m back. So there
you have it Dear Reader. If right here
on this site, I don’t get the comments I need to at least give me the illusion I make a difference here; one day - one Thursday – I just won’t be
here.
I'm not saying when. I'm just saying it's been really real.
