Tonight, I added something to my list of things I want to do. After watching the skits at the clown workshop, the gag jokes and the slapstick, I was ready to run away and join the circus. I drove away with tears in my eyes. I want to be on stage and do silly things and ad lib and make people laugh. I'm not sure how to make that happen, but its in my stars, its in my destiny. I could taste it.
I sat in the room with people that have been clowns longer than I have been alive. I sat with people my age that have been clowning for 25 years. I want to be 80 and say I've been clowning for 25 years. I'm not really interested in the kids birthday parties, and I struggle with balloon animals. I am interested in the stage part....the part that right smack dab on center stage. This comes from a kid who used to hide behind the chair when someone knocked on the door, and as a teenager, couldn't call on the phone to order pizza.
Where I found my voice, I'm not sure. I just didn't have much to say the first 50 years of my life. Now, I want to make it all a comedy and act it out. or write a book of short stories about my life. They are really just one act plays that when they are put together in real life make me.
It will be interesting to see how this next year plays out. Look for me on some comedy stage soon. I will be there.
