Quietly Exploding

First of all let me just say hello to all, im not sure where this thing is going to go but hey what fun would that be.


On a daily basis i speak with maybe 30 strangers, each og them with the intent to cancel the service i promote. Most are kind and considerate. Most of them realize they signed up for said service and there for are responsible to pay for it. most of them... Some of the morons i speak with actually expect me to give them their money back. Some of them want me to pay their next bill. some of them threaten to come to my house, rape my wife and steal my dog.

Just five minutes ago i asked a guy why he wanted to cancel his service. His reply was that he was broke and couldnt afford to pay for it. I then inquired why, what was going on to interfere with his ability to pay for the service. "bussiness is slow" was his answer. "Oh, really, well what kind of bussiness do you have?" ( Now some of you may think i am a nosey type person but the truth is its my job to find out why people leave my service) There was a long pause and then he says " umm its kinda personal and id rather not say" Fine and dandy with me. My job is to ask not force them to tell. So i move on with the call, explaining to him how we can help him with his business and bring the cost of his service down. " Um sir" he interjects " I dont think you can help me with my business" " oh sure we can sir, we help all kinds of people save money and make money." I say as smoth and slick as possible. " no sir, my type of work is not the kind that your service can do anything for" Now im hooked. I just have to find out what he does.

Now you have to understand how well my headset will pick up background noise. Its like im in the room with him. I hear a knock on his door. "

To Be Continued....... (I got off work early )

Part 2

So anyway to make a long story short it turns out the guy is dealing crack while im talking to him. I know kinda anti-climatic but thats the story of my life. ( Feel sorry for my girlfriend )

When i started this here journal i was out to make it the best one on here. Obviously i have fallen short. Oh well i really dont care anymore. Ill just use it as a place to vent and to relate.

K-So im excited!!! i play with a troupe called Quick-Wits, but for the last month or so my "fake job" has been getting in the way. Saturday im taking some time off and doing a show !!!!! which id really cool cuz ive missed playing. Its amazing to me the transformation i have made since my first time on stage. It took jake (the owner) three months to talk me into getting on stage. I know alot of improv actors come from another form of theater or have some acting background. Not me. The closest thing i have to an acting background is lying to a cop to get out of a ticket.

Now that ive been off stage for so long, i have an incredible urge to play. to go from being forced to play to fighting the urge to quit my "fake job" and play all the time. Its just odd to me. What is it about improv that attracts me like a crack whore to a pawn shop?

I love the pull of the crowd. The waves of energy that wash the stage on a good night, but at the same time i enjoy just playing for my fellow actors as well. It sounds sappy and sad but improv has become my life. I live every moment looking for my next fix.

So if you see a homeless guy talking with an accent and sitting in invisible furniture on a busy street corner, please clap a little, throw a coin, and just walk on...............
