The Kabuki Play 3

Kabuki is a traditional form of Japanese theater that portrays the lives of people who lived during the Edo period (1600-1868). While it's subject matter is primarily historical, Kabuki's extraordinary spectacles of color and sound through acting, dancing and music still symbolize contemporary life.

About Me

Name:

HISTORY OF "THE KABUKI PLAY"

  • The original "Kabuki Play" writings exposed a brash inner monologue as I struggled through the trials and tribulations as a college student. Broken friendships, irritating dorm-mates and akward trips home between semesters kicked off the first "Kabuki Play" series. However, college didn't last forever and "the real world" was right around the corner with drama ten fold.
  • "The Kabuki Play 2," a darker and more disturbing account, told the unsettling story about my first job after graduating from college, it being one of the biggest trainwrecks in the history of "The Kabuki Play." After being caught in the middle of 10 consecutive firings in less than two years and being stuck with four pisspoor bosses, I decided that I'd had enough. So, I quit my job and cut off all the negativity in my life, and moved two hours away from home to start my life over.
  • With a new job, my own apartment and a new beginning, "The Kabuki Play 3" picks up where the second series left off and revisits my inner monologue as I try to leave the past behind me and spread my wings.

Grad School

Well I started graduate school this weekend. What an interesting experience.

First of all, I can’t stand the people in the class. There is this one woman (probably in her late 40’s), who is an annoying know-it-all and won’t SHUT THE FUCK UP. She interrupts the professor every 5 minutes with useless bits information and incidents from her life to let us all know how wonderful and smart she is. She likes to constantly prove the professor wrong and drag random conversations in the MIDDLE of a lecture to an extreme. She seems to be one of those goody-two-shoes bitches that wants an A in the class SO BAD that she’ll stop at nothing to get it.

Then we have an EXTREMELY large woman, who, by the way, was STANK LIKE WHOA TODAY, that is also a blabber mouth. Although she’s not as annoying as the know-it-all, her daily sob stories about her ailing parents and chaotic family life have become monotonous and almost cliché. Great! So now we have someone with bad hygiene and in search for sympathy. Again, someone that doesn’t really have anything of value to contribute to the class.
Lastly, there is another black dude in the class, maybe in his mid 30’s. I don’t even know what to really say about him. He’s a cornball. PERIOD.

That’s just the beginning. I like the professor. I don’t like the material. I don’t know what kind of idiots are running the Graduate and Professional Studies department, but they made this program (Management Communications) seem like something else.

Based on the material from this class (Overview in Communications Management), I can tell you right now that it’s not the direction I want to go. This program is geared towards the stages BEFORE it gets to the graphic/web designers and promoters. It’s the research, planning, and vision supporting jobs that come before the marketing. I think what I want is Marketing and Communications, not management. Of course this program doesn’t HAVE that.

Here we go again. I really don’t want to continue with the program if it’s not what I’m interested in doing. Yeah, it might be beneficial for me to have a masters, but what would I waste my time for? I’m better off taking some computer science classes that I didn’t get to take at Springfield… some classes in database programming for the web or some shit. I think that’s what I’ll do.
