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.

The Friendship Continuum

I really don’t understand people. They lie, the make things up, they backstab, they betray… there is absolutely no sense of camaraderie or value in friendships whatsoever.

In my case, I have people constantly talking shit and doing things behind my back, but then they’ll be all buddy-buddy to my face. I don’t get it! I can understand the need to vent or assess a situation when my back is turned, but I don’t understand the failure to bring right here. Those people know who they are.

The question is, do I even bother? Well, maybe not. I’ve devised a “Friendship Continuum” diagram (inspired by the lovely Tori D.) that displays how I deal with people.

It’s really quite interesting. I actually learned a thing or two about myself like how freakin’ patient I am with people who keep pushing my damn buttons. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT?
