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.

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.

Dish It UP!

“Sometimes being a bitch is the only thing a woman has to hold on to.” – Delores Claiborne, “Delores Claiborne” by Stephen King

While I am not a woman (nor to I want to be), I think there comes a point in one’s life where he or she just has to be… well, a bitch.

This is where I am trying to curve my attitude in all walks of life. So far, it is doing me some good.

At work, I am beginning to check people on their bullshit more and more. I care less and less about what people think, while still keeping MYSELF in check and I’ve recently found myself unafraid to voice my opinion.

For a while, I had fallen off track and completely lost my personality among a pack of wolves, but through self-talk, self-evaluation and the current state of reality tv, I have learned that I am a human being with emotions, needs and wants and I have every right in the world to life a comfortable, bullshit-free life. No one can tell me “no” or “you can’t,” because I motherfuckin’ can.

In the words of “Flavor of Love’s” New York, “Y’all don’t want none… but if you do, I’ll dish it. Okay? And I’m not talking about no small plate, baby. I’ll give ya a whole BUFFET. Is that what you want? A buffet? Oh, I’ll dish it UP!”

And that’s what I’m gonna do… Dish. It. Up.
