Our apologies

I have some explaining to do. I have to apologize for our lack of appearance. Especially when we say we are going to be there. I’m not talking about a FB “goings” I’m talking about personally confirmed shows. For this, Keith and Jeremy, we apologize. Seriously, I’m not cool.

I’m tired of using life and work as an excuse. And you know what, it is just that. I’m the only thing stopping anything in my life. It’s easy to slip into depression and your self bullshit. Only when your really down there for a while that you realize how funny and pathetic you are, especially living in Canada. I’ve started something here with this blog and the response I get and keep getting, the support and and love from you the readers and comics around town just shows me that I must step my game up.

You remember recess? Those 15 minutes of glorious freedom when you went outside and all the world stopped. You can do anything. Well almost, but really, it was the best part of your morning and then afternoon. Even for me, the only black girl in the school and recess meant hearing racist comments about you. Even still, recess was my shit! Sometimes better than going home. You could chat about that story that’s going around or just play some elastic with your girlfriends. Me I was running down the boys, playing dodge ball. And then, as suddenly as it came, back to school, work and bullshit. I need to make my own recess. After all. Life comes down to moments. Just little moments that last only long enough for your mind to remember it. Time to add recess to my daily routine.

I think I’ll finish this post with a little Easter rant.  Now I grew up Roman Catholic, went to church every fucking Sunday until I could take it no more. That is until I was old enough to say no. And that was at the age of 15 years old. Hey my mama’s scary. Anyways, according to the religion, Jesus comes back to life after 3 days and blablabla. Yeah that’s a great movie, even if it we’re true. What the fuck does do chocolate, bunny rabbits, eggs and duckies have to do with a man resurrecting from the dead?  I’ll tell you: NOTHING. You can throw the spring fact at me and the renewal bullshit… Bottom line is that you don’t know the answer either. The answer is money.

Anyhoo, take it easy and keep on laughing,

Jo
