Shabbat shalom! A beautiful shabbat day it has been ! I love the pressure of success. And prosperity,it can create a level of intensity! I say never be afraid to be apart of diversity and newness!
Unite your mind and your thoughts to learn from others and other THINGS!

.....

Dont you dare take another step, any closer i loose my breath.
its always been a mystery why i cant commit, but i met you so fcuk all that otha shit.
sorry for cursin but i been rehearsing this for a long time.
if thoughts of your beauty were to be money, there would be no recession, but i'm just testing!
it would take tenths of a second for me to drop all things to be there for you, pardon me hater i dont mean to bore you.
if colors express different moods, you will for ever be white,green, and red!
white because of your purity
green because ur nature is captivating and nourishing for the soul of the weak
red because ur passion is something fierce!

Exodus of love!

I took sometime to think this girl, your the only secure thing in my world. it took one breath and you had my all, and at times i did ignore your call.
for us to live without each others love is slavery and every chick in between was just the whip on my back, reminding me of what i need to work towards.
then something spoke to me and i stood tall, stronger legs so i couldnt fall.
lessons learned from the whips i have been getting, i kno we can be perfect in a whole new setting,
I had a talk with the big guy upstairs and he told me i am getting to old to hold on to these fears.
i told him i just want to avoid her and even my own tears.
He then said calmly "to not experience pain, is to not experience the process of true love"...
what could i tell Him after that, the only thing is love for you and thats a fact.
its time for our exodus of love.
Meaning lets leave this realm of mediocrity and mis fortune and move to what he has en store for us...
EXODUS MOVEMENT OF LOVE AND PASSION......

"its better to love and loss, than to not love a all"
(this love thing pretains to all parts of life family, your career and you significant other)

The effort made to persue ones dream is deserving of a throne in the kingdom of prosperity and Love!
I speak one langue and that is laughter! Laughter can be spoken, sung, or done in sign language! But all people speak it fluent.....well when they allow themselves too!

Lets GO!

You and I both see the stars, so lets go kiss under them in the park,
You are the best woman i have ever met by far,
Your ex left you scared emotionally, well i am scared physically,
With you around i feel no pain, no sense of stress,
I wish others felt this love that seems to just rush, rush in my brain and flow all throughout my body,

Lets Go!

It was a good idea to bring you to Brazil with me,
No sense of direction, just an overwhelming feel of affection,
We are all over the town, exploring and enduring in the feel of life,
This has to be what heaven is like,

Lets Go!

The way the sun hits your beautiful skin, makes me want to jump out of the skin i am in,
We can go to the beach, or we can go to a craft class and you can teach,
you will teach because the hands you have crafted this man that i have become, so imagine what it can do with clay and straw,

Lets go!

Lets run as fast as we can, trip and fall and we just wont care,
Lets go and swim in the nude without any fear,
Some say love is over rated, i say they are just emotionally jaded

Lets Go!

The tickets have been bought, the suit cases have been sought,
It may seem corny but this feeling is probably why Adam and eve never fought,
Run into my arms and tell me that you are ready for this thing we called a "TEAM",
Love and grace is in your eyes it seems,
I just hope this isn't another college night of DREAMS...........

LETS GO!

Respect to the pioneers!

What are the roots of stand-up comedy?

George CarlinCredit Wikipedia Commons

George Carlin once said, “I think it’s the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately.”

Until his death in June, the groundbreaking stand-up comic did just that. In 1972, Carlin’s “Seven Words You Can Never Say on Television” routine provoked a public debate about freedom of expression that eventually resulted in a 1978 Supreme Court obscenity case and helped define the limits of acceptable free speech in television and radio broadcasts.

Says Jerry Zolten, before Carlin could cross that line, many comedians had to come before, breaking boundaries and redefining stand-up.

“Today’s generation expects comedians to push the envelope and get people to think, but it hasn’t always been that way,” says Zolten, associate professor of Communication Arts & Sciences and American Studies at Penn State Altoona.

American stand-up comedy has its beginnings in the minstrel shows of the early 1800s and as stand-up evolved, the medium came to reflect America’s social history, Zolten explains. Minstrelsy ridiculed and caricatured African Americans, reflecting the racism of the time. White performers blackened their faces with burnt cork, exaggerating the eyes, noses and mouths of the African Americans they parodied.

Minstrel shows were largely musical theatre, but they did include stock comic characters, says Zolten. Positioned at center stage, the interlocutor would set up jokes and the end-men would deliver the punch lines. Another typical character in the minstrel show was Jim Crow—a caricature of a black slave, the stereotypical “happy darky” originating from the song “Jump Jim Crow,” written by a white performer, Thomas Dartmouth (T.D.) “Daddy” Rice. Later segregation laws became known by the same name.

“Minstrel shows were rife with simplistic jokes of the ‘Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side’ kind,” says Zolten, adding that “minstrelsy was also a source for much of the stereotype that still lingers today about African Americans, a group more maligned in the name of entertainment than any other.”

The minstrel show remained popular well past the Civil War and the abolishment of slavery, though by the late 19th Century it had begun to fade as the era of vaudeville kicked in, he explains. Unlike minstrelsy, vaudeville featured variety acts that traveled circuits of small-town vaudeville theatres. Audience members would pay a nickel to see singers, dancers, acrobats, magicians and comedians, he adds. In the days before microphones, comedy was less subtle, and the more physical comedy known as “slapstick” was particularly popular. (The genre got its name from a stick-like prop that produced a loud “whack” noise without actually causing pain.)

“In a huge theatre, nuanced spoken-word comedy didn’t work so well because the audience couldn’t really hear,” Zolten explains. “So comics relied more on exaggerated movement, speech, and physical, pratfall comedy to entertain. A stand-up comedian of today couldn’t have gotten across back then because he or she would have had to put so much into projecting that timing and subtlety would be lost.”

In the days of vaudeville, Zolten notes, comedians had to watch what they said. Some vaudeville theatres even posted signs backstage of prohibited words (including “golly” and “darn”). During a time of intense immigration, vaudeville comedians also popularized humor based on ethnic stereotypes.

“In addition to the restrictions on language, comedians completely avoided controversy. It was more about making fun of people and their differences,” Zolten explains, “which ironically wasn’t considered controversial back then. The gist of much of the comedy was ‘Gee, aren’t we glad we’re not like them.’”

Will Rogers, one of the first political stand-ups, was an exception during the vaudeville era. “Rogers would come out in cowboy clothes, doing rope tricks with a lariat as he offered astute and cutting political commentary,” Zolten says. “He’d joke acerbically about the politicians and policies of the day and get away with it. That’s one of the beautiful things about comedy; it gives license to say things you couldn’t get away with otherwise.”

With the invention of the microphone, records, and radio, many vaudevillians transitioned into broadcast comedy during the pre-World War II years. According to Zolten, voice amplification and transmission allowed for a new fast-paced style that depended on words and timing. Legends like Jack Benny, Bob Hope and George Burns and Gracie Allen all started in vaudeville but then moved to radio.

During wartime, he adds, the shared experience of radio comedy enhanced a feeling of Americans pulling together.

“Earlier stand-up comedy that made fun of different ethnicities is divisive,” Zolten says. “During the World Wars, comedians gradually began poking fun at what we as a society could all laugh at together.” He points to the example of the routine “Who’s on First?” performed by the famous comedic duo Abbott and Costello. The bit consisted of fast-paced wordplay about baseball-player names and the game that was a national obsession held in common by many Americans.

In the 1950s, variety shows like “The Ed Sullivan Show” and “The Tonight Show” would continue to transform comedy, broadcasting comics into America’s living rooms. Zolten cites a 1959 airing of "The Steve Allen Show” that featured a cutting-edge comic named Lenny Bruce who, before George Carlin, tested the limits of social norms.

“Lenny Bruce, in the fifties, was one of the first to really push the envelope, addressing head-on our prejudices and skewed views of things. Many people think of him as a guy who just spouted obscenities, but he was much more than that,” says Zolten. “Bruce was a catalyst for what would come in the ’60s, a warrior on the frontline of the free speech movement; a comedian who used humor to provoke thought and hopefully change minds.”

Carlin himself acknowledged that his comedy went from straight-laced to provocative after catching one of Bruce’s shows. Bruce’s influence is most evident in Carlin’s now famous “Seven Words” routine, Zolten adds.

Carlin in turn would influence a whole generation of contemporary comedians such as Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock, who cite Carlin as an inspiration and “whose shoulders in turn the next generation of comedians will stand on.”

Que Funny Funny!

I can not stand people who ask for the time with a cell phone and a digital watch on.

I can not stand people who ask for money and have on more expensive looking clothes than I.

I do not like when people have dryness in between there knuckles.

I despise big girls with leggings.(just redundant if you ask me)

Rainy days in new York to me only mean a few things!
A bad day for the homeless
Great day for the artistic and creative.

My Inspiration

In 1954, entertainer Sammy Davis, Jr. almost died in a car accident where he lost his left eye. While in the hospital, his friend Eddie Cantor enlightened him on the similarities between the Jewish and black cultures. While he convalesced, Davis had time to reflect and to engage in long conversations with a rabbi at the hospital. Davis later said that he found many parallels between the challenges Jews and black Americans faced, both historically and contemporarily. This deep reflection led Davis to convert to Judaism, a calling he embraced throughout his life--and characteristically worked in as fodder for his act, joking that he was entertainment's only one-eyed Jewish black man.

It was not long after his conversion, and he refused to work on Yom Kippur. The director of the movie “Porgy and Bess” got angry and called the legendary producer Samuel Goldwyn. Goldwyn immediately called Sammy and wanted to know if it was true about his refusing to work. Sammy said that, as a Jew he could not work on the Day of Atonement. There was silence for a moment, with Goldwyn no doubt noting that stopping production would cost $30,000, a large sum then. Finally, Goldwyn (who was also Jewish) said, "Bless you." Production on the film was stopped for Yom Kippur.

I have nightmares of us being together, loving you in all kinds of weAther,
It can rain and i would shelter you girl, it can snow and i will be your warmth in a cold world,
I would be the sun, so i can shine down on you, but i wouldn't burn your skin nah no way, at the same time i will be your shade,

You are my nightmare girl,

I want to lift you up and drop you so you can scatter, Your my master piece in the making WATCH MY LOVE PAINT SPLATTER,
Thoughts of you constantly follow me, especially at night, makes it hard to sleep,
You are the best part of waking up in the middle of the night, cause it is your image i have in my sight,

You are my nightmare Girl

Let me ask myself just one question, Why am i so in love? i'm not sure but it sure is a blessing,
