J. Keith in a Show in New York! …and a Secret!
Come see me read something I wrote! Yeah!
As of 5pm on Saturday, I have no idea what I’m going to read. I’ve done this show twice before in LA and I always try to read something brand new –something I write just for the show. Last time the ink was still wet on the paper and I was almost late for the show, it was so new. In fact I was out of paper. Some in the audience might have wondered why I was reading the story off of green construction paper. It was all I had left in the house. This time I have plenty of paper handy. All I’m missing is an idea of a story and the time to write it.
So… come see how it all turns out, won’t you?
Meantime… hi blog-readers! How’s it going? I am deciding right now to post more often. Doesn’t every person with a blog say that? And then what happens? Life? Jobs? Realizations that hardly anyone reads this so what’s the point? Well, it’s hard to get people to read when there isn’t much new for them to see. Kinda like one of those self-fulfilling prophecies.
I choose to defy it. I will continue to write sporadically yet I predict readership will rise. Why? Because of my stubborn refusal to read and understand The Secret. I am instead only going to absorb what I can through its derision in the media. I am going to think positive thoughts about wanting a bike and a piece of jewelry in the window of a fancy store. I’m going to cut out pictures from magazines and wish really hard and they’re going to manifest. Except who buys magazines anymore? Am I supposed to cut them out of my computer screen? That could be dangerous. I could get electrocuted and need a new monitor. I’d have to sue the makers of The Secret…
…which would make me rich enough to buy the bike and the jewelry! And everyone would visit my blog to read about how I did it!
MY GOD, IT REALLY DOES WORK!
Quit procrastinating and write your story!
Of course, by the time I’ve written this, you’ve performed.
I hope it went swimmingly, but it was from you, so I’m sure it did.
Super awesome story and presentation, JK. Laughed outloud. Glad you didn’t die like that woman competing for a Wii with the CA radio station this year. That would have sucked… seriously sucked. Also… a request for the next edition of Piñata — throw out Jelly Bellys!! — maybe in individual packets. One by one would make a mess!
