SHUTUP AND LAUGH!!!
GIRL YOU SO CRAZY!
Most people that know me can say I have made them laugh a lot, and that I have to chops for comedy. Well I have been thinking, and thinking very hard about expanding my ideas towards the genre of comedy. I LOVE to laugh... I mean I love laughing to the point where I have tears coming down my face, and I'm slumped over holding my stomach because I'm in sooo much GREAT pain! I love the feeling of my face feeling sore because I was smiling so hard that my cheek muscles got stiff lololololololololololololol Whew!!! A good knee slapper is great for the SOUL!
FUNNY FACE;-D
The face is the most imperfect, creative, unique, and expressive art form there is! I love looking at faces, all sorts of faces. Sometimes a face can tell the story of someones day. I sit on the train and just look at faces. I see people that look satisfied, sad, tired, confused, humored, intrigued, and the list goes on. I study faces and find myself trying to understand what got that person to feel that expression on their face???? I know when I hear great news I feel satisfied so when I see someone who looks that way I imagine that they just heard that they got a promotion at work, or found out that they just saved 15% by switching to GEICO lol (SIKE). Whatever the expression is I try to figure out how it got on their face so it can help me in my acting and with portraying my emotions accurately. Comedy is not just laughter, jokes, and a whole bunch of silliness. The art of comedy is often very sad, it's centered around everyday issues that people face. The character often is facing something that is challenging to them, and comedy just lightens up the situation. Take a look at any romantic comedy... There is always an important issue of finding true love or getting over someone, and moving on. All of that is very serious, we ALL have been through it but to take us away from reality, and make us not dwell on the bad stuff comedy becomes our crutch... Gotta love it! Any face can be used in comedy!!! A look of anguish and pain after being hit in the face with a football is very funny to watch but painful for the one who is being hit, but hey... That's comedy!!!!
THAT GIRL GOOD!
I performed a few sketches this summer in my acting conservatory and I really surprised myself! I knew I could make folks laugh, but not like that!!!! I invited my friends and I believed in myself enough to take a risk. All I did was take my mind outside of the box, wrote my own material and told myself GO FOR IT! The result was a big success. In my comedy class my teacher comedian Andrew Shaifer told me I reminded him of a female version of Richard Prior because I have the gift of story telling. He said I paint pictures well with my details, and that my facial expressions are priceless. That was an AMAZING compliment and I will not let that information go to waste! I have a couple of characters that I'm working on, and I have some ideas in the works for making all of y'all laugh till you pee on the floor! Hehe... So I will explore my silly, crazy, animated side, and incorporate some real situations so I can portray comedy in a light that will make us all laugh and that will feed our souls. Now I'm not a stand up type of girl... I like to perform sketch comedy, so I will keep you posted when I have some work up for you to laugh at;-)
OLD FART!!!
I'm sitting in Starbucks typing this blog and can't look up because there is this man winking at me and raising his eyebrows like the wrestler The ROC! UGH!!!! The only problem is that this fool doesn't have any EYEBROWS!!!!! Sigh... Maybe I can used him as a character in some of my material lol. He looks crazy y'all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EZ this is the second time this mess has happened remember I told you about the other Freak McNasty OLD FART that was raising his non-eyebrows at me... UGH! smh
FAV COMEDY MOVIES (too many to name all)
Coming to America, Changing places, Something About Mary, Meet the Parents, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, National Lampoons (any of them), My Cousin Vinny, Old School, I'm Gonna Get You Sucka!, and I know I'm forgetting A LOT!!!
Thanks to the pioneers: Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, Richard Prior, Fred Sanford, Carol Burnett, Lucille Ball, Eddie Murphy, The Wayans Brothers, and the list goes on.....

Who's In Your Network?
TIME FLIES...
It's only 24 hrs in a day and I have to say that IT'S NOT ENOUGH!!!!! After Errands, working out, auditioning, classes, part time gigs and then attempting to maintain a social life on a shoestring budget... It's kind of hard to think of anything or anyone else but yourself! I find myself skipping out on parties, performances, and other events that my friends may have. At the time I have a valid reason... I'm tired, I'm broke, I don't have enough time. This year I have kind of turned my thinking around when it comes to supporting my friends. I believe that I need to take care of my business first and foremost, but I also need to support my family and friends with the same energy that they use to support me...
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
I would like to say to my friends and family THANK YOU ALL! It feels great to see your kind words in a text, email or on Facebook! You all really lift my spirits when I'm going through my hardest times. Your support pushes me forward, and it makes me smile everyday. In a world full of hate & sabotage, it's amazing to see sooooo much love!!! We ALL have goals we want to accomplish so it is important that I once again thank you for supporting me along my journey... AND in return I would like to take the time out to shout out a few good friends and support them in their endeavors...
THE CIRCLE OF HELP
It seems that when you live in a place like NYC you have a lot of people in your network. You meet people at the gym, walking down the street, at a friends party, almost anywhere. It's just 10 times easier to meet new people in NYC because everyone lives on this small island with so many people, and on top of that we are on foot most of the time. It's impossible not to be around strangers, and so many times strangers become cool people that join your network. Some are my acting peeps, my promo buddies, classmates, college family, sorority sisters, bar hopping hommies, and I can't forget my Harlem crew!!! I may not be "friends" with all of them, but I keep them around for a good reason... They are wonderful people that are positive in my life. NEW YORK is a tough place to live, and if you can make it here you are bound to make it anywhere! One thing that I can say is almost everyone that I keep close to me has made a GREAT impact on my life. In return I believe that I have done the same thing for them. Everyone is in your life for a reason, season, or a lifetime. I will be thankful for all that I meet, and TRUST that God has place each person in my life with a specific purpose. I have gotten acting roles, jobs, discounts, and a lot of good fortunes through those in my network. I have also helped out people, and given them my time as well. That's how the circle of help comes into play. With that said it's time to support my friends and family and give some SHOUT OUTS!!!!!....
I WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO...
