Thoughts on Improv : The Who

2009-11-18T08:41:00.000-08:00

I Went to rehearsal at the comedy spot last night and as usual I felt very insecure (to say the least) with my performances. yes its rehearsal a place were I should be able to fail miserably and be OK. but there is a point were practice should pay off and I have been thinking since last night and am hopefully coming to new conclusion that the ability I seek in Improv though it look like it intrinsic and some how flows from the Muses down from Mount Olympias down to the thespians on stage is actually going to take some for thought on my part.
Yes yes yes I know what you're going to say "the basics are very important" and they are the basis for my thoughts on improv well a certain aspect of the basics of a scene anyways the who, what, were anyways well the who specifically for this little blurb on my blog.
for Years now since I started at the comedy spot it has been drilled into my pee brain that when I initiate a scene with my scene buddy to not not know the person in the scene. that I am suppose to have some type of prior relationship with the person or persons.
Now I am going to ask more of a rhetorical question which is. Can all relationships spring from or go back to the relationships you see or developed from infancy to adult in nuclear family whatever that entails. I know the answer can not sum up all types of relationships in all given situations we pull from in improv scenes so do not think I am trying to be reducesanistic in my view of relationship choices in improv.
I am just saying a lot of how we relate to different people in the relationships we forge in life have a lot to do with what we learned from our family at home and can mirror those first relationships (Frued would so proud)
and layering certain sort of stereo typical nuclear relationships into a typical situation

here is an example from a scripted sit com of modern family the 1st clip sets it up the gay couple in the show is partying with there friend who makes it apparent she is jealous of there adopted Asian baby.

this second clip proves my thesis

Obama says we should be "separate" but "equal" when it comes to gay marrige

2009-11-13T11:36:00.000-08:00

Saying a Group is Separate from the norm, negates them from being Equal by distinguishing them as Separate.

So the statement "separate" but "equal" is kind of illogical.

Or maybe its me.

Real Wealth well in a material sense

2009-11-06T08:50:00.001-08:00

There has to be more to Life than this existence of waking up to go to a 4 by 3 foot cubicle to slave for some one Else's fortune
which is by all rights nonexistent since our money is not based on anything real but a bunch of zeros and ones bouncing around from server to server somewhere in the network clouds of the banking Internet of mount Olympus
And we have legal tender of that fact circulating here on earth in the form of fancy paper from turkey and fancy multi colored ink on top of It printed in the District of Columbia by the Bureau Of Engraving and Printing.
Each Bill weighs one gram and is made of cotton and linen. Red and Blue fibers are woven throughout the paper by the Manufacture.
Any Famous person chosen to be on the bill have to be already Dead hence the slang name Dead Presidents.
Since our Economy more than ever has to due with how much legal tender is in circulation and not how much wealth is in our coffers I guess it is one of the reasons we make sure we have one of the most cutting edge Military in the world.
Since our economy is based on what seems to be an elaborate shell game I guess one needs to look what real wealth is to this world Economy and for me or any one else with half a brain the conclusion is simple .... Resources.

Gay Marrige

2009-10-18T10:06:00.001-07:00

We live in a country were one of our constitutional rights is freedom of religion what ever that religion is or not to practice any religion. And the state will not govern or intrude in the Way a group decides to worship or even conduct them selves in that manner

But if we are a nation that grants this freedom from government intrusion into the church or temple or mosk or any other institsion of religion also it is logical to say that there has to be a barrier to protect the government from influence to keep it from changing from a democracy that keeps our freedoms intact and from being changed into something quite different.

We can look back and see that there is plenty of History to indicate that this is an evolving democracy filled with bad decisions based on ignorant times, but we have come along way and have strived in time to change. When we as a nation become aware that a certain group is being treated differently then the rest of its people. In the instance of Gay Marrige and the arguments put forth by our contempory religious leaders that some how it is an attack on tradional family values. They are trying to hold on to clearly ideas influenced by there belief that marriage is only between a man and a woman.

Is it not only hypocritical that these same groups want the government to protect there constitutional right to worship with out government intrusion yet they use the same government to force there beliefs and deny a group of people the same rights they enjoy.

By doing so and we the people of the Government not stepping up and putting and end to this tyranny aren?t we allowing a perversion of our democracy.

To you hypocrites did not Jesus speak out more against the religious hypocrites of his day condemning them for there corrupt and sinful actions.

Digital 3d really enhaces the Dupe

2009-08-31T09:06:00.000-07:00

I went and saw Final destination 4 in 3D over the weekend and even though it was a enjoyable movie I really like that franchise the storyline is always the same the creativity in all of them is how they die and in the new digital 3D it was really cool.

This was my 3rd Movie I have seen since the the movie industry has started making this new all digital technique of the old 3d genera and let me tell you when they do it right it is super cool but I have a axe to grind with the collaboration to rip off the consumer one more way and how greed yet again is sucking more money from the fans of movies and how the movie industry is being irresponsible yet trying to put the burden on the consumer for being green by recycling the glasses you need to wear to watch the Film.

Let me explain the theatre charges the consumer an extra three dollars a ticket for what they call extra expenses relating to the movie and gives the a sealed pair of glasses which they ask that the consumer recycle the glasses at the end of the movie to help save the planet so they can repackage the glasses to give to the next person for three dollars win win for them what a fricken racket right.

Why not let the consumer bring and use there glasses from the last movie and if the Industry was really interested in keeping the real 3d plastic glasses footprint as small as possible would be encouraging the consumer to keep and bring in there glasses not charge them or at least pro rate the three dollars instead of blatantly using the environment to guilt us into keeping there costs down to put more money into there greedy pockets
Shame Shame Shame !

Beggers and Choosers

2009-08-27T08:53:00.001-07:00

I used to watch an interesting show on I think Shotime called Beggars and Choosers it was was about a Television Network the Execs that ran it and the Actors and Agents interactions with them it centered allot around the agents negotiating deals and the Pitch men picthing shows
I don't know if I am esplaing myself good but what I got out of the show is in Life at different time we all are Beggars and Choosers
In my capacity as a Steward for a Major Union working for a Global corporation I definitely know what its like to be a beggar. Even though collectively we at times can Choose the destiny of the Leviathan for it being the soulless beast that it is.
Having to represent a part of the workforce for some time I have learned that if there is a perceived notion from a worker that a manager is picking on them or singling them out the best course of action is too confront the manger in a civil manner
if its just the imagination of the worker and the manager is not trying to single the worker out the manager will try to smooth things over
if the manager is singling and a personal problem it will probably get worse before its gets better but its necessary to draw it out to deal with it.

I know the question has been asked..

what would aliens think if they happened upon our quaint little planet?

I guess it would have to be up to who the aliens were and how similar or dissimilar they were too us or other life forms they found on earth.
What if they were way more advanced than us but sympathized with the plight of say cows shit we would be in trouble.

Here is an interesting spin on the question

Sometimes People Just Like to Vent

2009-08-26T11:58:00.000-07:00

If I’m helping someone out with a problem and they keep repeating the same issue multiple times. Even if I have repeated a course forward on how to resolve said issue maybe even using different nuances to try to make said person to understand I do have a game plan to help them.

I think I can soundly come to one or two possible conclusions

1. They are venting and just need to vent
2. They are senile and there short term memory is like Swiss cheese.

Either way it’s all good.

You’re not the Judge of Me!

Why is it so important for man to be a success to leave a mark to make something for himself for ourselves in this world
Why do we have to constantly compare ourselves to others to there success to there failure to there wealth to there poverty
I know on the one hand without competition man would not reach the level of greatness we have reached i.e. Man on the moon, Nuclear power, microwave popcorn etc
But it also causes us to do nasty things too like exclude a weaker person from a team for fear of failure or putting crazy crap in our bodies to get a completive edge or kill a whole group of people who you might feel has the weaker religious belief than the Team your on.
That is if you want to compare world religions to Team sports.

Mabey the Hindus Have it right . ? !

2009-08-25T12:03:00.000-07:00

The Caste System seems to divide the different social and economic Classes in India more now in the rual areas but not so much in the major metropolitain areas that seem to be evoling weighther through globalization capitalism or pressure from the differnt humanitarian groups.

Still even now in the booming parts of india were people of all Castes have more oportunity than ever to carve out a more comfortable life . Were there once was walls built by generations of devoted Indians following a system going back thousands of years.
one has to ask have they been replaced by glass ceilings and is the Caste sytem really going away or just evolving with the times.

And one has to ask the bigger question of is the Caste system really a unique belief of the Hindus or a reflection of the Human condition and do we all partake in the folly of Caste system weather we want to admit it or not.
