so much to say...

it's been a while..this i know. There has been a tremendous amount of change rushing through my life in the last year..but tonight I sit here nursing a cold and decided...time to get back up on the damn horse. Enough of the silence. Silence because hmm how shall i say some people...let's call them spam brown read my blog and found it offensive or enlightening or funny or annoying I'm not really sure what spam thought really thought alas...i'm unemployed. But that isn't a pitty ploy in fact having free speech is a right that I'm willing to be liberated from slavery for. A wake up call! Run north, young artist run north! So here I am north and damn it's cold and it's winter. Not the best time to be a runaway but the universe will provide. Do i sound crazy? I feel a little crazy..maybe it's the cold medicine, the blurred vision, the oj.

I'm watching the pats vs. the giants. I hope the pats win..16-0.

SO now that i'm free i can say whatever i want whahahahahahahah...the price of freedom is high. So screw all of you. I'm not bitter..i'm liberated.

Another topic on the agenda..a friend of mine is going to go a get gay married on monday. We just talked all about it...whether to do it for love or health insurance. This is the thing now..we gays have choices..to be good citizens or sneaky ones who take marriage and throw it in the face of the government. I advise my soon to be married friend to think clearly about her pending nuptials. That no matter how passe the other partner may pretend to think the vows are...there is something to be said to be someone's wife. Just wait for when she introduces you as...my wife...not my wife who married me for health insurance. Don't be fooled. That's all I have to say...everyone wants to be married and the ones that don't are just kidding themselves and convincing themselves it's not for them. Funny enough I'm not sure where I stand on the subject.

sigh...anywayy...i wish them luck if they go down that route..that's all i've got to give. what else?

I'm hosting a new comedy show with my best bud cara kilduff. I'm really excited we're going to have a blast...bringing the funny every sunday night. You should come..it's only a 1 drink min. that includes sodas for all you drunks.


wendy's half time show.

when in africa....

one must always wear fatigues. I can hear it now "Lourdes, we're going to Africa. Home of our little black David. We must prepare for the journey. No we're not flying JetBlue you know better than that. Make sure you back your fatigues and a hat so you don't get burned by the hot, ass africa sun. Because it's going to be hot, africa hot."

ugh. Alas she's doing good work in her fatigues opening up a center of some sort. Atleast she's not riding a horse and wearing a hat with mosquito netting.

sigh.

hey.

First check out my latest Under the Pink Carpet episode..this was a fun and crazy night..i sound like I'm drunk at the end but believe me I'm not..this is because I was exhausted and loosing my ability to party with the big girls. Alas that evening was a fucking blast. So enjoy and check out the hot celesbians...ha!

It's night time and i'm not at work so i'm feeling slightly more liberated. I haven't been home lately..well wait that sounds weird. I haven't been home alot lately because I've been taking an acting class as well as...being in a play...a sketch group...auditioning...and working for money. So i'm tired but never too tired to enjoy a little free association.

I performed last night at the Postmark Cafe here in BK. It was a really sweet loving show. I did my character Jerri Beige..who is always fun and rude. She insulted alot of people last night but that's just how old people are..saying whatever the hell they want to when they want to..go figure.

Let's see...well this week was quite exciting for black people and white dummies alike. Don Im an ass got fired for forgetting that he was on the radio while having a "good ole boy session." Larry Birkhead is 500 million dollars richer with his lottery ticket that poops. There is a massive storm coming but lucky for me I purchased a utility pump earlier in the week so i can pump out my backyard...ahhhh..spring full of surprises.

i ate a hamburger tonight. It was delicious so go fuck yourself.

so much anger.

I was given the gift of a awesome title for my new show last night.. more on that in the months to come.

I'm looking for representation.

I think i found the farm that my ancestors lived on during slavery.

I love america.

Such fun filled raw history. I'm trying to think of a play idea for this humungus competition because i don't have enough to do.

I hate student loans. It's like being an endentured servant. see i can't even spell because i'm so broke.

The TV is on and I'm not watching it.

I only like two of my ex girlfriends as friends. The other ones suck ass and didn't even do that well.

Ha! That's funny.

I'm listening to the voice in my head.

Jimmy Kimmel is a funny square man. I can't believe Sarah Silverman sucks his dick. That just seems strange but whatever.

I'm going to be the god mother of these two beings, my nephews. Love them.

aha!

I've been wondering why my favorite lesbian bar is now closed. I mean I knew the building got sold and all that but I didn't realize that it was a part of a darker, deeper more evil development plan. Check out the evil work of the Extell Developers...slowly taking over the east village and the Upper West Side.



Looks like the next neighborhood getting the development treatment will be up at the north end of the East Village-- the Extell Corporation has bought up 17 buildings in a fifteen square block area between 10th and 14th Street. You may remember Extell from the building collapse they were involved with last year, their failed Atlantic Yards bid, or the giganormous luxury buildings they're building on the Upper West Side. Though the company claims they're not planning any demolition and redevelopment, neighborhood activists are getting worried:

"This type of acquisition, tenement housing, is a big departure from what Extell has done before," said Steven Herrick, executive director of the Cooper Square Committee, which is helping tenants organize for a Sept. 19 community board hearing on Extell's plans.

"Luxury development is unacceptable in our community, which has historically been primarily the working poor," he said.

We're betting the first towers start going up in early 2007-- companies as large as Extell aren't in business to operate small tenement buildings.

Developers like this try to say they are doing good things, improving the neighborhood, the only improvement would be to get the hell out.

awwww..that's sweet.


michael showalter..dishin it out.


that's him in the far upper left corner.



awwwww. now that's bitter sweet. hello everyone. it's been a while. caught up in lot's of fun things these days..i should be sharing them right? i know, i know. last night i did a show at Union Hall in BK. It was a great show..minus the crazy old man who yelled at one of the comics half way through the show and said he didn't think he was funny. Alas....in comes Michael Showalter. He was the closer and really gave it to the old guy with a nice dose of heavy sarcasism. I was screaming "You're horrible!!!" to the old guy because Micheal offered to give him his money back and the guy actually took it! Did i mention that this was a fundraiser for Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn What an asshole!

i read an interesting book - post traumatic slave syndrome..check it!

vacation was beautiful....i'll put up pics soon.

ciao for now.

hot damn.

I'm a fan of Ellen's. I mean not a huge fan but she's a dyke, I'm a dyke, she's a comic, I'm a comic, she fucks a hot chick, you get the idea. Something about this picture just made me more of a fan. Maybe because she just looks like such a mack. Notice how firmly her hand is around Portia's waste. She's like "yeah, baby, you mine." That's the vibe I get and Portia is so willing and into it. It's super hot this photo. Oh and the fact that Ellen is holding a big ass award having beaten out Queen Oprah. She's so much cooler than Oprah. Who knew America would embrace a lesbian with so much love. God damn it! This makes my week.

In other news..birds have been reported falling from the sky in Australia..which i find horrifying. I also read that they fell from the sky last week in Atlanta. Is this the end of the world? Are the birds trying to tell us something? I don't know but it's just not kosher.

I went on an audition at the Negro Ensemble Theatre Company last night. The oldest black theatre group in new york. It was short and painless. I did a new monologue and the guy said i was memorable. I guess that's good. He shook my hand three times. Does that mean something?

Tonight I'm heading out on the town to see Stomp the Yard with my lady and baron and his lady..yes, that's right a double date. How gay are we? Well we are very gay but baron is gayer because it was his idea. Anyway..i will report back the results of the film. This day needs to fly by because I's tired. I feel like if i just put my head back a litttttle bit i could pass the hell out.

I'm into the show hereos. Not sure why but i do like people with super powers. I was a huge wonderwoman fan and thus...here lies the problem. I wish i had an invisible jet..I used to tell my brothers that i was going to capture them and put them in my jet...la la lal ..i also watched the smurfs about 5 inches from the TV. Problems people problems.

I'm working on a new character to be unveiled in Black History Month. I can't wait.
Uh. Have a nice weekend.

The Kwanzaa Fairy..

ahhh the joys of wearing angel wings and a head wrap.
