My messy mission statement

By Tarable | February 5, 2008

I was talking to a friend about my return to the stage and some of the fears I had. She suggested I write down why I wanted to get back up there. Without worrying about how it would sound, I scribbled my reasons for wanting to try stand-up comedy again. My hope is that perhaps, by making the list public, it will serve as a reminder of why I’m subjecting myself to the torture of trying to make strangers laugh. Again.

It’s happening soon. Excuse me while I go work on some new material.

    Tara - how’d it go? I loved your reasons for doing stand-up again. They have inspired me; not the first time you’ve done this, I will add. I love your blogs. I also visited the queen of spain’s blog - also enjoyable. What the heck is a widget? I find myself getting lost easily in blogland. There are so many links to so many people’s stuff, that after many minutes, I’ve strayed far from the original site I wanted to explore (your’s, namely). This can be good, I realize, but my brain hurts, and I feel like a kid who got pushed on to the wrong bus or something.

    Our “Stand-up suicide” pact worked! It was exciting and an honor to be your “First time back stand-up buddy” Thanks for dragging me into it. I’ll definitely be going again.
