Wiseacres, 4/1/04. First time on stage in 5 months, first time since I emotionally disassembled onstage and cancelled all my gigs.
Since then, I've taken full ongoing responsibility for my emotional well-being and self-esteem.
I was ready to say goodbye last night if I didn't feel performing was worth the trouble anymore. The important thing was I wasn't dependent on the audience for any emotional need, because I hit the stage with my emotional needs fully met.
Stomped ass. Got through less than 2/3 of my set for the laughing and applauding. The wisdom I've been fortunate to receive from others is creating ecstatic outcomes onstage.
Compared to the amount of attention and interest I used to command from audiences, I am Ming the Merciless, commanding them to dance with my hypno-ring.
They also enjoyed the bit about teaching cats to wrestle.
Televisual Orgasm Facilitators* who please me are eligible for a CD-ROM of this set, free shipping, no ads, no extra files, no foolin'.
