Zorba

When I am not working for my money. I pursue my life goal. I am establishing a career as a monologist/writer. This site is full of intriguing people and ideas. It's a gold mine. Are there any other monologist out there. I'd love to talk shop. While developing my monologues I perform as a standup comedian in the Philadelphia area.
My major influences are Bill Hicks, Spalding Gray, Warren Zevon, Lenny Bruce and Mort Sahl. Social Satire and commentary is my direction. I am working to get to the elementary particles, the quarks and neutrinos of this madness we call life. Meaningful? Probably not. Change the world? Highly unlikely. Get rich quick plan? Endless laughter. I do it because it is what I do. I've never ever stayed on track of anything, I live in the tangents. After all, the human line is a tangent off the bush of life, and if there are any answers at all, that is where they lie, off course, unexpected, inhabiting the realms of the absurd. I imagine myself as the guy who, while everyone is sitting around the campfire, starts singing "Love is in the Air" and walks into the flames. I am currently working on two monolgues..one is influenced by Rimbaud's A Season in Hell and that is what I call it. The other is called The Wound...They are not as dark as they sound, in fact you could think of them as comedy monolgues...but I am going for an undertone of the primitive, and dark forces in our nature. I imagine a very low volume background of jungle sounds that would be playing as I perform the monolgue. I will be trying out some material in this journal. Please feel free to comment and critique. I look forward to hearing your opinions.
