I have only had one steady girlfriend my entire life. There are moments where I love her to death and cannot see myself without her. Then there are moments I can’t stand her and want to breakup.
After being dedicated for so many years and doing what I am supposed to as a man. I have decided I’m not gonna take her shit no more; a man can only take so much. So if she wants me to propose and marry her then she needs to uphold her end of the relationship; making sure I make it!
Her name; Comedy!
I host Crack em Up Thursdays at the Comedy Store in Hollywood. Every Thursday as I wait by the stairs to be brought up I do three things: thank God, think about my beautiful daughters and give a silent respect to both the audience and my fellow comedians.
This past Thursday as I am waiting by the stairs to be brought up I look at all the comedians talk and joke with one another while sipping on my water with lemon. That’s when it hits me; one of my good friends; an undiscovered talent with exceptional insight; an individual who truly embraced the depths of the comedy life style will no longer be on the grind with me; Angelo Bowers.
I’m personally not enjoying having to pay my respects to Angelo’s spirit, nor accepting the fact that I will no longer have the opportunity to acquire new memories with him. He was not only a comedian I admired, but a true friend. We looked out for one another and shared a common passion.
Life is life; therefore, nothing is promised. So as we live our life, we should all respect one another and appreciate the time we have together.
Rest in Peace Angelo. You and your comedy will be sorely missed!
Don’t judge me, but I watched a Sex and the City marathon to get close to a chick.
I’m in line at the bank waiting to make a deposit and this beautiful girl comes and stands behind me. I could tell she was in a bit of a rush so I asked, “Did you want to go before me?” She smiled and replied, “You don’t mind?” Playing it cool I said, “Nah go ahead.” Her eyes beamed and a smile emerged. As we exchange places she says, “Thank you so much I’m trying to get back home because the Sex and the City marathon is on; Carie and Mr. Big are having an affair.” There was something about her smile and passion. Before I knew it I responded by saying, “Wwwwwhhhaaaatttt, the marathon is on today?” Jumping up and down excitedly she says, “Yeah, they’re airing all the seasons!” Before I could say anything the teller calls, “Next!” She flashes me another smile and skips over to make her deposit.
I go back home and turn on the Sex and the City marathon. I watch Carie and her three friends until its time to hit up open mic.
What we do for women!
| I’m not that dude who thinks about or is trying to settle down with just one woman. I don’t know if it’s because of my personal experiences, my parents getting divorced when I was eight, or how difficult dating has become, but the idea of falling in love with just one woman forever has always been farfetched to me.But the other day I was at a restaurant eating and going over a script my agent sent me and for whatever reason I kept watching this elderly couple laughing and being affectionate with one another. I don’t know what it was, but for the first time I was like I want to be that dude who has a wife that sends me to the store to get her coffee, that moves my stuff and I get annoyed but I still love her, a wife that I can be happy with forever.
I love women, but I am getting tired of not having the “one”. |
When you pursue a career like comedy it is imperative to understand that it is rooted in timing. The time it takes to setup a joke; the timing of your punch line; the length of time to spend on an act out; the total amount of time you have on stage to interact with your audience.
Recently my daughter asked, “Dad when are you going to make it in comedy?” When she asked me that I felt this sense of urgency to make it because the last thing you want as a father is for your own children to see you fail or to feel as though you made sacrifices with no true outcome.
When a comedian gets on stage he or she typically has between five to twenty minutes to capture an audience’s attention, keep it, and be remembered. In order for this to be accomplished one must not procrastinate and I am a procrastinator!
Procrastination is one of the things that hold me back from reaching my full potential; therefore, I have decided to stop procrastinating and do whatever is necessary to not only establish myself as a comedian, but more importantly to be a role model for my daughters.
A dream is one of the most powerful entities in the world. The information and actions extended while you are in pursuit surfaces the truth about who you are, the way in which you think, and what contributes to your overall happiness. More personally, it is God’s invitation for you to become more acquainted with your purpose in life and the impact you will have on others.
You reach a point in your life when your dream becomes an arbitrary thought; therefore, the need to make it come true and live it becomes your number one priority.
I am thankful that my dream of becoming a comedian came true for I have been blessed with an authentic talent for making one laugh, evaporate from a problem even if it is for a subtle moment, and see life from a different perspective; however, my dream is rooted in wanting to be a role model to the most important people in my life; my two beautiful daughters.
I am DC Ervin; my dream is only the beginning.
