Bed: Awwwww, the greatest thing that has ever happend to man, a bed. Correction: the greatest thing that has ever happened to man, a bed with a blacket.

Refrigerator: Always open, always accessible. Who likes a closed refrigerator door anyways? That’s like the Anti- Christ.

Fan–> Obviously made so that the beautiful system, that is I, doesn’t overheat. I’m told that I am not the best guy to be around when I’m extremely hot.

Bedroom Slippers: My favorite footwear. It’s not that I’m lazy, I just like things that’s easy to slip into. Like my always opened fridge.

Toilet: Like my own reverse gas station. Empty my tank, so I can fill up later.

Television: If my bed didn’t have a blanket on it, then this would be God’s greatest gift to man.

Couch: I’m about to cry, because it’s like half of a bed in the living room, someone out there is really trying to make me happy.

Table: Where else to do my fine dining? Unless it’s my bed before I go to sleep.

Stove: Good for the soul, but takes a bit too long to give me what I want. This baby’s like my mistress on the side.

Microwave: On the other hand… this is my wife. With the click of a button, she gives me what I want, in the time I want it. Just like my tv.

Sweatpants: My favorite pants. It’s not that I’m lazy. I just like things that’s easy to slip into.

The title of my project would lead you to believe that I am making fun of fat people, but in actuality, I am talking about myself. My family calls me fat boy or big boy because I eat a lot and still lie around the house doing absolutely nothing. Due to my fast metabolism, I don’t get any bigger. It’ll probably catch up to me but for now I am enjoying living life like I do.

Never Even Letting Me Down

A group of us rush into the theatre at 7:00 o clock on the dot. It’s a small theatre near the corner of the block. It would be hidden by the big buildings and bright lights if it wasn’t for the huge sign proclaiming its name. When I walked into the actual area where the play was going to happen, I was shocked at how small the audience area was. I expected to see a vast amount of people sitting in the audience staring back down at me as I walked in and instead I walked into a place where I could actually see all of the faces of the people in the audience. At the end of the play, I concluded that the size of the audience and how close we were to her in contrast to how far we could’ve been anywhere else were perfect.

I could see her clearly and all her facial expressions shone bright above the crowd even to the back row, which wasn’t even too far away from her. She started without an introduction to what she was going to do and I think that made the play a lot better than if she would’ve introduced it. She just dove right into character. I was especially amazed at the fact that she didn’t even need a lot of time to change into character; she didn’t go backstage or anything. It was a simple pause and change of costume and she was into the next skit. She was comical from the beginning and what her character felt, the crowd felt. I thought she was magnificent in most of her skits. The stage was her “home” and she seemed like she felt extremely comfortable on the stage. It was obvious she had spent massive amounts of time preparing each of the voices, the costumes, and how to use the stage to best represent each of these people. I also liked the ways the mirrors were used. I think they enhanced her message of looking at things through a different light, a different perspective. We could catch her turning we could see different sides of her and it almost always caught my eye. It may have taken a little away from the skits from my eyes sometimes drawing away from her face and to the mirror, but overall, I thought it added more than it took away. I thought the skit with her lying on the couch and seeing her face up close by looking at the mirror was extremely interesting. At first, it caught me off guard but then I enjoyed actually seeing every inch of her face and catching every cringe or every lip twitch. It also helped me to listen to her story more closely because we could see her lips move and hear and see all that she was saying without missing a key. I thought that was the reason why she did that, to make us listen to her message more closely in that skit. It also changed up the norm, because the audience sat there staring at her walk around the stage for a while, so it provided some diversity. The one skit/interview that I thoroughly enjoyed was with Lance Armstrong. Being an athlete, not a professional obviously, but still one, I thought it to be very interesting how an athlete has two deaths. A career/athletic death: the death of so much hard work, diligence, physical empowerment that eventually leads to mental and emotional empowerment. Then you have an actual death: when you stop living and breathing. It was so interesting to think about that and it made me feel sad that I had left my athletic career behind. The other skit that caught me was the last skit. The reason I think it really got to me was because I had absolutely no idea what happened in it, but if she wanted people to think or talk a lot about that skit then she surely did her job. All in all, I think it was a really good perfomance.
