Yesterday, in my One Person Show class, I did a piece that was supposed to be an employee training video thing. To get it right, I spent a full hour before class listening to every single clip of royalty free, motivational, corporate background music they have on YouTube (which is a surprising amount).
Shortly thereafter, I was arrested a few blocks from my apartment. I was apparently found running through the streets, foaming at the mouth, grabbing random people, and screaming at them to synergize or that, if they shoot for the moon, they’ll always end up amongst the stars.
This music is that powerful.
me: jon,
im feeling lethargic
ive lost my get up and go spirit
oh whats this?
Jonathan: I can’t do this zach
I ahve work damnit
and now all I wanna do is overcome my obstacles
me: that picture is something else
I WON THE SUIT RACE
I DID IT
Jonathan: THEY SAID MY BRIEFCASE HANDICAP WOULD DOOM ME
me: BUT I SHOWED THEM
Jonathan: WHO’S GOT A SUCCESSFUL LIFE NOW????????
me: THANKS TO MY “SUCCESFUL LIFE” MP3 ON REPEAT
Jonathan: it also appears that the suit race took place in the sky
me: well after a certain point, he overcame so many obstacles that he had nothing left to overcome
so he overcame gravity
Jonathan: now he’s addicted to overcoming obstacles
always needs bigger, tougher ones
me: he cant stop
Jonathan: 10x the obstacle just to get the same obstacle-overcoming rush
his addiction to overcoming obstacles…. is his greatest obstacle of all
me: and once he realized that
he fell from the sky
suitcase in one hand
1st place in life trophy in the other
he won 1st on the race to the ground…
one final trophy for the trophy room
Jonathan: ….and 1st place in our hearts
