People ask me what I’ve been doing the past ten years with my life and I tell them the same thing: going to the library, doing masterclasses, writing stories with pen and paper and taking the occasional film program. The last film program I was in was called inter-story where we learned to video edit using Final Cut by making a five minute animation about our lives. I did well in that small class because in the prior five years I learned how to write comedy, mostly by watching the Simpsons and trying to write my own episode. That class was f...

Me, Nathan, and my two friends, Enid and Wilson, arrived at the swimming pool together. I asked them what they have been up to since we haven't seen each other in a couple days.“All I do is watch movies and read shitty books. What have you been up to Wilson?”, said Enid.“I programmed my door to open when I wave at it,” said Wilson.“That’s lame,” I replied.“Wow that’s kind of cool.”“You’re such a nerd,” I said.“I know I am and I like it,” Wilson proudly exclaimed.We split up to change clothes and then met back up with Enid in the pool. We got...

“You work for me. I want everyone to know that”, shouted Mr. Pondscum. “You belong to me while your uncle isn’t here.” We were on the 50th floor of a New York business sales floor. I came from Canada to work for my uncle who owned this corporation. “Yes sir anything you say.” I replied.“Today will be your training day. You only get one. You have tables to wipe, floors to sweep and food to get. Now go down to 1st avenue and get me a Leo’s bagel.”He said that while eating a bagel but I didn’t question that.“But I came here to be a ma...

Maybe it was the constant dripping sounds from the leaky faucet, or maybe it was my chronic insomnia but I haven’t been able to sleep for a few weeks. I may drift off for a few hours here and there but only after I knocked out during a bar room brawl or something like that.I spoke to a psychologist recently to discover the underlying issue. I asked him if it was related to a past trauma.“Mostly it has to do with decisions you are currently making. Do you have anything in your life you wish you could change”, he asked.“My job, my relationship...

“So, what’s the catch” I asked the car seller. “No, no catch. Just a few issues. Rear wiper won’t work. But the brakes do.” “Wonderful.” “Half the time. All the lights work great. Especially the engine light that one stays on all the time.” “Well for $400 dollars-“ “Heaters start in seconds.” “It is getting colder-” “So long as you don’t mind toxic fumes and headaches that come with it but who’s asking anyways. Not you. So we have a deal.” “Absolutely.” “Hey you aren’t swindling me are ya?” “I don’t need this car for driving. I need to...

At a youth prayer group in a small town, the group leader starts a discussion. “What pets did Jesus have?” “Peter, James and John.” “No what pets animals did he have. Not pet people. How about you Lucy, our newest prayer group attendee.” “Wasn’t he born with a donkey or after a donkey.” “I heard he can make his all animals his pets so he doesn’t keep one. He’ll make one the spot.” “That’s interesting but incorrect answer the leader. “Before you all leave, please shake hands with the person to the left and right of you. Choose a partner and n...

The group performances were all complete and all I had left was my tap solo. It was my time when my knees started shaking. I’ve been dancing since I was 5 and this isn’t my first solo. But I was a kid back then and right now, I feel all alone. All I can see in my mind is how I’m going to embarrass myself. “Please I can’t do this” I kept hearing inside my mind. Tammy, my instructor, believed in me so it was on. They picked “motivation” for my song and I practiced the choreography for months. I changed into my 4th outfit of the day. ...
