Comedy Night

yo,

yesterday night, one of our interns got a gig at this comedy place in Chinatown. There were other Muscians and comedians! some of them were good and some of them were bad..lol But she stole the show! her name popped up everywhere that whole night.

Even though it was a comedy show....by the end of the night, i was pretty sad. Just from their comedic acts, you can see what their lives were like. The comedians had to bring themselves down or bring other people down just to get laughs. The need for cussing and sex to get laughs. The main performer, she was the saddest of them all. She was a very angry person. Her whole comedic act was bringing herself down and bringing others down. Instead of bringing laughter, she just flowed out negativity and anger. At the end of her skit, i wanted to run after her and give her a hug and a KGP..haha

Ive seen many comedy skits on Comedy Central. But to actually see ordinary people perform...its different.

....even though it was a night full of vulgarity, im glad i went. One, because i got to see our intern perform her songs. Two, i really saw the great need for people. Yesterday night, i got a glimpse of NYC... US.....even the world.

It gave me more incentive to reach out to people. A greater passion to let people know there is more to life than sex, drugs, relationships, drinking, partying. There is meaning to life. There is love. There is grace.

I want to be a part of the world and yet not be OF the world. How can we be a part of changing culture, and yet still BE with people?

BTW, happy independence day! Its the day the US got their independenc! But it also makes me remember the day I got saved. The day i was set free from the bondage of sin. To me, it gives this day more meaning.
