I love my dog

I have a dog. His name is Bruno. He is a few weeks from his 7th birthday. He loves chasing tennis balls and going for walks on the beach. He loves small children and is the best friend a person could ask for.
Bruno has cancer.

A year or so ago his back right leg started swelling. It was a strange bump and when he went to the vet, they said there was nothing there. That it was probably arthritis. A year later, it turns out that he has a type of cancer that forms on the bone. His whole leg is swollen. They have done tests and he is anxiously awaiting the results. There is hope that the cancer has not spread, but if it has...well, that bridge will be crossed when he arrives there.

Bruno is the most incredible dog. He is lovable, kind, friendly, and never ever snapped at anyone. He has the kindest soul. And my heart is breaking. My best friend is sick and I wish I could make the sickness go away. I would do anything to make him feel better. I love my dog <3

I am not a writer

I am not a writer

Creativity doesn't flow through me

Literature doesn't fill my soul

Words do not fulfill me

Theatre does not make me

Poetry doesn't help me grow

I am not a writer

The words I create are not profound

It's something I just know.

Funny Haha!

Ok, so for many many years I have been told that I am funny. When people meet me for the first time, they always look at me and say, "Oh gosh but you're funny!" I don't know what I do that seems to make people laugh so much. Usually, I'm just relaying a story that  happened to me in the past (my life can be that ridiculous yes), and people seem to love that.

My older brother, Tristan, has mentioned to me more than once that I should go into stand-up comedy. During the National Arts Festival, he urged me to sign up for the amateur open-mic night. I was absolutely petrified and said no!! But it's gotten me thinking... I wonder if I could be the next Barry Hilton, Jimmy Carr, or Eddie Izzard (just with boobs and a pretty face). It has been playing over and over again in my head, and I have taken to writing down the things I say that seem to make my family laugh. Who knows, perhaps one day I could be performing in front of a live audience.

I am not a comedic writer though, I will admit. That is not a skill I have - to entertain through writing. However, my performance skills are (apparently) quite good. My delivery of jokes and stories are what I do best.

Fingers crossed and will keep you posted on how this all plays out....
