Man On A Wire

A high wire that is. A very high, very skinny wire. With no net underneath and only an umbrella in hand to help balance him out. That's an accurate image of what life is like. Good thing I found out at PT training that I've got super good balance. You have to be able to balance if you want to get anywhere in life. You never get to do just one thing at a time, you have to split your focus and accomplish everything in front of you. And still mean something to the people around you. You can't just walk across the wire, you have to entertain while you walk across the wire, you have to giv'em a show. I don't need training to know how to do that. I've been getting reactions since I was just a little dude. Lately I've learned just how important it is to keep them entertained. People depend on it, they get upset when I'm not getting smile or turning a laugh. It's expected of me to walk the wire and play clown face at the same time, that can make it a little more tiring. I don't mind having everyone around me think I'm funny and cheerful, I could be remembered for that, but I can't paint a smile on everyday of every week. When someone is forced to do that, bad things can happen. That's when my Harley Quinn personality traits surface, and that's always dangerous. I use to be able to handle it better because when I was sleeping everyone else was, but now my sleeping time is everyone else's show time. So I'm supposed to have my stage make up and umbrella with me at all times, no breaks and no cancellations. Rough stuff indeed. I remember a couple months back when I wrote about having a "nice umbrella", and I would just like to say I called that one perfectly. I had a good idea of how it was all going to play out, and like usual, I hit the nail on its head. With my big over sized, comically proportioned sledge hammer. And then I shot my pistol off, but the only thing that came out was a flag that said "bang" on it. The audience loves that one. Let's just hope I can continue to balance my 3rd-shift-3-ring-circus life. All's well as long as the pistol keeps shooting flags only. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
