We drank Stella and did our time ...Doing stand up is like getting high...but its always a different high...its like the audience passes you the drug...some nights its like a Tylenol caplet that lets go in your throat and it burns...And some nights...its like lorazipan ( I can't spell drug names and I am ok with that)I played a college gig on Friday...and on my way...there from the overpass ahead...a jumper! and as I drove by in my fast car, my short skirt, and loud music...I was bolted into that instant feeling of "what the fuck?" I was an asshole on stage, death freaks me out. Suicide is different..its not death, its freedom for some.After the gig I came home ...walked to an Indian restaurant with the man of my dreams, drank too much beer, ate too much spice, and paid too much for the cab ride home.I love my life!Shelley Makes the Next Move!Well its off to Toronto...the next step in the evolution of a Comic!...Actress?...Mid Life Crisis?I don't know!!But I am off, off to a city that will give me the opportunity to perform any night of the week! endless amounts of Classes...I am already registered for an Attention Deficit Disorder Yoga Class for Aries over 40!

I'll miss the newspaper thrown in my driveway, and the 1 kid that showed up on Halloween. I'll miss this darling little road...but I am READY!!and here I come!!
