Off-Off Broadway…Stupid Boi

Just let me take you down a path… I am eternally the actor. I am always changing, shifting, delivering the right line on cue. The right place at the right time. Well the lights have been hung and the curtain drawn and now it is show time….so here we go another show, another night…

There are some major players in this epic tale of Stupid Boi. There are always many roles that need to be played in a drama. Where there is a protagonist there is an antagonist. Well in this show the only antagonist is love. You see our fair hero seems to give it away like it was going out of style. He just has to find an object for his affection. Right now there is at least three!

Now, we cannot decide if our hero is just some emo soul who feels every cut deeply or is he the beacon of hope in a world gone mad. You see there is no clear cut definition for him. See he is this great personality with the charisma to match, but much like any super hero there is meek and shy side. That uncertainty is what is the driving force behind his success. So let me introduce the supporting cast:

There is the always there side kick. The one who has always stood behind the hero dealing with her own issues. Then there is "batgirl" type character. The one who really isn't a side kick, the lone wolf. This is the one who admires the successes of our hero, but chooses the blind path of his own.

Then there is the damsel in distress! You see this is where the conflict begins. There are too many to choose. The most perfect one is too out of reach. They also don't even know how much our hero has fallen for him. There is only one problem! Our hero also has feelings for someone else. These feelings leave and come back…walking away every time gets harder to do. You see this other person has feelings for our hero too…there problem is that they won't admit too it. They want to act as though everything is great, grand, and that the friendship will sustain them.

I guess that is why I am in such turmoil. Just one moment in love with this person is like that perfect monologue that makes you understand why you have a heart in the first place. I know what you are all gonna say…and yes I have said something to this person. Then you turn and there is the other one who adores you, tells you that you are perfect just the way you are. Their line delivery is perfect! When he texts your heart melts. However, both of these people are out of reach…so you are alone. Sitting in you apartment listening to Chaka Kahn, have a romantic evening with text message conversation.

Then just when you thought you had it all figured out…Puck comes out and plays his tricks. One lover in love with the wrong lover. While the whole wide world spins around you. Then fade to black…and you are left confused, lonely, and wondering what will ever happen to our hero. Have we found his Kryptonite? Will this be the end our hero? Tune in next week and find out!


XOXO,

Stupid Boi
