The Beginning of the OttawEnd

Recent events leading to major life changes have motivated me to take up blogging again. Although I'm not entirely certain I should stick with this particular blog because of its' ties to the past.

But I'm attached to the title, and it makes particular sense to keep it now considering it is kindof an homage to some of the comedic heroes of my youth.

On that note, I've recently been accepted into Humber College's Comedy: Writing and Performance program for this coming Fall, which inevitably means two things:

1) I'll be moving to Toronto;
2) My life in Ottawa has been a joke (and will be the source of many to come!)

I've heard both positive and negative reviews of the program, but my goal is to maintain a good attitude, to give it my all and hope for the best and hopefully the worst that might happen is that I'll end up as a substitute drama teacher, working only often enough to pay for rent and cat food.

That being said, the next few months are going to be huge a HUGE transition for me. After having lived in Ottawa since coming to school here in the Fall of 2003, I've come to know the city, its' people and its' public transportation system very well. It's going to be very difficult saying "Goodbye and Thank You/Merci et au revoir" to the Nation's Capital.

To anyone reading out there, I'll appreciate your kind words throughout this very bumpy ride.

Bring on the Big Smoke!
