The passion of the Lawrence.

How about we Just totally ignore the fact that I haven't blogged for the last couple of months...preciate it."

What have I been up to?




I know what some people are thinking, and No I haven't been busy being attracted to 16 year old Australians. (Friendly reminder: 16 will get you 25...unless you're a grammy award winner)

Jessica Watson is attempting to become the youngest person to sail around the world unassisted. Do you know what that means son? That means for 8 months, she's gonna be rocking, reeling, and crapping all on this tiny sail boat.

Being 16 is quite young and part of me thinks her parents are retarded for allowing this, however, she has already logged over 10 thousands hours as a yacht master and has been sailing since a lad (don't they call kids lads in Australia). Another part of me thinks her parents are dope. They have equipped her daughter with more than enough of the necessities (tracking systems, food, satellite communications devices) - isn't that really what parents are here for?

I think the Jessica Watson story is one of Faith and fearlessness. She not only believes in herself, but she loves sailing so much, she's willing to risk her life and her comfort for eight continuous months. That's remarkable, I guarantee you, this will be the hardest thing she'll ever have to do in her life...but after this period of storms, loneliness, restlessness , she'll be set for life!

We can learn a lot from wee ones. Young people are relentless and fearless.

So I'm taking a page out of the old Jessica Watson handbook, I'm relocating to DC and devoting myself to comedy...hitin' open mic's, barbecues, bar mitzvah's and all. Hopefully this will give me some great experience...and in 10 years maybe I can be somebody!
