About Me

I'm not the one and only Mike Lawrence, because I've checked and seen that there are many others. One, in fact, is a professional bridge player. And a few of them are dead. Poor Mike Lawrences, who will mourn for thee? I am, however, the only Mike Lawrence I personally know, and perhaps will be the only Mike Lawrence you personally know. And no, I'm not related to Joey Lawrence (Whoa!!) or Martin Lawrence, or Lawrence of Arabia. What I am is, essentially, a writer. Even my field of study, english education, is all about writing. When I don't write, I study ways on how I'm going to teach it once I'm in the classroom. I write poetry, essays, blogs (My blog is amazing in a sad, sad way), country songs about terrorist, and screenplays. I'm actually filming a movie now with a good friend of mine, and have just begun my foray into stand-up. Basically, I'm one of those artsy bohemian types, like in Rent, except I don't sing. Or die of AIDs. You know the kind of sensitive, creative guy women say they want when their in their teens but don't find until after their second marriage has failed and they're in their thirties, wondering why life has past them by? Yeah, that's me, waiting in the distance for my time.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Someone who actually does what they believe in. Someone who hasn't betrayed their ideals. Someone who hasn't grown up but has accepted what they need to do to do what they want to do. Someone who can understand that last sentence. Someone that will laugh at my jokes behind my back. Someone who will cry in front of me. Someone with ideas and the actions to fuel those ideas. Someone who challenges me to be smarter. I want to have to keep up with someone. I want to feel young and naive. I know you're out there. And so am I.

I got to the comic-con today at 11 with my pal comedian Joe Dixon. Matt was already inside the Stan Lee panel saving us seats. And yes, I mean that Stan Lee. I got to see Stan Lee!! LIVE!!!!! It was p...

The Wrath of Con! Part 1 of 3

One of the perks, or perhaps the only perk of working with CTI convention staffing is that if you work a show you get to get into it for free. Generally it doesn't mean much since most of the shows ar...

Working Hard or Hardly Working

I'm barely scraping by with money but things have been going well with comedy. Sort of. I've been doing pretty well on the shows I've gotten, including one tonight. Some really tough rooms recently wh...

something for something

I often find myself loving rap choruses while hating all the rapping in a song. For instance Lupe Fiasco’s "Superstar". The chorus has a catchy hook and strong vocals, but I can’t stand th...

What was once so simple

I remember when I used to blog maybe once, sometimes three times a day. It was easy. I felt like i could blog about anything. Which is a far place from where I am now. I’ve never had so many sub...

In the stars

So I’ve read a lot of comic books in recent months. Here’s some of my quick thoughts on them along with a 0-4 star rating. These are all trade paperbacks-Batman: No Man’s Land 5: No ...

Really? Really?

At least once a year I watch an episode of SNL. I think it’s out of loyalty to the old days when I was a huge fan. It’s certainly not out of any loyalty to the show now. I really think SNL...

I support Barack Obama

The subject header pretty much says it all. I’ll admit I don’t exactly know as much as I should on his policies, or where he stands, but deep down inside I’m a sucker for the message...

Axing questions

I haven’t blogged in a while. I think I’ve had and lost two jobs in the span of when I last blogged. I think. I made enough money to make another two months rent but at the same time, I&rs...
