A Good Comeback?
One of the most common human situations is the, “I wish I had thought to say…” situation.
Has that ever happened to you? Someone says something that is wrong, or ignorant, or just mean. A crushing comeback is called for. When we should be at our most eloquent, we are often at our most incoherent.
At the moment we are stunned. We can’t even make sense of what we are saying – or the best we can come up with is some lame playground riposte, that is childish enough to make Pee Wee Herman proud. Or worst of all, we are totally tongue tied. We stand there like freshly-caught fish, opening and closing our mouths with nothing coming out.
Only later do we think, “ I wish I had thought to say…”.
To the Rescue
Finally, someone is doing something to help. And of course, it is someone with one foot in the hip hop community and one foot in the theater community.
The Freestyle Love Supreme Academy was created to help everyone learn to freestyle., so that no one ever needs to be at a loss for words ever again.
I heard about this and thought it was a great idea. Some of our collective members have enrolled in the Freestyle Love Supreme Academy’s Foundations of Freestyle class. So, beginning this week and running for the next eight weeks, some of us will be adding to our skill set.
Everyone is excited! We’ll have a report on how things went in a future blog.
Everybody needs a better comeback. 😉
