I am getting the distinct impression that the universe does not care if i am sad...or happy.  So, my plan of the last 30 years to teach the world a lesson with my petulance (and other well-crafted behaviors) has been wasted in an auditorium without an audience.  My fellow actors, brothers and sisters, look out past the stage lights - there is nobody in the seats, empty.  No one is watching and i am giving the performance of a lifetime here!  Have you ever heard an off-stage laugh, or a gasp, or the sniffle that accompanies a tear?  Have you received any applause, or boos?  No, me neither.  Fortunately for me, I don't worry about the accolades; I am in it for the love of the craft.  Bravo.
