Paradox…
Don’t quite know why I wrote that word, really I don’t know why at all. I guess my mind is a little scattered today. It seemed like a fun word to write at the time, and for what I have down currently, is the most interesting word on this page. I feel like I am a paradox. Human beings are paradoxes. We are inconsistent people, who in each of us, exists a possible truth to the puzzle of life.
That got a little grandiose. Lets scale it back to reality here.
There is a new comedy club in the city. I guess it is called the LOL Comedy club. I am curious to see if it is something I should check out. I need some tests and maybe if I get in at the ground floor, I can work out and get better at this comedy thing in a different environment.
That may be what I want right now, but honestly, I am still working on the jokes that will get me over the hump of 5 minutes. I feel like I am getting closer, but still, there are some holes, and with each bit getting funnier and more poignant, I start to see potential holes in the others.
This is happening. And it is making me a better comedian right now, I can feel it. There is a tone when I get up on stage now. There is a cadence. It is starting to feel like an act that is worth showcasing. Now I just need the jokes to start catching up to the persona.
I did alright at the mic last night. It was interesting, because I worked out some bits that may be circling the drain. From them I made another leap – some smaller things jumped out that make those bits even better.
I also arrive back at my subway bit. It is growing to be about NYC and its absurdity. There is a front part to the bit, and I enjoy it being there. It makes the joke funnier. It is almost audition ready, which would put it in between my opener and closer to make a decent 5 minute set.
2 and a half years for just 5 minutes. I think I am almost there.
Did a 24 hour cleanse. I feel better, although mentally I am a bit lost. I have a fit of Hazy brain. My breath smelled better so I am thinking that it is coming from my stomach. After a day of nothing, it worked a lot of the things inside, out. Now I have to get some medical closure on this, so next time I can work from home, ill get it.
Habit Day is tomorrow. I plan on focusing on hygeine. I want to establish a surefire method of waking up and getting dressed as cleanly and as quickly as possible. I think this will get me to have a solid jump on my day and I will be able to get a little more done before work.
Habits are interesting to me now. I recently got a new book on the habit of great men and women. I want to explore this topic, becuase people like Kafka and Hemingway produced some of the greatest thigns human beings cherish, and if I can learn anything on how they worked, I think I will be putting myself on the right track.
Byron is coming this weekend. He will be crashing on the couch. I am getting him his keys. Hopefully he can get a handle on what is up here. I worry about the kid. I will advise him to slow down on his purchasing for now, and get an idea of what he needs.
I hope he has the money and finds something he is looking for up here. I want the best for him. Like a little brother.
