Well haven't been performing a real lot, still Winston's Monday and Friday but rarely doing a set. I did a really good show at the beginning of the month. Been writting a lot and thinking of new ideas but just haven't had an outlet to perform. Did a couple crappy shows last week. The first I was the "headliner," whatever that means. I went up last and performed out front of comedians and a few humans. I had my girlfriend call out some of my older jokes. I tried to remember some. I made the best of an awkward situation. I'm anxious to see how the video came out. I started off good, had a little bit of a lull, then finished moderately strong. Did have a man say he was going to shoot me, which was a first. I went down to check out another show but bailed when I saw another comic there. I'm not real sure why this guy gets under my skin so much. I think it has a lot to do with the ego, and the fact comics salivate over him. All is basically does is be an asshole to audience members. Anyone has the ability to do this, but comics think he's god. He did this on my show the following night. The comics after him were pretty much screwed to do actual jokes because the crowd didn't want to hear jokes and just wanted to be rediculed.
I've decided to give my two weeks notice at home depot. The recent raise of only 30 cents was the last straw. They wanted me to take on more responsibilities for 30 cents more an hour. They take advantage of their workers, and I'm too smart to stand for it. With that said I will try to play poker 4 to 5 days a week, and get back to the grind of doing comedy shows. I haven't really been grinding for the past 6 months to a year. The varying work schedule with depot really effected my sleep, and I felt tired all the time. Which in turn lead to me drinking much more than is responsible. I'm gonna focus on getting my drinking under control and get my life back on track.
I will try to blog a lot more often even if I don't have a show or do much of anything. Today I woke up at 6, as Lindsey had to go to work. I came home and tried to go to sleep, not much luck. Wanted to play poker but just felt out of it. I should have just gone to the gym, but couldn't get the energy. I decided I'm going to try to go for a walk everyday. I don't want to gain weight as a result of leaving home depot. I think if I walk a mile or so everyday it will give me a added boast of energy and caloric burning. I finally made it to the gym, now I'm just vegging out before heading to Lindsey's.
