Happy Father's day. I called mine when I woke up this morning, he sounded ok. He is basically the negative old man that I am. Seems he wants to retire and get some little job to keep him busy. Whatever makes him happy. But as he's like me, well I'm probably like him, even if everything in his life was going amazing he still wouldn't be happy. I never met my great grandfather but I'd like to know when the negative gene started. I sometimes wonder how the hell my parents met. My dad is business, no gossip, and my mother is the most chatty, cheerful woman on the planet. I guess they balance each other. I don't know if I could stand such a chipper lady day in and day out. Probably have to drink even more than I do now.

And the up and down of comedy continues. I didn't have an awful set, but it wasn't my best. My comfort level and pacing is getting a lot better, which I'm happy about. The crowd was pretty small but I did ok. I made a fellow comic laugh, a lot and loudly, so that was pretty cool. She's a she, and she is a dang fine looking lady. I'd give my set a C.

The open mic host was kinda a douche and that was pretty pathetic. One of the open mic comics made fun of him, which is obviously stupid, but he turned into a dink to the other open mic comics. He said something to the effect of, "This isn't as good as the Saturday night comics, sorry about that." First off obviously not, they're OPEN MIC COMICS. The crowd paid zero dollars, and a lot of people have been doing comedy for a few months. You've probably been doing it for years, and are the host at open mic night, wow, you're really moving up. There's so much politics and kissing up in the underground open mic scene it's so lame. We're all trying to make it, no need to be a douche and turn the crowd away. I don't know I enjoy doing comedy, but it's a marathon not a sprint. Success isn't gonna happen over night, and we all should be supporting each other. Whatever....

So after the most pointless orientation 7 hours of my life, I start training at Home Depot tomorrow. It should be fun. I kinda feel like it's the first day of school tomorrow. I haven't taken this much time off from working since I started when I was 14. It seems I may only be part time, so I'm still looking for other stuff.

Observation of the day: Stop riding your gosh damn brakes, honestly. I think we should get one chance to ram into those bastards without our insurance going up.
