Losing modivation

Ever since I got the Home Depot job my writing has suffered. I haven't written any new material lately and I just don't enjoy doing old jokes. I'm starting to think stand up maybe isn't for me. Although I can get laughs from the old jokes there's really no rush. When a new jokes works it's the greatest feeling.

I did a set at Winston's tonight. They had the lightening round again, and did it twice. I did well the first one, and kind of bombed the second. It was a really perverted crowd so I tried to do a mature joke, it blew. I can't do that, it's just not me. I recovered pretty well but the number one stand up rule is be yourself.

My 5 minute set went pretty well. I stumbled once, but the crowd seems to love a stumble with a quick recovery. I did the how are you joke and my old field trip joke. I barely do that one, but I think it's smart and relatable. I tried a new joke about the show intervention and I think it went well. I closed with my homeless joke, which I haven't done in awhile and it went well. I'd give the comedy overall on the night B-.

I can't seem to get the same awesome set I had at the Ruby Room. Obviously that was a bigger show, but I want to make the leap.

As far as life. I got sun burnt and my chest is itching like crazy, it's really annoying. I'm so lame in the sense, I complain about having no friends and then get invited out and don't go. Oh, and some bastard stole the year sticker on my license plate. So that's pretty annoying.

I kind of enjoy the Home Depot job, even though my feet kill me every night. Also, it seems I'm not going to get 40 hours for awhile. I don't really want to get another job, unless it's a weekend shift at a radio station.

One minute I want to move back to Maine the next I want to stay. I think I'm going to stay until next March and reevaluate it all. I'm not ready to jump back into the Maine winter. San Diego is beautiful, but unless you want to do sales, you have very little chance to be successful.

Blah, Blah, enough serious crap. I should just move back and open a bar. Cheers.

Observation of the day: Why the hell do I keep losing weight in my legs, but my man boobs and gut are still in full force?
