Hey life, throw me a bone...

So I've had one of my best weeks of stand up since I started. Last night at Winston's was really awesome, minus the fact one of my comedy buds claimed I hacked his joke. He's trying to say basically he owns all "how many (blank) does it take to screw in a lightbulb joke." I have no problem with him saying this, I didn't steal his jokes, nor did I ever hear him say any. I worked with my friend playing the guitar again, and the lightbulb jokes were just a small part of it. There was maybe 75 people in Winston's and all of them were silent listening to us. It was one of the greatest feelings of my life. I also tried two new jokes that both went well.

Also, like I've said Home Depot made me full time, and I have benefits etc, I guess that's good.

And the bad. Poker has been god awful the last 2 days. I can't say I played my absolute best, but I've been getting extremely unlucky. I'm down 680$ in the past 2 days. Everyone is hitting everything, and I can't hit a thing. It's crazy how bad luck runs in streaks. When we first came to San Diego, we won every night playing blackjack, then bang I can't win. EVER!!! If I play blackjack now I lose every big hand I play.

Also the love life. Still stagnant. There was a gal I thought had potential, but she's clearly still not over the last guy she dated. I seriously can't think of the last time I was completely happy since I've been in San Diego. Well to be honest I can't remember the last time I was totally happy in my entire life. If I had to guess it was August of 06, we were playing blackjack. I made about 400$ in 10 minutes, and said I was going to stop because I made enough money to buy my girlfriend a flight to visit. Pretty sad that was the last time. I would have to say I was pretty happy when we were in Maine, and the last time I was in Vegas. I just need to figure out this life thing. It's crazy how one week I'm ready to quit comedy and move to Vegas, and the next I'm ready to quit the depot and move to L.A. to pursue comedy. L.A. is prolly the place to be as it has both poker and comedy, and is even closer to Vegas. I just enjoy the SD weather and like the people I've met so far. I can't say I'm a big fish in a small pond quite yet, but I'd say I'm at least a fish that if caught I wouldn't immediately be thrown back. I just want to wake up happy.
