Ok, I had to look it up online. The definition of a blog is "Blog is short for weblog. A weblog is a journal (or newsletter) that is frequently updated and intended for general public consumption. Blogs generally represent the personality of the author or the Web site." The last time I updated this was May. It is now December. I guess that I can't really call this a blog if it is infrequently updated. It is more of a "It's kinda fun to do this every once in a while, but then I forget about it for half a year then come back and try to be funny in it...log." Ahh well, here it goes.

So yes, it has been a while. Let's see, where did I end off last time. Oh, yes, talking about absolutely nothing. So why stop now? Over the summer I got kinda burned out with comedy. I played the same two rooms all summer long. The audiences never got above 15 people, and that was the good night. Good comedy needs a bigger audience. If you are playing to 10 people, nobody wants to laugh out loud and possibly be heard by the comic who will then pick on them for the show. So everyone kinda laughs to themselves and the comic goes home and contemplates suicide again, calling himself a pussy for not being able to do it the previous week and maybe now he can be a real f-ing man and finally finish something he started. At least, that is what I have been told.

So anyway, I have taken a break. I am not out actively seeking gigs or hitting the open mics trying to be seen. Rather, I am just staying at home and wondering why I am not out actively seeking gigs or hitting the open mics and trying to be seen. I will do gigs when friends of mine ask me if I am interested in doing a show with them, but that's about it. And they aren't asking very often. It was kind of nice at first having my Friday and Saturday nights free, but then I really started to miss it, especially lately. I have been trying to write some bits, but I just can't seem to get motivated. I have a lot of what I think are funny premises, but when I sit down to try to write out the funny...nothing. I get this really bad A.D.D. where I am distracted by anything and everything. Oh, look! There is a dog across the street taking a crap. Oh, hey! There is the mailman across the street taking a crap. Look at that! There is a mailman taking a crap of a dog taking a crap! Damn this A.D.D.! How am I supposed to get anything done?

I guess that I should sum up what else I did over the summer...I got a new job, I went to Germany for two weeks, and I didn't update my blog...The End. I just need to sit down and force myself to write these new bits. No matter what is taking a crap across the street, I just need to write it all out and hope that the funny comes. Now that I have started to write in this blog thing again, I will try to keep up with it as often as possible...even if it is to just tell you all about what is happening on the lawn across the street.
