Sooooo... how are those resolutions going?

Well, I'm two for four, so fuck off. I backed off the religious jokes and I've been going to the punchline every Sunday with the exception of the two weekends I've been out of town. I've decided that I'm not learning so much that I can post to this thing 1+ times a week these little insights and nuggets of pure comedy gold, so instead I'm just going to drop by and drop some brass turds every once in a while.

Some updates while I've left you, my beloved reader, hanging: I entered the Rooster T. Feathers comedy competition. It's the biggest and baddest competition between San Carlos and South San Francicsco... that is to say, the only one. However, it does bring in some stiff competitors. However, I made it through the first round! It was my tightest set ever, and it kept the crowd laughing the whole way through. I would post the video but my stoned friend forgot to press the play button. Round 2 for me is on April 15th, so I'll try to make sure that gets recorded... I know how badly you all are waiting for my next upload.

Other than that, I think I'm just going to start posting my jokes here, and asking for feedback. It seems a little cheap to crowdsource my comedy, but fuck it, what else am I putting up here. Besides, my jokes are going online one way or the other, I might as well find out what people think suck about them. I'll start next week... probably... no promises.

New Years Resolutions

So, January 1st is as worthless and pointless a day as any other to start doing something to make yourself "better" or get closer to some ultimate goal. That said, since all days are equally arbitrary, why not start when the Julian calendar ticks over. 

1) Go to the Punchline Sunday Showcase at least 3 Sundays a month. As the legend goes, you need to go consistently for 8 - 12 months before they will put you on the showcase, then an indeterminate amount of times until you may or may not get to be the opening act for a 3rd rate comedian on a Thursday night.

2) Back away from the religious jokes. They seem to freak people out when I make fun of god and Jesus. I mean, I'm pretty sure Jesus used to talk dirty in bed, so why can't I imagine what he would've said? Too soon?

3) Post to the blog at least once a week. I need to keep it current so that the 0 people who read it know how my fledgling joke of an attempt at comedy is going.

4)  Make this blog funnier. Much like my comedy career thus far, this thing is painful to sit through at times. 

There you have it. I'll keep you posted as I fail miserably at these.
