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.

Hey Jessie, would you be interested in coming to Monetery to do some open mikes on either Fridays or Saturdays... I am working with a club owner here at the planet to res erect it here. This week I am being featured for the headlining Rene Hicks

Hi Jesse,

I like your blog post. The heckler vs Joe Kloeck was very funny and a good showing of 1) Stand up comedy is not for everybody 2) Joe was brilliant at improvisation, obviously he's been around. It reminded me of a time when I attempted to do stand up comedy, only trouble was I had not fully rehearsed my jokes er hm, being on the stage was like suddenly being beamed up on a spaceship then transported to a completely different location in front of an audience of aliens! Hello? How did I get here???

Thanks
Colin
