Stand Up Comedy Discipline
What’s the difference between a good comedian and a not-so-good comedian? Jokes, folks. A comedian without jokes is like a cat without claws and eyes. It’s not much of a cat, really. If a comedian is going to survive and (potentially) thrive, he’s got to develop jokes. As I’ve mentioned before, the quality of [...]
My Stand Up Routine
Thus far, I have managed to accomplish some work in the field of stand up comedy. By “some work”, of course, I mean “I have made a complete ass of myself”.

Without goals, a person will wander aimlessly throughout time disregarding agendas and personal achievement.

When he can’t explain a particular thing, he makes it up. When he’s ready to turn myth into fact, man disregards his [...]
Getting Procrastination Done
As I’ve mentioned before, I want to be a comedian. It’s the basis of this website. I love making people laugh. I love being the center of attention. It’s something that I constantly think and dream about. I feel an unencumbered power when planets align and I capture the attention of an entire crowd. I [...]
