I headeded over to the Bistro for some Monday Night shenanigans only to find Sarah the bartender alone watching the Olymipics (womens' snowboarding, mainly) and the latest in the Bachelor reality TV series. Throughout the next hour, we flipped back and forth between the channels, and I organized some joke note cards. There was no show, although if there had been, I can assure you, I would have killed. I thought of this new joke, well, let's just say "straight to the top, baby". Yeah.
The great thing about having a blog is people sometimes comment on stuff I write; the bad thing about a blog is, I don't really do anything that doesn't go in my blog, so I usually don't haven anything to talk about that people (who read my blog) haven't already read (in my blog). On the topic of "The Joke", I've gotten quite a few messages/emails about people saying they respect me for doing the joke; maybe they think I'm gutsy, maybe they think it's funny, maybe they're just racist. I have no idea. On the other side of the spectrum; people have said such stuff as "I don't like it", "it's not your style" and "You're gonna DIE! You DEAD! You're gonna DIE!"1. Both sides have a point. (¿). But someone else said they wouldn't say that on stage, because there's too much of a chance everything could go wrong, and there's no point in risking it. And that made sense to me; I don't want to take that kind of risks with my possible career. And besides, I seemed to have forgotten a very cardinal rule; it a joke's not that funny, you should stop doing it. So much like Michael Jordon and his baseball career, I'm going to retire "the joke" because it's not going anywhere in the long run. Like I said before, I wouldn't do it opening anywhere, and it'll be a while before I feature, so I might as well drop the joke and concentrate on new stuff.
I swimming at the gym today and I realized there's no point to it: Swimming. People who jog or run can take that training and use it; like if they get mugged, (imagine me acting out a mugger) "Gimme your money!" (now imagine me looking surprised for a split second and running away). If someone went after my wallet. (Imagine me acting out the same mugger) "Gimme your money!" (now imagine me looking surprised for a split second and then doing a sweet crawl stroke act out away from the mugger).
Hilarious, huh? I thought so too.
Night creature crawl and the dead start to walk in their masquerade
Do you like to swim? If so, email me.
