I vaguely, indistinctly, as though through thick panes of old, warped glass remember a time when I was a funny guy. I was professionally funny, for God's sake. Granted, I wasn't very good at it. Maybe only one in every five or so Two Bits were ever worth a damn, but even then, I had a knack for the stuff. The ebb and flow of comedy, the pitch and ( Read more... )

I find that comedy is all about who you're around. And it's different even at those times.

For example, I'm pretty funny around my work friends, but that's because I'm so much more awesome than they are. I feel like I'm funny when I'm around you or Jonathan or Andrew because I bounce off of you guys. I'm funny around Des because I relentlessly make jabs at her expense to make others laugh. I find I'm not funny at all when I'm alone. That's probably why I send random thoughts and jokes via text message so much because I have these and need to get them out. I think that's why a lot of the text messages that are between you and me are quotes from random places.

BTW, liked the "Idiocracy" quotation the other day, though I had to look it up because I knew that I knew it, but didn't remember from where. And in that same vein: It's got electrolytes; it's got what plants crave!

Dude you need some poon. of course that isn't much of an encouragement since girls like funny dudes. But yeah maybe you are just around un funny people.

On a completely different note. Katie started reading Scott Pilgrim and really likes them.

Scott Pilgrim's where it's at, but it is a little hard to get into. Since the whole thing's basically about Scott growing up and not being a douchey douche anymore, you kind of have to suffer through him being a huge turd in the first book.

As to your first point: ...oh yeah.

I've always been chasing rainbows! Staring out of classroom windows!
I dont think I'll ever be happy unless I'm unhappy and hugging my grudge.
