I’m right there too. Same question. I’ve wanted to be a stand-up comic for a long time, and I try to keep forgetting it. Wrong city, wreck of a life, 2 kids puts me in totally in the wrong type of situation to do any of it. Acupunture has helped me, (seasonal depression)and I’ll do some more when I get money fo it.

oh, I’ve been watching those terrilbe “shot of love, with Tila Tiquila” shows, and I’m thinking, maybe everyone is pimping all of their life, and some are as screwed up as much as me.

But if comics weren’t depressive wrecks deep down, they wouldn’t have any good material. I tell the same thing to myself - “If you weren’t sitting around all the time being angstful, idle, and confused, you wouldn’t be able to write about the human condition.” The hardest thing is embracing the worst parts of our selves and our lives and trying to convert them somehow into greatness. It’s an alchemy that I have yet to master. Mostly, like you, I just lie there and poke myself with needles. Except they’re not acupuncture needles; they’re knitting needles.
I haven’t seen the Shot of Love show yet. I can’t keep up with all the whores on television.

Researching, that’s what you’re doing. Researching for your novels to come.

Wistar!
I’m the one who gets to tell you what to do with your life. You know that - so stop asking the public. I would like you to continue to examine whatever that made up major you had in college was about and dig a little deeper.
