So you're all teenagers still right? That's cute. That's cute that you have dreams.

I like how just this year I realized that stand-up comedy was a viable hobby slash side career not to be confused with the career I choose in order to please the parents who are paying for college.

I still haven't manned up enough to go to any open mic nights, though, despite having found out about a few.

Do you even write material? Don't go up without any material.

[ASR]

I do. I keep a notebook that I jot down things I think are funny in. I keep it on me at almost all times, at least in my backpack during the day.

And then later, I go through and form it into this imaginary routine and I have it all worked out in my head, but I: A) don't think I have enough to consistently flow and segway and really be confident with, B) feel like once I'm up there, I'll start forgetting things and just draw blanks, and C) am completely intimidated with going on stage and performing any of it.

But yeah, I know the process and I've got a whole bunch of stuff ready (both written and in my head), and I'm at least sure it's FUNNY. It's just a matter of, well, doing it.

[Mikero]

Nice. I should do that for rhymes.

Also, I wish I'd written down my Aristocrat's joke. It was like 25-45 minutes long.

There was a massive rain the other week during marching band practice, and it soaked my backpack and everything in it.

Including my joke book.

So, I had to rewrite EVERYTHING into another notepad thing because the other one was ruined, for the most part.

It was annoying.

It also gave me the chance to really decide what was good and what wasn't, and I dropped a lot of stuff.

Keep it in a zip-lock bag next time.

I'm being serious.
