The holy funny.

I was doing an open mic last night and something fantastic happened that totally blind sided me. One of the earlier comics talked about Stephen Hawking's proposal to time travel by manipulating the theory of relativity, and I wrote a joke about it on a whim. I went up a good hour after said comic left, but I decided I was going to tell the joke I wrote in response to his earlier bit, despite the fact that he was gone. Due to my unyielding fear of bit stealing, I won't retell the joke exactly. But to make a long story short, I told a joke that I thought of one way, but the audience took it a totally different way, and this misunderstanding just made the joke THAT much more hilarious. I told a joke that I was expecting to be a 6 or 7, but unintentionally turned it into gold. The feeling that I experienced afterward was nothing short of bliss. This is why I love comedy. Moments of sheer joy for the audience and the performer spring forward out of nothingness, and the world seems brighter.

I read once that the universe is mostly composed of darkness and space, and that light from stars, galaxies, and novas is quite few and far between. I feel like comedy is an Earthbound reflection of that. Our days are composed of monotony and social expectations, but comedy comes along and makes light out of nowhere.

I apologize for the hippidy-dippity wording here, but in all honesty, having that happen to me was like a religious experience. I felt like sharing.

Darn it, I forgot that I blog. Again.

This is my final project for Production and Editing Two. The sound is a little sketchy, but overall I'm very satisfied with it. If you're opposed to a immature humor, please don't click on it. I originally wanted it to just be an awkward singles chat line staring my friends Libby and Sandy. Libby gave me the idea to make it into a "plus sized" ladies chat line because Libby and Sandy are plus sized ladies. Therefore, I cannot be accused of being shallow or misogynistic because it was a woman's idea AND I made fun of myself in this as well. The man tempting the viewer with his voluptuous man boobs is played by none other than ME. I have since lost about 10lbs out of sheer shame. Watching myself over and over again while editing this gave me an eating disorder.

Anywho, this video symbolizes that I am now done with school. In a short while I will be taking the plunge and will be an official LA resident. To say that I am scared is like saying John Waters is flamboyant; an UNDERSTATEMENT! I'm 98% sure I found a roommate. Forgive the short and irrelevant update. I wanted to make sure this blog did not atrophy like the last one.
