My Stand-Up Comedy Debut

So as I mentioned in my last entry, I decided to take the stage as an amateur in every meaning of the word with a stand-up routine.  You see, a good buddy of mine and aspiring stand-up comedian (who I'll plug later on) has been wanting me to take the stage.  I enjoy making my friends laugh and all but when you know someone who wants to be funny for a living (or at least make a go of it) telling you you're one of the funniest people he knows, that's pretty exciting and humbling at the same time.  So I thought it was worth a shot.  And believe it or not, I do have material.  Coming up with material isn't hard for me, it's performing.  I really don't like public speaking, hence why I've stuck to a written format here on the blog and have only flirted with the idea of doing video logs.  I'm super self-conscious and get nervous easily.  Hell, I just had a good friend of mine take pictures of me so I had something presentable up on my Facebook profile.  For months, I've had a drawing a friend found that vaguely looked like me because I never like how pictures of me turn out so I figured having a professional do them would turn out better.  Well, they turned out alright but it was all due to her and not because I'm good-looking by any means.  Anyways, you can see the sort of psychosis I go through just by getting on stage.  And I was nervous.  My one leg was shaking so bad that if I put any sort of pressure on it, I could've easily tipped over.  I'm sure you can hear the shakiness in my voice as well.  With that said, let me just put the video up so you can see for yourself.

This Is What Happens When You Have Nothing To Write About

First of all, before I get going into...whatever the hell I'm going to talk about today, I'd like to thank the patrons of the Wrestlecrap Forum.  Because of them, I managed to get just under 200 hits over the course of last Wednesday through Friday.  Thursday alone netted me 122 hits, which is easily a record for the most in one day so far.  However, there comes a negative side to this.  They only really came because I posted a link to my article about NXT Season 2 and while I'm glad they read it, they're seemingly the only ones that have.  And after Friday, my daily hits went back down into the single digits.  Hell, no one has even visited the blog today so far (though hopefully that'll change once I post this).  So I'm really thinking about things I can do or specific stuff I can write about that'll get more people to read and, more importantly, keep them coming back.  I know there's an audience for my inane ramblings somewhere out there.  Why else would internet reviewers and stupid YouTube vloggers get so many people to follow them?  I just wanna jump up and down and complain loudly about stupid crap for a living, that's all.  And judging from all the Tea Partiers and Town Hall meetings lately, that seems to truly be the American dream.

Which brings me to my current quandary: I have nothing to write about right now.
