Mitch Hedberg blues

This week was pretty good. As of like actual good things, the week kind of sucked but in terms of this project, it was all right, which is unusual for my project (lol). The reason why is not because of actual work I did (sorry to disappoint you) but because of a Mitch Hedberg special that I saw. Mitch Hedberg is famous, and the only reason you don't know him is because he died so young. A tragic loss, really. He died around the age of 35, I think, due to drug overdose. In any case, his tragic death is not what inspired me. Rather, it was a special I saw of him. It was a 30 minute special. Very conventional stuff filmed by Comedy Central. In the midst of such an important taping, Mitch Hedberg comes on stage and begins cracking jokes. Surprising, I know but almost 15 minutes into the special, he comments on how the audience just isn't laughing at his jokes. He specializes in one liners and weird delivery and I guess this was just too weird for the audience. Anyways, it was inspiring to see him push through the bad audience. By the end, he had them laughing so it had an happy ending after all. Also, I was reading his Wikipedia page (Wikipedia is actually really interesting once in a while) and I was surprised to see that he suffered from severe stage fright. This is weird because believe it or not, he is really famous. He has performed in front of hundreds of thousands of people. To help his stage fright, he wears sunglasses and never looks up. Moreover, his hands visibly shake while performing. So what I'm trying to say about this is that Mitch Hedberg is a great comedian and some people didn't like his jokes. Thus, I can be a great comedian even if people don't like my jokes. I mean, not all people of course but if at least some like it, I can be a great comedian. This gave me courage to continue and I think that is important to note.
So the only reason I share this is to hide the fact that I actually did no work at all this week. Laugh out loud, I'm just kidding (apparently we are supposed to be more formal now..oops). I started this new thing this week that have yielded pretty good results so far. On a google doc, I begin typing the stuff that I did to overcome a writers block (or a comedian block) and it has actually kind of worked. It was a random idea really that I did on Friday in class, and it felt good. Not only was it a cathartic experience, it also got a lot of ideas on paper. When I went home and read it, some of them were actually not bad which is definitely a step in the right direction.
