So I know the subject of the weather is very common in small talk.
But the other day someone asked me,
"So when's the storm coming?"
And they asked it as though they really thought I would know the answer.
Like maybe I was the authority on weather.
For some reason this made me feel proud.
It made me think, awesome it's about time someone asked for my take on the weather.
So I replied to them(in a very confident tone) and said,
"I have no idea."

Happy 2006!
2005 was a great year. I got to do so many cool things.
I'll just mention 2 of them, because I don't feel like writing a novel.
1. I got to tour colleges, which was so much fun.
A few years ago I used to do this thing on stage where I would announce to the audience that my next comedy career goal was to be a road comic. I would then play a game with them called "Getting Ready for the Road". I was just goofing around about the the whole thing. But then I actually started doing shows where I had to travel to get to them. So my "next comedy career goal" became a reality.
2. My stand-up appeared on tv.
I've always loved watching tv. But being on tv is different. Cameras creep me out. I've always preferred doing any kind of live show(without the presence of a camera). But this year I did standup in front of a camera and it made it's way to tv, and I actually didn't mind. It was both fun and exciting. I'm still not the biggest fan of being in front of a camera, but I KNOW I'll get over it.
How do I know?
Well before I started doing standup, public speaking creeped me out, and I always hated it. I was always a huge fan of comedy, but whenever I saw a comedian on tv doing standup I would say,
"I don't know how they do it. I could never imagine getting up and talking in front of a room full of strangers AND making them laugh. That is something you will NEVER see me do.
But now here I am...
Thanks again for all of your support.
