Comedy nerd moment!
So, 10 years at this time I was completing my last semester of college in Los Angeles(via Emerson College's L.A. program).
I would go to the Hollywood Improv every now and then because some of my friends performed there and I would also go to check out a lot of comedians I had heard of from tv. During that time frame I never got to actually perform at that club. It wouldn't be until five years later when returning to L.A. for a couple of months that I got to take the stage. It was for a Tonight Show(w/Jay Leno) audition. The line-up for that show was super stacked(with talent) and I remember being kind of surprised that more audience hadn't shown up for it and thinking,
Do people realize what a great live show they are missing?
It was fun though and it allowed me to reunite with some friends I hadn't seen in years. That's one of the great things about being a comedian, I get to make people laugh, but also it's an excuse to have mini-reunions with friends I haven't seen in forever.
Anyway, I think I had a point, what was it?
Oh yeah.
After taking the liberty of googling my own name I discovered that the Improv comedy club chain has including me in their "comedians" section. I thought that was cool of them to do that, especially since I've performed at only one of their clubs a whopping one time.
On an unrelated note, I've also discovered that google has a "related search" section and that a lot of my "related" searches are very UN-related to me.
These are the things that happen when you take the liberty of googling your own name on a Sunday morning!
This ends this comedy nerd moment blog post.

Thought of the day:
Events or parties that take place on a boat must be tricky
because
if you're at one and you don't feel like being there anymore you can't just quietly slip out and leave unnoticed.
Someone is bound to hear/see you diving into the ocean and frantically swimming away to the shore
and
they'll probably get mad and say,
Whoa, I guess the party wasn't cool enough for him/her!

So, in the past I had this problem where if I would be walking about in the city(whether it be New York or Boston or wherever)or in a mall and I'd cross paths with someone who looked like a friend or aquaintence and I wouldn't say hi
because
I would just assume it wasn't them.
I'd think,
The city is bustlin' with what appears to be thousands of pedestrians.
What are the chances that one of these 1000 people would actually be someone I know?!
That must just be someone who looks like them.
But then I'd find out it actually was indeed them when they called me an hour or so later and told me and asked me why I looked at them in a confused way and didn't say hello.
Well, recently I have actually started to say hi and accept the fact that my friends and aquaintances almost ALWAYS pop up in 1 in a million situations and it turns out it is indeed always them.
I'm glad I finally cleared that up!
