The title: You ain't nothing, but cheese without the corners, you ain't never gone be a slice. It comes from the Kevin Hart stand-up. It's really funny to me.
Moving Right Along: I had a great day today. Enjoyed church. Dinner was awesome. Worked out. I ate a salad today. I ate a lot of salad. Not because I feel fat, but because it was delicious! Anywho, I read an article today about FAITH. I'm putting it in all caps, because I felt like it. It pretty much summarized that "God tells you to do something and then you do that thing out of faith". It states that we as humans often get it wrong and go "We want something so we use our faith that God will give it to us". And then I analyzed how I've done that. I said "God I wanna study at Second City so I'm gonna move to Chicago can you help with that", and nothing has happened. In fact He's made it so difficult for me to do this, I'm almost starting to think it's not in His will for my life (or at least not at this time). And you know what? I don't care. I'm not happy, but I don't care either. I mean, God told me to be still. And I don't wanna be still, but I'm obeying. I also learned the other day that it's when you give up something you love, it's when God can bless you. This didn't make sense to me. But very little does right now. In the words of Steve Urkel "I'm wearin' you dowwwn" is essentially what God is doing to me. So here God, take my 30 Rock, SNL, and Upright Citizens Brigade time. I'm officially not watching any of those for two weeks. "Well, what will you watch?" The paint dry! First I gotta paint a dang wall.
At first I had an extreme thought. I thought, what if God doesn't want me to do comedy. But then my life didn't make any sense. I can't even imagine having a family if I wasn't doing comedy. (That probably makes very little sense to others) But if I didn't have the career I wanted, I think I'd be too zombie-ish to date, so I'd never get married, thus leaving me childless. I can't even think of what other job I'd get! In fact, I think I'd just live at home for a really really long time if I didn't do comedy. Doing comedy is what motivates me to do anything really. All the shitty jobs I've had I always motivated myself to get outta bed by telling myself "You gotta do what you gotta do, to get where you wanna get", when customers pissed me off, I chanted this mantra in my head. When I was 9-years-old, I had a hit TV show in my head. Whenever I was bored, I'd think about it. It was hilarious (in a kid kinda way). So no, I wouldn't be able to function. And I'm really not good at other things. The only other non-manual labor job I'd be sorta good at is a secretary. But I mean, what?! I'd hang myself by age 35. So no, I think God totally wants me to do comedy. I just don't know what His plan is. And I'm so, "AHHHH" about the whole thing right now. So since I won't be watching any comedy, I will be working on my screenplay. Who knows, I might finish it. Because I'm an addict. If I don't have some kind of comedy in my life, I might become a republican. And that's no good for anyone!
