getting a bit serious

Ok. I have to be honest and admit that I’ve have been very bad about keeping up this blog. There is only one thing to do about that. Get serious with it. I usually read a blog by a friend named Vivek Mahbubani (It’s easy to spell his name. I don’t know why many people have a problem with it) If there is anything I’ve learned from him it’s to wear deodorant. The other thing I guess I’ve learned from him is to make a plan and stick to it. For example he does a blog entry every 10 days so I think I’ll try something like that myself. So starting today, that’ll be my new rule (I’m actually scared that I won’t follow this one. Wait and find out!)
I do feel a little self-conscience about writing this blog, although I probably shouldn’t because nobody is reading it anyway. If you are then please leave a comment so that I know that you were here. And as long as your doing that you might as well tell me what you liked didn’t like about my blog. Believe it or not I’d like to improve this a lot so that I actually get some readers.
Why do I want a blog you ask? You probably didn’t do that but I’ll answer since I’m rudely assuming you did. Well I want a blog because I’d like to do some regular writing that can be viewed by the public.
“But Chris” you say, “Why the hell would you want to do that?” Well I’d actually like to be a professional comedian someday and I think one good thing to help with my popularity would be to keep a blog that is updated all the time.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not putting everything into comedy. I think that for the next few years I’ll be fine just doing my regular teaching job while performing stand up on the side. Regardless, it would be a good idea to get started in the habits of what a comedian should be doing. Such as regular joke writing (30min a day for me), as much stage time as possible, and trying to build a name for yourself (blogs help).

In the meantime though I’m just concentrating on having fun with comedy. I don’t want to lose the love I have for it. Cuz then what’s the point?
