Meeting Strangers

All summer long I had been “Hey-Arnolding”, which is obviously doing good deeds without being asked or posting it on social media. (Not sleeping with guys who have girlfriends, donating a dollar to supermarket charities, recycling etc.) I guess you could say I’m a real hero.

With all this good-doing garbage I feel stuck in my life.
My spiritual healer said I’m an “Earth Angel” but I feel that I’m constantly being followed by demons. Every time I make an attempt at moving forward in my life there is a big sumo-wrestler sized road block standing in my way.

(I just wiped soy sauce off my face with the packaging from this unraveled laptop
also I just bought this laptop)

Anyways, I was stuck until the other night when I went to the Comedy Cellar. I consumed what some people would call “too much gin.” But the good news, I met a couple of cool comedians and I didn’t throw up calamari (which I consider a win)

The set at the Comedy Cellar was everything I dreamed it would be. It’s an intimate room filled with couches and comfy chairs. They had a few comedians that were on Netflix and some comedians no ones ever heard of. Which is nice. You get sick of hearing the same 5 funny comedians after a while. I love a dark depressed Neal Brennan style comic every once in a while..

We were very drunk… so drunk… I spelt extinguisher with a Q.

Hanging out with comedians was cool. They weren’t anyone you would know but it was cool to talk to people like me. We walked the streets spitting jokes and ideas. At Bo’s Kitchen we were talking about my old blog (Peter Pan Complex) and how I love comedy writing. The comedian I had been talking to for the past hour said I could help him write for something he was working on for Comedy Central (?) Unfortunately, my dream died when later on in the night I figured out he was just trying to extort a date out of me…

Even though the end of the night was awkward I loved every minute of it.

My night ended with me screaming at Door Dash Customer service because the driver was lost. (because I entered the wrong address in the app.) This is who I am now…
