Not doing stuff

I haven' t blogged in a while. I just haven't done it. I realized that I wasn't blogging on any kind of regular basis, I thought some days I might do it...but yet I never seemed to get around to it. I write most everyday too, you'd think it would have been easy. Nah, just did not do it.

Come to think of it I'm good at not doing things, sometimes too good. I can not do projects with the best. I'm gonna try to pick it up though, ...most likely, probably, I guess.

Ever consider what is your thing you like not to do the most? What is the task you put off constantly, it's almost automatic. You think of it and go....I'll do that later, maybe tomorrow
or next week. Isn't it great when there's a holiday and you can say ...I'll get on that after the holiday, yeah then!

I like the sign that says Do Not Enter. It means simply you cannot go in that way. They never tell you what will happen if you do choose to enter but you still do not enter.

I once saw a Not for Sale sign. Can't be much call for that huh? How many things can you think of you'd need to put a Not for Sale sign on. Is there that many people in this world that ask ...is that for sale that much?!
This Not for Sale sign was on an old automobile. Apparently the owner had been asked so many times if his piece of crap car was for sale that he felt the need to put the sign on the car.

It's hard not to do stuff. People are always asking you what you're doing. You end up doing stuff. You just can't NOT do stuff. Proof positive is the fact that I'm blogging again and not putting it off.

Friday on the road.

It's Friday! tgif I guess. For me it means more work. I'm in Cleveland Oh area working a comedy club which means I will do two shows tonight 8 & 10pm. That's after early morning radio this past Thursday and today. Tomorrow I will do two more shows and even a morning comedy writing workshop at the club to help new guys and gals in the stand up biz.

I really like teaching/coaching and I'm really not exactly getting rich with it - many times it even ends up costing me money but I still love to do it and therefore that is the reason. The old saying "If you really want to know a subject teach it!" I profess to be true. I've learned a lot teaching comedy. I have learned that some new comics would rather not take a class and so continue to keep on making the same mistakes. I relate to that - I came up the hard way in stand up...it took me years to learn somethings that I can now deliver to a new student in a couple of hours of class time. I have gained a partial skill thanks to an inner eye for seeing talent and knowing where an act is going right or wrong. I can tell in an instant if a comedian is real or phony and usually help direct him/her to a new place where they can progress.

I completely understand that some new acts aren't on a fast track and actually like the process of the open mic nights and would really rather subconciously or not want to stay there. It becomes not a way of advancing but more of a way of socializing. I suppose you seek your own comfort level.

Teaching comedy and act refinements is a unique challenge and I've been doing them since the 80's. I think after all this time of experimentation and study I've finally learned how to do it well. lol

Happy Friday my brothers and sistas!! Uncle Hippie is at work helping people laugh a little. It could be worse. Peace.

Have a nice day. :)
