btw I changed my mind I'm moving to NYC now

Yeah, so I changed my mind.

But first, happy new year to you. Whoever you are. I mean it. Thank you for reading this blog, and for all the love you guys have given me over the year. This blog constantly surprises me. I’m amazed anyone vibes with it. Its my public/private journal, and I’m always inspired by the feedback I get.

But yes, I’m scrapping Chicago and moving to New York instead.

It dawned on me about a week ago that the real reason I was moving to Chicago was partially because I was afraid. New York is the heart of the craft, the snake pit, the place where there are thousands of comics, many of them mediocre, but hundreds of them straight up killers. I was afraid to find out that I am by comparison mediocre too.

But then I realized that I’m too old to be afraid, and I’m too old for ramps. Time is the only capital we have and its short sighted to play the video game on anything less than hard mode.

I am not moving to NYC because I am so good, I am moving there because the comics there are so good, and I am hoping to draft off of their skill and be better myself.

Like I have said from the beginning, I need downward pressure. I need a pace horse in my life.

I also have more working comic friends in New York who I can watch and learn from.

Added bonus, some of the best Jiu Jitsu in the world is located in NYC. I’m excited to learn and test my skills there too.

So if any of you guys know something I could do for work up there or a room to rent or whatever, holler. I’m wide open and looking in all directions.

Very excited.

If it is too hard or doesn’t feel right, I can always go back to the idea of Chicago. I’m certain Chicago has some outstanding pro’s and I bet I could learn a lot there too.

But everyone I know in Chicago is like a 26 year old girl doing improv having the time of their lives. Everyone I know in new york are battle hardened comics that are having cool experiences and getting better.

Anyways, we will see.
