I finally made the CD. Fourteen minutes and forty-eight seconds long. Recorded the day before yesterday. I think I rolled through too much stuff way too quickly. I can't listen to it objectively. The one thing I learned though is to just to keep weak material in the notebook and don't let it come out until it has some muscle.

I did give a copy to a friend who is a television reporter and she said that she laughed but also that it didn't really sound like me and how I normally speak. She also said that I shouldn't give up. Who would really tell another person that they should just give up anyway? I think that we need more honesty like that though. "Hey, what did you think of my comedy CD?" "I think that you should just give up!" This kind of honesty would save people years of failure and stop them from becoming chain-smoking alcoholics all because someone told them to just give up at the very beginning of their endeavor. We need to appoint a group of people to go around and tell people that they should just give up.

I've been doing lots of writing. Well, a little here and there. I don't know if I want to give up on recording my stuff but I am putting it on hold - at least doing it for other people to hear. I've researched open mic nights and as soon as my work schedule normalizes I will just starting hitting these places and record my stage stuff.
