(Warning: I found a way to talk about pizza again).
In this Matt appreciation blog, Matt talks about how to be a successful comedian AND a better person at the same time! I’ve never really bothered with the latter in the traditional sense, as in my world pizza etc. makes me a better person. (I know the pizza reference came very quickly, I’m sorry but it’s a compulsion. It’s actually insanity if you can’t control yourself. Not a dangerous form in my case, but if I were to look for a regular job, it would be a problem. I actually remember applying for a job along with others and pizza was on offer. You can guess what I was fixated on). So yeah, it’s very easy for me to be fulfilled which is good for me, but not so much for everyone else as they think I’m odd. It’s not so bad at first though. When someone first meets me, they could ask ‘So, what’s your best way to celebrate at the weekend?’ Then I say ‘I get a pizza’. So yeah not bad so far, but as the conversation goes on it gets a little darker. Then the person would be like, ‘So, what are you doing later on?’ Then I’d say ‘I’ll be getting some hash browns. And thinking of pizza.’ A little bit weird at that point, but then I get asked ‘What are your dreams?’ A bit of a nosey question, but maybe the hypothetical person was just trying to think up things to ask in desperation. Then I say ‘I’d like… lots of pizza, smiley face!’
I may have posted a large amount of articles on my site, but really my writing can be summed up in three key words: Food, arguments and insanity. Oh yes, and the symbol :). So well done Matt for writing a special play (about being a better person) which is funny and insightful, too. This is why Matt is so interesting to me. He writes how to be better, I write how to be worse. Chalk and cheese. My writings are also a psychiatrist’s worst fear, which is why I don’t get along with them. What is the word for finding your purpose in life, that Matt discusses? It’s called ‘Ikigai’. It sounds like ‘icky guy’ doesn’t it? Well that’s because it’s a Japanese word. A complete coincidence. Sensible guy would make more sense. I hate to talk about pizza for the millionth time, but I find pizza gives me purpose, and of course, if you handle pizzas, they make you icky. Again, a coincidence. I guess I find purpose in going to the gym, and what is icky about that? Unless you fall off a running machine, bleed everywhere and get infected causing lots of pus. BUT I find meaning in exercising, not getting injured so again, the comparison doesn’t make sense. If I did find meaning in getting injured? Well. Time to really get sectioned. Some people do though, you have to wonder why. I could search for masochism on the internet, but it would likely be taken the wrong way if someone viewed my browsing history.
There is no changing of subjects in this blog like the kind you got in my prior ‘contest’ posts, as I’ve used up all my random ideas on my latest interview, so I’m just going to have to keep talking about Matt. Or rather talking about myself and saying his name every now and then. So, should I make yet another apology video seeing as this blog has just been me saying the same kind of thing again? Or MAYBE this blog has revealed a lot about me which is what good writing should do. If this isn’t a good blog in some ways, it’s at least a perfectly valid psychological assessment. I’m not sure why I’d feel the need to post it online, I guess the reason is when I do so, I feel nothing. :O As I want to get my Metal Rules albums out of the way so I can enjoy the various upcoming festivities to the max and blog about them, this will be the last time I post on this site for a while, other than one more upcoming blog. Charging your comedy writing batteries is important. You can post repetitions if you don’t recharge or you can post gibberish like I did in my last interview! Repeated gibberish is a true concern however, but I don’t think I’ve done that yet. If I do ever repeat gibberish thinking it’s good writing? Oh no. It’s one of my main fears. Lastly, I made an apology monologue where I explained how sorry I was mentioning the dreaded food over and over again, but instead of apologising AGAIN, why not just read it again. Then I’m sorted.

Bye!
