I feel for all the actors that had to dress up in costume for Comicon this weekend!
I used to work at Disney World in Florida as a kid and I would see the how the heat drained the enthusiasm out of the performers who dressed in hot, furry and heavy costumes.
If it's over 65 degrees, I am not into reading a comic book.
Klingons begin to melt at 85 Degrees.
Talked with an old friend today who I use to work with at a radio station. I hadn't spoke with her for some time and it seems she has left the industry for much better things.
She's so happy!
It was fun talking because there wasn't that stress in her voice that I use to hear and probably had myself.
We worked at a horrible station! Horrible people! A radio station of losers!
We broke free. We're Winners! Well, I was forced out, but she left on her own accord.
Still, we're Winners!
Talking with her about the offers to do more radio I've had lately and hearing myself tell her how happy I am, I know I don't want to get back into it. She's making more money and I'm making more.
All the joys I get out of being on the air and performing on the radio, I get from running the Workshop. It really seems to be my calling, my metier, my passion.
I was watching Paul Giamatti on Charlie Rose and he was saying, how he would be performing whether he was successful or not, because he simple dug what he was doing. He didn't think he was all that great, he just loved the feeling he got from it and kept at it because of that feeling.
I knew a guy that started doing stand up comedy because he was a doorman at the Comedy Store and saw comics getting sitcoms. He was really sweet, but I found his work, not at all funny. It was painful to watch. He kept getting stage time. He was there all the time anyway. It was like management believed if they didn't let him do his act, he might quit being the doorman. So he kept doing it.
He has a show on HBO now!
Bastard!
Now he's funny!
Those that keep at it, seem to win.
I like to sleep. Just love to sleep. Someday, I'm gonna be really good at it!
