Happy Monday evening.

I am super psyched about this show, you guys. Everyone on the lineup is fire. I’m not ashamed to say that I am the least funny person out of this group.

I’ve been doing some thinking recently about fear. For most of my life, I’ve let it stop me from doing a lot of things. Don’t get me wrong, though: fear is a valuable emotion. It keeps you from pulling dangerous stunts like eating laundry detergent. But I think it also kept me from trying things I would have enjoyed.

One of the things I fear the most is failure. Failure, and getting hurt. I took the opportunity to try stand-up comedy after a bad breakup. I guess at that point, I figured I didn’t have a whole lot to lose. I’m no longer afraid of public speaking, which is awesome. Still working on getting over my fear of getting hurt emotionally, though. That one is harder to overcome.

I guess my point is that I’m still here. I survived all of it. I still don’t know what happens in the end, but I guess that’s part of the fun.

See you guys in the morning.
