Stand up comedians have a lot to say about posting

It used to be a well guarded secret among the kings of standup that they were all terrible when they began their routines, but now more and more of stand up comedians, not just the bad ones that you don't understand, but even the good ones that you just have to respect at the end of the day, are speaking openly about their rocky starts into the world of fame and comedy. They were heckled. They were jeered. Sometimes it didn't seem like it would even be worth it
But they kept at it. Like me. I've made a lot of posts, but a lot of them haven't been good. But everyday I wake up, I open open office 2007, and I promise myself that I'll write at least three posts today. That's it. Just three posts. Maybe they wont be funny. Maybe they'll make people hate me. But they're mine. And when I cut them from my document and paste them to the penny arcade message board, I know it's at least a little more experience than I had before.
You think you're not funny? You think you can't be cool? You got infracted for making that ironic racist joke with the n word? People laughing doesn't make you funny. Being agreed doesn't make you awesome. Being awesome'd doesn't make you cool. Only you can decide that
For me, I'm going to keep posting. I hope I'm not alone. Why not talk about the ways you keep inspired to make the awesome posts that you make? Or talk about how you felt when nobody understood what you were trying to say. This is a workshop for your posts, feel free to be inspired, but also, most importantly, feel free to have fun.

The nicest thing I can say about stand-up comedians
Is that they aren't magicians

Interesting, some people would say that everything we do is a reaction to something
The main scientists call it the "reactive principle"

STEAM!
I have a blog where I actually say things sometimes
But no one reads it and I don't advertise it at all
Maybe I got these things mixed up, I don't know
they laughed
Here's a cool concept that not a lot of people think about:
"We're all dying, just very slowly"
I think it's very good that you incorporate that kind of thing into your posts, dark humor is very big these days even though most people don't know why

Someone is going to have to explain this enmity between comedians and magicians.
I like magicians that are awful for comedic purposes.
a magician succeeds with surprising deeds
it's basically a modern version of pen v. sword

I hope it goes on forever.

I found way too many comedians to be joyless, depressive, bitter individuals who hated their jobs, their audience and each other. Magicians are also like this only more so.

Turns out, I have crippling stage fright and all the liquor and oxen in the world couldn't get me up on that stage
Also turns out, a lot of aspiring "comedians" are just awful, awful people, without the benefit of being funny. This one dude was a literal trust-fund baby, just straight up was like "my parents gave me a shitty amount of money so I don't have to work, so instead I wake up in the afternoon, get high and play xbox." Which I mean, cool, good for you. But that was his whole routine. For five minutes. And it only got worse from there.
Shit was painful.
Except I actually enjoyed telling jokes
But I couldn't imagine spending my life around these people

Hey do you ever get up in the morning, get high, and play xbox
I do
I mean it's like sometimes I'm soooo high that I can't push the buttons right
my teammates are all hey todd, why don't you help capture this point and I'm like hey man I'm trying to microwave this burrito
am I right, folks????
Get off the stage,
