Ninth Best Day Of My Life

Today has been an awesome day. Maybe ninth best in my life.

I woke up and brushed off terrible nightmares involving some sort of wall-eating machine that I got stuck in and was crunching my bones. It was a bad dream. I woke up - my arms and legs had not been severed which was really something. It was a good feeling.

I had cleaned my apartment the night before, so I didn't feel nasty getting out of bed or passing through / by the kitchen.

Then I checked my email and I've been asked by Comedy Central to perform on their live show at Crash Mansion this Monday.

The sent me that image and said I could use it to promote the show. I'm doing a show for Comedy Central!

I'm so excited. With The Onion and now Comedy Central, I'm really completing a lot of goals that I've had since I was seven or eight. I've never really been into anything but video games and comedy, and working and participating in both industries has been quite pleasant.

I went to work after that and Bill Hader grabbed me. We share the same favorite author - Neil Gaiman. Anyway, Bill and Neil Gaiman are now friends and Bill had opened for him during a reading tour. And Neil sent Bill a set of signed copies of his new book and Bill gave me one. Because we talk about Gaiman a lot.

This day has fucking rocked. Tonight I'm doing a show at Sound Fix with Anthony Jeselnik, who was a comedian I liked on Premium Blend long before I did comedy. There are also a lot of other great people on it as well.

Despite all the depression, all the self-hatred, all the idiotic moves and stupidity, you get a few good shining moments when it's all worth it. Today's been one of those days.
