Birthday Week (Day 2)

Tomorrow's the day of my birthin'. So here's the penultimate thing I've learned this year...

#2 - I really can do what ever I want to do in life. And what I want to do in life is comedy.

I always admired people who just DO because I spend so much time THINKING. I make impulsive decisions more than on occasion, but I love people that just grab life by the balls and do what they want. They get what they want. They make the world theirs. I've truly discovered that in my twenty seventh year of life. I wanted to entertain from the age of three. I wanted to entertain people and make them laugh. I wanted to tell stories. I wanted my life to be a movie.

When I joined Second City after years of deliberation, I knew instantly that it was right. I was right about myself all these years. This is what I want to do.

Now I perform bi-weekly and in scattered performance all over Chicago. I'm trying things out and finding more of my voice on my YouTube channel. I spend a lot of time on the internet daily and it feels like a job; a thoroughly satisfying, self-serving job. I'm writing everything down and constantly trying to come up with new ideas. Then I'm going to take all of this with me to New York in the summer. I've never been happier with where my life is heading. I'm excited for everything and anything. And I finally feel like I can do everything and anything.

So here's to my last day of being twenty seven. Thank you for coming with me on this journey, strangers.

Twenty eight, I'm ready for you.
