just finished season 3 of the wire. haven’t used my new pink boxing gloves. only 5 more shows left, hard to believe. the “nominees” came in today, which I would be remiss to give a shit about , except some pals were nominated so now I HAVE to care. Been taking more pictures of people rather than places. Maybe that’s because I’m not really going anywhere, or MAYBE it’s because I’m passionate about the human condition. You get to decide. The crowds have not gotten better, and I don’t expect them to. I also don’t care. Occasionally an audience of 5 will make my day. Two people at yesterday’s show HATED me, and all I did was focus on them, talk to them, grill them about what they didn’t enjoy. I never attacked them, I just asked them questions. It’s was a bit self-destructive, but I’ve become fascinated by the few folks who don’t laugh at a single thing I say, yet stay for the whole show. It all feels like an experiment being inflicted on me, as well as a lesson in patience if you’ll allow me a moment of earnest confession. (speaking of which, have you ever seen “Ernest goes to Confession”…hilarious!) Still miss home, equal parts confident and confused about stand-up, and longing for a poker game (Bruce??). I think my camera is breaking. Pieces are falling off of it. Is it time to buy a fancy one? To invest in a hobby and take myself on “artists dates?” Maybe I’ll become a cop. The Wire is getting under my skin. In a good way. All they do is drink and fuck and save people. I can do that. Oh…and here’s more blah blah blah…
