Okay brothers and sisters.
It's high time that I started bringing my "A" Game to the show again. For the last few months (really, since the beginning of the season), I feel like I've been performing at a solid "C" level.
I know that's not good enough.
But it's tough... It doesn't seem to matter how many years I do improv (14, for those who haven't see my bio), I always hit a spell where I'm not really clicking like I should, and I feel like appologizing to the audience for that.
Unfortunately, I usually am. You can tell in my body language and facial expressions that I'm improvising as well as being "sorry for being shitty", which doesn't help the audience, the cast members, the higher-ups, or me.
So it doesn't matter if I perform or not tonight, I just want you (my 4 readers, that is) to know that from this day forward, I'll envision myself as an unforgiving SUPASTAR... Understanding all the time that being modest whilst projecting that is a delicate balance.
And at the same time as being more confident, I'll be more relaxed. I'll do the warm-ups that I know will get me out of my head, and stop questioning or even subtly mocking my artform.
Kind of a strange read today, I know, but I have to get that off my chest.
Uh... yeah, nothing really funny or insightful in all that... so... uh... CRAYZEE MONKEYS!!! WHEEE!!!
Crazy monkeys can be funny.... Now, for something insightful... Uh... If god created the world, who created god???.... TRIIIIPY... WHOA!!!
Shawn out.

Shawn, for you, I have pimped my myspace out to Laibach's Geburt Einer Nation.
I wouldn't do this for just anyone.
It won't be there for more than a day or two.
What do you get when Rammstein and Cookie Monster buy a Casio and cover a Queen Song?... You get Laibach!
Man. Wait until your hear their cover of the "Let It Be" album. You thought Shatner had an interesting Beatles interpretation.
I can totally hook you up...
