Sometimes you have to start over. 2014 was all about asking myself, "What Do I Want to Be?"

2014: Had the plan, just not the discipline. Vanessa and Basketball, though. Check

Significant Progress

I feel terrific. I've spent this winter -- and much of the past 4 years, really -- figuring out what I want to DO. I haven't discussed it much on the record -- save for a brief part of my WTF interview, and an online interview with Brian Gaar for one of Austin's newspapers -- But my career fundamentally changed, during my 2010 "Quarterlife Crisis Comedy Tour," with comics M. Dickson, Jason Marcus, and Lucas Molandes. Specifically, there was a show we did in Atlanta, that I recognized the shift. I'll write about it someday. Not today. I only have 4 minutes left for this post. 3 minutes. _____ I sat in my living room this evening, with Miss Butterfly Starfish. (my fiancé) And we talked about how to move forward, with my career. And how to use BrysonTurner.com more. And to have more fun doing it. I'm close. I can feel it. It's been winter for a while, career-wise But logically, it makes sense that if I 1. Had the courage to try something new, and 2. Had the courage to keep going and 3. Had the patience to learn, Then I was eventually going to be rewarded. Even if I was misguided, it would make sense that I would be rewarded for the effort, creativity, and womb. And if my gut has been right this whole time? Then this is about to get fun

"Unruly" Review

10 minutes is what I will give this review. No. 4. That's how much of Ralphie May's new special I watched. These Netflix specials are all a joke. Just a way for companies to turn a quick buck on this Netflix fad. And it's getting frustrating. Ralphie OPENED his special with plane jokes, and then a CNN/plane joke (This is his SPECIAL, by the way. You may not have known, because I don't think anyone told him) Don't waste my time. That bothers me. I just lost 4 valuable minutes. And now 8. He closed his special (for me) By asking "Is anyone else starting to think CNN CAUSES the news?!?!" Yes, Ralph. We are. News outlets have been "causing" news stories to be overly hyped at various levels for a while. Specifically, ever-since-they-had-to-fill-a-particular-amount-of-time. 3 and a half stars

Getting things in order. _____ That should be the auto-reply, on my life right now. I don't text friends back. I don't call family back. I haven't talked to my cousins in a couple years. I really do hope they're doing well. For me, right now, I don't want to lose focus. _____ I feel bad for most successful comedians. They work hard for a decade or two, trying to gain some level of success and fame. (And then years later, -- maybe -- some money) The "reward" they get is basically a generation of young comics, asking them for comedy and life advice, and finding a hundred different ways to ask, "will YOU be my dad?" _____ I don't blame anyone for it. Myself included. Patrice and Bill were my two 'comedy dads.' I feel lucky I picked so well. And that they gave me a little bit of their time, and were patient with me, and answered question after question, even after a long day at work. _____ I would have picked Louis, but by the time I got to him, he had real kids of his own. And probably a bunch of comedy kids, too. _____ _____ Some of Patrice's advice was about money. He took too long to get his life together, and it cost him. Big Time. He alludes to it repeatedly in his only full-length special, "Elephant in the Room." He should have learned how to type. He should have started exercising younger. He should have started better habits before 35. _____ Growing up (the already-should-be-an-adult version), I was looking for more than jokes, from my favorite comedians. I was looking for insight. I was looking for truths. I was looking for a male role model. Somebody who could help me get from where I was, to where I wanted to get to. Patrice never made that full journey. I don't think he'd argue that for a second. But the guy left clues. And so do a lot of other people. If we take the time to listen. _____ I'm getting better at putting things in order. I have two minutes to finish this blog. Because I'm writing til 1 pm. Then on to the next thing. Writing 5 jokes. _____ _____ I might do some jokes about ghosts, in my next special. Or tonight. Whenever I put it on the list. I'm starting to figure this thing out.
