Hey Mom

Hey...I sort of had a date the other day. Birmingham is an annoying place to have a date. Who decides that your downtown should be a business center, but only let you park on the street for an hour? It’s like they only want to look like a business center, and let people take turns looking the part. It smells expensive too. Whenever I sit down to one of these, I think of you yelling at me. That one time eating with Kenna, you really didn’t like it when I said “promise I’m not staring into your crotch” when I leaned over to pick something up. I know that was weird, but she was only ever in my life because she bit me and I decided I like that. I guess that’s an example of how I’m always aware I’m bad at choosing people. Anyway, I don’t understand why this woman was so focused on my job. She knows I’m a standup and I’m traveling constantly. She knows I’m a lawyer too, but what’s the big deal about not working in the courtroom everyday? Court rooms are terrible places. I thought everyone knew that. But even if they were carnivals, why wouldn’t you want to have my job? I go to an office. I watch stuff on my phone and sort papers using a computer program. If whatever job you had let you work like this, and you also got to come and go as you please, why wouldn’t you do this? I guess I just don’t understand people.

Perfect gift is bringing friends to these #shows and coffee for me #comedy #michigan #ohio #toledo #lansing #detroit #hamtramck #easternmarket #standup #traversecity #coffee

[mrjmichaelb]

Yes, I do realize this could have been taken a way that didn’t amount to “fuck yeah, #nunchucks are cool!” #tinder

Hey, Mom

Hey, Mom.

I did standup again today.  You know, I started performing again about a year after you died.  I know, you never saw me play guitar for anyone.  You never got to experience the monotone singing voice or the serious sounding lyrics which are actually ridiculous.

I started a comedy show called the Comfort Zone.  The point is to force my friends to talk about themselves for awhile because I noticed most people doing this rarely do that.  These aren’t people you’ve met, no, because I still never really hung out with anybody when you left.  Even though I know it makes some of them uncomfortable to do it, I enjoy it.  Maybe because it’s so easy for me to bring you up.  Or Tony.  Or Bill.  Or Joyce.  Or my grandmas.  Or Richard now.  I don’t know, but I can’t stop myself from saying very personal things into a microphone.  I think you’d hate it, but still understand how it’s easier to work this way than it is to just write straight jokes.

Maybe one day I can talk about what it was like, spending all that time with dad.  I can’t even talk about it with my brother, or dad.  Not sure why I would do that, dad was there too.  He wonders sometimes if you managed to put part of yourself into Maya which may explain why she got calmer so quickly.  Keeping her was maybe the best thing you did in the end.  She hasn’t lost a step yet and I’ve made sure that she still has the leash she started with.  I get to drive to Flint tomorrow to play a bar show for free with my friends and meet another comedian from Los Angeles.  I don’t have a plan to pull up and move there now, but maybe the money I have after moving can get me there a few times per year.

Yup, every woman I know is just my friend.  The way you were used to.
