It's been a while since I've had a chance to write anything. It's amazing how quickly life can bounce from one thing to another. I recently started doing standup comedy... I know it's unbelievable, but it's been going very well for me! I'm not exactly a stage fanatic and I don't have confidence through the roof, but I do consider myself to be genuinely funny and perhaps a bit of a masochist. I've been writing a lot. I've been feeling creative and strangely empowered by my new outlet. The downside is that the money sucks!
So in an attempt to steer myself back to gainful employment, I decided to enter a local cooking competition. I can see myself giving cooking lessons again, designing menus at a small bistro, or maybe cooking up my crazy concoctions at parties or something. I really don't know. I just know I'm good at this and I'd like to get paid at some point. I really don't think that's entirely beyond the realm of possibilities.
Anyway, I spent an entire evening at a friends house. I cooked, I drank, I laughed, I goofed around, and 3 hours later I was convinced that this cooking competition wasn't for me. I have no business in front of a camera! I told my amazing cameraman not to feel bad if he couldn't condense the insanity into a 5 minute video... at least we got a good meal out of the evening. But he assured me not to worry. He would produce a cohesive cooking video for me. It turns out, even the impossible is possible in the hands of a capable and clever video engineer.
Thank you Joe for not making me look as much like the fool that I am!!!
So, here are the results:
