Why is it so hard for me to replace the game, as it was taught to me? Because it's the only thing this ex-introvert has that gave him tons of social proof, the very first social high, absolute crack, pure addictive crack, on an emotional and physical level. Social acceptance is a grand thing.
It's no secret that a lot of the game is compared to stand up comedians, especially along the lines of the mystery method with canned routines. I've wanted to dabble with stand up for awhile now. Yet Ive only gone as far to be a part of local comedy nights, even judging, but never letting the balls out of the pants and getting my ass up there.
So I'll review my active year in the game, since I've already spent more than enough time just watching comedy central (since 1998), enjoying a good laugh, and reading up on some of the nitty gritty. Now it's time to take some canned jokes and try them out on a stand up night, and prepare a routine, and a set. And then venture on to my own material. When something sucks, alter it, and when something's good, maybe tweak it or leave it be, time and audiences will tell.
