Dangit. I knew I was missing something.

I've had a similar journey. Although I only really started into the archives like 4 years ago. It spawned a lot of changes in my life. Self reflection of ideals, values, and lifestyle. The last few years going through the archives has really carried and shaped my life as of late. Big void to fill.

Good comedy is always picking out the absurd of humanity and society and turning it around, looking at it objectively, and skillfully breaking it down to the silliest notions it imbues. It's glorious, magical, and natural. It's real hard to fight going over into pure cynicism. Sometimes it's needed.

Every time I hear comedians talk about their influences and who they loved, it's always like hearing your story told back to you. I listened to comedy records as long as I can remember, and saw tons of stand-ups and movies growing up. Finally reconnecting is pretty great. Just like music.

I got those same pants, for real. Keeping it that way, for real.

*Raises hand* yeah that pretty much explains my entire thing as of late.

I often go on binges of listening to old stuff of mine. Some of it over 30 years old. And I wonder if I would have come up with the same thing all this time later knowing then what I know now. The ignorance was freeing creatively. I can hear myself in those early raw attempts it's great to notice.

I posted as much as much as I could. I am glued to the matches. Now it's Collision so I don't want to spoil.
