So today I wrote the first script for the sketch comedy project. I’ll be giving it to Justin to review and then hopefully we can start filming.
I’m really excited. About this sketch comedy and about everything, really. I’m just thinking about all the things I want to do, and I just see potential for some awesome things.
I tend to pick up the guitar when I’m waiting for something, like if I’m cooking a burger or waiting for laundry to finish up (this lead to many burnt meals if I got really into it). So today was one of those days. I picked it up, started playing the parts of songs I have memorized, and then started looking for shit that sounded good. I found some, and normally I would tell myself that it really doesn’t sound that good. It’s too simplistic, and it’s grating on everyone’s ears.
Today, I just went with it. Kept playing, and whatever came out, came out. Some was good, some was bad, but it was one of those moments where you knew you were getting better just because you took a step in the right direction in terms of attitude.
I remember being a little pissed and a little depressed a few weeks back when Justin told me that the sketches probably won’t be as funny in the finished product. This will probably be true, as we are pretty limited in our abilities right now. It’s a home camera, a computer, and two people. So quality will probably suffer, but it just got me feeling like, “Then why even fucking bother? If even we don’t think it will turn out well, then why shoot it.”
This wasn’t Justin’s intention, but this was how eager my brain was to shut the idea down before we even started.
Now I’m just like, “Fuck it. We’re doing it.”
Too many times have I let opportunities pass me by. It took me awhile, but I’m convinced that these things I want to do are worth doing.
And if it flops, at least I took the shot.
I guess what I’m trying to say is fuck unnecessary pessimism.
