College Improv has been solidly kicking my ass since I got here. I'll admit I've tried out for
every improv troupe here I could and haven't even come close to making it into
one. Now I know what you trolls are going to say: "Cause you're not funny,
fuckface" or "Andrew? More like Andnotfunnyrew." Well thank you
in advance for your comments because I'm sure they will be quite clever. you
assholes. Now I thought this time would be as good a time as any to talk about
failure. We all fall short at some point or another. Most of us fail all the
time. There is nothing wrong with failing innately. However the problem comes
because at some point we tend to give up; whether it's on a class, on a friend,
or on a dream. I remember the summer after my first year of wrestling I went to
a team camp with some of the guys from the team. My record was 2-13. Few things
are worse than having to wake up every day and know with almost complete
certainty that you will be manhandled and brutalized 3 to 4 times that day. But
at wrestling camp it's still easy to keep on wrestling because you're kind of
stuck there. and no wrestler is going to go to his coach and team and say
"Coach, I'm a little tired of losing, I think I'm just going to
stop." Well, he might if he wanted the permanent name of "Pussybitch
Mcgee." Wrestlers are mean. But the problem with regular life, and regular
things is that there is no coach, and sometimes there's nobody to hold you
accountable but you. And it's up to you to say "I am no quitter" and
keep on pushing forward even when everything around you seems to be pushing
back. I am not going to stop making jokes because some college assholes didn't
think mine were any good. Don't think I'm saying do as I do, because I'm not
perfect. But don't quit as I won't and maybe we'll all get somewhere. So get
your face up off the ground, do work, and get shit done.
