Stand-up Comedy

Comedy is a funny thing. I don’t mean that in an overly punny and witty way but the goal of comedy is to get people to laugh. I love getting people to laugh.

Growing up I was pretty interested in theater. I took part in a good handful of plays growing up: some were school productions and some were from local theater productions. I’ve also tried my hand at improv and sketch comedy in my high school’s improv group. The improv group was thrilling as you never knew what the other person on stage was going to say, in return you were never sure if you’d have something funny to say back.

Blizzard Sunday And Chase & Status – Blind Faith

What a wonderfully lazy Sunday. I hope you’re having fun lazing about like I am. I’m up here in New England caught up in the first blizzard of the season and enjoying my movie marathon of Despicable Me, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (surprisingly highly enjoyable), and after dinner I believe Taken will round out the day.

While I wait for dinner I’m sitting here and listening to a new song from Chase & Status, titled ‘Blind Faith’. The album isn’t out yet, and I’m listening to the song (on repeat) from a radio rip on YouTube. Have a listen to it and let me know if it has you moving like me.

Facebook Anxiety and More Nikon D7000 Videos

I read a post the other day that links posted to Facebook in the morning perform the best, i.e. they are more prominently displayed on other friends’ news feeds, thus getting seen more and subsequently (it is the hope) being clicked on the most. For the past two days I’ve been more or less consumed by this factoid, halting myself from writing and posting a post because it’s past 10am EST.

Well shit, that’s ruined at least two good posting impulses I’ve had in the past few days. All because of this little dirty factoid.

So it finally came to me today, even though it’s past 10am, to just fricken write about how I can’t get this factoid out of my head. It has wormed its way through my consciousness and given me a weird form of writer’s block that would not exist more than five years ago.

It’s amazing how much can change in such a short amount of time.

I want to write more about my new camera, the Nikon D7000, the flash mount for my Zoom that I ended up buying, and the videos that I’m putting together and posting on my YouTube account. (Find my YouTube account on the right rail, over click on this link: Harry Wolff’s YouTube Channel.)

So if you clicked on the YouTube link you’ll see I posted two vides taken with my new camera. I’m in the process of re-editing the ‘Demo Reel’ clip, putting in a little bit more example shots as well as cleaning up the video narrative. I hope to have that out by the weekend, but hopefully/probably sooner.

Also I’ve decided to make the posting frequency on this blog be as random as I am. I feel stupid stating this here because I know I’m damning myself to future transgressions of posting behavior, however that is just what I do, so I’m doing it. Be sure to sign up so you can get updates when I post. That is, if you like me. And even if you don’t like me sign up to be updated. I like you even if you don’t like me. And as the old saying goes, there’s not a whole lot of a difference between love and hate.

Week of Links 004

Sorry about the delay for getting this post online. It’s been a wickedly busy week and I figured it be better to take my time with this post rather than rush it. Lots of great goodies for you here. Read on, and enjoy!
