Blog #6- Sounds Like Burning

I am constantly in my own head. Sometimes it has it's benefits, and sometimes it gets me in trouble. I'll just talk about the benefits. Like I've said before, I like to put a twist on otherwise conventional thinking or philosophies. The way I've been writing my jokes is to try to make the situation uncomfortable and dark, which will either cause the audience to cringe or laugh. I always go as far as I can in my own head, and then slightly bring the joke back a notch so as the audience is not groaning and/or puking in their seats. I also want to avoid angry mobs chasing me in order to replace the body they've using to burn me in effigy.

As far as my subjects go...if you do something that is worthy of a joke, I'll tell that joke. If I don't like you, I might make fun of you. If you insult me, I will humiliate you in public via a joke. I have the potential to be very angry and then violent, so comedy is an avenue in which I can channel that negative energy.

Humor has become a defense mechanism for me. It's how I deal with a lot of things. And with the things that humor can't solve, I just put those on the back burner because I am at a time where I need humor. Below is Part 3 of Indifferent Graffitti.
