comedian

In one of Jerry Seinfield's comedy performance, he talked about why people look for information which they already know. For example, when he was driving, he checked from the mirror to see if it's him driving the car. And he said, "what if I saw a little korean woman? Should I stop the car and check in the mirror again? If I still saw a little korean woman, I should say to myself 'stand corrected'. I am a little korean woman, and I want to get some manicure".

This is somewhat similar to my previous post. So it is not that weird to think that there might be an identical me driving an identical car somewhere living a hopefully more interesting life.

Talking about comedian, it is one of my unrealistic dream jobs, together with songwriter, housewife, population investigator, paparazzi, etc. However, my passion was kind of turned off after watching the film "comedian" by Jerry Seinfield.

It is pleasure to make friends laugh, but when it becomes that all you think is why people didn't laugh at your jokes or performance, it is apparently painful. It is ridiculous that rich people like Jerry are still doing the standup and get stressed by it, but it must be very difficult for new comedians. You have to have talent, passion, good memory, and have to work really hard.

It's funny that those comedians were so easily offended by any word from the audience. It seems that people who tell jokes can't really take jokes. Well, it's easy for me to say.
