Today, I was supposed to attend a stand up comedy event where the comedian Hannibal Buress was going to do a show. I had decided to expose myself to more comedy with the hopes that it will rub off on me. A few people close to me that are aware of my goal to be funny - told me that I needed to watch less courtroom drama and more comedy. 

However, earlier this week, I decided to stop being adventurous due to the delta variant. I don't need to be funny that bad. So along with canceling my WeWork membership and getting a few months supply of my medications and essentials, I cancelled my plans to attend the stand up comedy. 

So instead, I am now I am going to learn the hard way. I decided to read books about humorous writing. I specifically found a book called - 'How to be funny - even if you are not.' Somebody wrote the book with me in mind. I haven't started reading the book yet but I am excited at the prospect. I think humor can be a skill that can be developed and improved. Especially with writing. Even if it will be harder for someone like me, I believe it is doable. 

I will share a trick or two when I go through my books and lessons. I still have 13 days until I have to submit my writing for the Medium challenge. Let's hope I need less time to become funny.
