The prioritization is all wrong

I sit here on my wobbly stool at my desk which is scattered with train tickets, receipts and gig tickets.  I give these bits of litter far too much worth.  I resent just throwing them away, because ive paid money for them, but they have served their purpose and I need to move forward and throw them away.  The fact that I havent thrown them away, reflects my mood that I havent moved on in anything in my life. My comedy seems dead end, doing the same gigs with the same comedians or the same kind of comedians.  In my frustration I even tried doing the Comedy stores gong show this month, something I promised myself I would never do again.  Trying to win over a crowd who are not interested in comedy, but interested in heckling isnt something im proud of doing.  I tried to do it in a jovial manner, not taking it seriously, but the realization that progressing at the comedy store means winning over that crowd, which is something i cant do with my style of comedy, is frustrating.

Lets talk about Christmas Number one shall we? Isnt it great? Rage against the machine got to number one. Fantastic. One up over simon cowell, right? .........

Im now going to tell you why this whole Christmas number one thing has irritated me.......

-It has highlighted this countries mentality of prioritizing the wrong things.

Simon Cowell does not care about record sales.  He knows that the only money left in the music industry is through live shows and television.  The publicity that the Christmas number one race only helped in generating a bigger media profile for his x factor winner.  All the people thinking they were making some big protest by having Rage at number one need to stand back and ask themselves, what have they really achieved? Fuck all.

On my street only one person gets milk from the milkman, which means that at 4am I get awoken by the sound of the milkmans van coming down my street.  I asked the woman why she still gets milk from the milkman and she replied that the milkman is a british institution, and that if people like her stopped getting milk from the milkman, they would die out, and this would be a travesty.

The milkman was introduced in a time when fresh milk was not able to be stored in large quantities in supermarkets.  Now we have this luxury, its time to move on.  Why would the disappearance of the milkman be such a disaster. Its not like they are all sent out in a field to be shot.  Its the same with the mass grief of Woolworths closing down.  Its a shop. Not a person.  You didnt care when it was open, you shouldnt care when its closed.  

These subjects just reflect the countries live for the weekend mentality and the majority of people who just save their earnings for 2 weeks in the sun to get shitfaced in a country they have no desire of learning about, but are only there because it very very hot.

I work in a supermarket.  Everyone has to go to the supermarket.  Its the best place to see what society is like.  I can tell you, it frightens me the amount of people who dont know how to look after themselves.  That dont know the basics, like cooking and cleaning.  People who ask where items are in a shop.  Not sections, but items. Like frozen pizza.  That would be in the frozen section.  Your an adult, you must be able to navigate yourself through a supermarket by now.  Its all laid out nicely for you.  Its not the Crystal fucking maze!  Also, middle aged people asking how long to cook meat for.  What have you been eating for the past 35 years? or have you had a butler cooking for you? 

Im finally going to see Daniel Kitson live on the 6th of january. Yay!
