Can you suffer another Hypo thread?

Im wondering whether Seabreeze and others might suggest I cut back on starting threads like this. Is it OK?
Im rehearsing. Rehearsing for my big career as a stand up/sit down comedian. I want to play all the big venues in Heaven. God is shaping me to entertain the troops there. Because rumour has it there is a boredom factor. We will get bored playing harps and singing praise songs. God himself has only rapped me on the knuckles once for my jokes.
"Just remember Hypo. Im the one who gave you talent. Dont be such an egomaniac"
 
Thanks Sassy. I just feel all this self expression is leading somewhere even though it might seem useless now.
This life is just a rehearsal. But we shouldn't stop practising. We need to keep learning until we die. Don't rest on our laurels. Never think 'oh my life is over. better start coasting."
Im vaguely prosletysing here aren't I. Look Im more trying to convince myself more than anyone.
My humour comes from my anxiety. The very thing that can cripple me also is the core ingredient for potential success.
Fear is such a good resource for humour. Afraid of dying. Afraid of dying in pain. Afraid of being homeless. Afraid of being alone. Fear of being disabled. yes all these fears are real but you can either cope by worrying about it or not worrying about it. I choose to try and find the funny side of everything. Though of course that can be inappropriate sometimes.
 
My last chance for success. Comedians, wannabes or successful ones are often failures in everything else. Writers too maybe. We were failures in life. We didn't land the BIG career. We didn't become CEOs. We didn't quite measure up in other ways. But maybe in the long run it doesn't matter. If you can find something to laugh at daily, you are at least finding some joy in your life.
example...my dog tends to frown recently. But its a cute frown. Its like he is saying to us "take me seriously please" and i do take him seriously. That kind of tiny event is valuable in my life. My wife imitates our dog. And she is hysterically funny doing it. Holding her hands out doing a yoga like stretch. Cracks me up. We went to the park the other day on a glorious sunny winter day. it was sensational.
 
When people are in the mood to be entertained, they will laugh at anything whether amusing or not. This is the reason why many 'stand-up' comedians are so successful. At the end of a busy working week, workers just want to relax with a drink and laugh at something...anything. You have a captive audience.
