I have only been doing comedy for a couple of years, and already I have been startled by the things I have learned. This is the real world and I have lived it for the past 26 years so I should know that no matter what, there are some things you must do to make it to where you want to be. One of those things, especially with comedy, is that you have to come to terms with the fact that you may not be selling out shows at Madison Square Garden. Like everything else in this world there are only a few people who are privileged enough to make it in the top 10 of certain things. I would love to be that guy selling out shows in big places and having a schedule booked solid for months on end, but when you come to terms with the fact that it may not happen it sobers you a little. I feel like I have what it takes to do what the big guys do, not right this second of course, but in the future.
Just because I said I have come to terms with the fact that I may not be big does not mean I am gonna stop trying! I will give it my all every chance I get to prove to the skeptics out there that I can do it and do it better than most. In this business you have to, at least deep down, feel in your heart that you are good enough to hang with the big boys.
I will be filming my sets this Friday and Saturday so I can get ready to make another DVD, one even better than the first. The first DVD was a dry run basically, this time I have a professional type camera set up and I have the tools around me to edit it and get it just right. It will be entitled Harry J. Riley: Then and Now and it will have higher production values then I even dreamed for the first one. I have my Macbook here and I will edit it with the software I have here. If I need to I will edit it more with the tools at the university. I will package this DVD in a DVD case instead of the lower looking CD cases. I will have to invest, I think, about 2-3 hundred to make the DVDs look the way I want them to. But I will be selling them for 15 bucks a piece so if it is good enough I will sell a lot of them (hopefully).
Still looking for a new car before the middle of Spring, mainly because I have been wanting to get some road work and can't with the piece of crap I got now.
I am scared that Child Support will take the money I saved in my account for my car.
I can not wait until the end of my case so I can get to paying child support and seeing my kid again. The funny thing about this is they are all on me about child support, but not one soul is making her let me see my kid. I can call and text all I want, but at the end of the day, she can say what she wants. That is scary to me. That a person can get you locked up if they say the right thing. I can pressure her to see my kid all day long and all she has to do is say, "I don't let him see her because he felt her up." and I am gone. I have seen this happen and I know the type of person I am dealing with. Adriane is as cold a person as I have ever seen in my life. She can manipulate people to get them to do what she wants them to. The thing is that I have to act now because if I don't I will lose my kid forever.
I do comedy because I like it, but another reason I do it is so I can get back at all the people that have wronged me in my life. Yes, I have let people wrong me, but what I can do to them on stage can be hurtful tenfold. I can go to Montana and Idaho and Oregon and Nevada and just tear them to pieces every night. And if successful driving a really fancy car by their house will help them remember that they fucked with the wrong Negro.
