this is a little sincere thing about how I feel- please comment BOOHOO WHITE BOY 😭 below

every day I think for maybe 90% of the time I’m awake “this is a waste of time.” I don’t have a job that helps people in any tangible way, or one that makes a lot of money for my bombshell wife and my idiot son Jotaro Charmander Mead. I make comedy sketches, I go on my phone, and I get mad at teenagers in Washington Square Park for wearing more arcteryx than me. 

For 4 years, the only thing that really mattered to me was comedy. I was ok with hating my job, not having a girlfriend, having a mad small penis (just kidding) (its normal) because I had comedy, which was supposed to be good in and of itself. It didn’t matter if I was bombing or not getting anywhere career-wise, because I was young and on the grind and there was some kind of innate value in that.

I stopped feeling like that sometime this year. Comedy became laborious. Big word. I’m very smart. I felt miserable when I posted something to little response. I got bitter when people did better on a show than I did. I felt the pressure to succeed and make a real career-defining move as I matured from Spunky 23 Year Old to Guy Who’s Almost 30 Also Bald. Fat

And then I took a look around and realized: who gives even half a fuck. brother I got air in these lungs. 4 limbs. Friends who love me. People who want me around. There’s a sun up there in that sky and, inshallah, god willing, at least 40 more years on that clock for me. My shit is good. I’m blessed.

If you’re in these photos or you’re not, you mean the fuckin WORLD to me, man. 2026 we’re doing shit because we love it and not because we’re trying to get a brand deal with a new crypto-trading app called Poop.io

please vote for me NYCJFLFringe’s most earnest creator to watch for 2026
