We had dinner last night with two very good people. There was some discussion of television writing/development (which they do) and I had one of those questions pop into my brain later in the evening. If I wrote for a telelvision show (btw, I don't want to, unless its the long-planned Great Onionhead Monster Variety Hour) what shows would I want to write for.
Just knowing my skills/limitations I would have to pick either the Daily Show or the Dave Chapelle show. I think I would do better in short comedy bits as opposed to long drama. Having said that, I imagine the other writers on those shows would go to the boss at some point and ask if that punk, Mason, was ever going to contribute anything.
Last night's conversation also brought up that ever present question in my life... "What do you do?" The real answer is "I don't know, I've never known". The current answer seems to be "odd jobs with very cool projects" but that's not much of an answer. I will be 36 in June, I really do need to figure this out at some point.
This happens everytime I talk to very productive and smart people.
