Well, That's Just Great
About to audition for a show…

because It’s been too long since I was thoroughly rejected or grudgingly accepted as the least worst option a director can find.

I watch the first thirty seconds of this and think to myself what I often think when I see commercials. They had to audition for this.

All the people in this had to audition. Which means there were other people who auditioned and weren’t chosen. So all these guys did something to set themselves apart from the rest.

Did the “Guy at Meeting” emote just the right amount of “I’m so sorry, but I must leave to pee” angst and cause the casting director to call out, “That’s it!” during his audition?

Did the “Guy in Car” (at his call back after making it past the first round of auditions the week before) combine looking frustrated with traffic and looking like he needed to pee real bad in ways that no one else could match? So maybe there was a better “Left and Right Looker” and a better “Gotta Pee Guy” but this guy was the better total package?

Did the great “Gotta Pee Guy” get cast in another role since he wasn’t right for the driving one? Was he so good that they wrote the “Sexually Frustrated in Bed because of his Prostate Guy” just for him?

And did “Urinal Guy” win the gig because he improvised leaning against the wall? If so, is there some guy at home right now screaming at the TV, “Dammit! It didn’t say in the stage directions to lean! If the director had told me leaning was OK I could have done that!”

These are the thoughts that clutter my brain and prevent me from getting anything meaningful accomplished in my life.
