First, the minimal ammount of backstory: I sent in an application to be a contestant on Last Comic Standing, and according to a few articles I found, everyone that auditioned by a video submission (as I did) that qualifies will have their auditions viewable and voted on by visitors to the NBC website. You also should know that a section of the application asked "Who are the comedians you admire most?" Along with a few favorites like Lewis Black and Robin Williams, I listed two semi-obscure comedians that I'd seen on Comedy Central Presents: Adam Ferrara and Gabriel Iglesias.
So anyway, in the dream I had last night, I'm surfing the net. . . Which is pathetic enough, right? Here I am in my subconcious, where I can say or do anything without regard for cost, size or reality, and what do I do with that time? I surf the net! The same thing I was doing before I passed out with my nose pushing the J key.
So anyway, I'm surfing the net in the dream, and I visit the NBC website and find, lo and behold, my audition video hosted right on the front page. I'm exited, but then I watch it and realize that, in the video, I look and sound exactly the way I did when I was ten years old.
Naturally, I wake up and can't help but think about what I must be thinking or that this might be some kind of omen and if so, what kind. I finally get an answer tonight though when, out of curiosity, I visit the NBC website and, lo and behold, they've finally updated their main page to feature Last Comic Standing.
But when I finally get the video to play, who is their final featured contestant?
Gabriel Iglesias.
Are you sure the audition as a ten-year-old was the dream?
