Marc Maron

Other than Woody Allen, I've just found someone else who's even more neurotic than me... Marc Maron.

I was just watching last night's episode of Conan, since the only other new episode on my PVR was Primetime Nightline: Beyond "Battle With the Devil". Now I started watching Nightline, but the images of real 'exorcisms' were freaking me out on top of my anxiety attack. I was trying to calm down and I knew this would give me anxiety and nightmares. I decided to switch to Conan. I made the right decision. Don't get me wrong I love Conan any day, but my other recordings tend to beat his episodes. Seth Green was funny, but Marc Maron retelling his hypochondria of mouth cancer killed me and made me feel completely normal. I had a similar hypochondriac moment when I was 16 when my lymphnodes in my armpits were crazy swollen I obsessed about having cancer. I later found out that outdoor cats carry bacteria on their paws and nails that when you get scratched it can cause symptoms like swollen lymphnodes under your arms. I got scratched by an outdoor cat. I felt more embarrassed than "a survivor of cancer."

I think my anxiety attack this evening came about by me cleaning the only clutter in my apartment, my unused kitchen countertop. I like to rationalize everything. It gives chaos control. Putting order to the chaos of the counter had the opposite effect on me. I have no idea why.

I ran out of thoughts. If you have the time, see if you can find the Marc Maron interview from last night's episode of Conan. I couldn't bare to delete the episode. They made a joke about fanatical HP fans committing suicide, and then an HP fan threatened to jump from the rafters until Andy Richter came to save the day wearing a Batman mask and cape like the live action TV show from whatever decade. I <3 you Andy, but holy shit, you in that Batman mask took my breath away. Conan's reaction only added to how I also felt about it. You should look that up too if you can find that too.

God bless Conan and Andy Richter and America.
