Lesson #44: On the Fly

Text: "My brother Farid and I started a Youtube channel. We make comedy sketches. We dress up in silly make shift costumes and basically embarrass ourselves for ten minutes at a time. We have very different personalities. He is spontaneous and full of energy while I have a hard time finding something funny to say on the fly. I have to script, rehearse and prepare myself mentally before shooting. Half the time he doesn’t even know what the video is going to be about. I do most of the thinking and coming up with a set up and when we start shooting he riffs off and starts saying whatever crosses his mind. He has no filter. That’s how he is in real life as well. He wears his heart on his sleeve. He has made many life changing decisions in the spur of the moment, like that time he moved to Adrar and stayed there for two years. He has said many inappropriate things and only got away with it because he is so funny and charming. He could give you the shirt off his back if he saw you needed something. He has a hard time keeping a job because he is all over the map but this hobby of ours is really working well for both of us. He has the freedom to be himself, more than that, he shines not in spite of his personality but thanks to it. He helps me loosen up. I tend to be a bit more rigid and goal oriented. We need that too for our project. We really complement each other. It’s a hobby now but who knows, we might become professional comedians some day or maybe start a business together. I don’t know. The future is full of possibilities."

Thank you for listening. Love you all :)
