When writing a pilot script there are so many things to develop, consider, and bring into alignment. You have to really build the main characters to a three dimensional reality before actually knowing who they are and if you don’t have the actors picked, before knowing who is going to become them.

You have to create a situation or a setup in the characters lives right at the beginning that grabs the viewer and makes him compelled to watch moment after moment.

Then, in an ideal pilot script, you have to have the situation develop so that things have changed in the lives of the characters so they are now planted in a new situation which serves as the setup for the series.

I have noticed several things by studying pilots from several sitcoms. Almost always the main character has something magnetic and something detracting, a yin and a yang. Often though not always the main character causes trouble for others and this helps drive the plot. Often he has a driving force that he is trying to achieve. Almost always there is a singular main event, accompanied by possible subplots, which is the foundation that begins the series.

I hope to post a podcast episode soon detailing my findings and developments of understanding the form. I hope this is of benefit to some.

So I’m writing a pilot script for a TV comedy show. I have no idea how to write a pilot script for a TV comedy show. I have no idea how to write a joke. Knock knock. There’s no one there. And so I fight through various ideas and situations and character biographies trying to find people who love and cheat, who are good and neurotic, who are lovable and horrible, who are dichotomous I suppose, or not. I want to make a show that does not look like a cardboard house. I want an antique mansion with modern appliances and technology centrally wired throughout. I want nice open skylights in the form of plot development points, and really high quality surfaces like exotic hardwoods and high grade marble counter tops for the art design and lighting. And I want the actors to fill out the character forms as if they were born to do those roles. I want the best of the best. I want 90% Central American dark chocolate from whatever country is the best, oh yes, United States of America, this wonderful tropical place. Let’s make a TV show boys.

Tim Ferriss is always interesting because he has done more in the outside world than me. I have been listening to his podcast again. I may have done as much internally as him as far as cerebral development and character growth, or I may not, I am not bragging, just using him as a reference point as someone who is further along in his career development than myself but of a similar measure of inventiveness, abilities, analytical qualities and achievement. I like a lot of people, I could put a huge list of mentors and inspirers, and their specific tips and tricks, and I will soon, please remind me. I want to be everyone and do everything, and that is the decision problem conundrum. But it’s not. It’s actually an excellent problem and truly not a problem at all. I want maximum human spiritual growth. I realize I can only do so many things so I attack each day with a toothy wide grin like the Cheshire Peta and I always thirst for experience, excitement and adventure. I always elicit positive outcomes with every person and situation I encounter. I manifest health, wealth, joy, and excellent vibes. Best to everyone and happy 2016. We all rock. This is a win win blog post.

No not the ones who crash planes and fly beds, the TV shows.

I am writing and pitching a pilot script to a television studio where I have a connection.

I am going to go through the pilot episodes for Arrested Development, iCarly, Community, Brooklyn99, and Superstore because I feel like that’s the common average of the shows that influence the style I am trying to hit, figure out where the act points are (a sitcom script either has 2 or 3 acts I think – each one ending before a commercial break where the viewer goes “oh no” and at the end of act 1 trouble is coming, and at the end of act 2 trouble is here – at least that’s what I read in the Comic Toolbox), and figure out how the characters and situations are introduced and set up to incite the beginning of a television show. I should have a pretty good grasp on how to write the pilot after that. In the meantime as I am doing this I will also write and complete the pilot script making the above exercise redundant, uselessly time wasting, and unnecessary (also redundant).

Ok now I’m opening another store. Been logging 10 hour days developing the niche, the design, the product sourcing and the marketing plan. I hope to be live in 24 hours and generating sales within two weeks. This one is more targeted towards fast profits and less towards a personal brand empire.

Killerbroccoli is still developing its style and though I am getting at lot of love on Instagram with it I think it will take some time to be really profitable. The winter season will be a black theme with stark white contrasts. Same characters way less color palette.

I still feel that I am one of the greatest unknown singer songwriters around today and also one of the better actors. I also have huge potential as a standup comedian due to my energy and ability to perform strange characterizations impressions and voices and from my unconventional perspective on various topics in life. The stumbling point I find in standup is that audiences don’t know where I’m coming from or they don’t follow the speed at which I make my points or change topics. Of course this is my fault and the onus is on the comedian to bring the audience into the performance and cause them to laugh. If Robin Williams figured out hi-octane comedy I can too. Not that I’ve ever been a big fan of him but he did decent work more or less.

It’s all about me and my projects now. My philanthropy is my art expression and my income projects are to support that expression. There are millions out there who are trying to say something but none of them have my viewpoint or specific points of style and perspective.

I am trying to find optimal performance effectiveness. I consider every action and every activity and its position and importance in my day and my life. I am doing everything. Everything. Playing bass guitar to classic rock and new hip hop, building an Instagram for KillerBroccoli, hosting an open mic, writing a pilot script, developing a second online store, procrastinating releasing my podcast, tinkering with probiotics, essential amino acids, D3-K2, and caprlyic acid. Good ole caprylic acid. That is everything. I am not playing Liszt on the piano, and for this I am ashamed.

The world doesn’t know you unless you post. Or perform. Or interact. If you post on social media you exist. I have thousands of unposted pictures and blogs and I am disappointed in myself for this lack of fortitude. Is it better to perform to 50 people and kill the room with comedy and have that personal interaction one night and hopefully repeat it over and over again, or is it better to post a video online and have it go to 50 thousand people and not hear one actual laugh, but get spun into cyber rotation with many more ears and eyes swallowing your output from many different locations?

I am an expert in topics. That’s what an actor is. That’s what a comedian is. Some people specialize in Neuroscience, or the paranormal, or paleolithic lifestyle coaching or ecommerce marketing, or stock market trading and investing. I couldn’t limit myself to that. My passion is me. I am writing two books, and a book of poetry, not be racist against poetry but does it qualify as an actual book?

Does this blog feel cryptic to you? How can I make it more accessible. This platform is supposed to be straightforward ideas and considerations about the developments and projects in my life, and I have failed to offer any value, any content, any humor that is inherently worthwhile for anyone but myself. I strive to be a philanthropist even in just my ideas, but I possibly fall into the trap of being a narcissist due to the fact that my daily to do list always exceeds 30 entries, and you don’t want to see my evernote or my 20,000+ folder Drobo project hard drive. I have two main folders in it, Farmer and Superstar. Farmer is the seeds I have planted, ideas, plans, jokes, songs, stories and so on, and Superstar is the directory of main projects and their plans for fruition.

Comedy show tomorrow night at Bunga’s Den. Need to get out of cocoon mode and grab a microphone to generate levity in the guts of civilians.

I can’t wait for my new song to be released, but I have to wait, because it is not yet released.

Your attention has caused this dry humorless exercise in writing to become too lengthy and verbose. I command you to allow me to stop writing at this instant.

Buenas Noches,

Is the NFL rigged or not. I don’t care because when a game is close it’s way more exciting. I have no idea about the mechanics of professional sports or unprofessional sports for that matter. I am back on to promoting Killerbroccoli.com. I designed and opened the whole thing and I was creative-shirtly burnt to a krisp. I am going to sell on Esty and Ebay and gun it on Pinterest and Instagram.

I am also desigining a paleo store which will feature all sorts of various items supporting the paleo lifestyle. The whole point of this life is to star in a major hit television show and these are all endeavors to support that end.

I want to be able to eat gluten by accident if it’s hidden in my food and not suffer permanent future dementia and neuro degeneration. However that is what it appears to trigger in approximately 100 percent of the homo sapiens population as of now. I am learning about the basic strains of helpful microorganisms that can help protect against this outcome.

As far as developmental projects to forward my profile and authenticity as an actor worthy of being cast in lead roles in major studio productions, this blog, the podcast, the stores, various sketch videos, a pilot script, solo recording projects, and standup comedy are all still in the works.

Anyways the Giants won by 1 point. I honestly don’t care about any specific team I just enjoy the action of the game. And 35 cent chicken wings. Which certainly were cooked in questionable polyunsaturated vegetable oils cross contaminated with gluten breaded crap foods.

Never get up first thing in the day and eat. You haven’t earned it. Move, work, exercise, then eat.

If you wake up in the morning and you have to eat something before starting your day something is off. Your metabolism is screwed up.

If you go outside and run around the block 7 times you will do yourself a way bigger favor than eating breakfast.

Breakfast is a scam.Your body is designed to run more efficiently than that. Breakfast is not the most important meal of the day, it’s actually the meal of the day that is mandatory to skip, it’s actually not a meal of the day.

If you get into the particulars of what an American breakfast entails it gets even worse. Other than bacon and eggs, nonwithstanding the potential allergenic effects of egg white albumin on certain immunosensitive individuals (yes the yolk is the better part of the egg and egg white omelettes are like engineless racecars), breakfast foods are amongst the worst offenders of the American diet. Hey let’s wake up and have a sugar shotgun carbohydrate blast to the head and the gut before starting our day. Pancakes, toast, french toast, crepes, cereal, orange juice, waffles, crepes, oatmeal. Idiot foods. Non foods. Scam foods.

If you want to win, your breakfast consists of a one hour physical workout of any intensity and type that you choose. Just do that for six months, and as your metabolism improves over time and you realize what a true healthy hunger is you will thank me by subscribing to my blog and buying my t-shirts at killerbroccoli.com

Don’t fall for the illuminati one percent postindustrialist multi national corporate globalist scam called breakfast. You can beat your oppressors. Your morning hunger is a lie. It is evil and it holds you down. Move in the morning, rule the world.

The public sees you as one single person. They don’t see all your different moods and ideas and projects as seperate parts of your persona as you do.

ACDC sells one brand of hard rock and they haven’t changed the flavor since they opened for business in 1970whatever. Lady Gaga became famous for dance rock then switched to crooning and now does I don’t even know what kind of singer songwriting. That’s great for her to be so versatile but for me as a listener she has lost me. I want the Just Dance Gaga that I originally fell in love with. I want the Gaga brand before she smeared it.

I do comedy I act I design shirts and I release songs. To me they’re all completely different things. This could confuse the public. I don’t want people to laugh at my songs. Imagine Louis CK as a rapper. It wouldn’t work. Imagine Jay Z as a comedian. Would be horrible. Kanye as a comedian however… hmm. Might be hilarious.

Being a nut job on YouTube on stage and on Vine but then being serious on my songs can depreciate my brand. But since my brand isn’t even defined as it is, I am even harder to discern.

If I wear big shades and smooth sportcoats that’s great for my cool musician image but it detracts from my whackjob comedian perspective.

All of this makes me harder to market to the public and to cast me in television shows and movies, my ultimate career ambition.

The irony is, a greater actor should be able to embody all sorts of roles and take on all sorts of personas but on a day-to-day basis this is not what casting needs. They need the guy who rips off the bodega in Brooklyn or hands off the fulcrum to a secret operative. Maybe I’m thinking too small. Ok so I want to star in several movies and shows as an outlaw cowboy in the old west, then as a conflcited rock star, then a hilarious sitcom dad, then a failed actor who moves back in with his parents, then an interstellar border patrol agent who arrests illegal aliens in space, then a surreal weirdo whose senses never make any sense and he can’t tell where reality starts and his imagination ends, then an angry pizza chef who can’t control his temper, then then then then.

What do I say what do I look like who am I what do I wear who do you think I am?

Try to brand me but not with a burning hot iron rod because then I’m just a lousy cow on a ranch.

You can think, “nobody loves me, I don’t get no likes.”

Rodney Dangerfield complained he didn’t get no respect but he got a lot of likes, or at least a lot of laughs and a lot of money for not getting any respect.

Earn your likes bitch. You could complain, I could complain: I get no likes on Facebook, I get no likes on Instagram. I get no retweets on twitter. Suck it up. Grow up. Be a man. Earn your likes. Who are you? You’re nobody. You’re useless. You don’t deserve more than 4 likes. You’re not a pretty young 20 year old girl. Nobody is sexually thirsty over you, you haven’t done anything in your life, you haven’t starred in anything, you don’t have a standing ovation hit comedy show, so do the work, earn your likes. Right now you’re worth 3 likes on the social media open market. Your average likes income is 3 likes per post. You have other friends, they’re more charming, they have more charisma, they’re funnier, they’re better looking, they do more comedy shows, they do more TV shows, they travel to more fun places, they have more friends than you, they’re worth more likes than you. Some of them are worth 80 likes, some of them are worth 250 likes. Stop complaining, grow up, be a man, do the work, earn your likes. You’re old and ugly, what’s the point of liking you. Nothing. You haven’t sold anything great, you haven’t written anything great, you haven’t performed anything great. You’re nobody who’s not worth liking. So change that. Earn new likes, because you’re a man who knows how to work. You do the work, and then you get the likes.

So I can’t figure out why people buy things, why people like things, but I have partially figured out why people laugh at things.

I haven’t been floored by anything recently. I used to go out into the city watch crazy shows, music shows, comedy shows, plays and I used to get really excited and euphoric about it all. Now I just go, oh that’s an interesting perspective but I would have done it this way.

I guess it’s easy to figure out why people buy tickets to a show. They want to go out and be entertained and they have to make a choice so they pick something and go. It’s like lunch. You have to eat it because you’re hungry so you eventually pick something or you don’t decide then you have to go back to work hungry and grumpy and you don’t make that mistake again tomorrow. Unless you’re in ketosis but that’s another story.

What I can’t figure out is why people buy shirts. I guess that’s more precise. I sell shirts. And I have to create a desire in the mind of the public to buy them. Because they’re totally unnecessary and totally an emotional luxury purchase people have to want them. People can buy a plain t-shirt with no design for a few dollars at a big chain store. When they buy my shirts they’re buying my art. They’re saying Aaron Peta’s ideas are rad and by wearing them I am cooler. I am better. Than you. Ha.

So how do I create that emotion? Products don’t just speak for themselves. Tastemakers could do something. If Drake and Charli XCX started wearing all my shirts then suddenly the lifestyle would be in place. They have social credit. Yo Drake what’s your address I’ll send you ten shirts gratis.

I can say hey man I’m Aaron Peta I have this crazy lifestyle I’m a comedian and a singer in New York and I have miles of style and people will be like so… am… I. Who cares. Well my album got Worst Album of The Month in Vice Magazine  (ie – I’m an ironic genius) and charted in New York college radio (ie – I’m a college genius).

So that’s why you should care. I got a million jokes, I got a million songs, I got a million degrees of exaggeration, and all of it is coming out soon. All I gotta do now is cause everyone to buy it in a tidal wave chain reaction of cascading social proof then marry Ariana Grande.

But back to that other thing, I have no idea how to get more than 3 likes on Facebook which completely blows my mind.
