In my early 20s I was so miserable doing construction, I wanted something that paid money. I liked nice stuff. I liked cars and architecture, and things that cost money. I wanted to not swing a hammer, and make moneyโฆ and not do stuff that was dirty. I attempted to get into comedy. I started to do stand-up, but I wasnโt very good at it.
