Default Humor in those that struggle in life

I am not what one would call a 'class clown', but I have found that people find me incredibly funny when I am angry. Imagine Kramer, if you will, on Seinfeld. That's me when I get angry :) I have never been one to stay angry for long, for any reason.

Last fall I found about Cirque Du Soleil, bought the box set at a retail store, and have completely fallen in love with Cirque. Some day I hope to see their shows live. In one show, La Nouba (the version that is shown on the boxset dvd), the clown act where he turns a broken mirror into an electric guitar, then into a broken spider web, is my favorite clown act in the entire boxset. When I see that clown, I think of me. I've always been one to do things the hard way, and I often do go about doing things in a way that leaves people thinking "what on earth is he doing?" :D

I've never been an actor, or been in any serious plays, but I'm very interested in the art of clowning and doing dry humor skits. I hope to some day be on a stage.
