From a purely comedy region of left field, how does one prove one exists?

Cogito ergo sum; I think therefore I am.
That is enough for me.

Wow. That is a pretty big leap.
Understanding it as an acceptable belief, I dont understand the logical proof going from thinking to being.

Well, then answer this: If I think, how can I not exist? For I, at the very least, exist in thought.

It has nothing to do with matter/energy. It has to do with thought, in whatever form it manifests. The fact that I think is enough.
If I think I exist, I do exist, else I would not be able to think.

That is the problem. Thought is supposed to be energy.
If you think, and you produce thought to think yourself real, that would be circular logic meaning you not only "think therefore you are", but think as a result OF your thought.

Then what are God's thoughts made of?
"If you think," FULL STOP
That's all there is to it. The fact of your thought proves your existence.
How can something that doesn't exist think?

Of course illusions exist. You can perceive them, 'illusion' even has an entry in the dictionary.
Things that don't exist can't be defined can they? They have no properties. They do not exist.
Again I ask though, how can something that doesn't exist think?
