SuperHero Alert:Vin Diesel

It's a bird! No, it's a plane! No! It's Vin Diesel! As a mild-mannered, buffed, shaved head actor by day, Vin's alter ego as a world class breakdancer goes undetected. Brilliant! Just by watching his moves it was easy to say he was destined for stardom!

But keep this information on the low for the superhero in the blue tracksuit MUST stay anonymous so that he may break on a piece of cardboard, polished concrete, or linoleum floor near you!

Wonder Twin powers activate - in the form of - Triple X ... in the form of - Body Mover!

Hey, Did You Hear the One About...

..250 comics standing outside of a comedy club on a Sunday morning attempting to audition for a major TV show and getting jacked out of the chance to do it?! HIL-AIR-REE-US!

I was one of them! Well, at least my material got better hanging out on the street, and I made cool connections with comics. I enjoyed watching an angry mob gathering outside ready to jack up native security guards that can't follow simple instructions. At least we were in a posh neighborhood in case rioting and looting broke out. I needed a plasma TV as it was. I would've rivaled that Iraqi dragging a bathtub home after Baghdad fell. You'd see me on TV with a homeless man's stank-ass jacket covering my face breaking into one of those ubiquitous coffee shops and walking out with a cappuccino maker screaming, "I SAID NO FOAM COFFEE BITCHES!"

With that said, I need to submit a video of my act for consideration in this show, hence, why I am alluding heavily to but not naming locations, names, or activities that transpired. To all of those that got a shot, congratulations! To all my brothers and sisters that didn't, we're all going to die of polio if we don't get it soon!

Back In the High Life

I got the chance to do standup tonight (finally!) at BW3 a.k.a. B-Dubs a.k.a Bufullo Wild Wings a.k.a. "the Chicken Shack". Tuesday and Wednesdays were wash outs due to either the club not really having open mic or prior commitments begin refreshed into my memory banks, thus, conflicting with my scheduled night of performance (and don't play that you went to see me and missed it people! ).

I did my first set of jokes about current events (War on Terror) and got good responses. I'm going to tighten it up and practice the hell out of it in the next few weeks. So, if you guys decide to come out andcheck it out, you may hear a lot of the same jokes! Good, cuz I heard repeating yourself yourself is is a a good good thing thing!

I'm taking it easy and workin on my act tomorrow (yes, I realize you anal-retentive people that today "technically" is tomorrow right now...I'll see you guys next week at the next Time Tellers That Never Get Laid Convention!). I am working a few things on the side for Salsation for the show and working on my lines as well. Feel free to drop some love when you get a chance.

Also, the cleanse will start in two weeks! Can't wait for my lemonade!

Is It Me?

I went to Mix last night. Very cool room to do stand up in. However, I was surrounded by at least 40 comics and that's about it. I signed in around 8 PM to only be thrown into a raffle-type jar and have my name picke out at random to determine the order. So, I went on 31st of 40 around 11:15 PM. Once again, nothing better than telling your jokes to a dead crowd of comics. *sigh* Hopefully tonight my new material will make somebody laugh.

Not all was lost however. I was able to jot down 5-6 solid ideas for new material. Hopefully jokes talking about my mom calling me all the time and asking me weird questions can be made into a funny bit! I love you , Mom!
