Happy 07

I hope everyone had a kick ass holiday with friends and family..if not i hope you didnt drink yourself into a coma.. (is that how you spell coma? maybe its comma? no thats stupid.. whatever spelling means in a vegitable state..fuck.. is that how you spell vegitable? all the fucking technology in the world and they cant add a spell check to myspace?!? )


FRIENDS, FANS, AND FAMILY


I just wanna say THANK YOU to everyone who has made this year as wonderful as it has been for me, from just emails saying hey, to people who bought CDs, to people who came out to the shows.. I hope you all had as much fun as i did.. and ill try and keep things interesting for ya! This year has been pretty wild, it started off pretty calm but as i kept telling some of my close friends i thought 07 was going to be my year and it definitely was from being booked solid the last quarter of the year to selling over 100 copies of my CD that i released a few months ago, setting up a 20 stop comedy tour at some of the biggest name clubs in the Midwest with some of my closet friends and fellow comics, the CW Star auditioning being in the top 10 finalist, and well to be honest i couldn't have done ONE of those things without YOU! So my heart goes out to all of you whoever and where ever you are.. I cant say it enough, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! From the bottom of my heart i appreciate it.

THANK YOU

Oklahoma City

so im sitting in the Oklahoma City Airport waiting on my delayed flight... what a perfect time for a trip.. middle of these fucking snow storms packing 5 inches of ice along with them.. i knew i was gonna have problems getting home because when i flew in to oklahoma i got stuck in kansas.. let me tell ya that was the smallest airport ive ever seen,, it was so small they didnt have loud speakers it was just some redneck yelling across the lobby.."Flight # 11..now boarding... and dont let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya!" I flew from columbus OH to St Louis MI then was supposed to land in Oklahoma City OK.. we circled oklahoma for an hour before we landed in Kansas... the pilot came on the speaker and goes "umm folks theres alot of fog over oklahoma so we cant land right now so what we are going to do it refuel and go back and circle for roughly hour to an hour and a half and if we cant land we will take everyone back to St Louis"... not what i wanted to hear when showtime is 800pm that night... so the headliner who also happens to be a very good friend of mine Derek Richards drives to kansas and picks my sorry ass up...

the weekend was fun, the club was beautiful and the staff was nice.. ill post some pics of this place it was amazing.. ive never been to a nicer place... two giant grand pianos on stage..which i attempted to play in the middle of our last show lol... we stayed at this shitty days inn hotel across town which judging by the sounds they had children doing the house cleaning... or maybe it was bring your kid to work weekend.. whatever it was they woke me up every two hours in the mornings... part of an undeclared wake up call...

so that takes us today where i have offically taken my first ever taxi ride... the driver was a huge womens basketball fan... he not only knew stats but family backgrounds on these girls... borderline creepy... and he kind of did a dick move to get more money from me.. right as we were pulling up to the airport he was tlaking about his only son coming home from iraq for xmas and how much the plane ticket cost... "aaawweee" right..WRONG.. i mean god bless that his son is coming home for xmas but to bring up right before i tip you..,come on... i aint stupid... we aint in kansas anymore dorthy...so that takes us to now, sitting here not wanting to pay 8 bucks to get online... thinking im not gonna make it home tonight... i dont really get nervous when i fly but i do this weird game in my head.. where i look at the people on the flight and i judge them..not in a bad way just in a safe way.. like this plane cant go down because that guy has to be too important to die.. like i look for people and judge how important they are and if theres enough of them theres no way the plane is going down because the world couldnt function without them...but i gotta be honest here people... two guys with mullets are my flight this time... so its hard telling if im making it home or not tonight...


So i made it home..barely.. my flight was de-fucking-layed big time.. it was supposed to leave at 615.. then 715..then 725..then 745..755.. finally we board the plane at 8pm.. its only a 45 min flight back to columbus OH. So i pass out and was gonna sleep on the way home..i wake up 35mins later and we are sitting on the runway still. Yea, not impressed. The pilot comes out and says "Sorry im on overtime" and walks off the plane. Someone comes on the loudspeaker and tells us another pilot is on his way, we will be taking off in 15mins... long story short we sat on the plane til 10pm...2 fucking hours just sitting on a plane.. oh well at least we made it home.

Oklahoma where the buffalo roam and so does my cell phone..
Heres a quick description of the place.. its called Bricktown.. so the entire place is, you guessed it, BRICKS... its soo nice.. and the club is one giant building with like 6 different other clubs inside.. theres a hip dance room, an 80s dance room, a karokee room, live rock band room, coffee shop, and the comedy club is downstairs.. the whole place has a color theme to it, the whole place is all deep reds and golds and like a purple color.. it was beautiful...
