Insult help - EXPLICIT

I think that it's weird when you are in a verbal argument and someone tries to insult you by saying something like "Suck My Dick"  Really?  Why does my punishment have to bring you pleasure?  Also, why so passive?  Why do I have to actively suck your dick?  Is it because you don't want to sound gay when you say, "Let me fuck your mouth!"

 

What about "Go fuck yourself"?  Go fuck myself?  Do you mean masturbate?  I do that all the time.

 

I don't think I have even one brain cell working today.

Boston Comedy Festival LOSER! " Karaoke tonight?

Hey everyone!  I lost the Boston Comedy fest finals.

 

In fact I did what I wanted to do at the festival.  I wanted to get out there and get more well known and I wanted to make it to the finals.  Mission accomplished on both of those.

 

During the preliminary and the semifinal rounds I was almost unstoppable.  During the finals however, there was quite the shift in the attending audience age.  I got laughs from the younger people, but the older more conservative part of the crowd would almost gasp in horror at some of the subject matter I shose.  It's kind of interesting to be able to please and horrify sections of the audience at the same time.

 

Myq Kaplan was my pick to win, he came in second.  Tommy Savitt, who was nowhere on my radar won.   Check out his website and make your own decision.  He's very good at what he does and a long time pro.

 

KARAOKE TONIGHT NYC?

 

I am back in town so I will be hanging out with the live karaoke band at Mo Pitkins House of Satisfaction on Ave A between 2 and 3 tonight from 9 pm to midnight.

 

Come on.  let's sing Karaoke, have a drink and a snuggle.

Hi Lewis Black

At the Boston Festival after party last night, I tried to say hello to Lewis Black like a hundred times.  He was always flitiing in and out of other conversations and never stopped for a moment.  I wish I could have seen his show but I wanted to watch the rest of the semi finals and check out the other comics that were going to be in the finals. 

 

This is it I guess.  From thousands of tapes and then 94 entrants in the preliminaries, it's now down to eight comics that will compete for the top position.  I believe there is only first place and a runner-up.  My money is on either Myq Kaplan, Robert Mac, or me.  I hope it's me.

 

Is Lewis Black too old to flit?

Boston Comedy Finals

If you are in Boston then come to the Boston Comedy Festival finals.  I made it all the way and strangely enough, I had no idea that it was  big deal. 

 

The final show is at:

 

The Majestic Theater in Boston

Saturday 8:00 pm

TICKETS: http://www.maj.org/P2008/bcf_contest.html

My picks for the contests are Hannibal and Myq Kaplan.  You can find out more about them on the festival website or by Google.  Both of them are smart and very funny.  I don't think that I would be unhappy to lose to either of them.   Bear in mind that there are many comics in the festival that I haven't seen and are freaking hilarious so there may very well be plenty of people that I would not be unhappy to lose to.

 

( I hope I win.)

 

altruism is for sissies.

 

 

 

 

Back to Boston

I am on my way back to Boston for the second leg of the Boston Comedy competition and I am traveling on the exquisite Limo Liner bus.  It's like being in first class, but on a bus.  There is even a stwardess who tries to look elegant as she bounces down the aisle.

 

It has wi-fi and outlets at every seat. YAY!

 

OOps.  I had my iphone plugged in and recharging in my pocket.  It warmed up and melted the chocolate bar that I had there.  Ewww.  Chocolate covered iphone!

Poor Britney

Britney Spears should be ashamed of losing her kids.  How ashamed should she be of losing her kids?

 

Michael Jackson still has his kids.

Time to call my mom

I always wait until my mother calls me and then I fee guilty.  I have to call her first because it's been almost two weeks since I've talked to her.  I want to be a good sone and this is my big chance.

 

I should probably be calling her instead of typing this.

Boston Comedy Fest Day - 1

The first day of the Bostone comedy festival I traveled up to boston on the Lucky Star line out of Chinatown at about 11 am. We had one pit-stop at a grocery store where I bought enormos amounts of String cheese.

When I got to the festival, there was a guy who handed out flyers that listed everyone there so that they could make a ppol as to who was going to win the contest as part of the fest. Basicaqlly it was a sheet with every participant listed and a number by their name showing whether or not they were favorites fior the preliminary rounds. I was favored, but many people I knew were not. Kind of daunting.

When the contest finally took place, I ended up "winning". It's not really a win yet. I basically move on to the next round. Thursday is the semi finals andsaturday is the finals. I am going back ti NYC in the morning and will be back in boston by Thursday.

If anyone is around, look me up. SOX!!!!!!!!

P. S. I know nothing about sports. One of my friends told me to put that there.

You Don't hav a Cell Phone

If you don’t have a cell phone at this point in your life then you are actively fighting civilization. It’s not like you don’t have an ipod. An ipod is a quickly growing trend that may very well become the mainstream way of listening to and cataloguing your music, but its not quite there yet. A cell phone is now completely part of how we communicate. If you are holding out, then please stop being a pussy about it. Stop using; land phones as well. Switch back to the telegraph. What the hell are you doing reading this on the internet?

Some people have said to me that most people in the world don’t have cell phones. I believe they are referring to third word countries and small European villages, but honestly…. Who want to cal them?

Draw me something

At a restaurant last night a woman approached me and announce that she had seen me do comedy.  I asked her what she did and she said she was a visual artist.

 

Now, when people find out that you are a professional comedian the most popular response is for them to immediately ask you to tell them a joke.  My usual response is to tell them I am a professional comedian so they should pay me.  I thought it would bw a delightful turn if I asked the woman who had just told me that she was an artist to draw me something.

 

Her:  Uh.. Okay.. I will sometime.

 

Me: Now.

 

Her: Now?

 

Me: Yes.

 

Her:  Okay... What do you want me to draw?

 

Me: A bunny rabbit.

 

Her: A bunny rabbut?  ... doing what?

 

Me:  A bunny rabbit smiling and holding an easter egg.

 

Her:  I don't have a marker.

 

Me:  I've got a pen.

 

She half heartedly drew me the crappiest rabbit I have ever seen.  It was my own fault.

Tell a Hot Girl she's wrong

Spend today telling a hot girl that she’s wrong. They don’t hear it enough. Guys seem to think that if you agree with a woman long enough that she will inevitably get into bed with them. At this rate the number of hot girls who believe they know everything has grown exponentially. The only way we can stop this is by telling a hot girl that she is incorrect or mistake, you have to do this even if she right because it’s more important to thin the numbers than to be fair.

The only reason you should tell a hot girl that she is right is if she has read this. Then tell her you told her she was right because she’s not hot.

Last Night I went to see music

I went to an open mic in Washington Heights.

 

I went with a friend who sat me by this woman she knew.  The woman had a crush on the guy on stage singing a throaty metrosexual balad.  I thought it would be funny to pretend I didnt know that she had a crush and jsu keep bringing up how god awful the singer was.  I expressed interest in throwing a bottle at him over and over again.  He was terrible, but in retrospect.  what the hell is wrong with me?

My Name is "I'm on NBC this week"!

Hey guys!

 

The season premiere of My Name is Earl that I have a guest starring spot on is on this week.  This will actually be the second time I have worked with Jason Lee.  The first time was in the movie A Guy Thing where he falsely accuses me of beating him up.  This time he has to make a deal with me in order to help one of his wronged people on his list.

 

I am not in it an incredible amount, but I do have a couple of scenes and one scene with Earl where I try to look threatening.  I play a gang leader in prison.

 

Anyhow, I am also now in preproduction for a new film that I am writing and directing.   I'll keep you informed.
