I performed a show for 5 people tonight.  I have had some really memorable great fun shows in front of small intimate crowds before.  Tonight was alright.  They were fun.  I am working with fellow Milwaukee pal, Brian Green, again.  I haven’t been home in just under 2 weeks.  I will be home Sunday and Monday and then I am off again for either 3 or 4 weeks.  Daaamn.  I’m having fun performing, but keeping myself productive and positive during the day is getting tough.  I showcased at a club I have never been to in Kansas City last night and it went great so hopefully I will be get some work from that club.  It’s called Famous Johnny’s so hopefully some day soon Johnny can be performing at Johnny’s.   Wow, I think I am really tired.  That was the gayest thing I have ever typed.

I am laying in bed in my hotel room watching the Steve Wilkos show.  I am pretty sure he was the bouncer for the Jerry Springer show and he somehow got his own show.  I am not a fan of his at all.  I have flipped through his show a few times before and his show is really something else.  I wasn’t sure what to write about, and his show just gave me an answer.  He has a part of his show called “Steve’s Mailbag”  He reads emails people send him and responds.  The first one was some guy telling him his show is fake.  He responded by telling him, no it isn’t and calling the guy a moron.  I’m sold.  The next one was some guy that was a recovering crack head telling Steve that his show helped him stay sober through tough love.  Wow, that guy really is a moron… if that’s even a real email.  Someone else wrote in saying that Steve is a jerk and all he does is yell at people in “dire straits” and that he should help them and not be such a pompous ass.  Steve told him he was a moron and said that his show is part of “moron-free tv” and that so morons like him aren’t allowed to watch his show.  I wish I had a role model like Steve Wilkos when I was growing up.  Then maybe today I would be dildo.  Oh, well.

It is 2:37am.  I just packed and tomorrow I am heading back out on the road for a month.  I am pretty excited.  I am leaving for Wichita, KS tomorrow.  From there, I go to St. Peters, MO, then to South Carolina, and then Florida for 2 weeks.  Should be fun.  I worked with Tommy Chong this past weekend at Zanies.  That was great.  Man, he has some weird fans.  

My girlfriend and I got a Nintendo Wii recently and I love it.  It is great.  Unfortunately you can connect your Wii to the internet and buy a bunch of old Nintendo games from when you were young (and really into video games) and so I am broke and haven’t really written much in about a week and a half.  I did write one new joke on Saturday, but it bombed horribly the first time I tried it.  The cool thing about the Wii is that you can lie to yourself and believe that you are working out when all you are really doing is just swinging one of your arms around.  I wonder if one arm can get stronger than the other from playing Wii.  When I was younger, I used to be worried that one of my arms would be way bigger than the other from playing with my wii-ner.

A huge thanks to everyone that came to the Comedy Cafe this past weekend. Saturday’s show was fantastic! I had a blast and the new stuff I am working on went over great. It was a blast working with Dylan Bolan, Dan Diebert, and Mike Merryfield. (See pic on pictures page) I’m writing now because I will be on the road nonstop for most of the summer starting this Wednesday when I head to Appleton… another great club, by the way. You can see where I will be heading this summer under performances to the right or for full schedule, click on “schedule.” I am excited. Unfortunately, I will be missing out on a couple of Gentlemens Hour shows, but we’ll also be having a couple special guests I think, so no worries… As always, they will all be great shows! I think I might start a new thing every time I make an entry where I give you a little piece of advice before signing out. Today’s advice is: Don’t see the newest Rambo movie.
