Sorry everyone I kind of fell off the grid for a little while. I had to take sometime this summer to get some family things in order. The longer I went being off stage made me question everything and I lost some confidence when it came to doing comedy. I have been supporting my family off of comedy for a year and I am afraid the sacrifices are taking their toll. I did go back to work recently and after 5  mins on stage I realized I have no choice but to go forward regardless of what it costs me in the end. I am afraid I have some really tuff and extremely selfish decisions headed my way. In my life things seem to always happen for reason and I pray this time is no different!  Anyway I would love to hear from everyone and catch up so hit me up sometime.

Thanks to all from the gig in Sac last night! Very cool meeting you and hope to hear from you soon. I did learn last night that when you're really willing to be completely honest on stage that some of your best material can surface. I just wish I could have figured that out with out it costing me what it did. If becoming a comedian comes from sacrifice and f**king up then I have a shot of becoming really good. I guess its fitting that as a stand-up you end up alone on a stage because the amount of time it takes to get any good eats up everything and everyone you dreamed of sharing it with. This week I'm getting ready to go back on the road, just got to tie up a few loose ends. I did really enjoy the time off but desperately need to get back to doing my thing. Ok that is enough of my crap! How is everyone out there doing?

Hey everyone! Long time no Blog.  I finally made it to Yuba City, Ca home of my wifes family and to be honest I have just been hanging out by the pool and drinking. It feels so good to relax and not have to travel for a week or two. I am probally going to spend the summer working out of here because gas prices are really sucking the life out of me! Over $4 a gallon here and it only seems to be going up! I swear to god Bush is a idiot but none of the new guys seem to have a fix for it either so I think we are all screwed. Hell I am going to have to start working Frat parties just to eat so anyone who knows people needs to send them my way. I would really like to take this time and develop a writing team so anyone who thinks their funny or has a easy time telling someone when their not, needs to message me. I havent had the chance to stay up to date with everyone over the last month so I hope everyone is doing ok and really hope to hear from all of you soon.

What a long three weeks!! I wanted to do a Tribble run because I read that it is a comedians right of passage. I think it was close to 4000 miles in 3 weeks. I have to admit now that its over I probally learned more in the past 3 weeks than I have since becoming a comedian. I have tons of video that I am working on and should have it up soon. I will blog more about the whole expierance as soon as I can, I didnt get to see my kids while I was out and they will not let me do anything that doesnt involve them:)

Hey guys I am in Wyoming, just took a down day today and caught up on a bunch of stuff. I am still tripping over the Artie Lange fall out. My heart goes out to the guy and I hope he knows what he is doing. I guess I can understand his behavior as stupid as it may sound. I am not saying I agree with it but I have always been one of those people that when everything is going good, I screw it up. Hell two years ago the bus I live on now would fit in my living room! I envy people that can do the same thing for a lifetime. I dream of what it must feel like to be that content. Believe me I have tried many times and it always ends in disaster. I imagine the day will come when this will not work either but I hope this time since I realize my pattern I will welcome the change and not destroy everything. I guess somewhere I know how slim my chances are at succeeding and maybe the constant failure will forever keep the hunger alive. I know I'm insane but the only times I have felt good is when I am fighting for survival and the times I felt the worst is when I had achieved any success. So I guess I can understand how Artie could be miserable when most people would be ecstatic. Steve Martin makes reference to a screwed up childhood leading to a life in the arts. I guess I have to agree with him and if that is true than I am qualified to be a comedian just as much as anyone. Good luck Artie and best wishes finding something you can love.

Hey guys sorry for the lack of updates but getting a signal out here is just as hard as staying warm! I thought I was in Denver but it turns out that Denver is just the closest city with more than a 100 people! I'm in Loveland which is 70 miles a way! I just got in and need to head directly to my gig, I will hopefully find a place to upload everything tomorrow before driving to Wyoming. By the its freaking cold here!!!!! Jamie

Good morning everyone! I left for trip 2 yesterday from Burlington, Co. I made it to Limon, Co last night and settled in for the night. It was really cold last night but not unbearable. That would change within a few hours. I woke up to 6 inches of snow on the ground and this nasty winter mix still falling. There is absolutely nothing here but a store, old hotel and I think a pizza hut, that I have seen anyway. My plan was to jump a train to Denver but with the weather I am afraid of killing myself. The only traffic I have seen has been truckers so I might try my luck with them. I have to be in Denver tomorrow night so I don’t have too much time to waste. I packed much better this trip but my bag probably weighs 40 more pounds. Anyway I will try and post some stuff tonight before I make camp. Thanks to everyone taking the time to leave comments and send their best wishes, it really helps keep me motivated. Talk to you soon!

Welcome to Colorado! I got a late start today and got here way later than I needed to. The good news is I was so tired today that my driving scared my wife so bad she finally got the courage to drive Benji (our bus). She actually did really well so now she has no excuse ....haha. We got here so late that we had to check into the cheapest campground around, Walmart parking lot! For all you road warriors there are more than 3700 of them and I have never been questioned about staying overnight. No place better to people watch and teach your kids who to stay the hell away from. Plus with all the antennas its like having cable! Your right Valerie my wife should get a lifetime pass to heaven, I don't think she ever dreamed of rasing a family literally off of Walmart! That's love baby! Well not much to talk about today, just a lot of driving. Oh I signed a deal today to host my videos, details soon. Hopefully TV deal is next, details coming, promise! Its not like I don't have enough problems already but I guess it comes with the territory. Talk with you guys tomorrow. Welcome new friends, don't be strangers! Good night!

It’s great to be home. I will start with last nights show, thanks to the guys that came out, hopefully your drunk asses didn’t destroy the hotel room! The show was my best set yet, now I have it stuck in my head that all the time alone made it possible so crap I gotta keep it up. Also I can finally get a haircut! That was my goal, I could not get one until I did a full set with no hecklers. I honestly thought it would be at my ass first but oh well, I’ll take it. It hasnt been this long since my mullet in the 80’s! When your hair is half Indian and half white trash, it does some weird shit the longer it gets. So after the show, straight to the bus station. Thanks to everyone that hung after the show, hope to hear from you all soon. I got off the bus to discover I had made a huge mistake. I had taken the van keys with me on my trip which meant I had two problems. 1st I had no ride home and 2nd my wife had no transportation for a week and she had two toddlers at a RV park in a casino. So when I finally managed to get home, I got a hug & kiss and then she handed the kids and dogs right over. She disappeared to the shower for two hours while I took everyone out to play. 3 showers later I finally set down to dinner to discover of course she had no way to go anywhere so instead of the steak I dreamed of all week, I got Mac & Cheese w/hotdogs, yummy! So I now have to get a few hours of sleep so I can rise nice and early and get this god forsaken bus ready to move to Colorado. Then my next adventure begins, hiking to Washington State, to Idaho and then back to Wa again. Not sure if any of you guys live up that way or know anyone who does but tell them to come see me damnit! The gigs should be up on the site. I will shoot some stuff tomorrow of the hell that involves moving this 40 ft, 55 if you count the dolly and van piece of crap but not sure if I will have time to upload much. I got to make a lot of ground. I am booked at a really big showcase there so I have to get there and do all the promo crap! Because of my D-level status I didn’t get any tickets to give out to you fine people but it could be a huge break for me. Well good night everyone and I really hope to see some of you in Washington

Jesus Christ what a week! I’m exhausted and I’m so excited to get on stage that I can’t even sit down or take a nap. I showered and went to the hot tub and then showered again! Thank you my new best friend Greg for the lift today! There is nothing like going 120 in the middle of 15 bikes! Sorry I didn’t shoot it but I just wanted to enjoy myself. Wife would have freaked that I didn’t wear a helmet anyway. God what a rush!! I did post two videos, one of me dancing naked with buffalos and one of me peeing on an electric fence. The first one was not as fun as I imagined and the second hurt way more than I expected. My show got moved back to 10:00 since 7 people showed up to actually see me! WTF, I did not even bother to post this gig, they read I was coming to S Dakota and while in the casino saw my name and bought tickets!!! Holy crap is that cool!! I met them when I came in from the hot tub, just a bunch of dudes getting drunk. Very cool guys in my book! Apparently the headliner did not like that at all and between him and the casino rules, I can’t tape the show. Since my show got moved back they are giving me commission from the door and upgraded my room. I got 8 keys and gave the guys that came out a key, told them they could have it after midnight. I bought myself a 2:30 bus ticket back to Topeka. I got to drive the bus to Denver by Monday night. Then I kick off the next adventure. I saved $850 this week in gas, that’s insane! I plan to pack much better next trip. By the way Nancy, I had KFC today for lunch. Very good idea! It sucks that I can’t tape the show but maybe I can post my set list while on the bus. I can’t sleep and ride so it’s going to be a really long night. Maybe I can score some tree, it has to be good up here, what the hell else do they do. I did have a perkocet just incase I hurt myself and had to walk out of the woods but during the weather delay in Kansas I got bored and bye bye perkie. Slept like a rock that day. The booker offered me some powder but powder to me is like Chinese food, if you don’t have enough to do every 10 mins then it just pisses you off after those 10 mins of course. I will probably just have a couple of shots of goldslager and a beer or two. That should knock me out for the ride. Well I better go; I have to listen to crazy metal before my shows for like 30mins. It’s weird the rest of the time I’m a R&B  and hip hop guy. Screwed up child hood biting me in the ass again, I guess. Talk to you soon.
