Hey everyone...most of that visit my page from time to time know that I am good friends with one of the most successful comics touring today. He has had two specials air on Comedy Central.

Well, every year Comedy Central holds the stand up showdown and has fans vote. I want Kyle to win because this type of thing really does matter in the industry and will help him become even more successful, which means that he might buy me lunch or coffee from time to time and I like both lunch and coffee (though I do not expect he will ever buy me both at the same time).

Anyway, please vote for Kyle because he is a good friend and a funny comic.

I really appreciate it
Dane

Do you ever begin to walk, with purpose and determination, to get something or do something and about 4 seconds into your walk you realize that you have no idea where the hell you are going?

In cases like that, I always just keep walking, with even just a little more purpose because I figure that might make me remember why I am walking to wherever I am walking to but then, inevitably, I begin to think how weird it is that in less than four seconds I can begin to do something and forget what I am doing and wondering if that means maybe I am getting Alzheimers or something like that or maybe I just didn't eat a good breakfast so my blood sugar is low and therefore the short term memory neurons are't firing quite like they need to....so I arrive somewhere and just look at whatever I could be doing and do that instead and then go back to where I began....or where I think I began because, let's be frank, I have no idea what the heck is happening now that I suffer from low blood sugar alzheimers short term memory loss disorder or whatever....but when I finally get back to where it began...I always go "oh shit!" cause I immediately remember what I was going to do to begin with.

I think, from now on, I will just go back immediately to the start and hope for the best....and eat a better breakfast.

You might be sitting back, thinking that your opinion doesn't matter...maybe your opinion, god forbid, is different from mine...but you really need to consider that in 2000, George Bush won the Presidency because of less than 600 votes in Florida. Four years ago, the Governor of Washington State beat her opponent by less than 130 votes....that is amazing!!! Are you telling me there were not at least 131 people who wanted the other guy to win but forgot to vote or just chose not to?

If I can't convince you to do it then maybe these folks can...

I've realized that I have been spending a lot more time on facebook than myspace lately...thing is, I like myspace a lot more than facebook. Sure, there are a few things I like over there but myspace is where I live...facebook is just where I visit.

But if you wanna...I am at facebook.com/danereade

coming soon....MORE COMEDY!

cheers
