about updating my blog and for that I apologize. Between Facebook, Twitter, Myspace (making a comeback) and my website, it's all been hard to keep up with. I've been traveling a lot lately. Went to Guam with Jo Koy that was SUPER DUPER fun and then did the Improvs (Brea and Ontario) w/ Jo Koy and Adam Hammer and then, most recently, was in South Texas (headlining) with Chris Storin as my feature. It was a good time but I didn't want to fly so we drove. On the 29 hour ride home I really began to regret that :-/

I had a GREAT time there and even got a standing O in McAllen, Texas at the Cine El Rey. Shout out to TABLE 3 :-) Super Rowdy bunch at table 3 but had such a good time with them and they really made it fun. I did do a bit of drinking that night after the show but I thought it was a good time to celebrate and the following nights it was business as usual.

We were trying to make it home after the last show in Brownsville on a Friday night to do my friend Sqweek's Birthday show that I was supposed to be headlining. I figured with the time change and everything it should be possible but in the end it was not. I was able to warn her in enough time that she was able to get a replacement but really wish I coulda' made it.

As for what's going on right now, we got back on Sunday morning and I've been in Oakland since. Tomorrow I will be staying in the city (San Francisco) where I will be featuring for Russell Peters. I believe it is 9 shows we are doing and they are ALREADY all SOLD OUT. The guy is absolutely amazing and I am glad to be working with him.

For any of the new friends and comedy fans I have met don't worry there is more stuff with Jo Koy planned. He is a really good friend of mine and I absolutely love working with him.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention, I was on Comedy Central's Live At Gotham this past Friday and am getting some really good feedback on that. I've got A LOT of stuff going on and really could go on and on but I'm kinda' tired and should probably get some sleep now. Check out my schedule (www.thairivera.com), it has SOME of the stuff I have coming up and I'll be adding more in the coming days weeks and months. Life is great and I thank you all for reading :-)

If you want you can check me out at ThaiRivera.com. I don't really know how much longer myspace will be going but it's not looking good. Most people I know are on facebook now anyway but I will continue to keep a blog for the people that want to follow on my website. My website is still a work in progress but I should start doing more with it and will. You know me, nothing special just the what's ups what's goods, and who's pissing me off. Take care and let's all pray for myspace. Maybe we'll all come back.

I'm tired and don't have much to say. I've been going through a great but difficult period. I guess one could wonder how the two situations could exist at the same time. I am lonely sometimes but realize that for right now I have to be alone. I miss my family but know that this where I have to be. I love my friends but can't spend as much time as I'd like with them because there are things that need to be done. I enjoy where I live but have to be gone a lot of the time so I can pay for it. I am always working on new material and am working very hard on all the things that need to be worked on but am surrounded by GREAT people that love me and take care of me in so many ways so I can't be too down about anything. Very good things are happening right now and in some instances I am the one responsible for keeping them on track. I hope everyone understands but can't really let it bother me too much if they don't. There are times I would rather be doing fun stuff instead of work stuff but I know if I handle the work the fun can always come late :-)

This was my little sister's blog and I think it is GREAT. She really knows me

I had to do some figurin' out with the new compooter tonight. I love it and I love my life all together. I love my friends for helping me and taking care of me. I know I haven't blogged in a minute but come on how many ways can we keep up?

I tweet, I myspace, I yahoo, I facebook, I AOL, sometimes I ADAM ;-) I mean really I AM ON the grid. I'm beginning to think the reason I don't have a stalker is because I'm just too easy. I need to learn to play hard to get. That's what everybody tells me and I do but instead I play impossible to get and I AIN'T "playing".

Right now a person has to have their shit together (or be REALLY CUTE) to get my attention and not a lot people are looking for the same things I am or can put up with my shit. I know from reading my blogs you might think I'm a delicate flower, that's the picture I paint. But I am in fact a bit hard to live with at times.

So anyway, where was I going with all this? Oh yeah this is what I was trying to say. I need to be able to live my life. I can't always update my blog and tweet and status update and meet people and perform and whatever else it is you guys EXPECT!!! I MEAN, STOP BEING SO GODDAMN NEEDY!!!! I try my best but you guys are never happy. I'm not gonna just be some human punching bag. I'm taking a stand....

Early in the morning I put breakfast at your table and make sure that your coffee has its sugar and cream your eggs are over easy your toast done lightly all that's missing is your morning....

I think we all know what I'm getting at I love you and hope life is being good to you now let me get some sleep. You picked a hell of an hour to start an argument :-)

THIS WAS WRITTEN LAST NIGHT BUT I KEPT GETTING THE "ERROR MESSAGE"

Okay, so Michael Jackson died today and I'm kinda' happy about it for his sake. I'm sure he knew the best of his life had probably passed. He was a beat as a child, became the biggest thing in the world, and then there were the "accusations" and then at a point became everybody's joke. I don't really understand why everyone pretends to be so sad. Actual fans I can understand but for the most part people just made fun of him. I know I have a couple Michael Jackson jokes in my long set, sometimes. I guess now that he's dead that makes them current again so that sometimes will now be and almost all the time. Who knows? All I know is that Michael Jackson was not that big in my life anymore for me to really be SAD. I think it's too bad for the people that really loved him but maybe it was a good time for him to go. He had just sold out some shows and was working on an album and maybe it was better for him to go out on hope than live through disappointment and ridicule. I hope Michael Jackson enjoys heaven and I will always be thankful to Michael Jackson for making some great songs and inspiring the cool "Beat It" jacket that I wore when I was a kid. I am happy for him that he moved on. Besides I personally had an OUTSTANDING day and not Michael Jackson, or Farrah Fawcett or Jeff Goldblum (who turned out not to be dead anyway. Thanks, Twitter :-/), or ED MCMAHON could change that :-)

Btw, I had an OUTSTANDING day in spite of the fact that I was a bit hungover :-D

I have spoken. All depart.

Right now I have just finished updating my schedule once again and am chatting with my new friend Morven. Morven is from Sydney, Australia and the only way we know each other is through facebook but we both LOVE fried chicken so I think it can last :-)

I guess I should tell you about all the wonderful things I have coming up but I don't really feel like it. What I wanna talk about is my experience last night at Club Deluxe (Haight and Ashbury) in SF. I was dreading the whole idea all day because for some reason San Francisco has a stick up it's ass. LOL!!! I say this with love because that city has so much history and so many things that would make it great but for some reason it isn't. I was discussing it with a native tonight and was glad to find out that they felt the same way. For a while I thought maybe I just hadn't given San Francisco a fair shot and had expected too much but it turns out a lot of the natives don't really like what it's become and remember when it was a lot more fun like what I had thought it would be. Anyway, I had a great set but was sure to let the audience know a couple of times that I hated the bullshit that usually comes with performing in that city. Don't get me wrong I've performed there kind of a lot and it's gone really well A LOT of times but I can always sense everyone tightening their assholes and when it goes wrong it goes HORRIBLY WRONG. It's made it so I can't really enjoy it here because I know they're gonna piss me off. Getting offended for other people is a concept I REALLY don't understand. Long story short, I'm still gonna continue to try to love San Francisco because I'm a fag and I should but I'm also not gonna put up with a lot extra bullshit from this relationship. I guess what I'm trying to say is, BE FUN LIKE THE REST OF THIS COUNTRY, SAN FRANCISCO!!!!

Hope this all made sense :-)

You want some old school Thai Rivera bloggin' check this s#i% out. I was so much gayer back then :-)

I went ahead and took the day off today to clean and buy some of the stuff I needed for my apartment. I'm happy with the progress I've made but a little annoyed that one of the parts to my kitchen cart is missing and now I either have to exchange it or deal with the manufacturer :-/

I'm working on some pretty good stuff and tomorrow I will update my gig list. Getting the amount of stuff coming in lately and moving at the same time has gotten me a little behind, not to mention the fact that I'm bad about that stuff anyway. Life is taking me in a good direction but forcing me to do things that scare me and break me out of my comfort zone. It's all kind of weird for me because until I started to do comedy I really was a "fly under the radar" sort of guy. Now I have to be out there networking, meeting people and most important, doing stand up. Okay, so let's be clear, I'm NOT bitching, I'm just saying. Life is good but I NEED an assistant and to do a little more "me work". Not being down on myself but I REALLY need to be more productive. Time to get serious so, outta my way, bitches :-)

I love you all and if you don't love me back you can fuck off ;-)
