   This was Written dec 07 and i just found it and thought it was worthy of putting on my blogerthingy  


Well another Christmas has come and gone and I have to say it was not a bad day. Spending some time with my family who I get to see on a ( decent ) regular basis wasn't bad. Being a comic Instead of just ranting about shit and burping out negativity as I usually do, It was a fun few hours doing the exchanging gifts thing, ( 3 gifts...count em,,3) and just hanging around my brothers BEAUTIFUL fucking house.( I rent the basement of my dads house, another story for another day). We chuckled at each others shortcomings and never acknowledged our positive traits.My sister is a nervous wreck like most of our older generation kin and she hasnt realized how bad she is, my mother is a filter free, self abosrbed, interrupter of conversations, my dad is a 1/2 deaf ginuea who cant seem to get over  the past about his and my mothers relationship ( divorced 23 yrs ago), my brother who is an obsessed maniac about most things and has NO IDEA he is crazy like the rest of us, and finally me the financial black sheep of the family who everyone wants around so I can "break the ice "with my horrid sense of humor. THAT is whats Christmas is all about, getting together with family, ripping into each other, and knowing that we do love each other, faults and all. Considering my parents were HORRIBLE communicationists   ( if that's a word) I think me and my sibs are doing ok,and I think having that self awareness is a trait that we all need to have  (that I have way too much of). So if you spent a little time with your family and wondered, "what the fuck am I doing here?"  Mission accomplished, now go spend new years with some friends who really dont give a fuck about you unless things are rosey and peachy in their own lives, that's good old fashioned fake fun, and we love every minute of it.

So, do you think you know,
which way to go
to the light, or the unknown
marching in the parade
or driving all alone
sandy beaches or tar
hating near or loving far.
Do you think you can change
how people stay the same
joshing with the burning flame,
being their all and all
never fretting if they fall,
if you gaze, and peer clear,
close your eyes, youll be near
wish you were here.
 
trash it if you like  :0)

  Talented,relevant,insightful,under exposed and funny. All words NOT used to describe Kathy Griffen. Now before I go sounding like some bitter comic blasting someone famous for reasons mainly driven by jealousy, I'll lie and say NOT ME.
 
  Now, her being a stand up comic I will always give slack because I love and respect comics for what we do, but she is what I feel is part of the vanilla-faced meltdown of stand up comedy in America today. Besides the over exposure of comics who fit the "mold" of reality tv ( last comic standing) etc or just the mundane stand up specials that feature comics who apparently are being pushed to be sitcom or movie stars because of a "certain look" or stereotype they are looking to vomit onto network television.
 
  Back to ol' construction face,I don't know what type of comedy KG does (this lazy ass country is obsessed with shortening and abbreviating every fucking thing we can get our lazy paws on, so I'll join the "poison the kool aid" party and abbreviate her stupid name also).  It's so horrendous mainly because it's that lame "I'll make fun of hollywood and drop names like a homeless person dropping bars of soap and job applications" type of comedy. People who want to hear about J-Lo and Brooke Shields ar e not people who enjoy true stand up, touching on current events as a comic is one thing, but the constant barrage of stories and "amusing anecdotes" about them is sickening.
 
    What about the Show on Bravo, The "D" list or whatever its called, am I being melodramatic or is that show on 24 hours a day? If Richard Pryor was on that much people would be like "get that talented funny mutha fukka off the air!!
 
    Who is watching and supporting this show you may ask? I don't know anyone who enjoys her boring red carpet stories and her fake self deprecating "I'm not a real actress" bullshit. Let's see, I gather a lot of gay fellas watch her show(s) ( I don't know how many she has anymore). She always seems to be in the vicinity of a few dick grabbers so I assume gays enjoy her stuff. Maybe they like her because of the "Cher" connection.  Lets face it, Kathy is looking more like Rocky Dennis from the movie "Mask" everyday and we all know who played his drunken, slutty, biker wanna be mom, CHER!  I always thought of gay men as guys with good taste and cleanliness, and I still believe that, even though gay men in america have single handedly kept Madonna relevant and in business for the last 15 years and made Barbara Streisand concert tickets an obscene $1000 a ticket.
 
   Who else may enjoy it, women? I don't know for sure, but if it wasn't for women and gay men there would be no boy bands besides "The Monkeys" in the history of music. So what is her appeal? Is it the fact that so many comics today try to be "shocking" and dirty ( which i have no problem with) and since most of middle Americans are hypocrites who around the water cooler or at lunchtime will spew off horrible insensitive jokes and laugh, but when a comic does it he is performing in "bad taste " or for shock value and are appalled? Who knows, I think the combination of the pussification of our country and the boatload of new comics trying to out-shock each other (being influenced by amazing comics who are clever and filthy) can be a reason.  Whatever the reason, people like KG have given the art of stand up a boring bland name dropping kinda name.  Let's hope KG and garbage bag talent like Tila Teqila end up doing Geico commercials for cocaine and shaking an empty can of Dole's Pineapple Chunks feverishly for spare change in Central Park while singing old Foghat tunes.
 
    KG will be popular until Americans get sick of this tabloid obsessed media driven horseshit like TMZ.  (that's for another blog) So let's take a stand against boring celebrity driven humorless stand up comedy and get back to the likes of LATE GREAT LEGEND GEORGE CARLIN. 1937-2008 let's never forget icons like him, Christ do we need guys like him now more than ever.

Ok I said i would never do this again, but I was asked to do it for a website so I figured I would put some on my own page since no one will see it on that website. Call me a hypocrite, whoopdi do, sue me.

Just from the title alone one might think this is some rant from a guy
who has been spammed once too often, by "models who want to meet and
actually hang out with me,"  technical problems or just sick of the
myspace crap that goes on. Not at all, I don’t mind myspace even with
the 10 billion bands from other planets who want to be my friend and
want me to "listen to this."  Being a comic, I use the myspace thing to
promote myself also and realize its power. Here is my issue..TILA
TEQUILA? Someone please explain to me who this
praying-mantis-in-a-bikini is and WHY does she  have a show? From
what I gather she is a model who has the most friends on myspace, and
that warrants getting a TV show? I may be partial to artists being a
comic myself, so when I see bands, comics and writers reaping the
benefits of myspace I love it, but TILA TEQUILA? Why do we need another
"hard working" model on television spewing simplicity by the gallons
onto the airwaves by having a reality based show about girls and guys
fighting over some "6" who has nothing interesting to say while the
whole set is crying during the duration of the show? I don’t know, I
just know a bunch of great talents out there who deserve to have some
sort of shot at a television show. I’m not even talking about me,TRUST
ME on that, I wold never in a million years bring up the subject of
doing a show about myself.  But back to the bisexual lemur, if having a
zillion friends on myspace can get you a reality dating show on
MTV, lets all just friend request everyone on Tila’s page and maybe we
can have a show that rivals hers on the Douchebag network. The reason
all these contestants on these shows walk around with hardly any
clothes on is because NO ONE WOULD WATCH OR CARE OTHERWISE.  So lets
think of a name of our new show, how about the Joe Conte Show? A
reality dating show where a group of girls who look like the chicks
from 90210 going through menopause have to fight, do stupid tasks and
answer silly Joe Conte trivia.  Like... how much does Joe spend on
massage parlors weekly? How many times in a month has Joe fucked things
up with a girl because he thinks she doesn’t really like him, and is
just trying to sell him a timeshare?  And why doesn’t Joe get
circumcised as an adult to help raise his self esteem a  notch? I think THAT would be a great show, some honesty, real
life questions and a smidge of humor. I say lets do it. So I figure
this much, if TILA WHATEVER THE FUCK DRINK SHE PASSED OUT FROM THE
NIGHT BEFORE can put the executives at MTV under some voodoo spell and
convince them to do her show, then let’s either do my show,or redo
Tila’s by having her on the Discovery Channel getting chased through
the Serengeti by a group of molested-as-chlidren game show contestants
with appetites for an untalented, gamey myspace whore.
