Last
night 23.8 million people watched American Idol on Fox and 48 people
watched me on stage at the Irvine Improv. Thank you 48 people.
ALSO,
I'd like to thank "the guy" (I say "the guy" but I am really thinking
asshole) who "bought" (I say "bought" but really stole) a DVD from me
last night at the Irvine Improv for his girlfriend Patty. I remember
signing it to Patty. And I remember him slipping me the "money" (I say
"money" but it was really a $5 and not what it should've been a $20)
like he was tipping a bellhop or valet-- cuffing it in his handshake. I
thought it was odd behavior. And he seemed nervous. But I thought maybe
he was nervous to meet me... nah he was ripping me off. And I'm pretty
sure he KNEW what he was doing. And it really bummed me out. Because I
don't look at the money when someone gives it to me-- I shove it in my
pocket-- it feels awkward enough, and I generally trust people to do
the right thing AND NOT STEAL FROM ME! Later, when I pulled the money
from the DVD sales out of my pocket and it was all $20s and one $5, I
realized, "the guy" (I say "the guy" but I am really thinking asshole)
ripped me off. Because everyone else handed me a $20 (Like you hand
someone a $20) and I could see $20 out of the corner of my eye. I
remember that much! Now I feel partly disgusted in humanity and partly
ashamed that I allowed myself to be taken advantage of. And I am
posting all this to vent and to also let Patty know the type of guy she
is dating. And if I am wrong about this-- and I could be-- it could be
a mistake-- then contact me "Patty's boyfriend" and I'd be happy to
suggest a charity you can donate $15 to on behalf of me and all my hard
work.
Please weigh in.
Oa
