- Los Angeles Show THIS MONTH!!
 

Been all over the place the past month or so people. My apologies for the prank update delays. Someone thought it’d be a great idea to try and throw a virus at me. Thankfully the people that know more about web design than me were able to keep this from happening but none the less servers had to come off line for a while.   I’m still on Myspace, and Youtuhe etc. but I’ve also given in and succumbed to facebook and twitter.

I’m not that big a fan of twitter. Probably because it’s a digital account of just how little I do everyday, but none the less I have to do it or I’m sure some cornball TV won’t book me because I’m “Not connected to the American people” LOL  Follow me and add my facebook fan pag.

NEW PRANK CALLS

There’s this guy that’s about 80-years old or so. I call him to give him grief about his 28 year old Girlfriend and his super nice Aston Martin.

 “Don’t try to bend the spoon. That is Impossible. Instead realize the truth…there is no spoon”- The Matrix

A good friend from college died last week. Early returns are pointing towards him having a heart attack in his sleep. I’m sure there will be weeks of toxicology reports to get to the bottom of things but It caught me off guard because big Kev was only 30. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />....

.. ..

I don’t get to see much of anything when I travel. I’m ashamed  to say that there’s some cities I’ve been to I’ve yet to see any of their sites. There’s always radio or promo, or sleep, or me shooting a blog that creates an acceptable enough excuse to not do much of anything social. This includes seeing friends. ....

.. ..

I rarely play Tallahassee. Which is funny considering that my first few years of comedy were spent splitting time between Birmingham and Tallahassee comedy clubs. As I matriculated through the comedy clubs of the southeast I found myself working Tallahassee less and less. Finally the club in town closed. By the time a club reopened  I had relocated to Los Angeles and had a bit of a falling out with the comedy club booker for that region. ....

.. ..

It was because of this I didn’t get back to tallahssee too often. If I did, it was usually because I had a college gig somewhere the panhandle. ....

.. ..

A lot of my friends from college still reside in Florida so it’s a must that I try and catch up with them. I was last in Tallahassee in January of this year. I only had a few hours in town because I had to be in Daytona for a wedding. I called up my man Cudda who I hadn’t seen in at least 5 years.  We went out for drinks and sat up at his house and  talked shit for a few hours. We talked about Big Kev for a quick min and I asked about him. ....

.. ..

Cudda suggested that we swing by his crib real quick to say whaddup. I looked at my clock and did the math and deduced that I would need to get out of Tallahassee within the next 10-15 minutes or else I’d hit traffic in Jacksonville en route to Daytona.  I decided I’d get at Kevin the next time around. ....

.. ..

Traffic….fuckin traffic. ....

.. ..

Funny how things like this make you assess if you’re truly giving your all in other aspects of your life. Outside of comedy, I can name a single thing that I’ve truly commieted to 100%. Not even friends. That’s about to change across the board. ....
