My hiatus

When writing this blog started to become more of a chore than an enjoyable experience, I decided that I need some time off. Since I am currently moving (don't worry I'm staying in New Jersey), working extended hours, and going to both Jamaica & California within the next 3 weeks, I'm going to be super busy anyway (wow, I never realized how much I hate the word "super" before).

I will definitely be posting on here again because it's been a lot of fun and I like making up stupid comments about random things. I would guess that it will be about a month until I write again.

I know I've only posted a couple of times over the last month, so you won't be missing much anyway. I'm sure after a month of not posting, I'll have plenty of stuff to talk about and will be back to posting multiple times per week.

Until then, I'm out.

Almost Famous

With the recent deaths of Terri Schiavo and the Pope, nobody is talking about Mitch Hedberg.

Hedberg was absolutely hilarious. The people at the Howard Stern Show called him the next Seinfeld. They play his clips on XM 150 all the time and he’s definitely one of the more enjoyable stand-up acts I’ve ever heard. He says stuff like:

“My friend asked me if I wanted a frozen banana, I said "No, but I want a regular banana later, so, Yeah."

“My roommate says, "I'm going to take a shower and shave, does anyone need to use the bathroom?" It's like some weird quiz where he reveals the answer first.”

“I once saw a forklift lift a crate of forks. And it was way too literal for me.”

“An escalator can never break. It can only become stairs.”

And his act just goes on and on, each one-liner more random than the next.


Hedberg died last Wednesday due to an apparent heart condition (he was also a known drug user).

Wasted Sunday

Yesterday I walked outside to satisfy my craving for a Tendercrisp Bacon Chedder Ranch sandwich from BK. As I walked to my car it started to hail. I got in my car and it didn’t start… the engine didn’t even turn over. I went back to my house and the hail stopped. So I then walked back outside to jump my car and it started to snow. The snow quickly turned to rain, which then in turn flooded my basement.

Can you see how this day is going? Throw in the loss of an hour due to Daylight Savings Time (one of my least favorite days of the year), and you’ve got yourself a bad day.

The fact that it was opening day was my only savior. Too bad the Red Sox got crushed.

Sweet… what an awesome day.
