It's been a crazy few days, and not the least of which because my parents tried to have my feeding tube removed.

Mark McGuire was an absolute joke of a freakishly large steroid abuser during the congressional hearings. "I'm not here to talk about the past", he kept saying. Oh, really Mark, cuz I thought you were some sort of psychic and you were brought in to predict the future of drugs and sports.

You gotta give Rafiel Palmeiro credit for completely denying he ever used steroids. I don't know if he did or didn't but at least he picked a side. It would've been great had he somehow been able to change the topic from steroids to Viagra, which we all know he takes, cuz I'm sure that 9 out of 10 of those old congressman are on it too. A bunch of old combover politicians talking about their hardons with a baseball player. Sounds like a good reality TV show.

On a personal note I've had some strange ups and downs since my last posting. I'm seem to be having some major writers block, which I can't even compare to anything else, since, well, I'm having writers block. My sets this weekend we're pretty uneven, even from minute to minute. Generally, I've noticed that when I, or most good comics go through a strange phase, it leads to a really prolific phase, but it never makes being in the sucky part of it any easier.

I think I used too many comma's in that sentence. Remove a few an re-read, if necessary.

There is a company in Japan now selling a gum that they claim can increase the size of your breasts by 80 percent. Now, I'm fine with the size of my breasts, but I highly recommend you check it out.

I've been thinking lately a lot about how I've gone about doing comedy and the path I've chosen. I'm really proud of the way I've done this on my own terms, and by starting 2 clubs that have helped comics empower themselves and focus on getting stronger and funnier as comics.

However, while 90 percent of it is pride, there is this 10 percent that sometimes fears being too far out of the loop of the industry and the managers/agents etc.

Of course then I talk to people who are more in that loop and find out that they are 10 times more frustrated and often way more creatively stifled. So, I guess the point is, you do what you gotta do. And you keep doing it.

Yea, im talking in the third-person to inspire myself. I got that from Karl Malone, who had an ability to change from first-person to third-person to fourth-person to eighth-person in an interview until you didn't know who the hell he was talking about, or even what the hell he was talking about.

Ironcially, much like this whole entry.

Ok, Dave's gotta go do some stuff, but I sure have enjoyed writing this and he'll be sure to write more pretty soon.
