rubinville

A couple people have mentioned to me that I could put up some text ads here using Google's AdWare program to make a little cash form Rubinville. I have consistently rebuked the idea and let me know say I will never put sponsors on this website because this is a forum for free thought and open and honest dialogue.

But Dave, you say, if this were a forum there would be an option to post comments. Well okay, I'm gonna look into it. But I don't like this whole idea of you jamming things down my throat.

I spoke to Billy Crystal last night for a moment after I saw him walking out of his show, "700 Sundays" on 44th Street. He was clearly exhausted from the show, but was friendly and offered me up a couple words of encouragement after I told him I'm a comic from Long Island just like him, and that I started Joe Franklin's Comedy Club. Billy used to do an impression of Joe Franklin on Saturday Night Live.

Anyways, the point of this continues the string of good interactions I've had with some of the big names of comedy, like Seinfeld, Cosby and now Crystal. I've also had a couple good talks with Gilbert Gottfried, just not sure if he falls into the "big names" category.

Here's my e-mail to Ellen for today...

Hey Ellen,

Something came up and I was wondering if I could borrow 2000 dollars.
Thanks.

Dave

Okay, what else is going on? Oh yea, I recently made the switch from my usual Right Guard Gel to Axe Body Spray. I think there's a bit of a learning curve on making the move to a spray and I'm still not sure how much I like it. However, I do feel a lil cooler when I'm spraying myself, so that's nice.

Apparently one of the finalists in American Idol was once involved in a cocaine bust. Shut up! Someone in LA involved in cocaine? It's like just when you think you know whats going on in the world something crazy like this happens and you have to re-evaluate important stuff.

Stealing iPods is now the number one subway crime in NYC. Kids are just running up to people and snagging the iPod out of their pocket when they see the white headphones. That's why I've switched to black headphones. Not only that, I don't even connect them to anything, I just leave black headphones in my ears with the cord dangling in my pocket. And lemme tell you, I've never felt safer.

Last night the major networks all cut-off President Bush literally in mid-sentence to get back to their sweeps shows, which included seeing Paris Hilton on Fox, the Apprentice on NBC and Survivor on CBS. Now, as a comedian I have a vested interest in listening to President Bush speak but even beyond the comic worth, we really have a problem when the networks are pulling this shit. Who is in charge anymore? Cuz, I mean, I was just getting comfortable with knowing the government was watching and controlling me, but if it's the networks now, I just don't think I could handle that.

Unlesss it was Bravo, their brand of reality TV can control me anyday.
