As some of you know, my first great comic influence is Bill Cosby. His "Himself" special on HBO is one of the first things I ever really laughed at,'The Cosby Show' was my favorite show for many years, and I even met Bill once and had a great interaction with him. That being said, the upcoming movie of 'Fat Albert' looks so painfully horrendous I can't quite figure out the right words to describe it.

Oh wait, I just did, "painfully horrendous".

Prove me wrong Bill, prove me wrong.

No show at Joe Franklin's tonight which has left me here, at my apartment, with nothing to do rather than flick the channels. I can either watch 'True Life' on MTV, a show about a crazy woman who is an Anna Nicole Smith impersonator, or I can watch 'The Anna Nicole Smith Show' on E!, a show about a crazy woman who is Anna Nicole Smith.

Actually, I'm watching the Rockets v. Spurs on TNT. Can someone explain to me why Jeff Van Gundy decided to get hair plugs and then stopped with like 6 of them?

Speaking of TNT, their new thing is showing the same movie three nights in a row. This Thursday through Saturday you can see the first installment of Lord Of the Rings all three nights. Nerds rejoice!

Speaking of nerds, lately I've been thinking back to my days as assistant manager of Electronics Boutique. From 1998-1999 I moved more Legend of Zelda's for N64 than anyone.

Andy Rooney is talking to Larry King on CNN right now. Think he'll ask him who will die first?

Sorry, that was mean an uncalled for.

Also uncalled for are Andy Rooney's eyebrows. Is he so old that nobody will even tell him they look like wings?

I've been working really hard on my one-man show lately. The guts of it are basically complete. Comic and bud Bob Jeurgens has signed on to direct it, I'm thinking it'll be ready sometime in March or April. MY goal over the next few months is to slowly work the bits and pieces into my stand up and see how the flesh themselves out. It'll be an interesting proposition, because not everything in the show is intended to be funny, and lemme tell you, every second I'm on stage as a comedian is pure, unadulterated hilarity.

Still hitting the gym pretty consistently. One thing I never do at the gym is look anyone directly in the eye. I'm not sure why, I feel like it will just get me in trouble somehow.

Speaking of the gym, how many days can I workout in the same shirt? Should I not even have to ask that question?

Ok, I won't even touch the underwear issue then.
