Laughter, the Best Medicine...

So I'm planning a tour.

Writing like crazy.

Performing about once a week.

(the most since leaving NYC)

...and writing a bunch of sketches.

It feels good to be creative,

and let the imagination

run as wild as two

escaped chimps

down main st.

in traffic...

Life is good.

The beach is beautiful.

Everything is alright.

Goodnight.

Baba Booey Made the Foo

(my friend "Chainsaw" would say:)

The year was 1997.

Rock music was not doing well.

The Foo Fighters were performing

live on the Howard Stern Show.

As the performance begins,

Stern asks Dave Grohl which

song he will be playing.

Dave responds: For All the Cows.

For All the Cows is a mellow rock

song from the first Foo album that

eventually rocks out heavily.

Stern replies: Play one of your hits.

Baba Booey interjects: Play Everlong.

This was the moment that made

the Foo Fighters a bit more than,

"that band with Nirvana's drummer."

That moment of serenity, with a guy

and a guitar... was almost magical.

Howard Stern got goose bumps.

Adam Sandler used a cleaned-up

(no talking before/during) version of this

very live Everlong performance for his

film (that nobody saw), Little Nicky.

It was the reason everyone wanted

to hear acoustic versions of each

popular Foo Fighters song

from then on...

...but it was never the same.

A Walk in the Park

I went to the dog park with my parents.

We were walking through the woods,

and it let out into this dog paradise.

Suddenly it dawned on me...

People are really out of shape.

They drive their SUVs to the park;

their dogs run laps around them,

free and excited to be loose...

The people stand and watch.

Someone needs to take them

to the nearest "People Park."

There they can run and play

and get some much-needed

cardiovascular exercise...

Last night I had a race with

a pit-bull named Angel.

(my friend Rebecca's rescued dog)

We ran down the beach together,

much like Rocky and Apollo.

I beat her to the finish,

but she beat me back.

It felt nice.

I think she enjoyed it too.

She looked quite happy.

Fîn.

Sessme Fighters...

Today I was listening to

some old recordings I've done.

Namely, my "mantra"...

Then I stumbled on a parody of

the Foo Fighters' "The Pretender"

that I animated when it came out

back in 2008.  It reminded me

so much of the Sesame Street

song, "One of These Things

is Not Like the Others,"

that I just had to...

Here is the original video for

the Foo Fighters' song:

...and my version (sync them up!):

Let me know what you think.

Have a nice day.

McShit

Last night I had a few drinks.

(no surprise there)

Whilst driving home, I spotted

a McDonalds and thought,

"damn, it's been a while,

I should stop there."

Then I made a deal with myself.

'Self,' says I, 'you will not go there

tonight, but you can have it for

lunch tomorrow if you still

feel like you desire it.'

... a pretty solid logic for somone

with a solid buzz going.

I give myself credit.

So today, I stopped there for lunch.

What a terrible idea that was.

McDonalds is only good at 2:30am

when you're drunk enough not to

realize exactly how shitty the

food you're putting into

your mouth really is.

Excuse me, I have to use the restroom.

Ok, I'm back.

Where was I?

Ah yes.

The Evil Empire.

McDonalds is such garbage,

you need to be severely intoxicated

not to realize the nutritional value

of your consumption is equal to

that of not eating a meal at all.

In fact, it's worse.

Not only is there nothing worth

eating at this place, what 

they do have is really

terrible for the body.

Why are these place so popular?!

Oh right... it's cheap and quick.

Damn, convenience... you win again.

(next time I eat it, I'll be wasted)
