I have a friend who lives in D.C. and he recently started doing stand-up himself. He'll post his gigs on FB for us to see his act. He's quite funny! I admire anyone who has the cojones to get up in front of a room full of strangers and try and make them laugh! You need to take your show on the road and come to Houston! The NY Times? Wow! Impressive! I wrote some short essays in the New Yorker. (random yay for me! lol) Glad you're feeling somewhat better and hope you are completely "flu" free soon! As for why I blog, under the suggestion from my therapist, I decided to try writing my feelings down in hopes of trying to figure out what was/is wrong with me. I'm also a freelance writer. My aspiration (one of them anyway) is to be a published author. So I write to hone my craft. Originally, I started this blog back in 07 but didn't really give it much attention and soon forgot all about it. But back in August, I went through a very rough period and was homebound for a few weeks. I started writing again and I remembered this blog and so, I made myself write in it every day. And let me tell you, it's the BEST thing I could have done for myself. It saved me. I'm really glad you found my blog and I found yours! Your insight and jabs and suggestions have been a tremendous help to me, and I just wanted you to know that. I wish 2011 to be a magical and prosperous and healthy year for you (mind, body and soul).

I have always favored edgy practitioners who push the envelope, tell the truth and shake up polite society. Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, George Carlin, Dangerfield, Andy Kaufman, Sam Kinison, Bobcat Goldthwait and Louis C.K. are are few favorites that immediately spring to mind. You're right, Israel, humor is our salvation when times are tough. You have a great blog and I wish you nothing but the best of times in the coming year!Shady Del Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03839935472941264414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3999454497834608229.post-83579866916721387102010-12-31T06:50:37.878-08:002010-12-31T06:50:37.878-08:00I have friends who've worked in stand up and i...I have friends who've worked in stand up and in fact, have another BLOG friend who's just started out in the field himself, so I find it fascinating as someone who used to go to comedy clubs every week and enjoyed the hell out of it, that someone has the giant cajones to get up in front of people, all alone, and do that stuff. It must be terrifying. And Exhilarating too. So all the best for your future comedy endeavors, you crazy man. ;)<br /><br />As for blogging, I've been doing it for about ten years now with various blogs. It just became, for me, an extension of a social life. I like the interaction and the fact you can say what you want on a blog - things you might not say out loud in real life - and the world gets a glimpse of not only the real me from inside my head, but a more exaggerated and social me, who's less introverted than the real me. Mainly though it's just fun let's me write and share banter with other bloggers. What's not to like?<br /><br />Um, sorry this ended up being so long :) Happy 2011, dude!VEGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07704685920354554043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3999454497834608229.post-38132235160087285432010-12-31T06:46:12.448-08:002010-12-31T06:46:12.448-08:00It's not unseen.

Blogging is ridiculously rewarding and often times super frustrating, but it no matter how benign you consider posting to be, it changes your life whether you intended it to or not. I'm so glad you blog! I'm so glad I found you! May 2011 be the year you always look back on and smile with pride and satisfaction.Sharon Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13609356325356264202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3999454497834608229.post-79623932071117738242010-12-31T05:47:51.398-08:002010-12-31T05:47:51.398-08:00Great post, Israel.

I hope you are completely well in the new year.Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14175778756449339363noreply@blogger.com
