FLUTES OF CHI

Just want to say my last blog sucked ass. Last time I'll write one zonked out on painkillers. One quick note. Got an e-mail from the guy who did a radio piece on me for Holland public radio. It will be on Dutch radio on november 4th. He said he would be able to send me a copy and have it possibly in English. If so, maybe I'll try to get it on the website. The radio piece is on Comics in NYC and features myself, Jim Gaffigan and I think Eddie Brill.

On to personal stuff. I'm tired of people slagging on me because I have no culture and I'm stuck in my ways. This one club manager whom I do really like told me that I don't have to be the same person I am on stage. That I can still be the goofy character yer in life I can be a bit more presentable. I am the same guy on and off the stage that is me. And thats what makes my comedy strong.

I also love who I am. I don't eat many foods. I like fast food and I eat a lot of chicken. My sisters used to call me Matty Chicken. My mom once told me that no girl could love me because I never try new foods. Oh well. Guess someone will have to see past that.

I hate museums. If I went with a lady I'd pretend to be intellectual. That goes back to my hi brow/low brow days. I'm going to watch Red Sox/Yankees this week and I will be touching myself too.

I have no desire to travel. unless its for comedy. I went to Epcot center where they have the international section and I ate and hung out in the USA section.

I hate religion. I'm jewish and on Yom Kippur I'm supposed to fast. I ate as much as I could that day and then took a big dump to celebrate.

I haven't watched one debate. I used to love Pro Wrestling but even now I realized its homoerotic crap. I guess I sound like a big ignoramus, but comedy is my passion. And there is no better feeling then telling a joke and hearing a crowd explode.

i live for that, and when that is done I'll do, dress and eat what I want. Yeah, now I feel better.

my prediction for Red Sox and Yankees. Sox take it in 4.

The going gets tough through the get go

So lets review this weekend. Friday night had a fun time at jack Rabbit slims. Really my favorite place to perform because of its non-comedy club atmosphere. They have guitar players in between comics which allows the crowd not to be comedied out.

Then I got wings with Alienbrain and once again had to give him a peptalk. The Brain is the greatest guy but man he thinks too much. He has all these crazy, big ideas for writing a joke. All he has to do is be the Brain and he will be fine.

Saturday I was in a daze, and I did two very uneventful shows. Sometimes you are on stage purging your soul and letting everything out. And sometimes you are simply going through the motions. For those of you who saw me on Saturday, I apologize. I just wasn't feeling it.

Sunday did a show at a big comedy club and the crowd was great. Second I got on stage the place went nuts laughing. Hey I admit, my face helps me. Just like Michael Jordan's body helps him. After the show chatted with some of the crowd. Some I liked, some I didn't care for.

Met eight really cool Israeli students who live in Nj. I asked them if I do jews proud and they had no answer. Then I had the mispleasure of talking to four morons from Purdue University. They were nice but all that was on their mind was drinking, beer, Boilermakers and "dude were gonna go to a bar."

This is four students from Indiana, their first time in Ny and they were going to drink themselves silly. I hope they hit the Met tomorrow.

Ok, I love doing comedy. Only thing better then hanging out all night at a comedy club with my fellow comics is being in the arms of a beautiful lady. but the going gets tough through the get go.
