Well kids, its fall.  All those fuck trophies are back in School, the NFL has Triumphantly returned and there seems to be some changes in the air.  Specifically with me.  See, I have some announcements to make that will affect this site and myself personally and well, what better way to make said announcements than all at once and on my very own site! 

So here we go...


First and Foremost, and probably the biggest change will be my relocation to California as of November 2012.  If you've never moved cross country, or even to a near by county or state before, then don't judge why i'm planning so far in advance.  There's lots of things that go into a move in general let alone changing jobs, apartments, etc.  Its a process and while I don't enjoy it i'll be much more prepared this time.

I'm very excited about this as I've always wanted to go back to Southern California to create a more stable and permanent existence there.  While I love everything about New York (save for snow) and being a New Yorker, there is just something to me about SoCal.  Maybe it's all the memories and friendships I have there, or the fact that its Sunny & 75 like 364 days out of the year.  but regardless of what it is, it's where I want to call home and i'm very happy to finally feel the need/want/desire to stop moving around every 2 years and stay put for awhile.





The Second announcement, and probably what will be the most shocking to all of you is this;

I will no longer be doing Stand Up Comedy.

Yes i'm serious.  And while I appreciate whatever kind words you would like to say this is something I have thought about long and hard.  I love comedy. I have always loved comedy. The moment I first took the stage almost 5 years ago changed my life in so many ways, and all of them for the better.  But the truth is that I do not have the time to dedicate to the craft and give it the respect it deserves. 

I did not reach this decision lightly and I have wrestled with it for the last few weeks but when it comes down to it, I feel that this is what's best.




And that leads me to my Third Announcement.  The fate of this site & my Twitter.

I started this site in April of 2010 because I was half bored and wanted to blog about things and promote myself in doing so.  I had Twitter since 2008 but after starting this site I figured I would step it up on there and try and get noticed, hell maybe even have someone who wouldn't normally find me be able to do so and then find my site.  I was doing Stand Up and realized this would be an even better way to promote myself.  But with not doing Stand Up both this site and my Twitter account will be changing. 

The site will be up for the next several weeks but it will be revamped and reinvented.  I am going to concentrate on writing more and while it will still have the same style and wit you love, you may find instead of "I got drunk here's a funny story" posts, more thoughtful and politically themed posts. The contests, which were never successful anyways, will stop as well.

Now my Twitter, while still being me, won't be all attempted and failed at jokes, shitty one liners and general rants.  It will be more interactive so if you follow me and aren't expecting any of that, I apologize.  Hell, i don't even know why people follow me to begin with but you know, to each their own.  So here's your out now - I won't be offended.  I'm not doing this for followers but now more for networking and building contacts I have.







So that is it kids. Those are the big announcements. I've had a blast getting to know you all, well as well as you can in an imaginary land called "cyber space", and I hope to continue some of these relationships but won't be surprised or offended if some faded away.

P.S. - Do not fret, the 'Dear Abby, I hate your Readers' rants will live on so long as I do.
