So... I went and did open mic night at a local tavern/bar/saloon/watering hole/whatever you wanna call it last night....under a fake name...
Alex Keaton, if you must know...
why?
because they had a re-run of Family Ties playing, when I got there and signed up on the list, to perform....so it was my last minute choice...(you'll hear about wicked nick, when i get better)
played 6 songs...used my guitar....
personally... I thought I sucked....
especially since halfway through my last number "songs about you", a string broke.....so I just went accapella (is that the right word? for no instrument, and just singin?).... and finished it out...
I got a standing ovation for that...
kinda....
I mean... if you count all 10 of the people that were there....4 of which were other musicians, and the other 6 of which were people that were there only to be drunk off their asses....
this was the first time ive been on a stage since then...
unless you count karaoke or whatever which i dont...
Ive been trying to talk myself into doing it for a while, since I actually got some stuff down, on the ol' geetar, to go along with stuff ive written....
I guess I could compare it to doing that theater back in the day.....
If the highschool theatre sold liquor...
and smelled like piss....
and had neon beer signs all over the place...
nah....actually im just talking about the doing stuff, while being up there infront of a buncha people - part....
I think I know what you were referring to, when saying huevo's...
but...
doesnt that really mean eggs?
I forget....
anywho....
I dunno if I'd be able to pull off the comedy open mic stuff....mostly cause I think im funnier in my own head, rather than out-loud.... if that makes any sense... but hell... before last night, I wasnt sure if I could force myself to put my crappy guitar/singing skills on display....
but yeah....
eggs...
that reminds me..
I like to mess with the waiters/waitresses at restaurants sometimes, if they look like they're in the mood for it, by when they ask "and how would you like your eggs?", by replying "green"
feeling like a dumbass, in the midst of a few other people that sounded like they've been practicing for a long, long time....
wouldnt do it unless I was Lit!
thats what I was thinking too...
that i'd need a beer or something to convince myself not to walk right back out the door, and deprive the 6 or so drunk people in the place of seeing "Alex Keaton" bring the house down.....
I think all I had was a crap-ton of water, and 2 or 3 diet-cokes....
I think if I get the itch to do it again..... I'll use the name Theo Huxtable....maybe until I get comfortable using my own wicked name, i'll just make it a habit of using names of 70's or 80's tv show characters...
other probable names:
- whatever the growing pains people's names were
- Magnum P.I. (i'll make up some nifty name to go with the P.I. initials)
- Officer Poncharello (what was his first name?)
- Michael Night (is that how you spell hasselhoffs name in nightrider?)
- what were some of the chicks names on "facts of life"? Tooty? Mrs. Garret? hahaha...
have you ever read the about me on my myspace page? I have that line in there for interests - when asked how I like my eggs - I say how about Green or Easter... we think along the same lines - that is sick.
the proper word is eggs, but the slang is.... you know.
I'm funnier in my head too - but I have a lot of really good lines. usually I can pull the timing off pretty well. I've done some stand up stuff infront of my cult (it was all cult related) and they were rolling.
I've also done parody's of the song Escape (aka the pina colada song) and Vacation - with things about the cult in them.
I didn't find a mouse, but I've finished painting three of the panels on my new garage door! Yay for me!! I'm going to let one of my kids do the panel with the windows. :grin:
OK, I know I asked this before the minbin hunt, but my sister needs her airline ticket for the WC hunt. The Carnival runs from 1/27-2/5...so when does the hunt start??? :sheepish:
I dont know if Dan knows for sure if that is the start date. He put that on as an estimate at the end of last year. I did some research tonight and couldnt find anything. I have an email out to the Pioneer Press. I will let you know when I hear back.
Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.
13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.
20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.
30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!
40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

nah....actually im just talking about the doing stuff, while being up there infront of a buncha people - part....
my friends keep trying to push me into going to an open mic night and doing standup.
They are always laughing till they cry when we hang out, but somehow I just don't think I'd be that great infront of a crowd.
wouldnt do it unless I was Lit!

found out a lil bit ago that my sister is once again back in the hospital, because her chrones crap that she's got flared up again.....
I wish they'd figure out what the hell that exactly is, so they could do something about it.
one minute your flush, the next....your bust
maybe I'll find this other mouse thats out there today.....
that would be cool.
as for hobbies ... one of yours isn't sitting on the toilet until your legs fall asleep is it?
lol.
I like taking dumps as much as the next guy..... but.... nah... not til I fall asleep....
The only thing I've done today (besides wolf down a huge piece of pesto lasagna) is avoid going out in the rain.
as you already know, its usually a bad sign for me....
