This isn’t a blog so much as it is a blatant plug for comedy. But not my comedy, for a change. A guy I knew when I lived in LA, Jerrod Carmichael, has an HBO special premiering tonight.
Not only is this guy super funny, prolific, and dedicated…he’s also an amazingly nice guy. So please support by watching the special and then raving about it on social media. I thank you and you’re laughter will thank you later.
Side note…I used to perform on that stage during the Comedy Store’s “Pot Luck” shows on Sunday and Mondays when I was in LA. Man…I miss LA. But that’s another blog for another day.

I’m scrolling through my Facebook feed the other day and I see this…
That’s a great ad for a website that sells t shirts with goofy slogans on them…except it doesn’t show the damn t shirt!!!
Unless maybe the point was to show off the superior necklines these shirts have? Why else would they have the photo cropped like that? Or maybe they’re saying if I put on the shirt I’ll look like pretty eyes up there in that photo? I just don’t get it.
What’s worse is that not one of those 30 comments you see there are, “WTF?! What does this shirt even say?”
I feel like I’m the only one who noticed. The rest of the comments were people saying how they were going to buy some shirts from there. Don’t do it, people! Don’t reward this company for such sloppy advertising strategies. If you need to buy some goofy t-shirts, I know just the place for you…

I loved the movie Taken. The speech from the trailer is still one if the most bad as monologues ever. I had the movie on my DVR forever (until Comcrap made us change DVRs).
Then they made Taken 2. I never did see the sequel. It seemed like an odd thing for the movie to even have a sequel. I mean they came up with a fairly plausible premise; someone wanted revenge on Loam Noeson for all the people he killed in the first flick. But as I recall, the reviews weren’t that great.
Well, now they’ve made a third movie, “TAK3N.” (Oy) The trailer dropped the other day and it features one of my least favorite things sequels do…
Why did they have to kill off Famka?! I hate that! I hate when they kill off characters just to make the story more “dramatic.” I hated it in X-Men 3, Alien 3, Star Trek: Generations, Terminator 3 Pirates of the Caribbean 3, and tons of other movies that I generally disliked. I even hated it in movies I liked such as Rocky Balboa, Star Trek 2, Avengers, and Skyfall.
If you have to kill off a major, well-liked character just to keep me interested in your plot…you need to write a better plot!

Okay, ladies, I apologize. That graphic is a bit much. Once I finished making it, I debated even using it. I wanted to use a horror movie with “3” in the title for this month of blogging (Since I’ve already done it twice). Piranha 3DD just seemed like the funniest. But then I had to come up with a graphic. I was going to just slap “Blogtober 3DD” on the poster and call it a day, but then I thought if it was animated, it would be funnier. So I searched for animated gifs from the flick and came across (Absolutely no pun intended) that piece of genius you see above you.
What can I say? It made me laugh. And that’s what I was going for. Then it struck me how funny it is that this blog…and all the blogs this month…are not likely to have anything to do with boobs or really anything sexual. That just made it irresistible as a misleading way to advertise this month of blogging.
That being said, I hope it doesn’t offend anyone. I really hope it doesn’t put you off from reading the rest of this month’s blogs.
Wait..where are you going? Stop! Come back! What if I keep it “fair an balanced?” Check this out:
I’m just making it worse aren’t I?
Well, all of this was to announce that I’m blogging everyday again this month. So…yeah.

I am typing this blog on my repaired laptop! WOO HOO!!! I did not think it would be ready this soon. They had to replace the mother board. (A piece of information that really makes yesterday’s blog make more sense)
Well now I’m using my mouse like a champ, I posted an encore episode of the podcast, and I was even able to design the FINAL product for Shoptember!

As I’ve written about previously, my laptop is broken. That’s why last week’s podcast was a little substandard (even for us).
Well apparently the cosmos REALLY wants to shut down our show because now Noah’s laptop is having issues too. So with two of the three TANcasters’ computers out of commission, we didn’t record a show this week. The closest we came was this iMessage exchange…

As I type up this blog into my phone, I’m in the green room of the San Jose Improv. Just finished doing 20 minutes of comedy. Now Mr. John Witherspoon is on stage. I’m enjoying the wonderful hospitality of the waitstaff. They just brought me some delicious taquitos.
The opener, Layla, and I talked comedy in the Bay Area for a while. Now I’m alone with my thoughts (unless you count the comedy of John Witherspoon pumping through the green room speakers that keeps making me laugh)
But this is a weird moment. I have an hour to wait. I’ve told my jokes, but now I have to wait until the headliner is done to talk to the audience on the way out…and maybe sell one of these sweet dishwasher magnets…
Ok shilling over, back to the blog…It’s weird because I’ve just done the fun part, telling the jokes. Now I have to wait to talk with the audience and see if I made a lasting impression. It’s a strange nervous energy. I don’t really have anything to prepare for, but I can’t relax for some reason
Ah well, back to the taquitos.
1 hour later…
Now the show is over, everyone has filled out, and I’m waiting to get paid.
The crowd seemed very nice on the way out. No one yelled “you suck!” So, I call that a win.
A few minutes later…
One last update…I just walked to my car and on the way, I saw this on the ground:
SOMEONE clearly was not impressed with my show and won’t be buying a CD. But then…why’d they take the card?
