Today was one of those days where I wake up really motivated, look at my to-do list and think "this is going to be the day!" I don't have any meetings planned, I'm not hungover, all the information I need to get stuff done is here, it's a grey and miserable day outside, the coffee is hot. What more could I ask for? Really? What more?
The only glitch in my day is that I need to change the ink cartridges in my printer. No biggie right? Pull it out, put it in. I've done that before, although if you ask my fiancé, she'll tell you not nearly enough, if you know what I mean, nudge, nudge, wink, wink. But like with most things, I manage to screw it up. I changed the cartridges, and then for some strange reason my whole computer crashes. I finally get that all straightened out and I can open my word and excel, but now, I can't open up my internet explorer. Can somebody explain to me how I'm supposed to waste my day on Facebook and surf for porn, I mean get stock quotes with no internet? Frustrating to say the least. Oh well, screw it, it's Friday! What time does the pub open?
I see that both Nelson Mandela and Charlie Sheen were admitted to the hospital in the past few days. Nelson Mandela is recovering from a collapsed lung, while good old Charlie is in the hospital with a "hernia" after a 3 day coke binge with porn stars. I love the way the media handles this kind of stuff. I have heard very little about Nelson Mandela and a lot about Charlie Sheen. Yet, Nelson Mandela has done so much more for this world than Charlie Sheen has, but I guess Two and a Half Men is much more important to the world than one man's fight to end apartheid in South Africa. The media is saying it is Charlie Sheen's behaviour is "shocking". Really? That's shocking? This guy goes to rehab more often than most people go to the dentist yet another coke binge with porn stars is shocking? Now if Nelson Mandela went on a 3 day coke binge with porn stars, now that would be shocking. Charlie Sheen, that's just a Tuesday.
As I mentioned yesterday, I have a show tomorrow night (Saturday January 29) at a Lion's Club in Hamilton or somewhere. Still don't know where it is yet. I should probably find that out. I know, I'm quite the marketing machine, but I will promise to try to be better at promoting myself this year. In fact, I may even be like some comics I know and just forget about writing or working on getting better, and just promote the hell out of myself. Every show I am on will be "The Best Show Ever" and "Epic", and "Not to be missed" and so on and so on. That's it, my first goal of 2011! Figure out where my show is tomorrow night and drop by, it's going to be "Epic, and Not to Be Missed". It'll be one of those events where 20 years from now you'll say "I remember where I was when Dave did that show at that place he didn't know where he was going. It was Epic!"
And just a reminder, I'm also hosting at Absolute Comedy in Toronto next week from Wednesday February 2 to Sunday February 6. I'm with Denis Grignon and Ali Hassan. Yes, I know that Sunday is Superbowl Sunday, but I won't be telling jokes during the show, I'll just be doing play by play, including re-enacting the US Superbowl commercials. You should come just to check that out alone! It'll be Epic!
