Well, it has been awhile since I wrote something in here. It hasn't been for lack of anything happening. Mainly, it was just laziness. I have sat wanting to get things off my chest, but I would find myself gravitating to something more....interactive. I'm talking video games.
So what have I been doing? Well, if you count floating in this septic tank we call Spokane a "thing" then I have been doing it quite well. It is not that Spokane has lost any of it's charm since 2005 when I decided to stay, it never really had any. I stayed to be closer to my daughter which ironically I haven't seen in so long I have stop keeping count. It's not from lack of trying. I have brought cases against her mom. I tried contacting her a long time ago, but I got the run around just like my lawyer got the run around for so long.
That isn't the reason Spokane sucks though, the reason is that the comedy scene here is not what it's cracked out to be. Spokane is a conservative area so comedy here has to be a certain way. Giving that a lot of comics are on the liberal side, comedy doesn't take off here. We have two comedy clubs and all kinds of other stuff, but comedy is more of a distraction to keep people buying alcohol. It isn't to be seen as an art form, which is pretty crappy when you work on a good bit and you don't actually get a good response unless you are in a more "progressive" town.
With my daughter and my the state of comedy in Spokane both weighing on me, I have been focusing on my degree. A degree I don't plan to use. I think right now it is a goal I need to get out of the way. I don't know what might happen, so I don't want to be caught in a situation where I can't do comedy like I want and I have no means of making a good living.

I can feel the trouble
I am nervous about my living situation. A little over a year ago I moved into a guys house that was renting out rooms. Everything seemed solid until I moved in and realized that he was selling the house. I mean, who doesn't bother telling the person you just rented a room out to that you may be selling the damn house. Well, everything was cool up until recently when I looked out the window and there is a big ole FOR SALE BY OWNER sign stuck into the ground. Also, there was this guy carrying a clipboard (henceforth named clipboard man) and although I do not know what or who he was looking for it got me really nervous. Then to top it off, One of my roommates just moved out earlier today. This has me nervous.
It may not be the best place on the planet to stay, but it is all I have. This is what I call home. I like living here because I am left alone. I have realized since being here that I like being by myself. I don't have to worry about whether or not some one likes me or if they will stab me in the throat. I just like being one with my thoughts. The problem with that is that with my limited income I have to rely on someone else for room and board. That means roommates. I have only lived with people a couple of times and the time previous to this was not pleasant to say the least.
What has me nervous is the fact that he may be losing the house but just hasn't told me yet. I don't want to come home and see that I have no home. What if I can't find another place that fast? I have been out on the streets twice in my life and I can remember one emotion. Loneliness. Not the kind of loneliness you have when you are missing someone, but the kind where you don't know your place in the world, or that the place you were assuming became undone and now you are lost as to where to go next. Since it is the weekend of the 4th I will have to see Monday. I really feel like crying.

Hello
I have been trying to get back into writing. It's not that I don't have the time, or I am busy trying to save the planet or something, it's just that I kind of stopped caring about a lot of the things I used to cherish. I don't know if it is because I am getting older so I just stop doing things or I am really just getting sick of the world. This blog started as a way for me to help myself when I was going through my divorce. I think it did that. It also helped me become a better comedian because the things I wrote here helped me when I took them on stage.
As a whole I have been doing comedy and just trying to survive. Since my last real entry I have gone through 3 addresses, two cars and about 5 World of Warcraft characters that are level 80. I have had the urge to write throughout the months but always stopped because that is what I do. I see something I should do and then...I wait.
Comedy has been good, I guess, I am still in Spokane so that may give you a slight hint about how my career is going. I have been slowly pushing for headlining gigs. Not because I can't do it, just that I don't really want to do it. In order to pay the bills though I will have to start headlining, but until then I will keep working the feature spot. The only problem with that is that I have so much material I want to do that I usually go over. I don't want to be a dick to the other comedians so I think the best thing to do is just start looking for headlining work.

E3 2008: Sony's Press Event
Sony was the last of the big three to show what they have in store for consumers this holiday season and they came out swinging for the fences. They have a three pronged attack with PS2, PSP, and PS3. They showed off Resistance 2 and although it didn't look that good, the people in the crowd really seemed to like it. I liked the first Resistance so I will probably like this one as well. The conference then moved on to sales figures and although they needed their best spin doctors to make the numbers look good, with the help of their other big game Little Big Planet they were able to make the numbers really entertaining. Little Big Planet is basically a game that lets the users created levels and make a game that they envisioned. They built a level where their little mascot, named sackboy, ran through a level activating switches that showed the numbers the presenter was talking about. It was really entertaining to say the least.
They then went on to Playstation Network and announce that they were going to be delivering games and TV shows through their service. You can rent movie for 2.99 up to 5.99 and buy Standard and High Def movies and TV programs from 1.99 to 14.99 The coolest part was that you could hook your PSP to your PS3 and download the movie onto it. That gives you the ability to rent a movie and take it with you (great way to shut the kids up). You can also do this through your PC as well. They have about 6 content providers, but since Sony owns a TON of movie studios we will probably be seeing a lot more later on.
They showed off a trailer to God of War 3 that really left a lot to the imagination and they showed a new game called Mag from the people that created SOCOM: Navy Seals. MAG is an online multiplayer game that will let up to 256 people battle online. That is a lot of damn people! The trailer they showed was not bad, but I would have liked to see more footage.
Another cool little thing they added was through GranTurismo 5: Prologue. Now you can watch a car programs though their GT TV section. I think you have to pay for it so I will not be venturing through it any time soon.
I was a bit disappointed in the fact that Sony could have done something else with the PSP to make it even more kick ass, but I guess that will be next year. I was more excited about the movie download service then most of the games and that is a bad sign. I love the things the PS3 can do, but one thing it has been loosing it's grip on as of late is the amount of kick ass games you could only get on a PS3. They used to have Grand Theft Auto and Final Fantasy and now they have neither to themselves. Not looking good. Riley Rating: 8.0

E3 2008: Microsoft and Nintendo Press Conferences
This year's Electronic Entertainment Expo is to be thought of in rather dire terms. A lot of companies (like Activision Blizzard) are not even showing up so the only reason to pay attention is for the big three to show what they have in store for gamers in the coming months. Yesterday, Microsoft came out and today Nintendo and Sony both get a chance to let gamers know why they should spend money on their stuff.
Microsoft: The Xbox 360 is pretty much at a crossroads. They have been out the longest, but they have had a number of slip ups along the way (limited stock, hardware failing). Microsoft came out Monday and gave the world a glimpse at some of the biggest games to come to the system in the next 8-9 months. They showed a demo of Fallout 3 by Bethesda which looks really good and I personally am excited for. Then they showed one of my favorite franchises Resident Evil 5. This one take place in Africa and has co-op play with a new female character tagging along with Chris Redfield. The demo I was most impressed with was Gears of War 2. This was my favorite game of 2006 and somehow it looks even better.
The surprises with Microsoft don't stop there though. They then showed off a retooling of the Xbox 360 dashboard. Instead of the bladed style that it used to have, it is now going for a more menu like look. They are also coming out with something called avatars where you basically created a Nintendo Wii looking representation of yourself and that will be like you profile picture of the old Xbox 360 dashboard. Personally, I am not to excited about this feature because I like the way the blades are now, but I can see how Microsoft is really trying to make it look more friendly to non gamers.
Along with the new dashboard comes new content providers for their video marketplace. NBC Universal will be provided a crap load of content in the coming months. What really sealed the deal for me though was their partnership with Netflix to provide their streaming movie service through the Xbox 360. If you have a netflix account that lets you watch their instant movie catalogue you will be able to do so from the comfort of you couch. I love netflix and think this was probably the biggest news at the show so far. With the games they showed and the new feature they provide I think they gave a great E3 press conference. Riley Rating: 8.0
Nintendo: A couple years ago everyone was looking at Nintendo like you look at a wounded dog. They were limping around and everyone was waiting for them to die. Now Nintendo is at the top of the mountain and they spent most of their conference stating that fact. They brought out a bunch of numbers showing how they are obtaining an audience who would otherwise not play a video game. They started the show showing Shaun White Snowboarding for the Wii. You can do it on the new Wii balance board and they had Shaun White himself showing just how easy it is.
They then showed a Wii version of Animal Crossing that left me unimpressed. It is more or less the same thing except you will be able to visit other players towns. It will come with a Wii microphone that is placed on your TV like the sensor bar and allow a whole room of people talk to each other. I don't know if I want what is said around me thrown around online into other people's homes, but I haven't tested it yet so I don't know.
They then showed a lot of stuff coming for the DS. Mainly another Guitar Hero game. There was a rumor stating that Nintendo would be coming out with a DS that didn't have the GBA (Game Boy Advance ) port, but now I seriously doubt that.
They also showed off their new little device called the Wii motion plus. It plugs into the bottom of the Wii remote and will simulate 1:1 motion with your body. They then showed off a new Wii Sports game that will take advantage of the device. Wii Sports Resort will have a beach vib to it. The game that got me the most excited was the sword fighting game.
Miyamoto (the guy that made Mario and Zelda) came out to show off another game called Wii Music. Unlike other music games this one will not have you hitting buttons to on screen stuff. You basically hold the Wii Remote like you would hold that real life instrument and then pretend like you are playing that instrument. They will have 50 songs for the game when it comes out. It looked really simple, but maybe they had a lot of practice with it.
I was really disappointed with Nintendo's conference. They came out, beat their chest for a bit and then showed everyone a bunch of games for people that just want to do something until they go out to drink. I really thought they would show off a new handheld or a storage solution to the Wii, but all they showed was a bunch of numbers and pictures of old people playing DS's. Riley Rating: 6.5

Review: Grand Theft Auto IV PS3
Games have come a long way. I remember playing GTA 2 on a computer in our schools library. The game was a guilty pleasure. Never before could you run over people and deliver drugs in a game (at least I hadn't played it yet). GTA 3 changed the way games were looked at. Instead of being something children played, people finally started to see that grown ups liked to get their game on as well. Now with GTA 4 getting so much hype it is time to get an idea of it from the view point of someone that has nothing to gain from it. My black ass.
GTA 4 is the sequel to one of the most popular games of all time. GTA3 and their sequels gave people an open world in which to do (almost) anything they wanted. That included killing hookers. GTA 4 bumped up the visuals made a world even more believable and gives you one of the better stories ever in a video game.
You play Niko Bellic. An immigrant fresh off the boat looking to make a better life for himself. He does have a cousin in Liberty City (GTA 4's version of N.Y.C) that has been lying to him about how he has been living it up. Niko then begins doing what he does best. Kill people and be a bad ass. You get your missions through lovely, detailed cinematics that show off the detail of each character in the game. You drive around town in a variety of cars (stolen or otherwise) completing missions and causing havoc.
The world of GTA 4 is alive. Day or night there is always something going on and I think this is the biggest improvment in the game. In the middle of the day you will have people walking down the street talking to each other engaging in a number of activities. Even the illegal kind. Once I was walking down the street minding my business when a cop started running towards me. I was about to shoot when I noticed that he was running after another guy. That was cool. Niko also has a cell phone and you can call a variety of numbers. I called 911 just to see what would happened and I got a cop to show up to my location. They also have a bunch of radio stations that play music or even talk shows. I like completing a mission and then getting in a car to hear about my destruction on the newswire.
There are a number of things to do in this game. You can of course complete the game. Or if you are tired of killing people you can play bowling, pool, darts, or just go out on a date with one of the ladies you meet and try to get "lucky". This game will keep you busy for awhile.
Now the problems. People talk about the story as if it is akin to the Godfather or something. It is basically the same story about a bad guy doing bad things for maybe the right reason that you have seen and heard before. What makes it different is that it is well written and that doesn't happen much in a video game.
There is also a problem with the framerate dipping when a lot of stuff is going on on screen at once. It is hard to say this game is a technical acheivement when they could not keep the framerate at at least 30 frames a second.
With that being said it is already being said this is the game of the year. And I don't see why not

Verizon Blackberry Curve 8330 review
When it comes to phone I am a fanatic. When I am out and about I prefer to look at a lady's phone and not her...well you know what I mean. I have gone through many smartphones and all of them seemed to be missing something. That is until I got myself a blackberry.
The first ever blackberry I bought was a used Blackberry pearl 8130. I fell in love with it's ease of use but the keypad and UI needed work in my opinion. Then I got myself a blackberry Curve 8330 from Verizon and although smartphones still need some work this is the best one I have had so far.
Just looking at the phone there is not anything different from the Curves that have been out there for over a year. The biggest difference is that with Verizon (and Sprint) you get 3G which means faster connections when surfing the web. The biggest difference from the Pearl to this phone is the keyboard. Instead of fighting with suretype (which was good but not the best) you can get the accuracy that you need with a full QWERTY keyboard. The buttons are spaced apart enough that you won't find yourself hitting multiple buttons. I text way more then I call so this is a device made just for me.
Another thing that is evident with all blackberries is their ability to bring your email everywhere you go. All you ahve to do is set up your email account through the phone and in no time you are getting your email messages on your phone. It doesn't do HTML email so you get a bunch of stuff with your email, but I heard an update is coming that will fix that. Another problem I have with the email is that if you have several days worth of email on there you have to go to each one and delete them. I would like to be able to delete the ones I want all at one time.
The browser is the closest thing from the iphone/ipod touch that you are going to get to the real internet in your hand. I love this browser way more than the one on the aging Palm OS. With 3G you can surf around the web in realative quickness and you get an accurate representation of the net on your phone.
It comes with a media player, voice recorder, camera, and video camera. I like the pictures that it take although it will not make you give up your stand alone camera. I really wished that phones would bump up the cameras to 3MPs (megapixels). I also wished phone makers would make a better video camera. I don't need HD worth video but I do want to make out what the hell I was recording. You can put videos and songs on it (better if you have a micro sd card) and watch them in full screen mode. I would get something else to do this if you are one of those people that doesn't like to charge their phones every night (like my wife).
In all I think blackberry has the top smartphones on the planet (I would like to get a sony ericsson but they don't mess with Verizon). I really want blackberry to give the UI a little push to make it look more user friendly then what they have right now. A better camera is also a want but what they have right now is that bad.

60.88
That is how much I paid for a tank of gas. This is fucking ridiculous! I thought this was the reason why we went into Iraq (fucking protesters lieing again!). I would not feel bad if these oil companies were struggling, but they made 40 billion last year. Yes, 40 billion! That is a lot of fucking people over they have done. There has to be a point where the gas gets to a price where everyone just fucking goes crazy and start hijacking fuel trucks. Does Bush think the stimulus package is going to help this at all?
So, Grand Theft Auto IV is hours from release and I am not that excited for it. I have Super Smash Bros on my Wii (stop giggling). I have MLB 08 on my PS3. I have Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core on my PSP. I have no time to play other shit! But strangely for some reason I want to go sit in line for 2 hours and get it early. I think it has something to do with the fact that I can hang out with other geeks and do geeky shit. That is like a crackhead. A crackhead likes to smoke his/her crack in a crackhouse because like minded people are partaking in the same activities. Now, you pull a crack pipe out in the TV section of Best Buy...
I don't know if I am getting the stimulus package. I qualify because I am a Veteran getting compensation (I call it shut up money) so I will get it because of the amount I got last year. 300 bucks is what they say people like me will get. That is just enough to get the new blackberry curve when it comes out for Verizon. That is as far as I have thought it out. Because lets face it 300 bucks is not a lot of money. That is the kind of money you win at a poker game or find on a dead hooker. You are not thinking about life and death type stuff with 300 bucks. Now, if I was getting that 1200 dollars then I would think about paying a bill or two, but for now 300 is enough to get my phone and a BJ from that sprague hooker I have had my eye on for a couple of weeks now.
