I am usually one of those people that get themselves into a really stupid situation from time to time and this time is no different. I live with M. She is Mexican and has her family that are scattered about Washington state. This is not a problem. The problem begins with the demands she places on me. She is always telling me about what they do in their culture and everything and expects me to follow it to the tee. She wants me to make a big deal out of saying hello to them and stuff when they will walk in the house and not say anything to me and she thinks nothing of that. I am all for doing what makes people comfortable, but they do not do anything to make me feel comfortable. Not once has anyone said, "Hey, Harry. Do you mind if we stay a couple nights at the house?" I don't know how many times I have seen their kids with their feet all on my Xbox 360 and TV while no one says anything. I don't feel like I am in a position to mess with their kids, but they won't say anything until they see me blowing a gasket.
I am not trying to be a meanie or anything. I like her family, but the things she wants me to do seems more like she wants me to do it so she looks good in the eyes of her family and not because they make anyone feel better. And it's not like she doesn't know my personality by now. I think she ignores it and tries to get out of me the things I don't do well. For instance, I am a loner type person. I have always been like that. I just like to be by myself in thought just sitting there. If her family is around and I don't come out and "socialize" then she gets pissed. And its not like I am not going to eventually come out into the living room see a bunch of Mexican and not talk to them. I feel at times she is asking way more out of me then I can give sometimes.
Madden 08 came out and I don't know what to make of it just yet. There are some little annoying things in it that have been a staple of sports games for years. I still don't know why I can't create a player in the franchise mode. And speaking of franchise mode it seems like I will have to wait another year before they put all the features back into the next gen madden that have been in the PS2 version of madden for almost 3 or 4 years. I am not asking for much. I want to be able to create players in the franchise mode and be able to call the shots in Owner's mode just like I could for the PS2 version.
The past 3 weeks have been filled with driving long distances and sleeping in other people's beds. Yep, I was touring. I was in North Idaho then Oregon then back to Idaho and Montana. I sold a lot of DVDs and made a lot of people laugh and you can't really ask for more than that.
I have joined a group of comedians that will be trying to do shows this year at colleges and stuff. We haven't been a group for more than 2 weeks and already you have people doubting we can do anything. In comedy being pessimistic about this shit can really hamper your ability to see clearly. For instance, I was talking to another comic about the group and he had nothing but criticism about it. Do you know about this or that and all that shit. It was clear to me that he was not happy that he was left out so he wanted to punch and many holes in out game plan as possible. We looked at all of this shit before going on with it. If anything at least we got some cool ass pictures out of the deal. If you are going to hate do it like everyone else, behind our backs. I think it is a great plan and a great way to sell this to the colleges. It will be hard getting in there with the bigger schools, but I think if we work small and then work our way up then we can really make a case for going to the bigger schools.
I will be headlining again at the brickwall. This is my second time doing this and hopefully it goes as well this time as it did last time. I have a lot of stuff so it is always hard to know what jokes I will be doing up there. We will be putting on a Sons of Walker type show as well and it will be getting filmed so I think it will be in my best interest to light the stage on fire.
