No wrestling or MMA stuff today. Just random musings in true Blog fashion.

New Year's came and went and I had the worst hangover ever. Kids, don't mix Jack, Gin, Beer, and Carrot Sticks. not a good idea. i was throwing up til 2 in the afternoon then i finally passed out. AND i feel like i tore my shoulder out of the socket from playing Wii bowling, Wii tennis, and Wii baseball.

I feel Wiitarded. Fun system though. They've come a long way since the whole red/blue wireless controllers for the original Nintendo. Those were great though and they emitted more radiation than Chernobyl I'm sure. A Chernobyl reference, yeah my stand-up career is flying high.

Speaking of stand-up, I'll be back on stage Jan. 6th in Point Pleasant, and Jan. 13th in Montclair. I'm actually nervous again to get back on stage after a month. I don't know how much longer I'm going to be doing stand-up so get out to see me when you can. I'm going to be super busy with my new website when it launches.

Speaking of my website, anybody like working for hope? I've got a video project in the works, and I'll probably need some people who want to do some comedic acting. If you're interested, send me a message. I'll probably start filming in about two weeks, there's no budget, it's for fun, but I promise you, I don't forget about the people who come through for me.

Oh man, Conan O'Brien is spinning his wedding ring, he's bearded, and he keeps talking about water. He needs some writers. Leno was actually better without his writers. Maybe Jay should write some stuff for Conan. We are truly in bizarro world.

And Dunkin Donuts has new Milky Way flavored hot chocolate. Do yourself a favor and try it. It tastes like a melted candy bar. It warmed the cockles of my heart.

Last but not least, never forget Stryper. I'm out.

2008, Behold the rise of the EMPIRE....

ThunderBlog #2

glpunk — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 20:14:35 +0000

Hello People!

Well it’s been a while since I posted a proper blog. I said before I’d be writing twice a week, but that obviously hasn’t happened.

As for my new website, it’s coming along nicely. Had a phone call with one of the designers last night and everything is going as planned. It’s getting me excited. Danny, Ryan, and I have already done some podcasts to get some sort of format down. The video end of things hit a snag, but it’s all good. We’ve got a pretty amazing idea that once it happens; I think people will like it. Why does all this shit have to be so expensive though?

Did anyone see the new trailer for The Dark Knight? That film will be incredible. All the people who doubt Heath Ledger’s ability to be the Joker, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. He’s being held to a high standard though. Jack Nicholson was the defining Joker in film history.

Enough crap, let’s talk wrestling and MMA.

For those that don’t care about UFC or MMA, you can skip this section, but you’re missing out.

TUF Finale & WEC 12/12

The Ultimate Fighter Finale was a phenomenal show from top to bottom. After a lot of speculation on the abilities of this season’s cast, they all brought their “A” game to the finale. The war between War Machine and J-Roc was one of the bloodiest, hard hitting fights I’ve seen in a long time. It reminded me of Huerta vs. Garcia, but with tons more blood. Just two guys pounding each other for three rounds until one can’t go anymore. I hope both of these guys get future opportunities in either UFC or WEC.

Anyone still doubting Roger Huerta? I’m not Mexican and I love the guy. He’s an exciting fighter, and I’d say he’s maybe one fight from a title shot. I’d really like to see him step into the octagon and face Kenny “KenFlo” Florian. Note from Danny Goodtimes: KenFlo is the worst nickname in MMA. I agree! Seriously though, after the whole Stevenson, Penn, Sherk dance is over, Florian and Huerta have to be considered next in line for a shot at the gold. Right now, I’d say the lightweight division is the most exciting division in UFC, hands down. Your thoughts?

The recent WEC show on VS was another hard hitting, exciting card put on by the little brother of the UFC. Three title fights on one card? How can you beat that? To start, Doug Marshall dominated Ariel Gandulla quickly. It was barely a match. I’d like to see Marshall in there with a more experienced fighter, but I know the light heavyweight division in the WEC is thin right now.

The most exciting fights of the night go to Faber vs. Curran and Pulver vs. Swanson. I had my fingers crossed these battles would lead to Faber vs. Pulver, and I think I’ll get my wish in April. Seriously, if you haven’t seen Urijah Faber fight, you’re missing out. The guy is non-stop action, his submission defense is mythological, and his striking is quicker than a fart on a first date. What?

All in all, the WEC is morphing into a much needed #2 promotion, even though technically it’s part of the #1 promotion. I apologize to any big IFL fans out there, but after watching this season, the IFL fighters are pretty much just paid amateurs. There are 4, maybe 5 guys in the promotion that are at UFC level. It’s fun to watch, but I mean the heavyweight division alone is kind of laughable. Where’s the endurance, or the cardio? These guys are gassing out in Round 2? Seriously? I hope the IFL pulls their shit together and comes back next year with some more quality teams and fighters. Otherwise, they shouldn’t be surprised if the shantytown network, the MyNetwork, pulls the plug.

UFC 79 is coming up on December 29^th and instead of doing quick thoughts I’ll just give my predictions for the televised part of the card.

Hughes vs. St.-Pierre – Is this a five rounder? I think it is, but I’m going with Hughes by submission in Round 3.

Liddell vs. Silva – The proverbial double edged sword match is upon us. One guy returns to glory, the other is royally diminished. I see Silva taking this one by second round TKO.

Machida vs. Sokoudjou – So many consonants. Not enough vowels. Sokoudjou by first round KO.

Palelei vs. Sanchez - I don’t know much about either of these fighters. Oh wait, Sanchez was the only guy to lose to Cro Cop in the UFC. That’s got to hurt. I’ll go with Palelei by decision in 3.

Clementi vs. Guillard – Wow, really? Clementi by decision in 3.

Let’s talk wrestling.

Coming off a huge 15^th Anniversary show and a solid Armageddon, RAW almost pulled out a belly flop last night. The first half hour was an abortion. No offense to abortions. I know USA exec Bonnie Hammer likes the Mr. McMahon character, but Bonnie is not a male in the 18-35 demographic. I am! So Bonnie and Vince, let’s chill with the whole Mr. McMahon has lost his marbles character. For half of the segment, I though Vince shit his pants with that face he was making.

Onto the positive things on RAW, who did Jeff Hardy buy flowers for to get this push? I’m a huge Hardy fan, but this sudden push is surprising to me. I guess I’m just waiting for it to fall apart for no reason, but I hope it doesn’t. Jeff, I know you don’t read this, but seriously, don’t fuck this up. This is it. You’re the less country-ish out of you and Matt. Don’t screw this up. You might get to headline Wrestlemania. Lord knows I don’t want Randy Bore-ton to headline that show. I’ll cry. I don’t like crying.

The rest of RAW was somewhat forgettable except for the top notch Ric Flair angle, and the tagging of Carlito and Santino. Santino is gold. Ric Flair is Ric Flair. Nuff said.

Over on Smackdown, Edge continues to be the best heel in the business. Two fake Edges? What a concept? An actual reason for the Major Brothers to exist? Brilliant! I hope Edge starts a new stable on Smackdown. Kenny Dykstra has nothing to do. He’s blonde. Have him grow his hair out and we’ll have three fake Edges. Have Maryse manage the Major Brothers. Blondes all around!

In other news, somebody hit Great Khali in the knee with a pipe and hope that he goes into Peter Griffin reaction mode. Ahh, ssssss, Ahh, ssssss, Ahhh. Then watch as he fades away.

TNA CHAOS

Well it’s hard to stay positive when watching TNA, but I’ll try. The best things about TNA right now are Christian Cage, AJ Styles, and Samoa Joe. Jay Lethal is pretty boss too.

Here’s the thing. I mentioned it earlier with Bonnie Hammer. You have Jeff Jarrett, Vince Russo, and Dutch Mantel as the creative/booking team. That’s three men, all over 40 (possibly over 50?), booking a product aimed at the 18-35 demographic. You can knock that down to 18-30 if you’d like. So these three guys are going to create a wrestling product that today’s audience wants to see. Vince Russo had what maybe two successful years in WWE and now we’re getting Deal or No Deal rip-off segments? Let me be clear. I don’t want to see shit like that on a wrestling program. What’s next, rip-offs of American Idol? It’s garbage so get it off my screen.

TNA needs to focus on sense in their angles and storylines. Have them make sense. Don’t make them horrible comic book stories come to life. Christopher Daniels is fired? I’d love to have the ending of that storyline in front of me. Another holiday tournament where the winner where’s a costume is coming up? Am I hearing that right? Didn’t I say once a year!

OK, I’m going negative again. Here’s how I would have the Daniels storyline play out. How about someone like Johnny Devine or someone start a new Prophecy and call themselves the Fallen Angel. Put together a group with Skipper and Petey Williams or someone. Then have them start to cheat to win within the X-Division, or feud them with Shelley & Sabin. The whole time, the real Christopher Daniels is shown in the crowd every week looking on in horror as his gimmick and stable are doing terrible things. Run that angle for about four weeks, then have Daniels jump the barrier and beat the crap out of Devine, only to have security eject him. How to end the angle you say? I don’t know. I’m not getting paid for this.

I rambled a bit. It happens. One more thing, the ROH PPV, Man Up, is said to be incredible and the best PPV of the year. We’ll see! I’m going to wait to get it on DVD so I can own it and watch it over and over. And I’ll probably be attending the next ROH show in Jersey.

That wraps it up for me. Thanks for reading and stay tuned to this blog. Lots of good shit is coming in 2008 from my friends and I. I’m out.

Thunder... Thunder... ThunderBlog

glpunk — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 19:36:34 +0000

Thunder…Thunder…Thunder Blog. Here we go.

New style of blog for anyone who reads this regularly. I’ll touch on my personal life briefly, and then I’m going to jump headfirst into my thoughts on pro wrestling, MMA, and anything else that tickles my fancy. I’m going to be posting my blog and a bunch of different sites all over the web to start to spread the word about my new website that’s launching in January. I’ll throw out more details as the time gets closer, but here goes.

Did some more stand-up at the ol’ CQ last night. I won for the third time and was offered a spot on some upcoming shows in North Jersey. Should be good times. I’m probably going to hit up an open mic on Thursday night. I’ll throw up a myspace bulletin with details.

I’m still looking for a job in the world of video production as an editor, OR as a production consultant. I here those are in high demand these days. Feel free to hit up my email vimerlot@yahoo.com if you know anyone in the Jersey or NYC area in need of video production assistance.

Other than that, not much going on, just chilling thru this holiday season.

Oh check out two new bands I recently discovered. For fans of metal and hardcore, check out Parkway Drive, and awesome Aussie metal band, and check out A Girl A Gun A Ghost. Both very heavy and very great.

OK, here comes the MMA and wrestling schtuff.

First up, UFC 79, WEC on 12/12, and thoughts on Fedor and Brock Lesnar.

UFC 79 is a double edged sword. On one hand, we get to see the rubber match between Hughes and GSP, but if GSP wins, I doubt we’ll ever get to see Serra vs. Hughes. So the whole build-up over this season of TUF will be for nothing. BALLS. Even if we do get to see Hughes vs. Serra, it won’t be for like a year, and all the drama behind it will have evaporated. A real kick in the dick for MMA fans, but hey, Serra has bulging discs in his back, injuries happen.

Also, on UFC 79, the debut of Sokouskjogg, how the fuck do you say that guy’s name? Seriously thought, I’m excited for Sokoudjou’s debut. He’s a good striker, and how can you not support a guy called the “African Assassin”? Awesome nickname.

Then there’s Liddell vs. Silva. Seriously, if Liddell loses this fight his career is fucked. The Liddell marks can hoot and holler all they want, but three straight losses from the former poster boy not only for UFC, but for MMA, is a problem. People have obviously found the holes in Chuck’s game, see Jackson, Quinton, and Jardine, Keith. So unless he repairs the gaping vaginas in his fight game, he will never the force he once was. As for the Axe Murderer, I’ve been a huge fan of his via video cassette ever since I saw him knock the snot out of SAKURABA. You have to yell that name in a weird voice. It’s a rule. I’m glad we get to see this dream fight at UFC 79, but I think whoever loses this fight is gonna suffer some serious consequences. They should’ve called this show, UFC 79: Double Edged Sword. Seriously.

WEC 12/12, because we don’t have time to name WEC shows! Anyway, I’m not going to go into much detail about this show, but it looks stacked. Urijah Faber is a very exciting fighter. If you’ve never see him fight, do yourself a favor, watch this card. His last title defense against Chance Farrar was quick and ended in submission. You can’t beat that. Also, you get the 145lb debut of Jens Pulver in WEC. What more do you want? Just watch it! Unless you don’t have the VS network. You should probably call your local operator.

Quick Thoughts on Fedor

Overhyped. Choi fight is a joke. Scared to fight in the UFC.

Quick Thoughts on Brock Lesnar.

Big. Strong. Dangerous. Not ready for Frank Mir. Fingers Crossed.

On to wrestling, where I’ll give you my thoughts on Chris Jericho, Armageddon, the direction of TNA, and some other randomness.

Chris Jericho’s debut was underwhelming. Blame it on the internet, blame it on the useless Save_Us campaign, blame it on creative diarrhea. The reaction he received this week on RAW just proved that people are glad to see him back, but they realize he’s on RAW. The land of lost pushes. So he beats Orton at Armageddon, then what? So he loses to Orton at Armageddon then what? I think pushing him into a WWE Title feud was a bit hasty. I would’ve rather seen him feud with Mr. Kennedy just because the promo war would’ve been great. I think building Jericho to a big WWE Title match at the Rumble or Mania would’ve been smarter. Armageddon looks to have a lot of solid matches on it, but I don’t think Jericho will help pop the buyrate at all. I love the guy, just don’t see it.

Personally, I’m intrigued by the Jeff Hardy/Triple H storyline more than anything. WWE seems serious about pushing Jeff as a main eventer, if he can keep his shit together. The outcome of their match at Armageddon will go a long way to determine if Jeff has broken through the glass ceiling, or if he’s just the trigger on another Triple H heel turn. I’m rootin’ for the guy with the rainbow root tattooed on this right arm.

TNA. Hold on I have to sigh. I don’t want to be another person picking apart TNA’s creative faults because it’s been done to death. I’m going to point out the positives in TNA because there are a lot. My biggest problem with TNA is the re-hash of old WCW storylines and I’ll leave it at that.

The Turkey Bowl episode of Impact had some great wrestling action. The 3 way matches were great, and I hope TNA does this show every year on the holiday, and maybe one other time during the year so it remains unique and special.

Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, Christopher Daniels, Jay Lethal, Motor City MachineGuns, Christian Cage, Booker T. These should be your top guys. They should be in top storylines for the next six months. Throw LAX in their too. Almost forgot them. I’d throw Kurt Angle in that mix too, but he’s got to ditch the comedy. Serious, dangerous Kurt Angle is much more entertaining. Kurt, if I could talk to you personally for a second. Your wife is hot, and would be a much better crux for a serious character, then a goofy guy spoofing TV shows. Stop listening to Russo. If you want to be an MMA fighter, they rarely let you dress up like a pilgrim before you get into the octagon or ring. Just saying.

ECW. What the hell happened? Again, I’m going to stay positive. Shelton Benjamin and Elijah Burke is a positive. I’ve been preaching this to my buddies for months now. I’m glad WWE Creative finally heard me. These two guys have a main event future, and together they’ll get their much quicker. Just don’t call them Harlem Heat, or Black Demolition, or anything retarded. Just let them be Shelton and Elijah. Oh, and let Shelton start calling himself “The Natural”. It would work for him, trust me.

As for CM Punk, I’m a big Punk fan. I have been since ROH days when I’d go see him live regularly. He’s horribly undertulized on ECW right now. No promos, no intense feuds. They’re just parading him over to Smackdown so people can see him. How about give people a reason to care about him? Let him return to his “I’m better than you” gimmick. It would work so much better than babyface vanilla straight edge guy. I never even imagined they could turn CM Punk vanilla, but they managed it. Bravo Creative team.

Quick thoughts on ROH

Still Awesome. Great PPVs. Can’t wait for the return to Edison. Briscoes rule.

That about wraps it up. I can’t believe I’m writing a blog about wrestling again. I did it in college for several websites. Some of you may remember my Midcard Madness days. Yeah, talk about full circle. Anyway, thanks for reading and check back for another blog this weekend where I’ll talk more about Smackdown, TNA, and any new MMA newsbits.

Seriously, thanks for reading. LATER.

Unemployed AGAIN.

glpunk — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 19:54:06 +0000

Well that about wraps that up.

After seven months of working for a pothead and coke-head, I'm unemployed again. They couldn't afford me. What they were paying me was a travesty, and I guess weed is more important than growing your business so whatever.

So if anyone out there knows anyone looking for an editor/producer/digital media guru, gimme a shout.

In the meantime, I'll be pursuing my comedy hardcore, and hoping I don't have to be on unemployment for very long. It's been twice in one year!!!!!

LATER.

Everything and Something

glpunk — Sun, 15 Jul 2007 04:40:19 +0000

WHAT THE FUCK IS UP PEOPLE.

YAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Feeling pretty metal after a sweet day at the Sounds of the Underground tour with Jill and Danny. Oh man, got to see Devil Wears Prada, Darkest Hour, All that Remains, Shadows Fall, and Everytime I Die. All That Remains rocked my fucking cock and everyone else's too. One of the best live bands I've ever seen. Such a sweet metally day.

IN OTHER NEWS. I'm back on stage July 24th. My comedy took a seat on the back burner this past month due to my job, but I'm back on track now. I've been writing a bit, and I'm really psyched to get back on stage and keep pluggin' along. Pluggin' along? I'm retarded.

IN EVEN MORE NEWS. ACTV launched. Hooray! I'm happy, you're happy, everybody is happy. Check out the site and make sure to keep checkin' back cuz we're gonna have some more entertaining stuff up in the near future. I know right now it seems like a bunch of ad-type pieces for restaurants, but we're workin' on some good shit. Plus I'm turning a movie about 4 guys and poker into a TV show for the site. Should be good times. ACTION JUNKIES. YES.

I was out in the sun all day. I'M DONE TYPING NOW.

ACTV update

glpunk — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 05:19:05 +0000

Hey!

Check out www.youtube.com/ACTVclips for teaser videos for five videos from ACTV.

We're launching soon, like this week soon. Just a bunch of little details to work out and we'll be up.

And don't worry, the quality of the YouTube vids is low low low, but we shot everything in HDV, and on the actual site the vids are gonna look fantastic.

www.youtube.com/ACTVclips

Check it out!!!

What a week

glpunk — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 02:14:29 +0000

Most people know what a huge wrestling fan I am. Those who know me very well, know that Chris Benoit was my favorite professional wrestler. I was almost in tears at Wrestlemania 20 when he finally won the World Title. Yes, the outcomes in wrestling are predetermined, but being given the World Title still means something in this business.

So now, four days after this horrific, headline news story, I'm still shocked. I'm still looking for some sort of reasoning. A man I looked up to, a hero of mine, lost control of his life and committed heinous acts.

I don't have any real insightful, intelligent commentary on the matter. I flat out just wish it didn't happen. After reading and hearing some of the facts about the case, I understand it more. What Benoit did is unforgivable, but no one can truly know the stresses in his life and how badly they affected his mental state. From being on the road constantly, to marital problems, and now the realization that his son was very ill, the stress in Benoit's life was immense. While still not a reason for doing what he did, it helps me to understand.

I guess I feel I understand him more because I've struggled with stress issues during my life, but I've never really gotten to that severe breaking point. And in recent years I've begun to control them more and more by relieving stress in different ways. I know a lot of Benoit's friends were there for them and he could've gone to them, cried in front of them, and they would've helped him in any way they could've. But he didn't. He went down a path that you can't come back from. And I understand.

A lot of this is rambling because sometimes these blogs help me get thoughts out and piece them together, but it just hurts. It hurts to lose a hero. It hurts to lose someone that meant a lot to me. And some people will say, "he's just some wrestler, just a celebrity", but then I guess those people just wouldn't understand.

In other news, hopefully we'll be launching ACTV very soon. It's been delayed while I develop different graphics and because of our extensive coverage of the Borgata Summer Open. I'm excited for everyone to see it. I was director, camera, sound, lighting, and editor on just about every piece. And there's about 30 different videos right now. I've put the last three months of my life into ACTV, and I hope very much that it becomes successful and leads to bigger and better things.

Well I'm done blogging for now. Just remember, don't let the stresses in your life build up. There's always a way to relieve stress.

AtlanticCity.TV

glpunk — Thu, 14 Jun 2007 03:23:38 +0000

We've launched!

The teaser video is up with the full launch coming by the end of next week. Currently we're covering the Borgata Summer Open Poker Tournament. That's a bunch of fun.

But yeah, the site will be up soon and along with all the great vids covering AC nightlife, dining, fashion, events, golf, and poker....we're going to be doing some reality based shows too. So stay tuned!!!

And who knows my face might pop up in a clip or two (like in the tattoo show clip)

LATER.

Thundercats: The Movie

glpunk — Thu, 07 Jun 2007 03:24:45 +0000

Thundercats: The Movie

Wow. It's really happening.

http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117966320.html?categoryid=13&cs=1&nid=2562

I'm actually happier it's going to be CGI althought I'd prefer a traditional style of animation. I'm just glad they're not going to try and do a live action version.

The best part is, even if the movie sux balls, the action figures will hopefully kick ass.

I'm guessing the film will come out in 2009. I should probably get a move on and finish my Thundercats full sleeve. Lion-O and the Sword of Omens are gettin' lonely.

Later.

June 19th I'll be doing stand-up comedy for the 5th time in Point Pleasant.

Nothing much else to report. Working extra hard on the launch of ACTV. Shooting, editing, shooting, editing, more editing, and then some editing.

Memorial Day weekend was good. Worked on Saturday in AC where a crazy man called me an asshole for filming Boardwalk Hall and not recognizing John Wayne's birthday. Hooray for crazies!!!

The rest of the weekend was spent with families and friends. Oh, and I worked from home on Monday. Work, Work, and a dash of WORK.

Not complaining though, i'm gettin' PAID and ACTV is gonna be BOSS. Alright, I'm done typing now.

Blog for May 14, 2007

glpunk — Mon, 14 May 2007 04:24:59 +0000

So my last couple of blogs have been kind of brief because I've been extra busy. Workin' on AC_TV is taking up most of my time. It's been great though. We've been pushing the launch back so that all of the video pieces look professional. Soon we'll be working with the Borgata doing weekly Poker tournaments and that's just the beginning. We've got tons of ideas in the pipeline for AC_TV and I'm really excited about it.

I've also been working hard on my stand-up comedy. I'll be on stage for the fourth time this Tuesday night. I'm allowed up to 7 minutes this time. That may not seem like a lot, but 5 minutes felt like forever so I'm sure 7 will be a trip. All the professional comics that have headlined the shows have given me great feedback. It's really great that these comedians take the time to give advice to up and coming amateurs like me. Also, Pat & Christine have been super supportive. I can't thank them enough for this opportunity to perform on a regular basis like this.

I'm hoping to do a few open mics in North Brunswick and NYC over the summer. Just gotta get a hold of some more free evenings once AC_TV launches.

Also, I'm super psyched for the Sounds of the Underground tour on July 14th. Shadows Fall, All that Remains, Devil Wears Prada, Darkest Hour, Everytime I Die, and a bunch of other awesome metal bands. It's at Starland and it's gonna RULE.

So yeah, things are going great right now, just gotta hope my car holds up with all this commuting, but hopefully by year's end I'll save some cash and be able to buy a new one. Other than that, not much new going on. I really just felt like typing.

LATER.

May 15th I'm doing stand-up AGAYNE.

And ACTV launches in two weeks. I'll have a ton of info when that shit happens.

Other than that, not much more to report other than Spiderman 3 SUCKED BALLS. Sam Raimi needs a friggin' time out to think about life. BALLS.

Peace out triggiacs.

Short blog

glpunk — Sat, 21 Apr 2007 03:24:11 +0000

May 1st I'm back on stage doing stand-up comedy. Hooray!

Other than that, I've been workin'. AC TV launches sooooooon.

Short blog.

I'm out!

glpunk — Sat, 14 Apr 2007 13:40:26 +0000

Busy Busy Busy.

So yeah, the tentative launch date for AC TV is May 1st. I'm doing comedy again on May 1st. God I hope we save the launch party for another day.

I've really just been workin' like a mad man. Good thing I had all that time off after OP. I've been shootin' tons of Atlantic City hot spots, and then I've been editing them. I'm a one man production crew and it's been fun. The only real snag has been disagreements on how the graphics and sound fx should look and sound, but it's no big deal. I'm more worried about the content and the story each piece tells.

Also, I own an iMac now. What a fun lil' machine that is. I've now gots da skillz with Avid, Adobe Premiere, and Final Cut Pro/Final Cut ExpressHD. That's like the Green Lantern Corp of editing software right there.

Alright I'm going to bed. I got my sweet hour long commute tomorrow morning. The only crappy part is, no more Imus, :::single tear:::. Idiot. Seriously tho, I've never heard his radio show once. Just thought I'd be topical.

Peace out ya jerks!!!!

My stand-up performance went really well on Tuesday. I'm lookin' to do more open mics in Jersey before branchin' out to the NYC scene.

Job is going good. Just editing tons of footage from AC. Other than that, enjoying the new Shadows Fall record and relaxing. Nothing too exciting.

Later.

the fun never stops...

glpunk — Tue, 27 Mar 2007 03:21:57 +0000

So it's back to Atlantic City tomorrow to shoot some more footage of different shops at the Pier at Caesar's. AC TV is set to launch at the end of April and it should be pretty cool. Atlantic City has a lot of new shops and buildings going up downtown to really improve the look. It's great that I get to help promote the town as a whole because it's a big part of Jersey and Jersey rules.

other than that, April 3rd I return to the comedy stage. hooray!

Wednesday night and I'm fucking beat.

My new job is an hour away which means a two hour commute every day. It's fun though, shooting all sorts of places in Atlantic City and editing. I'm finally getting a chance to learn Final Cut Pro which is the last of the big three editing systems i wanted to learn.

My stand-up debut last night at Uncle Vinnie's in Point Pleasant went great! The two headlining comics and the two awesome hosts, Pat & Christine, couldn't believe it was my first time doing stand-up. I got some good laughs and they want me back soon. So I'm stoked.

But right now I'm beat!! Being job free for two and a half months, then jumping right into a job with a commute, exxxxxxxxhausted. but yeah, thanx to jill, rachel, ryan, and zack for supporting me at the comedy show, and i'm done typing!

LATER.

New job!

If you're not drinking on a Saturday night, then you're probably not 21.

As for me, I've been drinking, for the first time in a while actually. gotta prep for St. Patty's day i suppose.

Anywhooo, keep triggin'.
