Great interview question: “What do you own?…”

Most of you couldn’t make it to see my first stand-up set in person. Some of you asked to hear it anyway. Here it is.
Posting this could be the most egotistical thing I’ve ever done…but it’s also a moment of ‘personal history’. I’ve loved comedy since I was a little, skinny, idiot of a kid. Now as a skinny idiot of an adult, I finally considered it as something that I could possibly pull off (or at least I wanted to try). I took a quick course at Curious Comedy Theater with Gabe Dinger, a local favorite of mine. Six weeks later, there I was onstage…giving people a moment of my own ‘personal history’. At this point, I’m planning on continuing down the stand-up path (hence the cocky ‘part 1’ in the title of this episode). Let’s see where this goes–strange times are ahead for sure…I can’t wait!
P.S. I’m sorry the sound quality is not the best (pretty good for an iPod™ audio recording device onstage, though).

(10.24.2012)
I’ve seen my Dad once since I was in 5th grade. Somehow, his daughter (that I’ve never met) found me. He’s been living in Arizona.
I just said goodbye to him…over the phone. He couldn’t even respond. He was so drugged-up, I don’t even know if he heard any of it, including me saying, “I love you, Dad”. Apparently, it didn’t matter because at some point, the phone got cut off. For the second try, they put me on speakerphone for some fucking reason (why do I have to say goodbye to my father in front of a roomful of strangers?). I got interrupted at the end by his daughter saying, “They’re taking his breathing tube out now”. That time, I might have actually forgotten to say, “I love you, Dad”. By the way, this is all happening while I’m sitting in a diner called, of all things, My Father’s Place…
…Two hours later, I showed up for the first day at a new job. There was a car out front with Arizona plates, so it caught my eye. The plate # was 848-DAD…but other than that, I’m having a great day…
Make amends while you still can…
