wow it's been a long time no blog

I started this blog in 2005, and I used to blog in it regularly. A lot of things have happened since then, I may never catch up, but I can start from where I am. I was watching a vlog, or a video blog by Comedian Orny Adams. I wanted to post a comment, I couldn't do so without logging in. So here I am logged in, and I realize, I haven't blogged since Sept of last year. It's right around the one year Anniversary, of me doing stand-up. I remember walking into a used cd store in Saratoga, oh in say 2005. Orny was in the movie Jerry Seinfeld:Comedian, which I bought for like 3 bucks. It was right in line , in a synchronistic way. I was in the process of crafting an act, and this movie was about Jerry Seinfeld crafting an act. Orny was in it, to kinda parallel Jerry. I watched it numerous times. I even searched for Orny and found him on myspace. We've even exchanged messages, and he kinda liked something I wrote and encouraged me to keep writing. We're a month a part in age, and I enjoy his work, because I feel like I'm looking at me.
So I sit here eating pretzels, which isn't much of a meal. I am happy to not have to work in the early AM. You see, in all of my fear of not ever catching up on my bills, I took a second job. I was getting up at 3am and going into Menands to pick up newspapers, to be delivered. It got to bee too stressful, because I wasn't making the deadlines, and it made me late for work. I kept thinking, "Great, I have a second job that is going to kill the better paying job." I called in sick last night, and was told I was being let go. I was kinda sad, but kinda relieved. I certainly felt more awake today. I'm still tired though. I had planned to do laundry, but I just don't have the motivation. I will sleep soon.
