We are due for an update.

As you know from the last post, we finished filming in Houston. It was a lot of fun and a wonderful experience.

Quick highlight: It was me, the director/camera guy, and a giant blue screen. The scene was set in an extravagant church that doesn’t actually exist, and I was speaking to four other people who weren’t actually there. Quite the acting experience. Ahhh the magic of movies.

After the filming was complete, I was home for a week then off to Milwaukee, Wisconsin for the Comedy League 2009 ComedySportz World Championship. It was so much fun. My ComedySportz family grew tenfold. I have nothin’ but love for those folk and I want to marry every single one. I’ll marry the married ones too…yeah it’s a strange family.

The CSz Family

The Matt Picture. There were a lot of Matts at tournament so we took a picture together. I was honored to be included among the Matts.

Wade, the captain of San Antonio ComedySportz, and Me on the CSz Milwaukee stage. Fun Fact: Milwaukee is the birthplace of ComedySportz. Wasn't that fun?

YOU: What is this Comedythingy?
ME: Well, it’s ComedySportz. And I’m glad you asked. Have you seen Whose Line Is It Anyway?
YOU: Yeah, that show with that Jim Cary guy, and Ryan, and Colin? And OMG! I LOVE Wayne Brady!
ME: Well, it’s actually Drew Cary. And I love Mr. Brady too. But anywho, ComedySportz is like Whose Line only there are two teams of improvisers battling for points awarded to them by the audience. Instead of Drew Cary, in ComedySportz, we have a ref collecting suggestions and a person in the sound box keeping track of points. Get it?
YOU: Hum I wish you had a website or something where I could learn more…
ME: Ah, how fortunate for you. Here’s our website:

www.comedysportz.com

We have teams in many major cities in the United States, and in Manchester, England, and, hopefully two new teams will be starting up in Berlin, Germany and Islamabad, Pakistan!

If you have read this far down in this blog, thank you and congratulations! You made it through my shameless ComedySportz plug. Find us on the web at www.comedysportz.com. Now you’ve made it through two shameless plugs! You’re on a roll today!

I got back from Milwaukee about one week ago. And I never thought I’d say this, but I miss Milwaukee, and I’m pretty sure there are about 200 other ComedySportz people around the globe that feel the same way. It’s a proud day for Milwaukee and Milwaukeeians everywhere, especially those residing in Milwaukee.

Now, it’s time for the great job searching adventure. My priority is acting. I need a job that is flexible so that I can go on auditions. I need a job that is part time so that I have time to market myself to obtain auditions. I need a job that pays money so that I can afford to drive to auditions. And finally, I need a job that I can stand so that I wont poke my eyeballs out. Flexibility? check. Part time? check. Money? check. Eyeballs? double check.

I’ve got a few feelers out there prodding certain contacts, not contact lenses aka eyeball covers, but actual people that might be able to give me a job. (And please note that I am speaking metaphorically and do not have actual feelers growing out of my abdomen prodding these contacts/actual people or their eyeballs).

Point being, I’m looking for a job, and I’ll keep you updated on this great adventure.

Now, for the Reflections of Greatness: People I’ve influenced section, yet this time I have decided to add a twist.

Anti-reflections of the polar opposite of Greatness: People who are in a completely separate gene pool than me. These people make me emote in an angered fashion.

First is the small group of people who still wear and/or fly the confederate flag. The Onion news has the perfect bit on this symbol that sums up my views. I’m sorry Georgia.

Second thing, those who drink and drive. I become very angry, and am often incensed to violence, when a person tells their best “crazy drinking” story and it involves driving.

ME: Are you stupid!?
YOU: No…
DRUNK DRIVER PERSON: Yes.

End of story.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I have my fair share of “crazy drunk times”, but none, I repeat, none involve driving. It’s stupid, irresponsible, and selfish. It kills people, and it kills puppies. So don’t be stupid and tell me you got wasted then drove halfway across town. That is, unless you want your eyeball punched in by a short white girl. Then brag away you soon-to-be eyeless wonder of creation.

YOU: What’s with all the poking of the eyeballs Madi?
ME: Humm, yes there is a lot of eyeball poking going on in this blog. I apologize for that. No more poking of the eyeballs.

Third thing that ticks me off, ranting in blog posts. Come on people, nobody wants to read your rant. How can you be so narcissistic to think that someone actually cares enough to spend time reading your pretentious rant? Jeez loueez!

Only kidding. I love rants. Rant away, rant like people care, rant like you’ve never ranted before. Event the word “rant” is cool. R-A-N-T. It’s like the word “man” only with an r and a t, and no m. Or like pants. Only with an r and no s. It’s also pretty close to madi only with an r, n, t, and no m, d, or i.

You can also spell rat or ant or an with it.

And “rant” has your initials if you name is Randy Allen, or Randy Allen Nugget, or Randy Allen Nugget Toadly. Of course if that’s your name…well, I feel sorry for your children.

THE TOADLY CHILDREN: Hey!
ME: Sorry kiddos.
RANDY ALLEN NUGGET TOADLY (R.A.N.T.): It’s okay, we’re working on getting past our name. Aren’t we kids?
THE TOADLY CHILDREN: Yes, Pappa Toadly.
ME: Wow, congratulations.
R.A.N.T.: What’s that supposed to mean?
ME: I’m just saying, it’s quite a name to overcome.
R.A.N.T.: How so?
ME: Well Toad…
R.A.N.T.: Yes?
ME: Toads are gross.
R.A.N.T.: No, they are not. Toads are beautiful creatures.
ME: Are you kidding me, toads are the enlarged, wart-ridden version of frogs, They are completely void of any froggy cuteness, not to mention a frog’s “cuteness” is debatable in the first place.
THE TOADLY CHILDREN: Hey! Wahhhhhaaaaaaa!
R.A.N.T.: Kids, say it with me. We are not Toads. We are The Toadlys. We are not Toads. We are The Toadlys.
THE TOADLY CHILDREN and R.A.N.T.: We are not Toads. We are The Toadlys. We are not Toads. We are The Toadlys.
ME: High school’s gonna be a barrel of laughs…

In fact, when you start ranting, you sometimes realize that there are people that have it a lot worse off than you, especially those named Toadly. But I still don’t like drunk drivers.

Well that tangent made a lot of sense.

And this post is way too long enough. I think twitter wants to arrest me.

that is all.
