2009 What a Year

Wow, 2009 came and went like a speeder driving in the left lane at 90mph, advancing in and out of the months and seasons like a cabbie changing lanes on the way to the airport! Last year was a blur. I think my recollection of ’09 was the equivalent of highway hypnosis, how the hell…

Happy 2010

Well, it’s a new year, a new decade, and a whole new chapter in your life. What changes do you have planned for 2010? Are you going to travel more, make more money or maybe work on your relationship to make it better? Yeah, that’s if you are lucky enough to be in a relationship.…

The Love of the Game

When I started my stand-up comedy career, I was working the clubs in Dallas and Fort Worth. I would also drive to Houston and Austin on a weekly basis for the amateur nights at their local comedy clubs. All this driving and writing bits, finally paid off. Terri Stoor asked me to join her stand-up…

Holiday Driving Distractions

‘Tis the season to be jolly and it’s also the season to be distracted. With all the Christmas lights that sparkle up the neighborhoods and carolers going from door to door like singing Jehovah’s witnesses, one could easily be the witness to a car crash with all these distractions. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m…

Lake Zen, Texas

The most incredible thing happened to me on the way home today. Earlier I was driving by White Rock Lake in Dallas. I was on a street that had a wooded area off to the side. As I pasted theses trees, this majestic scene opened up like a grand stage curtain that overlooked the lake…

Holiday Traffic Blues

Well, brace yourself the Christmas season is with us again! I don’t think I’m ready to drive all over town for last-minute shopping, dealing with traffic, going to Blockbuster on Christmas Eve buying DVDs or buying some cheap-ass gifts at Walgreens on my way to Grandma’s house. But you know granny never seems to get…

Happy Thanksgiving

It was the month of November in the year two thousand and seven, the setting, Green Bay, Wisconsin. 23 degrees outside at a tailgate parking lot, it is eight o’clock in the morning and I am drinking heavily! Drinking first thing in the morning is a whole other kind of drinking, that’s like “I have…

Thank God for the wingman

Ah, there are so many things to be thankful for in this beautiful month of November, leaves changing colors, football, turkey dinner, the cool crisp air of a fall night and all the friendly drivers I see every day on the freeways in Dallas. People closing the gap when someone has their signal on to…

Giving thanks for everything

The month of November always brings fond memories of holiday seasons past. It’s hard to forget the entertaining turkey dinners with my aunt and uncle who always fought like they were on the Jerry Springer Show or my gay cousin who incidentally lived in San Francisco, would always catch crap from his homophobic dad. But…
