Since I've been going back to the open-mic circuit in New York City my family and friends have had a lot of questions about what it's like, as if they're harboring some long-forgotten fantasy and would like to live is vicariously through me.
I've noticed a few myths that seem to perpetuate the minds of most of my friends when it comes to stand up comedy, and I'd like to bust that fucking bubble before someone asks me this shit again.
Nobody cares

And so began your foray into the world of early interactive television, thanks to the people who ran Staten Island's Community Television.
In an e-mail sent out to affiliates, Comcast says that the use of the word "unlimited' is verboten!
Curious if this has anything to do with their traffic shaping, or if they have plans to introduce bandwidth caps.
The e-mail is reproduced below. I've edited out the contact information so I'm not castrated by my affiliate manager.

Dear Valued Comcast Affiliate:
So, my PayPal debit card has been declined everywhere since March 20th. At first, I thought I had drained the account, but upon checking the account out, it turns out I had more than enough money for the small transaction I wanted to do. I figured it was the store not accepting the PayPal Mastercard - after all, it wouldn't be the first store to decline such a payment because of PayPal's lack of credibility.
I had a weird dream last night. A decapitated moose head kept telling me to clean my left ear while I was talking into a hole in a solid brick wall.
I don't know what it means, but when I went to clean my ears this morning I found out I don't have any cotton swabs.
I'm OK! :D
I'm sorry for the panic I caused earlier. I just needed to get some shit off my chest, out of my head. I didn't realize how negative I came off.
Yeah, things are fucked up, but they'll get better. I love you guys.
Now please stop leaving me voicemails. I'm running out of space.
Short answer: no.
Long answer: no, and go fuck yourself you overreaching judicial shit stain.
There have been a ton of anti-police stories running around the Internet as of late, and most of the comments are anti-authority and anti-police. Some people generally attribute this attitude towards to younger group of people (teenagers) who are generally anti-authority; however, I think this is a false premise, because as a man of 25, I have always had a problem with any type of authority.
But, I do think some of the opinions are a bit unfair, and are generally formed around a small set of bad experiences combined with bad media exposure.
