What is Private?

Most of what's going on in my life is too private to blog about. You know what would be amazing, is if you could blog to yourself and nobody else gets to read it. Just you. I heard that something like that is coming out soon, after the release of the iPhone, and it's going to be called, "The Diary." It's crazy what they'll think of, isn't it?

I kept a diary as a girl and its contents are very explosive. They serve as inspiration that even a 12-year-old child who writes with the functional illiteracy and penmanship of a seven year old child, may one day grow up to write with the poise and expression of a 13-year-old child... as exhibited by me today in this blog.


I never did solve the mystery as to whether or not my Mother had "Iron Poor Blood," but she is fine and healthy today and may have simply been suffering from "Four Screaming Brats Syndrome" which generally runs its course.

Santa Barbara Comedy Nights

With the new and sweet stage configuration, Comedy Nights is the talk of State Street on Thursday nights in Santa Barbara. Folks are pouring in for great food and comedy at Bricks Cafe, 509 State St. Summer is a great time to check it out because (no offense intended to our raucously, inebriated collegieate friends) with the loud, drunk kids gone for the Summer, you can actually hear the comedians, rather than the trashed blonde at the bar screaming about how much she loves Apple Martinis and Golden Retrievers.

Here's our latest Video Highlights Reel starring Matthew Tate, Alfonso Ochoa, Brian Swinehart, Andy Kozel, Me, Laura Hayden and Adam Richmond...


Weezy & The Swish - with Brett

Brett Gilbert has become the Semi-Regular-Permanant-Guest-Co-Host of Weezy & The Swish. This week we celebrated, Nerds, Dorks and Geeks, our theory being that all truly cool people are confidently proud of their inner or outer Nerd, Dork, Geek, or all of the above... what we are calling "The Nerk." As we scan history, we must note that those who have given the most to the world were/are Nerks. Men and women such as Bill Gates, Stephen Spielberg, Albert Einstein, and of course, Urkle.

So celebrate the Nerk in you with this video blog featuring: Jackie Kashian, Joe Wilson, Lauri Roggenkamp, Kevin Campbell and Brett Gilbert...

Journals

I have a confession. I vainly Vanity Pressed my own book, Journals. There are a few reasons why I did this. 1) It was a birthday gift from my Mother 2) It contains the writings of my Father with excerpts from a journal he kept while fighting in World War II and 3) It's a good book and I want to share it. My goal is that even more people read the book than read this blog. So I'll need at least seven.

A week ago, I received this information from the fine people at Book Surge, my Vanity Publisher...
