March 30 2009 - Get Out of My Facebook

Why the Facebook? Don't you people have shit to do? First it was Myspace. "Why don't you have a Myspace? You gotta get a Myspace. I've gotten gigs because of Myspace." Or "You're not on Myspace????!!!!" And then they would back away like I'm contagious for NOT having something. Now Myspace is passe'. Now you can insert the word "Facebook" into the previous conversation, and in another 492 days, it will be another social site. I'm holding out until Facebook gets passed, too. By the time all is said and done people will have 23 different profiles on 23 different social networking sites. But they will only use the most recent one.

No, I'm not on Facebook. Not on Myspace. I don't "Tweet". I'm on Google, damnit. I'm on the whole farking internet. Not facebook.com/johndeboer. Not Myspace.com/johndeboer. Just plain, old fashioned, run-of-the-mill, sooooo 2003, www.johndeboer.com. This video says it all. Now, I have to go check my Myspace, Facebook, and Twitter.

February 7 2009- Tell You a Joke?

Why do people go out to a comedy show and think they can sit in front and yell out whatever is on their mind. I did a show last night and was all of 10 seconds into my show when a woman up front started blurting out verbal snot. She had bee yappin during the emcee and feature and I was not about to put up with it for the next hour. I told her "When you think of something you might want to say, just text yourself." I explained to her the standard "these people payed money to see a show. If they were paying to see you we would be in a mobile home converted into a tittie bar. But they coma to see a comedy show, so you need to not talk." She said, "I won't have to if you tell me a joke."

"I am trying to tell you a joke, but I can't do it until you shut your mouth!"

And then her friend piped in and I made the decision to end their evening. I took a 5 minute break and did a shot while they were escorted out. On the way out, one of the women poured her drink on the back of my sweater. You can take the white trash out of the trailer park, but you can't take the park outta the trash.

Clubs can be hesitant to kick someone out. If it gets to the point where they are that big of a pain in the ass, you didn't want their business anyways.

August 18 2008 - Hurricane Coming

I don't even know what the name is. We are taking all of the precautions, like, um... waiting until the last moment and then looting the neighbor's house. I just got back from Lincoln Nebraska where I was doing a show for a lumber company, at the lumberyard. The place was great. I think they should turn it into a comedy club. It could hold about 500 people. They could sell wood during the day and booze at night. i almost had the owner talked into it. The Lumberyard Comedy Club. I think it would be crazy enough to work.

July 18 2009 2:53:13 AM - The New Website

I am working on my website so I don't get any shit about it from Tom Barnard in the morning. I have to get up in about 3 hours and I haven't slept yet. The last two times I have been the show he has given me shit because my website sucked Packer sweat. And he was right. I haven't updated my website since John McCain could throw a shotput. So, seeing as how Tom and his KQ family (I love you Terry) put on the best morning show all the way from one of Paris Hilton's pinky toes to the other one (That is a loooong ways), I figured I should listen.

So I stayed up most of the night doing a complete redesign. Not all of the pages are active yet but the main look and feel are better than the last one. Building web pages is a bitch when you are learning on the job and screwing it up as you go. Then again so is being the President. But I think I have had better results. I hope my website sucks less than the last one.
