I know it’s been awhile and for that I”m sorry. I know how much everyone depends on me to brighten their day. Well I’m back! Kind of. This is just a quick entry to let you know that I’m alive.

I’m alive.

There ya go. What more does one really need?

I’ll delve into the following later…

* I had my 22nd surgery this last Friday and during the procedure was graced with the presence of a cute medical student, who got to watch me get carved up as I was sprawled out, face down and naked on an operating table. Classy.

* Performed standup for the first time in months, did great, thought it might be a viable career choice then went back to work only to have my soul crushed by ‘the man’.

* I am having to currently fight with a group of people who are supposed to help me because they are too incompetent to do much of anything! “Unions Work!” No they don’t.

* I moved into a house with my current roommate and another guy. My current roommate lives to watch TV and that’s it. My new roommate, who I’ve known for ten years, is driven and motivated to make the most of life and rarely watches TV. The wackiness is about to ensue at Joel Manor!

That’s about all I’ve got for now. I’m off to work a job I loathe, to save money so I’ll be able to quit that job and move to CA where I will pursue a career in comedy and writing.

Today will be a great day. Also, happy Halloween, you godless, Satan worshiping, heathens. Sorry. I was raised in a super Christian home and never celebrated Halloween growing up. It’s the devil’s birthday, right?
