(quick note : I wasn’t going to write this rant, but a friend of mine threatened to beat me to it when I made a much shorter version of this rant on Facebook[1])

It seems TEH INTARWEBZ are all a flutter (can’t say all atwitter anymore, thx you guys) about concept art and imagery released to build up the hype machine surround Tim Burton’s “re-imagining” of Alice in Wonderland. While many are excited, I feel an equal mix of worry, anger, disappointment and confusion.

Why confusion? Well, it seems to me that many of you have forgotten how many times Tim Burton has smeared fecal matter on celluloid and you’re ready for him to fuck you in eye sockets yet …

Ever been curious what kind of ridiculous shit I have in my apartment? For some reason, quite a few people have asked me about that in recent times, so.. I made this video. It could be incredibly boring, but maybe not. You be the judge.

“I still got it. I can still do this.” That’s what I told myself as I walked off-stage last night. It was an incredible feeling. I didn’t feel so hot about the gig prior to that, which I chalked up to all the shit I had on my mind, weighing me down. I hoped that was what held me back.

It’s a funny thing, my fickle ego. After a great set, I feel refreshed and on top of it all. After a bad set, I feel like I don’t belong on stage. Like maybe I’m just funny enough for people to not completely hate my act, but…. certainly not funny enough to justify carrying on. I never wanted to be one …

Today, I came across a short advice column in a “family-friendly online news source” where the term “blowjob” was replaced with “making a grilled cheese sandwich”. From the article :

I am a 30 Year old male. I have been dating a wonderful woman for 2.5 years. I would describe everything about her as perfect except for one thing. She absolutely refuses to [make me a grilled cheese sandwich.] Now I want to ask her to marry me, but the thought of going the rest of my life without receiving [grilled cheese sandwiches] is definitely a worry.

Now, thankfully, the advice columnist probes as to why the potential wife wouldn’t want to do it, and whether or not he’s …

Oh life. You have some funny ways about you. After what was probably the most difficult, painful, educational, trying year of my life.. it all makes sense now. I was a fool to deviate from my path. I thought I could. I wanted to see what it was like over there, on the other side of the fence. But, hell, I could only fake it for so long before it all started coming apart and I scrambled to keep the pieces together. They just don’t fit, though, do they? No amount of hammer, nails, even crazy glue could fix that.

Three years ago, I found a badass little spot in Hollywood. Cheap rent. Right off the Hollywood strip. Stumbling (quite literally, …

As these things go, my life is about to change pretty drastically. I’m Single. Moving out to live on my own (for the first time in my life). Doing full-time freelance design work. Getting my comedy life worked out to perform as often as I can manage. Reconnecting with the Mitcz I’ve ignored for too long, for reasons I still smack myself for justifying.

I “tweet” a pretty fair amount these days. It’s nice to have a place to just post a random sentence, so if you’re into that sorta thing you can find me @twitter.com/revmitcz.

There’s a funny thing about trying to get out one’s woes, annoyances, stresses and aggressions on a stage when doing comedy. While I used to …

I’m not about to say mothers have it easy, so don’t jump on that nut-hugger just yet. But it’s interesting to me that there’s at least two causes mothers have rallied together to fight, and formed organizations that fathers wouldn’t really be able to.

Mothers Against Drunk Driving or MADD. They can use catchy slogans like “It’s time to get MADD!”. Hell yeah. Get mad about drunk driving. That’s catchy, and poignant.

But if fathers got in on the action? It would be FADD. And, sure, it rings true. Mostly it’s dumb young douchebags who can’t hold their liquor properly that run about the town drinking and driving — thereby being a fad — but you can’t actually say that!.

Mothers Against Guns …

Did you happen to catch TNT’s Leverage (episode “The Stork Job”)? Did you see a familiar face, wandering around all thug-like?

Well, if you missed it, I have good news. I’ve put up a video compilation of my appearances in that episode. Click here to check it out.

In less than 7 hours, I’ll finally have made it through 2008. Some of you reading this may already be living in 2009 (is the future so bright, you need to wear shades?).

Seems a lot of people I know had a shitty 2008. Frankly, can’t even think of many people who’ve said otherwise. But, that’s behind us now, right? Yes. Yes it is.

In the spirit of feeling good, here’s what we (at least we in the U.S.) can look forward to in 2009 :

- No more George Bush!
- No more Dick Cheney!
- A Democrat in the White House! And one that actually makes people feel… HOPE
- Lower gas prices
- An economy on the upturn

Personally, I’ve got …

I’ll do a real Year In Review for myself in a few weeks. But, this was one of those quiz memes I thought I’d fill out for kicks. So, here we go.

Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
I really don’t remember what my New Year’s resolutions were, if any. Next year, I’m really not sure if I will or not.

Did anyone close to you give birth?
I gave birth to a few website redesigns. But, no, this was a baby-free year for me and everyone I know.
