2007 Resolutions

2006-12-27T15:44:00.000-08:00

Christmas is over. 2007 will be here in a week. I've made some resolutions; physical, emotional and spiritual. Physically; I will get into the best shape of my life. This past year was crazy and I slacked off when it came to working out. I know that working out will make me feel better over all. Emotionally and mentally; I will never again allow another person to rob me of my self worth and dignity. I will continue to believe in love, but I will go into it with my eyes WIDE open. People make mistakes, so I will forgive and in return, hopefully be forgiven. I will hold on to the good memories and let go of the painful ones. I will strive to be the best man and dad I can be.
2006 was filled with painful changes, but I needed the changes, I see that now. Time to move forward and live again, and I will LIVE again. I spent 2006 sitting and existing, not LIVING. I guess I didn't have the strength to get up, but I do now. Its good to feel good again.

FEELS LIKE TODAY
I woke up this morning, With this feeling inside me that I can't explain.
Like a weight that I've carried's been carried away, But I know something is coming.
I don't know what it is but I know it's amazing, to save me, my time is coming
And I'll find my way out, of this longest route.

Yes, it feels like today, I know. It feels like today, I'm sure.
It's the one thing that's missing, the one thing I'm wishing, life's sacred blessing.
It feels like today.

You treat life like a picture, But it's not a moment that's frozen in time.
It's not gonna wait till you make up your mind, so while this storm is breaking,
While there's light at the end of the tunnel, keep running towards it,
Releasing the pressure, that makes heart aches: Soon this dam will break.

Yes, it feels like today, I know. It feels like today, I'm sure.
It's the one thing that's missing, the one thing you're wishing,
Life's sacred blessing, It feels like today.
Feels like today.

Christmas

2006-12-24T19:20:00.000-08:00

Just finished Christmas eve with my family. My kids left and will be with their mom tomorrow, so I get to spend Christmas with my TV and Mt. Bike ! I wish December 26th would hurry up and get here !! ("The glass is half full, not half empty".....I keep telling myself that anyway) I'd rather be snowboarding in Colorado.......maybe next year! I hope everyone out there reading this has a great Christmas! I know 2007 is going to be GREAT !!!

My Future...

2006-12-19T09:36:00.000-08:00

Things are looking up. The past is just that.....the past. I know that my future looks bright, and I am worth it. Life can suck at times, but it does pass. There is a time to hurt, and even feel sorry for yourself, but there is also a time to stand up, shake it off and move on.
I refuse to be held down by my past pain. I can't control what others do to me, but I can control how I let it affect me. 2007 is going to be a good year. I have made a lot of resolutions for the new year. One of my resolutins is to surround myself with people with character and integrity.....people who make me want to be a better man.

NY

2006-12-18T23:12:00.000-08:00

So far I've had a great week in Rochester, NY. No snow here !! I still haven't done any Christmas shopping, because I'm a man. I'm looking forward to being with my family next week and then heading to Florida for a couple of weeks. I'm in Tampa for New years eve, then Jacksonville Beach for the first week of January. I'm not sure which I love more, the mountains or the beach. Today is the first day of the rest of my life, and today is going to be a good one. Hope everyone out there has a good holiday season.

Im Done....

2006-12-18T23:09:00.000-08:00

Saturday, December 16, 2006

Thank God 2006 is coming to an end !!!! 2006 has been the worst year of my life so far. Or maybe the best....(only time will tell) I do know its been the hardest I've ever been thru. I experienced..a lot..of personal loss this year. One of the losses was a relationship. Its been tough to trust again and I guess I'm still not there. Since I've been "back out there" or "on the Market again" I have met a lot of different types. I've met a few really cool girls, but my head and heart wasn't ready for anything at the time. As I've started to come out of this fog, I've met some crazy ones too, and it seems the prettier they are, the crazier they are. I've met..more than one that is in love with her own reflection. I went out with one who swore that she would never be caught dead wearing tennis shoes with jeans, and never would own a pair of flip flops !!! She only made me realize that I truly love a girl who wears little to no make-up, flip flops,..and torn jeans !!! (now that is sexy) If you have to try that hard, you should give up! (am I the only one who thinks that?) I guess what I'm trying to say is.....I"M DONE. I don't want to play the "game" of finding someone special anymore. Maybe thats the key....stop looking and she will bump into me at the mall food court. (HA). Besides whenever..I seem to..meet someone special, they usually live to far away !!!! Life of an entertainer can really suck at times.....OK I'll stop bitching now!

No Words From You.....(LONGMONT)

2006-12-18T23:02:00.000-08:00

Saturday, December 02, 2006

(The silence that can drive you crazy, but at the same time,..its the one..thing that is needed to start living again. No pain, no gain! 93% of what we worry about never happens.....and of the 7% that does...we can't do anything about 4% of it)

LONGMONT
Who are you now? Are you still the same or did you change somehow?
What do you do, at this very moment When I think of you?
And when I'm looking back on how we were young and stupid
Do you remember that ?

No matter how I fight it, can't deny it, I just can't let you go
I still care about you, even though everything's been said and done
I still feel you like I'm right beside you
......But still no word from you

Instead of moving on, it seems I refuse to see,
I keep coming back. Guess I'm stuck in a moment
That wasn't meant to last

I've tried to fight it, can't deny it
You don't even know that I still care about you,
even though everything's been said and done
I still feel you, like I'm right beside you
But still no word from you.
I wish I could find you just like you found me.

...But still no word from you

OKC BLIZZARD !!!

2006-12-18T23:01:00.000-08:00

Friday, December 01, 2006
I'm snowed in, here in OKC, Oklahoma. This is the second night the club cancelled the show due to bad weather. So now I'm feeling sorry for myself as I sit and eat eggs and blog in a iHop restaurant (well wouldn't you feel sorry for yourself too!!!)
I'll be in Atlanta next week. (Punchline Comedy Club) Looking to forward to hanging out with friends and looking for a new place to live (I may be moving to the ATL)
My days are much better, my head is clear, and the pain from past events has faded away. Now I just have memories. Its funny how hurt and anger can prevent you from remembering the good times we have shared with others. Its good to have memories that make me smile.

....spilled "BEANS"

2006-11-24T12:45:00.000-08:00

..spilled "BEANS"
Current mood: hopeful

..There is no use in crying over spilled milk.. (or spilled "Beans")...Yea, well...its easier said than done.. !!!
Have you ever been lied to and betrayed by someone you loved with all your heart ? (It sux) in fact its the worse feeling in the world. Sometimes people change, and end up doing things you didn't think they were capeable of.(And that REALLY sux!) Abandonment and rejection can be devestating. Thru it all I learned that there are just some things in life you can't control....actually, the only thing I CAN control, is how I allow the behavior/actions of others affect me. I spent a long time being hurt and trying to "fix" everything. I let it drive me crazy... to the point where I started to become someone I didn't like. There comes a point where enough is enough. Some people believe that it takes great strength to hold on.....but in reality, it takes so much more strength to let go. I finally realized that no matter how much I've been hurt, I will only continue to hurt myself if I hold on to any hate and anger. I will not be able to love again if I hold on to the past....You can't move on with the future if the painful past is still present. Time heals all wounds, but it can't if you hold on to the negative emotions. I finally chose to forgive her, and forgiveness has allowed me to see her in a different light. Forgiveness does not excuse the other person....but it does free YOU to become a better person. It has allowed me to walk away with no ill feelings in my heart. I believe that if you really loved someone, you may not want them in your life anymore, but you will always care about them.

MY WISH
I hope the days come easy and moments pass slow,
and each road leads you where you want to go,
and if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walking till you find the window,
if it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,

But more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
and while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
This is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but you never forget,
all the ones who love you, and the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
and you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
and always give more than you take.

But More than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
your dreams stay big, your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
and while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
This is my wish.

Can it get any worse? ...!!!!

2006-11-22T19:56:00.000-08:00

Its the night before Thanksgiving and I am stranded on the road. Last year I was with someone I loved eating turkey...this year, it will be at Denny's and a Holiday Inn.......I'll start from the beginning.... My car died today on the way to a gig in NC (blown head gasket) As I was attempting to rent a car, I was told my license was expired, and you can't rent a car if you have an expired license !!! So now I find myself in a hotel room blogging and feeling sad and stupid !! I'll get home...just not in time to be with my family.
I'll hang here and think about last year, and hope for a better next year !!!
-SK

Let go....

2006-11-08T21:33:00.000-08:00

They say that holding on and hanging in there are signs of true strength; but I think that it takes so much more strength to just let go.......its time

LIVE

2006-10-30T10:08:00.000-08:00

I was in Jacksonville, FL in August. A friend of mine came to see me and brought a date with her, a 28 year old guy. He was a really nice guy with a great sense of humor. She called me yesterday and told me that he was in a freak accident and died this past Sat. It really sucked to get that call. Another friend of mine, in his late 30's, just found out that he is sick and could die. Life isn't always fair OR fun, so live it as though its your last day. Give love, and laugh a lot. Forgive others and make ammends if you need forgiveness. (Even though mean people suck....lol) Set goals and work toward them, but don't forget to smell the roses along the path.
LIVE don't merely exist.....we don't know how long we have here on earth

Inventory

2006-10-23T15:53:00.000-07:00

Wow....Just when I thought it was over, I get hit with something completely different.....from behind ! I've always heard that life is too short......well I believe that it really is. I find myself asking a lot of inventory questions....... Give or take, love or hate, forgive or vengance, live or exist, hug or push, cry or scream, open or closed, transparent or shady, peaceful or angry, unconditional or conditional, daddy or just a father, truth or lies, job well done or regrets .. When its all over, what will I leave behind ? What will they say about me ?.......... (The pain of discipline is temporary, but regret is forever)

Circumstances

2006-10-16T16:59:00.000-07:00

Just finished a busy week Mon-Wed I was in Jax Beach, FL visiting friends and meeting with some people for the upcoming movie shoot. Thu-Sun I was in Macon, GA. I performed at the Whiskey River Comedy Club. What a beautiful room....one of the best in the nation.....YES !!!....IN GEORGIA !! Now I'm just recovering for a few days before heading to Tampa. I'm excited about the movie project, I'll keep everyone updated.
Its good to be in the sun again, after a long time in a funk, I'm getting my color back !!! I'm focused on the important things in life. I'm taking care of myself so I can be the best person, father, son. friend and comedian/actor I can be (in that order). Life is too short to let it hold you down, it can, and will get you down, just don't let it hold you down. "Circumstances do not make a person...they merely reveal what a person is made of.".....someone told me that once, and its true. If we don't like what the circumstances reveal in us......THEN CHANGE !!!! I know I had to make some painful changes.
-SK

STEROTYPE

2006-10-13T17:20:00.000-07:00

A sterotype exist because its usually true. But most people forget that the word usually does not mean ALWAYS !!!! Remember that the next time you judge a person according to what a sterotype says about them. If I think someone is an ass, its not because of a sterotype....Its because I have taken the time to get to know them, and they have displayed the behavior of an ass. Remember, some white people CAN dance. Not ALL entertainers are dogs, and not ALL lawyers are unethical......lol
-SK

Breath....

2006-10-12T12:49:00.001-07:00

Sometimes life deals us things that make us feel like we are going to die, but in reality it only makes us stronger. I've been thru times like these. Many of you out there know what I have been thru. During these times, I found that the only thing I could do is tell myself to breath, and put one foot in front of the other. I knew the storm could not, and would not last forever. When the storm ended I had to take inventory of my life and make changes to avoid the same storm. I will go thru storms again, but I will be stronger when I do. So if you are out there going thru hell.....remember.....Breath.

Nothing but an empty page
breathing in an open space
and captured by your moments gaze again
and there's so much I left behind
and even more that waits in time, everything's so undefined
I'm standing on the edge of my fear, and I see it clear

Here's my resolution
I'm letting go
all I need to learn is along this road
and I just want to be the best man I can be
Breath....it's my resolution

Living life without a plan
and finding solace where I stand
Learning how to love again
And all I want is something real, that I can feel

Here's my resolution
I'm letting go
and all I need to learn is along this road
and I just want to be the best man i can be
Breath.... it's my resolution

Springfield Funny bone

2006-10-08T16:04:00.000-07:00

Just finished up a great weekend in Springfield, IL (Funny bone Comedy Club)
I always have a blast there.... Don Jr. (Bid "D") runs a great club. The staff is always cool and Springfield always has great crowds. I'm feeling a little run down today, but am headed to the beach tomorrow (Jax beach).
.....remember, life may suck at times, but you gotta keep living. Breath and just keep going. (deep thought of the day)

Can't sleep !!!

2006-10-04T19:10:00.000-07:00

I can't sleep...nothing unusual !! I had a great week in Milwaukee, and am headed to the Funnybone in Springfield, IL this weekend. I've had a few days off with my son, its been good. I head to FL and GA next week, I'm looking forward to hitting the beach. Life is better these days. Time heals all wounds.....there is always a calm after the storm.

Resolution.....I can't hate you anymore......

2006-10-03T00:29:00.000-07:00

(I've finally come to a good place in my life, a place of resolution. Confusion may still exist,
but the hate and anger is gone. Its good to be here, its somewhere I'd like to stay.)

...I chased away the shadows of your name
And burned the picture in the frame
but it couldn't save me
how could you quit something we never even tried ?
you still can't tell me why

We built it up to watch it fall
Like we meant nothing to you at all
I gave and gave the best of me
but couldn't give you what you need
You walked away; you stole my life
Just to find what you are looking for
but no matter how I try
I can't hate you anymore

Sometimes you hold so tight
it slips right through your hands
Will I ever understand ?

I can't hate you anymore
I don't hate you anymore

First Day

2006-10-01T11:33:00.000-07:00

Its cool when you have new people come into your life that remind you that there is always hope. Life can suck sometimes....but it can also be great. Today is the first day of the rest of my life. Dawn is the best part of the day !!!

Feels Like Today

2006-09-25T16:41:00.000-07:00

I woke up this morning,
With this feeling inside me that I can't explain.
Like a weight that I've carried's been carried away, away.
But I know something is coming.
I don't know what it is but I know it's amazing,
To save me, my time is coming
And I'll find my way out,
Of this longest route.

Yes, it feels like today, I know.
It feels like today, I'm sure.
It's the one thing that's missin',
The one thing I'm wishin',
Life's sacred blessin'.
It feels like today.

You treat life like a picture,
But it's not a moment that's frozen in time.
It's not gonna wait till you make up your mind, at all.
So while this storm is breakin',
While there's light at the end of the tunnel,
Keep running towards it,
Releasing the pressure, that makes heart aches:
Soon this dam will break.

Feels like today.....

Baton Rouge Funnybone

2006-09-25T13:04:00.000-07:00

I had a blast in Baton Rouge this past week....GO LSU ! I filmed all the shows and will be putting out the new Dvd soon. It was my birthday, and the staff was great as usual.....I consider all you guys friends, and I love it when I'm there. Life is much better these days, I've made new friends and it feels good to be excited about what is around the corner for me. I think I'll head to the beach soon for some R&R.

I had a revelation.....I'm allergic to Beans

2006-09-21T17:14:00.000-07:00

From the moment that we met
My world was turned around
Upside down
To some degree I still regret
My memory for keeping you around
I thought that you were mine
But my broken hearts been shattered
One too many times

I don’t want to see you anymore
I’m just not that strong
I love it when you’re here,
But I’m better when you’re gone
I’m certain that I’ve given and oh how you can take
There’s no use in you looking
There’s nothing left for you to break
Baby please release me and
Let my heart rest in pieces

TN Titans....

2006-09-13T21:48:00.000-07:00

What in the hell were the TN Titians (NFL) thinking when they signed Kerry Collins and Cut Matt Mauck ? They will regret this.....Matt is a better QB than Collins and Volek combined.
Vince Young will have to play before he is ready because Collins and Volek can't get it done. Hopefully another team will be smart enough to pick up Matt Mauck.
Matt is a great guy and will be successful no matter what. (Can you tell I'm a friend and a fan of Matt's)

Alone for the first time......

2006-09-12T20:59:00.000-07:00

I find myself living alone in my house....its cool because at least i get to have both my road and Mt. Bikes on stands in the living room, along with my framed "Kramer" (Seinfeld) painting on the wall......I've always wanted to do that !!!
I'm in a strange place in my life.....somewhere I've never been......ALONE. I'm alone, and its OK. I'm not seeing anyone serious, and not really looking either.....guess I'm waiting to be knocked off my feet. When I do, this time, I'll go into it with EYES WIDE OPEN. I've made a lot of changes in my life, and I don't mind being around myself anymore, so I guess I don't mind being alone.

Keith Urban said it best....

2006-09-07T23:32:00.000-07:00

I woke up early this morning around 4am
With the moon shining bright as headlights on the interstate
I pulled the covers over my head and tried to catch some sleep
But thoughts of us kept keeping me awake
Ever since you found yourself in someone else's arms
I've been tryin' my best to get along
But that's OK
There's nothing left to say, but

Take your records, take your freedom
Take your memories I don't need them
Take your space and take your reasons
But you'll think of me
And take your cat and leave my sweater
'Cause we have nothing left to weather
In fact I'll feel a whole lot better
But you'll think of me, you'll think of me

I went out driving trying to clear my head
I tried to sweep out all the ruins that my emotions left
I guess I'm feeling just a little tired of this
And all the baggage that seems to still exist
It seems the only blessing I have left to my name
Is not knowing what we could have been
What we should have been

Someday I'm gonna run across your mind
Don't worry, I'll be fine
I'm gonna be alright
While you're sleeping with your pride
Wishing I could hold you tight
I'll be over you
And on with my life

But you'll think of me...

Moving?

2006-09-05T11:33:00.000-07:00

A lot of you out there have emailed me and asked "where I'm moving to".... in reference to my last blog..... Thats not what the blog is about.....Its not about moving to or from a physical location. Its about making decisions and moving on with my life. We all have made poor decisions and mistakes in our lives, but there comes a point when you have to stop beating up on yourself and move on. I have done my best to make ammends and forgiven the people who have done me wrong. Now its time to start a new life and leave situations and certain people behind. Life may or may not bring them back into my life, but I can't worry about that anymore. I have decided to concentrate on my goals and the healthy relationships in my life. I can't change others..... only myself. Nobody can change anything by sitting on the sidelines and watching !!
-SK

Moving on....

2006-09-04T05:53:00.000-07:00

I've dealt with my ghosts and I've faced all my demons
Finally content with a past I regret
I've found you find strength in your moments of weakness
For once I'm at peace with myself
I've been burdened with blame, trapped in the past for too long
I'm moving on
I've lived in this place and I know all the faces
Each one is different but they're always the same
They mean me no harm but it's time that I face it
They'll never allow me to change
But I never dreamed home would end up where I don't belong
I'm moving on
At last I can see life has been patiently waiting for me
And I know there's no guarantees, but I'm not alone
There comes a time in everyone's life
When all you can see are the years passing by
And I have made up my mind that those days are gone
I'm moving on
I've loved like I should but lived like I shouldn't
I had to lose everything to find out
Maybe forgiveness will find me somewhere down this road
I'm moving on

Great Song Lyrics.....

2006-09-02T17:10:00.000-07:00

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don’t bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let 'em out
I’m not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I’m ok
But that’s not what gets me

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin’ to do

It’s hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I’m doin’ It
It’s hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I’m alone
Still Harder
Getting up, getting dressed, livin’ with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

"Sweet Revenge"..?????

2006-09-01T16:00:00.000-07:00

Hurt and anger can make you say and do really stupid things.... if you allow it. Whoever coined the phrase "sweet revenge" is stupid. Recently, I thought I got revenge in a situation, but in the end, I only felt worse. I was controlled by my anger and I became someone I didn't like at all. Its not fun, or right, to give back the hurt and pain that what was delt to you. Now, instead of forgiving.....I need forgiveness......and that sux. Today I learned something the hard way....revenge is NOT sweet at all., in fact, it left a bitter taste in my mouth and character. And now the only thing I have left to say is "I'm sorry".....(and I really am)

Had a great weekend in St Louis. I played Laughs on The Landing Comedy Club. Great owners and crowds. I look forward to going back. I stayed at the Embassy Suites right on the river near the Arch. I have some great memories associated with St Louis. My shows went well and I made some new friends. I'm headed to Columbia, MO this weekend, to DejaVu Comedy Club. Its a university town (MU).
A lot of you out there have emailed me asking how I have been on a personal level. I have been doing much better. I've recently made some new friends, and am getting ready to move. I'm selling my house so I can get half of the equity !!!

Allergies

2006-08-24T19:38:00.000-07:00

Doesn't it suck when you really love something but you are allergic to it....
Sometimes your body can build up a resistance and you will no longer be affected by it......BUT IT TAKES TIME. Then again, some things are never good for you !! (I know..... I don't what point I'm trying to make either) I guess time will tell...

KFC

2006-08-23T20:47:00.000-07:00

I haven't posted in a while.....a lot has happened. I enjoyed my days off. I have had some eye opening experiences with some people in my life lately. Forgiveness is something I am struggleing with right now. But I know that forgiving is better than walking around with hurt and anger.
I had great shows in Corbin, KY. (birthplace of KFC) The Depot is a great place, great staff and great friends. It was good to work with Big B again. (3ft4.com). I'll post more soon !!!

Go with you "Gut"

2006-08-09T12:10:00.000-07:00

I love flight delays !!!....just a quick note of advice to all......especially myself. Always go with your "gut feeling"....that feeling is there for a reason.The "gut feeling", if followed, can ususally help you aviod a lot of unnecessary crap ! If your gut tells you to turn right, then do it ! If it tells you something is going on, then it probably is ! If it tells you someone is telling you the truth, then they probably are....the opposite is also true!
Live and Learn! Live life with eyes wide open, and in the end.....forgive.

Jax Beach

Just spent 3 days in Jacksonville Beach, FL. The shows went great at the Atlantic Theater Comedy Club. Great crowds and great staff. Loved the beach, and the seafood !! Got a week off....looking forward to heading out west and doing some hiking with friends..... Colorado is such a beautiful place.

Charleston, WV / Getting over the hump

2006-07-30T01:44:00.000-07:00

I just finished 2 days in Charleston, West Virginia. The shows went great. Charleston is a cool city. I have some good/special memories associated with this town. It turns out that Charleston was a beginning and ending point for me personally.
Sometimes the one thing we think we can't live without, turns out to be the thing that is keeping us from living.
Everyone deserves peace, respect and happiness (whatever that is). If something is robbing you of that, then remove it from your life, or take a break and come up for air. Its not that complicated, so why do we make it complicated ?
LIVE... don't merely exist......I think I'll start doing that now.

Milwaukee

2006-07-25T23:08:00.000-07:00

Just got back from Milwaukee, what a cool place. I had a great time at Jokerz Comedy Club. Great room and great staff. I played volley ball for the first time in a few years (sorry for sucking Jokerz staff) Shout out to Scott, Craig and John, and thanks for almost getting my ass kicked John ....(ha) See you guys again in Dec or Jan. Oh yea.....you can kill cats in Wisconsin, its a law.

Bob & Sheri Show

2006-07-19T11:36:00.000-07:00

I was on the Bob & Sheri syndicated radio show this morning. They are great ! I updated their audience on whats been going on with my career and love life (or lack there of) It was a good time.They always have good solid advice. If you don't have their show in your market, you should !! I've already gotten tons of emails from their listeners, and maybe one or two of my fans. (I'm sure I have at least 2 !!) I appreciate every one of them. I'm about to drive thru Chicago on my way to Milwaukee. Today is a good day, tomorrow will be to.

Superman/Milwaukee

2006-07-17T17:48:00.000-07:00

I saw Superman Returns last night. It was OK, not what I expected though. The special effects were great, but the story was just OK. I'm headed to Milwaukee this week. I've never been there, I'm taking my road bike with me to take in the sights and burn some calories at the same time. I finally lost the weight (25lbs) I've been wanting to. The only good thing about depression, is that you can eat at McDonald's and still loose weight ! But now that I am out of my "funk" and my apetite is coming back, gotta get on the bike ! I still have my days, who doesn't, but at least its not every day anymore.
(did that make sense?)

Walk Away...

2006-07-16T14:48:00.000-07:00

I haven't shaved in 3 days .....wow, who knew I could grow a beard ? Not me ! I guess I finally finished purbity in my 30's. I have done nothing for the past 2 days, and it felt good. Now I have to get off my butt and do something. I'm selling my house and making plans to move. Gotta cut the grass !!
I hate conflict, especially when its with someone you really care about. Often no matter what you do, you can't resolve the conflict. Hurt and anger are very powerful emotions. Sometimes only time can heal, words do not help, at least thats what I'm finding out. Someone once told me that a wounded animal will bite you if you try to pick it up and care for it, and no matter how much love you have for the animal, there comes a point when you have to stop trying to pick it up. Sometimes with people, all we can do is walk away. I need a break from life !!!

On the Road-VA-Colorado

2006-07-11T18:03:00.000-07:00

Sunday, July 09, 2006

Im driving thru Maryland, VA, and TN today. Just stopped to eat and check my emails (Panera rocks!!). Earlier today I stopped in Washington DC and walked around near the White House. I saw a lot of security and Asians selling FBI shirts !!! Last time there I found a scarf (I wonder if she still has it). Its cool to take time out and see the sites. I hope to head to Colorado Springs soon, to hang out with friend and his family. Hoping to treck thru the mountains . I love Colorado, everyone should visit there. I've seen Boulder and Denver, but not Co Springs, Im looking forward to it...... I've got 400 more miles to drive
( I know....its insane)

Crazy in Virginia

2006-07-11T17:57:00.000-07:00

Saturday, July 08, 2006

Played a show in Lynchburg, VA on Thu (Home of the non-judgemental Rev. Jerry Falwell......lol...what an idiot !!) It was fun (shout out to Kent at BIG LICK restaurant !!)
Was in Norfolk/VA Beach last night, hung out with some great friends who I haven't seen in 2 years. It was a crazy night, I almost got into a fight that was inspired by "Mr Vodka".
Those of you that know me, know that that isn't me at all. To top it off, I think I started it, I heard something that wasn't said. It was good to blow off steam, but I think I'll do it in a different way next time. I'm not an ass, and it did not feel good being one. Anyway, I made it back to my hotel and not to jail thanks to friends. So I will have to spend some time today apologizing to a few people (If they even remember the night...lol)
I'm in Maryland tonight, on the coast. Its beautiful here. Think I'll walk on the beach after the show tonight and have some alone time. I head back on Sunday....will be good to see my babies....I miss them.

ALONE

2006-07-10T13:10:00.000-07:00

Wednesday, July 05, 2006

I just got back from FL !!! I spent 3 days there working on a script, and walking on the beach. It was good to have some time with friends...but it was even better to have time alone. I have never been good at being alone, but over the past few months thats where I have been. I have been through so many changes in the past year, is been pretty painful, in other words, it has sucked and hurt like hell. Being alone has allowed me to see why I didn't like being with myself, and that has allowed me to change. My whole outlook on life has changed. I appreciate breathing more, and I can see more clearly the beauty in life as well as others. I don't want to be alone for the rest of my life, but being alone has prepared me to be a better partner//boyfriend/husband or whatever, in the future. I still have things to work on, but at least I don't mind hanging out with myself. I'm finally not sad anymore. Hopefully soon I will start writing funny things in my blog, afterall I am a comedian !!

Clarity thru Solitude

2006-07-10T13:09:00.000-07:00

Sunday, July 02, 2006

I have found that solitute brings clarity. We have all been involved in crazy situations, or a conflict with a significant other, friend, or family member. During these times the only thing we can see is our anger, and only the negative things in the other person. This can go on for days, months, and even years if we allow it. Anger and hurt blinds. Nothing can make sense until the conflict ends. Unfortunatley sometimes death, either of a person, or of the relationship, is the only thing that can stop the conflict. After the conflict ends we often find ourselves in solitude. Clarity can only come during the calm after the storm. Its funny how after all the crap ends, and the anger fades, we start to remember why we loved the person to begin with, and bad memories begin to fade, and good memories come back. Simple things can bring back good memories, a song, a place, a word, or even a smell. The good memories are the ones I choose to hold on to. I've talked to a lot of people who said they didn't realize what incredible people their parents were until they were gone. Life is to short to spend time in conflict, and I choose not to live my life like that.
I guess what I'm trying to say is......"Clarity thru Solitude" would be a great song title.....or the word "Solitude" would be a great movie title, about a 8ft mexican lesbian who "just wanted to fit in" (ha).....

INXS in Austin

2006-07-10T13:08:00.001-07:00

Wed June 28th, 2006

Just got back from Austin, what a great town ! I Was there with some crazy Baton Rouge friends to see INXS in concert. The show was great !! INXS has a new lead singer, JD (TV show Rock Star) he did a great job. Scott Stapp (Creed) opened the show, he did great as well. I lost a hundred dollar bill, and my cell phone, but other than that, I had a great time.
Now I need sleep !!!!! -SK

Sunny FL !!

Tuesday, June 20, 2006

I'm in FL for a week (Tampa area). Looking forward to hanging out with friends, meeting new friends, going to the beach, and forgetting about all the crap in my life !!!!.......isn't that why God created Florida? Or was is so Tommy Bowden could have a place to coach football? (FSU) -SK

GRIEF

2006-07-10T13:07:00.000-07:00

Tuesday, June 13, 2006

Had great shows in Harrisburg, PA. On my way back I discovered my car needs a new head gasket !!!! (THAT SUX) Just bought a new road bike (Lance armstrong). Im going to start riding to keep off the 25lbs I lost since Feb. Stress and depression over life events took it off......working out will keep it off !!! I've gotten a lot of emails encouraging me, and appreciate every one of you who sent them.
I am feeling and doing a lot better, I've gotten used to being alone, and actually I enjoy it now. It has given me new new outlook on life. Anytime someone is touched by death, wether its the death of a person, or the death of a relationship, they grieve. Grief has stages (shock, denial, bargaining, anger, and finally acceptance.......not always in that exact order) I've been going thru these for a while now. Its good to be living in the acceptance stage (with a pinch healthy anger ...for taste!! ...ha) I feel like I am getting back to being myself, but with added wisdom that is gained thru painful experiences.......Thanks again to all my friends out there. -SK

CHANGES

2006-07-10T13:06:00.000-07:00

Wednesday, June 07, 2006

One thing I have learned in my life.....People change. That is a fact of life. Sometimes the changes are good, and sometimes they are painful. Changes can bring people closer, or tear them apart. You can't control or change another person. You haved to respect and/or accept the changes in them, and live your life with or without them. It may take some time, but acceptance will come. (Deep thought of the day) -SK

DELTA HELL

2006-07-10T13:05:00.000-07:00

Wed May 31, 2006

I love missing flights !! Just to give everyone out there some DELTA info. If you miss a Delta flight they will not allow you to stand-by for the next flight. There is no stand-by with DELTA anymore. You have to pay 25-50 bucks and can only book within a 3 hour window !!!!! THAT SUX and only makes AIRTRAN and JET BLUE look that much better. DELTA SUX !!!!....So Im stuck in the ATL Airport, I had to pay to get on the next flight and will get into NY 1 hour before my show.......should be fun.- SK

The BEAST in Knoxville

2006-07-10T13:04:00.000-07:00

Wednesday, May 24, 2006

Just got back from Knoxville, TN where I played in a celebrity Golf Tournament. Had a blast ! The winning score was 18 under, my team had 14 under (not bad). It was sponsored by The Comedy Zone and The BEAST energy drink (Red Bull Sux). It was a good time golfing and performing with other comedians. It was cool to meet Gary Valentine (King of Queens) and Blake Clark (50 first dates etc..)

A good friend reminded me of a truth that I forgot.......
INSANITY is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results

Sick and Tired

2006-07-10T13:00:00.000-07:00

Wednesday, May 03, 2006

I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired !!! I've been told when God closes a door He opens a window. Does that mean we have to climb out the window and risk breaking our neck ? Lately some doors have closed in my life, and the things behind the door, that I miss may not be there when the door opens again.....I think they call that LIFE !!
.....I think I'm just going to sit for a while, the door will eventually open again. I know I just need to relax, and when I least expect it, something or someone will come along and open the door, and knock me off my feet. It happened before, so it will happen again. I have to believe that.

Some of you out there know I have been going thru some stuff in my life. Its at time like these you find out who your friends really are. I want to thank those of you who have been there for me.

Live, Learn and Change

2006-07-10T12:56:00.000-07:00

Sunday, April 09, 2006

I've been doing standup now for 7 years. Its been great, hard, fun, lonely, wild, boring, exciting, frustrating, and uhhhhh...well you know. I guess I just described any job or career. Ive learned a lot over the past few years, mostly about myself. Ive learned to enjoy the ride, and never take anyone or any relationship in your life for granted. You never know what changes are coming your way. Fear can be a good thing, but never be controlled by it. 93 percent of what we worry about NEVER happens. Fear can cause you to loose what is most precious to you. A lot of people may like you and admire you, but its only a few that really love you. Hold on to that person, or people. Do whatever you have to do. Love is an action word............ thats the biggest thing that life has recently taught me. Life is painful at times, but its during these times that we have a chance to learn about ourselves, and change for the better. "What doesn't kill us, makes us stronger"... I used to wonder what that meant....... I don't anymore. -SK

"TIME"

2006-07-10T12:44:00.000-07:00

Tuesday, April 05, 2006

Im headed to the Bloomington, IL Funnybone this weekend. One thing I hate about being on the road is those long drives. Thank God for XM RADIO. Today was a pretty good day, I've had some recent bad ones. Time heals all wounds.....thats good except time takes time, and that sux at times.(does any of that make sense) I'll end with this. I recently met a genius "Red Neck" who said.........."If man came from monkeys.....then why are there still monkeys?"........I just looked at him and said...."Well I guess that blows the hell out of that theory!".........He smiled and walked away. -Sometimes you write a joke, and then sometimes it walks right up to you !!! -SK
