2008 - Year in Review

So let's look back at 2008 for me, shall we. I kicked things off with a bang by going to Florida! First off, I gotta shave my head and get a mohawk. Why? B/c I was going away and I have always wanted a blue mohawk. Who knew that I would just keep it.

I went on a plane for the first time and had such a blast going on vacation with Kymm and Kevin.

I got to see Twiggy re-join Marilyn Manson at the Electric Factory. They sang my favorite song "Coma White."

I got to perform my stand up in NY and around Philly and do some new jokes. I appeared on Comcast's On Demand for a 2nd time. Awesome.

Managed to squeeze in a trip to Atlantic City with the Nix in April.

Got to see The Used!

Went to a bunch of Phillies games. Katie got some sweet tickets right behind home plate and I was even on tv!

Went to see Jimmy Eat World in Atlantic City and got right up in the front. They are one of my favorite bands and probably who I listened to the most in 2008.

Saw Nick Swardson at the Tower and met him again. I made him laugh!

I turned 26. Lame. But I did get to celebrate with my closest friends at my house.

I met Joel McHale from the Soup in NY!!!

The very next morning I left to go to Knoebels with Kymm and Kevin. We only went for 2 days but it was so awesome. We're hoping to stay longer in 2009.

I saw the best movie of the year, The Dark Knight. And I have the best poster ever. I'm still trying to find a frame that big so that I can hang it in the living room.

The Faint came out with a new cd which is in constant rotation in my car. Between that, The Used and Jimmy Eat World. You would think they were the only things I listened to. I saw The Faint at the Troc and danced my arse off and came out drenched in sweat like I do everytime I see them.

I saw Nine Inch Nails perform their best show ever in NY.

I was a part of another successful sold out run at the Philadelphia Fringe Festival with Wawapalooza 2: Get Shorti.

Celebrated Kymm and Kevin's wedding by taking them to A.C. for their bachelor/bachelorette party. I got wasted and made an ass of myself.

Before we knew it, the big day was here. I'm so glad they asked me to be a big part of it. I would do it for them 100 times over!

Halloween! My favorite! And on Halloween this year I got a new roommate! Love it!

Mudvayne did their best show this year too at the Electric Factory.

I got to visit the nation's capital and enjoyed much more than I thought I would.

And the best thing that happened in 08 was that my goddaughter was born on Christmas Eve! I love little Mackenzie and want to be around her all the time!

I learned something about myself this year. And it was actually my old roommate who helped me realize this. All he was worried about was image, money, job, and status. He wasn't about having any fun at all. I was always being made fun of by him and his friends for how I dressed, looked, acted and for the stuff that I liked. But this year I spent most of my time with the people I actually care about and I learned who my real friends are. I learned that I'm gonna do whatever the hell I wanna do because that's what makes me happy. And right now, I'm happy. I got a talent agent and will hopefully be getting paid to act and do comedy this year. I have an awesome roommate and an awesome apartment. I have a new goddaughter/niece that I want to show the world to. I'm happy.
