With the gracious help of a self publishing site called Lulu, my new book is available in print.

Scroll through the pages above to see a little bit of the book. Remember fans, only ten thousand more sold and I can switch to being an author now! HINT, HINT! Three down, 9,997 more to go! Oh yeah!

Some people ask me where I do comedy.  Oh, here and there, I’ll reply.

Well, it seems ‘here’ is Tampa, but ‘there’ is freaking Singapore!  Oh yeah!

A Toastmasters club in Singapore has posted my youtube video of my 2007 speech on their website!

Not only am I flattered, I would encourage you all to check out the site and make it popular.  I was impressed when a club in Canada asked to review the video for an evaluation workshop, but this is awesome.

Google yourself!  You never know what or where you might find yourself!

Before tonight, I would never have known that PHP was not a variant of animal tranquilizer.

That was before I couldn’t figure out how to make my website sparkle. Now it does. Oh yeah!

I had to run through tutorials, FAQs, download a FTP Client and lurk through someone else’s code to figure out how to remove random blank ads, but I did it.

The potential we have to learn and accomplish is the only thing that will truly shock and amaze. Seeing who cheats on who and who almost got knocked the fuck out by the very clubs that made him a bazillionaire…isn’t amazing at all.

Entertaining? Maybe. But unimpressive.

However, finding out that your favorite comedian is now more PHP savvy than he was four hours ago should not impress, it should inspire.

Go out and learn something!

It’s time to network!

After too long, the new Shawn Purvis comedy cards are on their way.  Ordered from a lovely little place called VistaPrint.com, they were reasonably priced and rather hot if I must say so myself.  While it looks rather racy, there is a subtle message here, the comedy of Shawn Purvis is not only hilarious, it’s sexy…
And that message is correctamundo!

Need more proof?  Check out the back of the card…

With quotes of course!

I lucked upon a wondrous place filled with a variety of inspirational quotes. www.QuoteGarden.com is one of the best ways to brighten my day.

I’m not sure if it’s the positive or negative things that are handed down from previous pilgrims, but it’s great to know I’m not the only one that has experienced these things.

One of my favorite pages is Optimism

An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves. ~Bill Vaughan

Gems like these allow me a smile and a fresh perspective on things that seem too much for me to handle.

You can even follow them on Twitter if you need a quicker pick me upper… (it’s a word and if not, it should be!)

And if you’re really in a mood that needs lightening (or lightning, depending on your status), there is always my new comedy CD “Once You Go Fat…” available through the link on the right “Support Your Favorite Comedian”

Breathe deep, embrace the possibilities and never apologize for living..
