Gloria! Whatever happened to you?!

In the 80's I wrote a note to Hurricane Gloria on aluminum foil and taped it 2 my parents' kitchen door.
The note said,

Gloria, please calm down!
from
Val

I'm NOT writing a note for Earl.

Gloria will always be my one and only!

Yesterday I registered online to run in my first half marathon.
I had to do it like 3 times though
because
apparently I was too slow in typing in my info
and
was told that I had run out of time
and
had to start over.
It finally worked out.
If I'm too slow in simply typing in my registration info what makes me think I'm not too slow to actually run in the event?
Is this a bad omen?
I guess I'll find out!
I'll be posting more info about this(eventually).
I'll be running for the Dana Farber Institute,
so I will post a link where you can donate money to help me raise money(if you're interested).

A Special Kind of Lazy

So, it is common among many comedians to be secretly or non-secretly working on completing a screenplay.
Sometimes I fall into this category. I started writing a screenplay 8 years ago but never finished it.
I just can't motivate myself to sit on my ass long enough to finish the stupid thing.
I'm too lazy.
Oddly, I'm not too lazy to run 13 miles.
How does that work?
Shouldn't it be the other way around?
Shouldn't I be whining and making up excuses for why I can't go for a jog?
It doesn't make sense.
My laziness isn't very practical.
I should probably take a class or find a mentor who can show me how to be lazy the way it SHOULD be done.

Uh oh...

One time as a child I walked down a street and saw an empty can of spagettios on the ground with the spagettios that had initially been in the can spilled everywhere beside it. This image will always haunt me and I think it's why I've made it a point to never try the product!

Damn you, New York Times!
So about 2 or 3 years ago my friend Greg asked me if I wanted go check out "Troll 2".
At the time I had never even heard of it but looked it up and thought it sounded funny.
I ended up going and it was really weird(in a good way).
The people who were there were die hard fans and they were shouting out lines along with the movie.
Kind of like people checking out "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" would.
For some reason I kept jokingly thinking,
I hope there is no evidence that I ever came to this event!
Then suddenly 2 or 3 years later there is evidence
and
it's in the New York Times!
I'm in the second row on the right hand side with the big smile on my face:

How dare the New York Times manage to get a picture of me smiling from 2 or 3 years ago!
