Strange one.

Started out talking innocently enough about the Today Show segment, being a stay-at-home dad when the camera are not rolling, today being tax day, which means I’ve had to come head to head with just how little I make a year, and the one day I actually talked to another parent at the park and Princess T. almost breaks her back.
In part two I explain the devastating depressive spiral I had to edit out of the show. Listen, the truth is, I’m just trying to get through the next 25 minutes.

Hudson and I adjusted the front derailer on my hand-me-down bicycle. You know, every once in a while, you really need to adjust your derailers.

I also read a segment from my upcoming best seller.

Check out “7th Son: Obsidian” and the Comedy4Cast parody of The Bitterest Pill called “The Sourest Grape.” Excellent stuff, you’ll like it.

Check out the article about J.C. Hutchins and Scott Silger at Blogger and Podcaster audio player (look for the file called Fiction 2.0), or read it on-line.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I talk about The Winter Program and saving seats, and how a mail order company ruined Christmas, then I read “Oh, Christmas Tree.”

Thanks to Animal Rescue Force Friends for their great version of “We Wish You a Merry Christmas”

Apparently, I no longer am able to automatically get out of jury duty. Great…

Gotta work the system? Just slop on some Smiley Greeze!™ It works wonders!

Another one rides the busI have got to stop guzzling caffiene, eating freezer pancakes and chocolate covered coffee beans, and get a night’s sleep. And, for some reason I have some sort of major bus-riding-anxiety. I would feel more comfortable hitchhiking than getting on a public bus.

When you’re doing your radio show, and you bring in some cameras and start broadcasting video, you are no longer doing a radio show. You are doing television. Fill the box, idiot!

Do we really need to watch Jason Calacanis walk his dog, or Chris Pirillo read his e-mail? But guess what, the joke’s on us because we’re the ones who are watching.

My daughter was accepted into H’s school. Can she please start kindergarten now, please? RIGHT NOW? I’m begging you!

In part two, I discuss the explosion that almost took out my local Quizno’s and did take out one of Westchester’s finest. I also admit why I keep the back gate locked up tight.

PILLBOX: #125: The UStream Debacle

I talk about getting Studio VW fixed, the round and around with the dryer that won’t shut up, and can’t seem to broadcast on UStream, even though even an idiot can do it. (This image here has NO resemblance to the actual UStream video).

Did Easter used to have something to do with Jesus or something? When did the candy come into it?

PILLBOX: #124: Aloha, Unicorn Goat Boy!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Well, I’m off the Paxil (I think) and back from “The Big Island.” I’m sure it has an actual name, but that what I call it because it’s easier than remembering Wahalamakaluaiu (or whatever it is).

Yes, back from Paradise on Earth (a.k.a. The Four Seasons Resort, Kona), back from hanging out with the excellent BMW dealers of the western U.S. of A., and back from being in yet another setting where I end up feeling like a unicorn or three headed toad or some other strange and unimaginable creature.

Yes, the full grown adult male who actually wants to spend serious play time with his own children in an upper-middle class setting is somewhat of an anomaly…

I might feel differently if I actually made enough money to hire a nanny and play golf all day and wear a dive watch in the hot tub, but I really don’t think so. I think I would still just snorkel with the kids. Does that make me strange? Good, bring it on!

PILLBOX: #123: The Bitterest Pill is a Paxil (free release)

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

I am going through Paxil withdrawal. I admit it, I’ve been on anti-depressants to treat a non-depression related…”situation” (that I’m just not ready to make like of yet). And, it’s time to give up. The problem is, I am now (as the New York Times mistakenly “claimed”) an addict. Literally. Apparently, Paxil is hard to shake. So,…

PILLBOX: #122: Please Don’t Break (free release)

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

I hate having people in the house. I admit it. The moment they arrive, I want them to get the hell out. Not friends, but workers, cleaners, co-workers, etc. I am reduced to fetching toilet paper and cleaning products. I woke up at midnight to the sounds of someone nearly choking to death, and found…

PILLBOX: #121: I Wanna Be a Car Wash Mogul (free release)

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

I don’t like talking about money, but I do like listening about money, and if I listen too much about money, eventually I’m gonna have to talk about it, right? I reveal my no-longer-secret desire to be a wealthy man, we discuss neighborhood safety, the University of Texas in Austin findings about stay-at-home dads (SHOCKING!), and…

#236: Boss of Road Rage

road_rage900044_low

This is a short show about rage.  Rage and anger.  Well, probably really just frustration and disappointment. I was nearly run off the freeway by a guy in a florist’s truck.  I wanted to beat him to death with a rake, but I was late to an audition.  I almost got another part in a…

#230: The Red Curtain Hangs Down

I got the HBO job.  Apparently I was hired by the hottest director in commercials.  Not bad.  That was Monday.  I had an audition Tuesday and came back to get into my car but it wasn’t there.  Oh.  So, let’s get this straight: my car is gone, my kids need to be picked up at…
