New Years Resolutions already?

New Years Resolutions already?

Thanksgiving has passed, Christmas cheer is looming in the faint distance and another year is upon us. First, let's put to rest the idea of the world ending; here is a tweet  that explains my feelings on the subject:

Was asked "What you gonna do before the World ends?" My response "Block, unfriend & unfollow every asshole who thinks the world is ending."

Hopefully, that sums up my "End of the World" plans. Regardless of what the Mayans have led us to believe, my guess is the calendar guy was laid off due to down sizing because of outsourcing. Just in case, I have been Dvr'ing Doomsday Preppers...

Back to the question: New Years Resolutions. Each year, Americans fill their heads with countless "Turns of a new leaf" to better themselves from being the over-weight, lazy, cheating people they are...I'm no different. "I'm going to enroll in a gym, gonna eat better and lose these 30 pounds", that's what plans I'm already making; knowing damn well, I will cancel the gym membership by March, eat like an asshole on New Years Day and the scale will remain unaffected. We all fall for that trap. After working in a gym, is it any shock that a majority of the money they make is from people who NEVER go!! That's right, they bank on you signing up and never canceling because of the guilt...luckily, I have no shame or guilt, so I cancel.

Professionally, I have some projects I want to push forward with for 2013; I want to start a web series. My film "No Clowning Around" basically rings in the New Year, releasing on Dec. 28th, so I will be attending and entering as many Film Festivals as possible. I also have plans on a sequel for No Clowning Around, but that depends on the reaction the film gets. I would also love to write a comedy, be it a short or a feature. Then there is the "This is the year" promise I make too myself - This year I will attempt Stand Up. 

Let me explain my Stand Up philosophy - Stand Up is an art form that rests solely on the performers shoulders. It's you and a microphone vs the audience. It requires no lazy friends who all "want to help" then NEVER follow through (I know a lot of creative people who are lazy assholes that never want to leave their houses..it's sad but true).For me, it's an extension of what I do everyday. Writing, observing or even tweeting dumb thoughts that, at least, make me laugh. 

So, will this be the year for me to elevate myself or will I continue to write these blogs that are read by 31 people, between the ages of 18-46 in the North American region? What dreams do you have for the new year? You have a month left to figure it out. Good luck and walk away from this with a simple life lesson - "Watch where you walk, there is shit everywhere".

Observations from a Professional Observer - Aug 23, 2012

This is a new column I wanted to work on, since I consider myself an observer...from people watching, to movie watching, noticing the odd and even pointing out the obvious. While I'm not sure one can consider himself a "Professional" at observation, maybe I will be a trend setter.

* Starting in October I will finally push forward in Stand Up Comedy. I have enlisted Benny Michaels to be my mentor. You can listen to his podcast -Podcheese on iTunes. Benny has been doing stand up in Jersey and the Philly area for a while and sees potential in me...if only my 7th grade teacher could see me now! All those random fart noises during class are about too pay off.

* Just returning from Monster-Mania Con in Jersey, I went on a crazy DVD buying spree and picked up approx 20 different Horror titles. From The Groovy Ghoulies (which I'm watching as I write this drivel), Mighty Joe Young, Last House on Dead End Street, Nightbreed, Mr. Hush (which my review blurb is on the back of the DVD cover...and for the record, I had nothing to do with the cover art either ) and several other titles.

The two stand out titles I grabbed were both foreign films. The first was an amazing action film that I would highly recommend called "The Raid: Redemption". If you're a gamer that enjoys 1st person shooter games like Modern Warfare, this is a blind buy. Martial Arts mixed with some insane kills, The Raid is 100% high energy. Spend the extra money and buy the unrated version!


The other film was "The Life and Death of a Porno Gang" that was described as take on the controversial "A Serbian Film". I have too admit, I had high hopes, but this one failed me...on all levels. Lack of gore, no shock..very little smut, just a mess. I noticed it was labeled as a black comedy, but it never made me laugh. I was ready for a nap. Not worth a look unless you really are curious.

* While at Monster-Mania, I always visit the Fright-Rags table. I grabbed several shirts from them, like I always do. These guys do tremendous work and specialize in all forms of the genre. I was excited to grab the new "Chainsaw & Dave" shirt that is inspired by the Mark Harmon 80's film "Summer School"...sure, its kind of insider, but dammit it's cool!


* Summer is almost over and holy shit....buying school clothes for the kids, what a fiasco that is. Not just the clothes but even the supplies...these Big Box stores basically bend you over and rob you...without any lube!! Take it easy people...I live on a podcasters salary! Sneakers, shirts...and now, the trend of "destroyed" jeans. What does that mean? Well, it seems the more "destroyed" they are, the more expensive they are. And to think my Mom spent time patching my Garanimals (google them..if you don't know).


That's my Observations this week. Watch what you're doing, because chances are, I'll be observing you.
PS - get your #SocialMediaWhore t-shirts and help shut up crime!

The Extreme Odd Couple Comedy Podcast #1

"...is this thing on?"

Rob Dimension is working up the nerve to make his journey into the World of Stand-Up Comedy. Being a life long fan of comedy, even having the chance to write some, Dimension has finally been pushed...but the pusher is none other than, Professional Wrestling star, Steve Corino (who is is also working in his own groove in Comedy).

On the 1st episode, Dimension and Corino discuss their bitter fued that runs ranpant on Twitter, where it started and where it will go. You also get a chance to become part of the nonsense. They also share their favorite tweets from the last 3 days.

This Podcast is not for everyone and don't worry, Dimension's Horrible Podcast isn't going anywhere, we just thought it might be fun to see where this train is heading...(probably going to wreck).
