For anyone local, I will be performing at Chemically Imbalanced Comedy's Open Mic on August 8th! Come on out for a night of FREE, yes FREE laughs with my Tastefully Unrefined self! Location info can be found here; http://www.cicomedy.com/location/

If ya show up, come up and say Hi! I'll be hard to miss being 6'4", 315 pounds.

I now have a tumblr: http://sterlingcomic.tumblr.com/

And yes, you can ask me anything! Anything? ...ANYTHING! ಠ_ಠ

Was so nervous the mic was visibly shaking in my hand. BUT, I had the most laughs I have ever had before and both the opening act and headliner congratulated me afterward! Hung out with the headliner after the show. Was an AMAZING night!

Horrific is all that can describe this.

Shooting at the midnight premier of the new Batman film.

...why yes, body, I'm perfectly ready to wake up for the day. Guess who's internal clock is drunk at the wheel again!

I've got a stand-up gig finally on July 19th. Its open mic, but its something! Wish me luck!

Using a coupon in the express lane, and then paying in change should be grounds for a public flogging.

This is actually a rather pro-furry video. Thank you Ana for taking our side!

Very small stand up project I just wrapped up. Description says it all.

I never know anymore what to write in these damn journals. I used to journal a lot, but anymore, I'm kinda meh on the whole subject. Furry has kinda taken a back seat in my life. Not that I don't enjoy the fandom anymore, its just that where I'm currently living there are zero furs and so I've been forced to embrace the dreaded mundane existence D: Not that I mind, honestly. Life has had a lot less drama (Not that I paid any attention to the drama around me in the fandom when I was really active anyway).

Stand Up has been a very slow and painstaking process. I have tons and tons of material ready, written, memorized, tattooed on the back of my eyelids. Its just finding venues to perform. The local comedy club has gotten a call a week from me just wanting to know when their damn open mic is and the excuse is always, when I can actually get someone on the damn phone, the same, "Oh, well, we do have open mic nights, we just don't have our schedule for next week up yet." Okay, fair enough, but the frustration grows when I can't even find out how long set blocks are for open mic. And after leaving my name and number each time I call, they NEVER return my calls. But, the beautiful thing about the stand up game is that if you're not established, you can't yell at a club to get their shit wired tight, because then they will just black list you from the club. So, I kinda have to suck it up and deal with the unprofessional attitude they have. I've thought about YouTube and podcasts, but the problem with that is that it is very easy for material to be stolen and used in the clubs. There's approximately 20,000 comedians working world-wide and 95% of them are trying to make it big. Starting out, your material is your hook more then your personality is. Persona's come later, after the crowds know you can make them laugh, and they come to see repeatedly is when they start to appreciate your persona more then the material. For example, I could go order a coffee from Dunkin' Doughnuts and I'm just Joe Blowjob. They'll make my coffee and send me on my way. Now, say someone like Dave Chappell orders a coffee. The cashier will more then likely laugh and smile a lot because he is an established comic, so people receive him as funny. Anything he says will seem slightly funny, because of who he is.

That all being said, I am very guarded about if any of my material gets out. Yes, I can always write more, this is true. But I don't want one of my bits, that very well could win me a much needed fan, being taken by another comic and them get the fan. Hate to sound greedy, but this is the one thing in my life that I am VERY competitive about. You have to be, comics can be very cut throat people.

I've almost made up my mind that I'll have to just start at a coffee shop. Even though, I really don't think I will be well received by the latte sipping crowd, it will at least be a start. It'll let me flex my muscles and test out the material that is less then perfect.

In other news, I'm down to just one job. Long story short, Life bent me over again. But, hey, I've still got my main one and I am very thankful for that. And, I get paid time off for the summer! Can't beat that! I LOVE that I can say that right now, I'm getting paid money to play games in my underwear while drinking a beer. This is literally the definition of a dream job...when I don't actually have to go into work that is. :P

Its good to be the king, baby!

I'll be out in Batavia, IL visiting  xantherouri until this weekend, possibly longer. I decided, much to his pleasent frustration, to surprise him for the 3rd time with a visit. Hope to see some familiar faces this week!

...is a go! Room booked today! As for roomies, I'm not sure as of right this moment if there will be any spots available, as the last few years have been kinda nightmareish when it came to the room. Right now its lookin' like its going to be a den of feline's again. Tentative Roomie List is as follows:






Also, I shall be knockin' about the interwebs more starting June 1st as I will only be working one job, instead of the fun filled two I had been. Yes, that is why I have been reclusive lately. So, yeah...thats all I really had to say.

"Bob and Bill are buttfuckin' at the Burlington Coat Factory!"

And no, you don't get to hear the story behind it.

I have one now: SterlingComix1

Unfortunately, due to the fact I am working 2 jobs, one of which I need to keep for the summer months I am going to have to cancel attending FCN this year. It just wasn't in the cards. I won't be able to get the time off, and the time I can get off will be the week before the con, which I am hoping to spend with And I'd rather have a week with him then just a weekend. Hopefully next year, kids! I am still planning on attending MFF 2012 though, I won't be missing that for anything! ;3

Laters!

Just some fun video to go with the pic I just uploaded. Enjoy my catardation: http://youtu.be/wwWzWJ54DWo

Artistic people are often misunderstood. This has been a long understood fact since the first slapped mud and feces up on a cave wall in the shape of a mammoth. And I guess this whole journal/rant stems from the place I've found myself creatively. I do agree in the concept that if vulgarity makes the joke funny, then the joke in itself isn't funny. Profanity should be used as an amplification device, not a punch line. That being said, I do have a lot of profanity in what I write and act in. There are two reasons for this. I don't sugar coat things. My work is intended for adults, and as an adult, you should have a concept of how the world and people work by this point. And if you don't, well, strap your training wheels back on. I write for adults. I perform for adults. (That sounds slightly perverted, but then again, this is FA, this site lives and breathes perversion.) And the other reason is because I write a lot for myself. I laugh what I find funny, enjoyable, and true. I'm not a short order cook, I don't curtail my material because someone wants yet another religious rant or wants me to slam so and so because they were gettin' blowjays under the table, while juggling their campaign. There is a reason I don't do those things...and it may come as a shock, but I don't care. Not in the slightest. Those things are not things I want associated with my creative side of my life. Mainly because they both tend to destroy anything they touch, thus, I don't want them anywhere near something I actually value substantially more then anything else.

My humor is a commentary on day to day life. Embellished a bit, of course, but it is my humor. Now, I understand all to well that we all have our own personal taste when it comes to humor. As is our right! I will never condemn someone because their taste is not savory to my particular pallet. But, I will most assuredly tell someone to go get fucked should they decide that they need to take it upon themselves to tell me how to do what I do. Constructive criticism is more then welcome. But simply stating, "You cuss to much." or "That one part ruined the whole thing." or my favorite, "I found that offensive, take it down!" And I shall answer all 3 of these complaints in order:
1. Go fuck yourself. They're words, not physical blows. I do not use racist phrases. I understand the context in which words can hurt, and I do not use them in that context. You are merely upset because of the fact it is a swear word, regardless the context it is used. So for that, I say, "Fuck fuckety, shit shat shite, ass monkey banana nose!" Get over it. I swear. I do know the time and place to do it, I am considerate with it. But it WILL be in my creative work. Don't like it? -Watch, fuck you very much.
2. This one almost always sends me into a blind rage. "That one part ruined the whole thing." What...the..FUCK! You would condemn an entire work because of one aspect?! How narrow minded and sheltered are you?! If you are unable to look past a single aspect of something, I do not want to even associate with you. All that says is that you are such an uptight asshole that if you don't get your way 100%, you're going to stomp your feet and hold your breath until you get your way. You overgrown, adultchild!
3. Now, this one I do understand that if a work you did blatantly is racist or sexist, yes, you should take it down. There are places for things like that, as there are audiences for all works (not saying its right that there are, just stating that they exist.) And there are PRIVATE places for you're particular material. But telling me that a single aspect of something I've done has offended you and that I need to rip it down is unfounded. I don't think anyone told da Vinci, "Hey, I like red heads only, take that Mona Lisa bitch down, I find her offensive." FUCK NO! Its very simple, If you don't like something, then DON'T LOOK AT IT! Cut and dry. There is no middle ground, there is no grey area. If you don't like it, close the window and keep your condescending and unfounded comments to yourself.

My humor is dark, sketchy at times, and at a few points, intentionally childish. It is what I find funny. Here's my disclaimer now. My "I told ya so." I am not focusing on serious subjects because the world is serious enough right now, and all that crap is shoved down our throats all the time. I focus on the humor that makes us laugh like we laughed back when we were kids. It keeps you young both in spirit, but in body too. If you want your educated humor, the New Yorker style jokes, go find them elsewhere, because you won't find them here.

But, that aside. Have a good evening :)

...there really isn't. Between work, BFAB, and the mandatory me time (keeps me from cutting those around me and allows me to recenter myself) there is like no down time! I mean, I'm not entirely bitching because after being unemployed for like 4 years, it feels damn good to be earning my way again, paying off bills n' shite. Granted, yes I'm back at home living with the parentals, but you do what you gotta do to get by. Things are slowly getting better, I mean, this will be the first year I'll be able to go to 2 cons (FCN and MFF). I'm still not too sure how having BFAB invade the con will work out. There will be some definite conditioning of my non-furry BFAB counterparts so that they don't flip out or get too terribly uncomfortable. (Again, my wisdom of "Don't go back to their room if they invite you...EVER unless you want a lil 'PHOONK! OOOO~!'")

But, I think if you saw Redneck Ghost Huntin' *Shamelessly whoring of link, GO!* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olmt.....p;feature=plcp I don't think we'd have too much trouble fitting in at the con. And no, we're not going there to report on the con or anything like that. There may be a skit filmed, but that's it. I've got an odd stance on portraying furrys in any sort of documentary sense. Not saying it can't be done, it just can't be done by me. Besides, BFAB has 12 other projects down on paper we need to get working on, sorry fandom, you're not our concern yet.

So, this is another reason I've been lurking in regards to online shite. But, if you have my IM info, still IM me! Its forwarded to my phone and unless I'm busy at work or sleeping, I will usually respond.

So, its currently 1:53 AM, I have to be to work at 7:45 AM. Journal over.

...all things considered, its the best its been since I graduated High School...and y'know, I'm okay with that :P

Fursuit head commissions at a great price! http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3062154/

Here be BFAB Group's first major project!

Redneck Ghost Hunters!

http://youtu.be/olmtk5ZTDjc

Enjoy, kids!

So, last night was the 3rd and final night of filming for BFAB's biggest project so far, Redneck Ghost Hunters, and I have to admit, I am glad. My days (Monday - Friday) begin at 0600 EST. And the last few nights, they've been ending between 0100 and 0200 for the filming, not to mention most of the weekend getting lighting rigs built, getting the script, props, and wardrobe finalized. Now, I'm just hoping that I've not gotten something from filming in the 18 - 33 degree weather of the 3 nights.

Now, I'm debating if when I get home whether or not I'm going to take a nice, long nap. Probably nap...damn I'm bloody tired right now...

Enjoy my new stand up!
