Malcom X and inspiration...Rambam as well!

Hey Gang

reading about malcolm x, awesome person. Too bad he had to go so soon. I feel as awesome as he was, there was much bad karma headed his way. Sometimes it's tough to escape your past. I wish he had lived. He and Robert Kennedy would have changed the world, for the better. His mistake i think was to cut the ties with his former mentor. His safety net was no longer in place. Good lesson for us all. Maintain ties with powerful people till you can crush them; little by little they say.

I'm performing much, dealing with management problems again. they like to hurt people. I say treat everyone as if they are your Mother or loved one. Sometimes these Animals forget that. They create or turn people into garbage then wonder why they are unable to get results from them. I will follow Charlie Chaplin, Mary Pickford and Gregory Pecks model. Create something for myself that operates with ideals, standards and integrity.

As for the Rambam, will have more on him later:)

Hey I'm back!

Greetings blogger fans. I've been paying off debt, riding my bicycle and getting on stage often. The Reece Organization has been very good to me, thanks Gentleman. In addition so has A.M of the Broadway Comedy Club. Another great person I've gotten together with is R.P of RPM Talent.

Some gritty info: Recently after medition I calmed myself down. I used to run a show and the club uptown NYC, nice venue. However after a while we all hated one another (owners and me) and then that was over.....Why? Mainly because I was not family, and perhaps I did not want to play by their rules. My business was off as well. However when waiting 4 days for a responces to move one something, perhaps some things are unable to get done. Things snowball then results are off. That is how companies get rid of people (one way). I allowed myself to be used and should have moved on years ago. On good terms with them though, and take responsibility for my being there. They were very good to me in many ways and that is what I left with; the good.

The Hurt, then the Growth: Had some friends who worked under me run shows there recently, after I was gone. I didn't mind however someone I thought was a good friend, waited till I was running a show elsewhere, had him on that show, paid! Then in the middle of that event he advised me he was running a show at the old place. Although this was planned weeks before, he waited till I was at my most vulnerable, then dropped the bomb. Had he run it by me weeks before, I would have wished him well. It is not my intention to hurt anyone. I work with and help the current managment to this day.

That insident, was very upsetting however after some medition, I was not angry, just hurt. The good news is I got over it. I did realize that person is not necessarily my friend, perhaps never was as friends don't do that to each other. However I've done that to "friends" and understand the Comedy Business attracts artists who share a common thread and friendship is not necessarily included.

The Exception is as follows: I had a best friend in the business, an honorable Reverend who now has 2 kids and lives in Los Angeles. I miss him so. We are still best friends and he is one of the greatest people I've ever known. I'm sure he'll run for congress one day; he better!

More good news....We come into this world alone and that is how we generally leave...I realized recently who my "friends" are, and who they are not. I am on good terms with that club listed above, and harbor no animosity towards anyone. Just wished I was advised of what was going on by my "friend." After helping guys out, sacrificing and stressing out I had hoped a little decency would have been shown. Feeling like a fool is not something I recommend, it's over-rated. However if Jesus, RFK, Malcom X, Ghandi (or Rodney lol) didn't get respect, why would I?

Ok- Bicycling; in love with it. Riding daily on the West Side Green Path in NYC is a dream. Did I tell you I broke my wrist? What a story that was...email me for more info...this ones a dandy!

just want to tell you I've been doing great! Getting corporate offers of $1000 or more for corporate gigs, paying off debt and feeling great! c u all soon!!!!!:)

my life this last week- or so

I'm wondering why I attract crazy woman. I don't mean hot sexy/crazy woman. I mean woman that are sickos. I'm on my 5th stalker already. Most recent one stalked me from inside a building where she works. I often go there to read the periodicals. It's a public space. I keep forgetting this part of the country breeds sicko. However woman continue to impress me with the high level of intelligence they posess. The really evil ones can pick a guy and manupulate the heck out of him. Recently happened to me. I hope this guy doesn't plan to come after me, I really hope he doesn't. He's all ego and and doesn't realize that she will turn on him eventually.  More than 50% of all relationships end. That's not great odd. 

I love woman, especially since learning about the story of Passover. In addition woman are such highly intelligent beings and I finally figured out how lovely yet how dangerous some can be. A huge respect and fear- yes sorry the Kole man is human; yes fear of some woman is normal and healthy. 

The comedy busienss is proving to be quite a challange. I have to get over my entittlement. Recently I did a show, and the club manager put up a guy he would like to have sex with after i went up on stage. So much unprofessionalism around me, so many sickos, so much..wait..maybe i'm the wierdo lol. Actually, after 15 years of advanced training, I am able to dissociate my feelings from my actions.  I loath abusive people and am continually preventing others from crossing my boundries. 

Problems with abusive people. Had an experience on Ebay recently; the seller was nasty and hostil. I called him on it, then he decided to cancel the sale after whining to Ebay. I'm fine with that. Nasty people create many problems. If you can't deal with them from the beginning, god forbid a problem comes up. You may have no choice but to deal with screwed up people now, however keep setting boundries and don't let their problems become your for that much longer. 

Moving forward: I'm making more money, planning to take a few road trips, and am in the process of meeting very powerful people. I was invited recently to speak at the Nations top High School on my experiences in the Entertainment business. Having made it while maintaining my integrity is not easy, but I've done it.  Each day is another milestone. No longer will anyone who simply sucks oxygen away from those who contribute value affect me. Time to continually move foward, upward, onward. Damn the torpedos!!!!!! Fulll.....

why do i attract weirdos?

Because I feel that is what I deserve I suppose. Recently a psycho who I have avoided speaking with, called the Police, then the next day the Fire Department on me. The EMS guys came to take me to a "Hospital." Yes, against my will they would have. 

No trial, no questions. Just because some "confused" chick told these guys I lit my own tickets on fire in the bathroom of a NYC public building. She was a typical Fem- Fatal. I never asked her out, touched her or did anything inappropriate. We were even friends for years. Her boyfriend was so nasty and abusive as well yet I backed off. Why argue over someone who is trouble. You can tell people like this a mile away. Be careful, stay away from abusive  people. 

I have inquires pending and will certainly do my best to educate those who don't have a kind and decent thought process. My family told me to drop this, and or be careful. However I was minding my own business and was attacked for no reason. Whose to say this woman would not make something else up? No investigation, just an accusation. I have all records and am covered. I do not hate this woman, nor her boyfriend. I've been a target for abusive people.  I tried to help them both as well. However if you stick your hand in a Tiger cage you will get bit. Even if you are friendly. 

All is going very well, inspite of any non-sense.  Don't look for trouble, however sometimes trouble finds you. Innocent victims of war and violence are hurt all the time. The bullies of the world take full advantage. I'd love to just live my life, away from cruel and difficult people. Howevever sometimes we have no choice as the cards are dealt for us. 

Seek not revenge on anyone: seek the truth and shower people with love. Those who try and hurt you, respond with equal force; nothing more, nothing less. 

The Old Geoff Kole is Dead, gone forever

No longer getting too upset. Was so up against it this weekend. Owner of a place I work with continues to try and crush my spirit, even if if do a grand in business for him in 1 night. That's one-thousand dollars, yes you heard it correctly. 

God help me if I ever do that to people. I've worked for alot of people who enjoy ruining people's lives. Gangster, Gangster wanna-bees. Who knows. It's time to stop taking crap from Monsters and not support their efforts. If you work for animals, find other work. Create a resistance movement. Unfortunately they have infultrated many levels of Government as well as Municipalities. Hopefully this note will start a silent rebellion. this goes for waiters, show producers ect. IF THE GANGSTERS CARE ABOUT SHOWBUSINESS, THEN STICK WITH THEM. THE OLD DAYS new that type of Hood. They were lovable guys if you flew straight. this new breed of Hood is unlike anything we've known. They are leftovers or children of Hoods. Less clout however use fear. Eastern European hoods are another story. Stay away, clear and far away. They have alot of power and were in Government. Stay away. As for the local greaseballs.....just be polite. Move on.

This weekend I had a party that arrive 1 1/2 hours late. you heard me correctly. Then I had a bartender complaining, then the music was too loud, does it ever end. I'm to book parties however everyone's head is up my butt all the time. God save me, I say it to myself all the time, somebody save me, please!

So I was saved, survived the evening, got home around 6am, no tip from the client(ain't that special?) Not my problem- it's theres. they don't know better- god help them. 

I missed a family event because of that party, I was sick in the AM. Heart sick. Being made to feel like an imbecile by the owner, under the thumb of the bartender, at the effect of security and the client. I was so miserable....HOWEVER i taught me to just let go, and let God. I feel so much better, stronger now. I don't care what any club owner does anymore. I'll own my own one day. And or work for those who care about me. 

What a nice weekend! :)

I'm going to clean up my language on the blogs and offer resolution to my rants- there needs to be a way out....so let's go

first, I'm avoiding dealing with other people's problems, by understanding my own had gotten me into a problem with them in the first place. Recently a Librian who enjoyed flirting with me told her boyfriend...yes, I'm the evil one she needed to be saved from. After exchanging emails with her boyfriend that could have led to my wearing "county blues" and eating 3 sqares behind bars, I decided to cut off the comments, did a "my bad" and moved on. Took responsibility- even if she wears see-through skirts with a thong and flirts doesn't mean she wants more than a distant friendship- geepers! NOT FAIR LOL

NEXT- a mean angry  Troll with no life(my bad lol) tried to get me to comment on facebook after his dopey remark- i didn't fall for it...sorry Comedy Troll! 

next:

First- the postive: I have a great bunch of guys helping out. I won’t mention names it’s not polite. My door guys are  great comics, and helpful. One of my steady guys runs karaoke shows, and he’s amazing as well. Another dude has developed a nice act, and is very helpful- tests me a bit however an honest decent guy. However he loves Banannas (my bad lol!). and White woman ! OMG!!! Luv ya bro!!!

 ok...here not the trouble...

Recently had a total sicko comic almost ruin a show. I cut their time by 2 minutes, which was a gift. They had no business being on the show in the first place. 7  in the audience walked out in discust from this act. The remaining were so annoyed by the garbage they saw it took them 10 minutes to recover through the next comics set. Guess who that was? lol

This "pleasant human being"  then blames me and the room. Truth is...They were right, I booked them. It’s my fault for trusting such an imbacile. Ok, let’s get positive again. I want to do a shout out to C who runs an amazing show at NYCC Fri/Sat. His host M.W.,  is professional, polished and smart. Ron, great to see you too! Midnight shows check em out.

 

L.I. shows. I’m finally back in Long Island. Wondering how that’s going to go. Dave and Busters is an amazing venue. Had some bad blood with some L.I. club owners recently. Not my fault, nor there's actually. Ok,  They used me, then abused me, then showed me the light- meaning time to go. I’m not mad at them, I choose to be abused, put myself in that situation.  In their mind they were kind. And they are right somewhat. The pay was good, the treatment was good, for a while. However I was spread so thin around so many different places, I’m sure they had had enough of this "disloyalty." fact is I was loyal, just spread thin, helping everyone. Not being more of a company man. However I did nothing different, so there was nothing knew about doing things different.

 

I’ve worked for horrible people before. They weren’t horrible, just not in my corner. Who is really, if your not family, your not in I guess. I do miss them however would not permit anyone to abuse me or ruin my shows. Many clubs try and ruin people by placing horrible acts on shows. A bad act can be “burned” once a week, not every night! Geepers!

 

So I’m back on L.I., with family- yes  family. I just hope I don’t get run off the road, lol. 

THEY ARE UNABLE TO LISTEN- DON'T WASTE YOUR BREATH!

 Recently a Comic asked for some time on my Underground Show. This person has gone over everytime, and gone over by 4 minutes at other clubs. I hate that like the plague! So, I remind them when they seek another spot. Suddently I've done a horrible thing. How dare I bring this up? Gee...I don't know, perhaps because I'm in charge?

Now I have to deal with having another unhappy ego centric overly sensetive person without regard for what I'm doing on my mind. And just what am I doing? Earning little pay, putting people up who need spots, growing as a comic, having to deal with overgrown children who blame Daddy when they crap in their pants. I am not angry, and do not fight w/ anyone anymore. However I'm still getting into arguments with too many. Why? Because I'm not playing the game correctly. Sometime people do not deserve a reply.  They are good people, however their actions don't warrant it. So now after that comic fucked up repeadidly I now feel bad because they won't allow me to run my show on my terms. What terms are they? We all respect eachother, and the show. When you see the light, get the fuck off stage. Try blowing the light by 3 minutes at Gotham, see how they like it. 

At this point on no more emails to comics I won't work with. Nothing good ever comes out of it. As much as I hate it when bookers won't return my calls, or emails. I understand fully why they do it. So now I've decided to become more like the people I have promised not to emulate. Why? Because some people ruin everything for the rest of us. However to error is human- so why not love them? I will, as long as the hug doesn't go over the light by 3 minutes 

A day in my life

Much too loud! I'm at the Underground lounge and they keep playing music so loud! I love the place but what is it with everyone:? Must everything be loud? I'm going to work with the Bloomberg campaign and move my way up the Political ladder. First rule of business...make sure music in bars is kept in check. Lost some hearing do so negligence of bartenders. What is wrong with them? Too much power:? must be that bottle opener in your back ass pocket. /that would get me drunk with power too. 

I'm being more positive in my life. Result...a brand new opportunity in the comedy business. Recently a Club really fucked me over. Ruining my shows, and yelling at me because they kept fucking up. So, now I'm running my own business with great promotion. Time for me to make my money. No longer putting up with crap. Funny, a club I';m working wants me to help make them money, yet they continue to sabbotoge my efforts. Why? Because the Comedy business if fucked up. Made up of come good people, however also with some real doushbags, weak individuals who are either failed comics, or failed human beings. 

some clubs and owners have their shit together. One guy, who owns 2 clubs on the upper west side, is a friend. I have looked out for him and his family, and he appreciates it. His wisdom has helped me grow immeasurably. I was speaking to him the same I hate the way others speak with me. 

Money- well, it's been tough, working my ass off and getting more of it. funny how I have worked for people over the years who use money and stage time as weapons. One guy i remembger ran a club a and wouldn't  put me on stage. All the  while I'd se others get booed off stage. Reason being he didn't  want to book people who worked for a club, making money for that club. Meaning- if your a useless fucktard that asswipe would book you. but if you make that club money, sorry- we can't have you fullfil your life's dreams here. I  want you to suffer like I  do on the inside. That piece of shit was the type who can  run clubs. Miserable loosers with no life who hold onto what little power they have. Many are missing teeth- total shitbags. However if your missing teeth that does not mean this is about you. 

Another type of asswipe is one who promises me stagetime and doesn't deliver. You don't won't me on your stage, or your bosses stage you maggot, fine. However don't promise me something without any intention of following through you fucking asshole maggot low life scumbag. I will do what I have always done doushbags with no life, no future- go around you. Fuck you! 

Oh yeh, just kidding :)  

It's been a long time so listen up!

I've been getting coached not to mix my business ranting with my blogging. Great idea. My good friend the Doctor, who ain't really a fucking doctor lol, but a good friend, along with my other friends TJK, Josh, and someone else....?

I'm so fucking angry these days. Money is tight, and I don't want to deal with it. It pains me to remove money from my savings account. Yet I am in a position where I really need money. Comedy is going great, however it's tough. I have decided to take a part time job with a club to make somone money. I get there, and it's not even set up properly for me. More sabototoge. It seems everyone trys to get over on eachother in New York. We are fast becoming a third world nation. 

Tonight, I had 2 comics go over by 3-4 minutes, and another comic arrive with 15 minutes left in my show. What is wrong with these people? Of course one of them will probably get a tv show because of a few dumbasses without integrity pulling the strings. Or, perhaps all that matters is what sells? sometimes that is what counts. Time for me to stop being such a nasty angry person and simply go along with things. 

I'm going to move forward, in a positive direction, and become happy, content, rich and famous. 

I'm a "Private Dick" and I know some doushe bags

Hey Gang!

Been having trouble using my own blog account. So far, here is what is cooking. I've asked a comedy club in L.I. to remove my name from it's open mic listing, as I was given an open opportunity to leave several months ago. Like the way that was put, "an open opportunity to leave."  Asked them twice, lets see what happens. 

Next: some whiny cunt (male-worst kind) mentioned my emails are filled with complaints.  Take a look below at the genius' email to me.... It's below. Check out the spelling of the word "went" in his email.  I send these posts because everyone seems to enjoy them. 

Next: I am not getting booked as often at certain clubs. Has very little to do with my act, more about politics. Example. A club on the Upper West Side has continually promised me spots. However managment fears me, as I'm able to run a comedy club, any club; with my eyes closed. So they would prefer not to have me around, they fear for their jobs. This is not my opinion, it is the result of much study and research. Even the owner of a major comedy club told me once, "sit on your porch, no one cares." Do something amazing, everyone takes notice, basically. Those who have the least to offer, fear the most. 

Stolen Idea: I have been producing a series of shows, and some tard took my idea, and found an ally, they are both running with it. My options: rise above the "sewer" once again; and crush my unworthy advisaries, lol.

Underground Lounge: Shows are going very well, however allot of work. Thanks to a solid group of assistants, we have the best Underground Show in the City.  

Used, and then left behind: I've allowed myself to be used by a club owner/manager. By getting spots, and not helping other people; basically being held hostage for a spot or 2. It's amazing how cheaply I have sold myself. Imagine if I didn't need anyone for time, I'd be dangerous, wouldn't I? Allowing myself to be manipulated by anyone for stage time is over. These people have created a monster, lol.

I've allowed the quality of my life to disintegrate, mainly for Comedy spots. Time to make a change, be more in control of my life;  past, present and future. I've done most things on my terms. Ex: ran a "ethnic" show at a club on the upper west side. Advised management not to book anyone else. They did not. Funny how club management trys to reward people who wouldn't waste the urine by peeing on their grave. I like to reward people who would pee on my grave! lol- wait your turn!!!

Who do I like in the business? Anyone who is a human being, not a self serving sycophantic low life (ok, enough about me). Only Club owenr  who has not fucked me in years of doing business? He's in Suffolk county Long Island, Take a guess?

Ok gang, enjoy the new year!
