It's going to be so good to see my family and friends, and really look forward to spending time with them. It was great to have one of my sisters come up, my Dad and one of my best friends too. But getting back to the old stomping grounds is gonna be soo much fun. I'm really anxious to see my two nieces and my nephew. I know I've only been gone for 5 months so far but in little people time it's alot. Luckily I was able to talk to the girls over the phone but the little guy is still a baby, so it'll be great to play with him. I hear that he doesnt stand still for a second, so then I look forward to him running around like a mad man. I'll get in town just in time for the Navan fair which is a yearly tradition of boozing with friends. Can't wait!!! Whether my Dad likes it or not I'll stay with him at the Cottage for a little while until I get set up again, but I have plans on another Comedy based thing that might get me traveling throughout Canada, so we'll see.
On the flip side I am a little bummed out about leaving this place. I gave up my apartment yesterday and that sucked. I really liked that place and will look for something similar when I come back. But it's time to go, I've spent alot of money and will have to go home to replenish the funds. There is no doubt in my mind that I will back here and hopefully within about 6 months. I'll miss the crazy people, the nice weather, the opportunites and of course Scott and Aneta. There were soo good to me, I owe them everything, cause I probably would never have come here if they weren't here.
Hey I got to do stand up, work on a rewrite for a script, commercials, learn about the industry and meet a ton of cool people. Only In LA for sure. For the most part people really liked me out here and didn't have to much trouble making contacts. But I am no miracle worker and 5 months is just not enough, not even close. The good thing is I can take everything I learnt and better what I want to do so when I come back I'll hit the ground running...Ok fine fuck off I can't run, but I'll hit the ground wabbling in a slow pace. Either way it was soo worth it.
The really good news though is I met a film producer/director who loves my story and is going to finish my documentary. The documentary was the main reason I came out here, so having him on board is amazing. He will actually be following me back to Ottawa later this week. He will be filming everything and then taking care of all production of the film. He mentioned that he's doing this cause he finds me very interesting, funny and thinks we really have a good shot of making this movie happen. Actually he assures that it will be made. Once that happens, who knows. He did mention that Documentaries don't make a ton of money but I'll get alot of exposure and have a film based on my life and travels...That's kinda cool, like honestly who wouldnt want to see this on a big screen? Ok fine maybe in Poland or Iran.. So I'll be stopping in cities all the way back to Ottawa performing again. He's a real Nazi with the cameras though so I'll have to really get used to being filmed non stop...Oh well luckily I'm really good looking and don't have a bad angle!!! So I'm really pumped about that, I think that the movie will be great. His past movies/tv shows speaks for themselves and I'm lucky to be tied with that now.
The only problem is the crazy long ride back home, arghh it takes so long. We hope to get all the filming done within 10 days or so. I'll probably shut er down in terms of stops in New York, which I think is a cool finish. I spoke to a Comic friend this morning that lives in NYC and he's in. I'll then go to Toronto where Paul will fly back to LA and I'll head home. I have a better chance of surviving the trip home now that I got the AC fixed in the truck yesterday. It's crazy hot out here, and traveling through the desert would have been a killer. It's 52degrees there right now...haha WTF is that?
So that's that, I figured I'd let you know what's going on and look forward to sharing certain stories with certain people. Couldn't possibly spill all the beans though, in fear of being put in a mental institution....Man I don't look forward to mesquitos, flies, hummidity and possibly actually working! But hey I'll do what I gots to do to get back here, well I won't prostitute, well maybe but that depends on what you look like!
Love you all, and see you soon!
Bob
