There comes a time when you have to figure out the next step...

Dear friends,

As funny as this blog may be, it's a bit limiting as far as topic availability. It's not easy to write a blog when the subject you write about doesn't give you material to joke from. He's always got his nose in a book and only comes up for air to say, "Hungry." Poor thing.

So, with that being said, let me give you a back story on where this is going. Last week, I was a "human guinea pig" for an episode of Mythbusters. Chip drove me to the shoot and it turned out that the other "HGP" failed to show and they needed a back-up.

Chip: To the rescue.

I can't go into the details of the show, but bear in mind I will update you all when the episode airs. Then out of the blue, Chip gets a call asking if he would be interested in auditioning for a new reality show on Bravo. Yes, "Real Housewives" channel.

Turns out, the second phone interview landed me in a predicament: They really want a husband/wife element for the show to balance all the (I assume) douche bag single dudes on the show. Who knows. We'll find out more after the interview.

As Chip was groveling asking me to interview, I didn't give it second thought. I was a natural in front of the Mythbusters cameras. I didn't even flinch in front of the camera. They were rolling and I was standing in front of them making jokes like it was my day job. Lets just say that the MB team will have plenty of sound bytes from yours truly.  

So that got to me thinking, "Hey. I like making people laugh. I'm not camera shy. Shit, I'm not shy at all, just don't ask me to take my clothes off." And it hit me and Chip: STAND-UP.

I broke out my journal, my notebook I sporadically write (yes, HAND WRITE) entries into and wrote a list of topics I could discuss. Chip and I brainstormed and came up with several things I could potentially do in a routine. So, today...I began to write. And I wrote...and I wrote...

Shit. This isn't looking like a stand-up. It's looking like a chapter in a book.

So, with that being said, I'm going to transfer my thoughts from my journal to this blog. It's meaty, it's juicy, it's full of suspense, horror, surprise and all comedy. The majority of this will be about me and Chip, after all, he's the one that points out how funny the crap is, even though I don't realize I'm doing something or being funny.

So this blog is STILL dedicated to my Chip. It's a bit broader now, but hey-- you people seem to like my writing style, and my comedy. Feel free to leave a comment on any post. Let me know what you think.

Love,
Brenda
