Friday December 8th, 2006 - Bradley, IL/Chicago, IL

Another brutally cold day in Chicago. I missed the big snow storm last week but now I get the nasty cold that comes after it. Two days of this and any rumors of global warming are OVER. I had to get out all the extra blankets I had just so I wouldn’t freeze in bed.

I’d like it even better if I had a nice warm woman next to me but that’s an area that has cooled off as well. A couple of months ago I was knee deep in chicks but now it’s famine time again. It’s like the tide, and the tide is definitely out at this time. Maybe I’m putting a different vibe out or just concentrating on other things but I can definitely feel a cold spell when it comes to women. I am consciously putting the vibe out to change that back again.

One of the women that was on my list emailed me today. We went out a couple of times and it was really fun. She has three kids and I even met them and that went well also. She works a lot to support the kids and I’ve been on the road so we haven’t talked in a while. I tried calling her but her phone was shut off so I sent an email asking her to go out again.

She wrote back and said she met some guy at work and they ended up hitting it off well and now she’s pregnant. Whoa. Now that’s some news. I assumed that ended our chances of going out for pizza. It kind of took me by surprise but when she suggested we still get together once in a while it really took me by surprise. Why would I ever want to do that?

She’s obviously more than just a little committed to this other guy since he knocked her up and as far as I’m concerned it ends there. She made her choice and it wasn’t me. I have had that happen tons of times so I’m used to it by now. What amazes me is that this isn’t the first time something like this has happened. Chicks must think I’m a complete moron.

Maybe I am but I do NOT want to hear about a woman getting a marriage proposal or a ring or pregnant from someone else or anything to do with some other guy. I’m done with her and I didn’t even answer her email. I don’t want to dip back into a negative vibe. This year has been good and I was in a good space with women until recently and I need to get back in that groove so I can find a nice girlfriend to share all these good things with. I am just not interested in seeing anyone who’s pregnant from someone else. Am I too picky?

I did a show in Bradley, IL tonight with a former student named Vince Carone. He is going to be a big star and you read it here first. He was only 19 then and he’s 23 now but he has got it all. He’s hungry and smart and works like a trooper and is a good looking kid who will look great on TV. He is doing a lot of good things and laying a solid foundation on which to build a fantastic career. He has talent and drive and that’s a combination that is tough to beat. I watched him do 30 minutes tonight and felt like a proud papa. I see the growth in him and can tell he wants it. I was the same way when I was his age but I didn’t have anyone to help me harness all that energy. He’s got a much better grasp of off stage things than I did and he markets himself well in addition to working on his act. He’s very talented and I predict great things for him. I just hope he remembers me and lets me drive his limo when he hits it big. We had fun and did a solid show for the people in Bradley.
