Heya, hiya, ho there! Wassup my Mexicalli Pinto Beaners?? Well, I see it's been about a year since I've last blogged. And for the sake of telling others, "Yes, of course I blog...I am what you might call a blogger who blogs from time to time"....here goes another boring blog:

The year has been full of change. Some growth and still...some growth. I mean the way I see it, even when you're taken a step backwards, you're growing. Huh? See, those things that push us back only make us stronger; therefore, we are growing. Right? Mistakes (even the ones we continue to make over and over) are still character building. Sure they suck while going through them but, by gosh, they make such a difference when your making it a second, or third, or fourth time. I mean you get wiser about 'em. You think, okay, well that didn't work the way I thought it would so I'll try it this way or that way. And even though (in our heart of hearts) we know it's not going to work, we still continue to manipulate the process and hope for a better outcome. Cause while going through it, it can be fun and wild; even invigorating. Some might call this "Insanity". But in case you're wondering, I already know I am a bit crazy. That's the spice of life mi compadre! Time is moving forward. Are you?!

Alright so let's get to it. I've been doing a ton of fun stuff. I am a member of the Comedy Pigs, member of Gus, which is a long form troop in Baltimore Improv Group. A director and founder of Mister Licorice, which is also a long form troop in B.I.G. I've been doing a bunch of shows. At the moment I am the lead character in Wow, It Works, which is an A.A. original play that will open up for 3 weeks in June. And the Pigs are writing and producing an all original summer show that will run for 5 weeks this summer (July- Aug). So in case you are wondering why I am not blogging much (because I am a blogger you know) you now know why.

I don't want to bore you with "this" and "that". We would be here forever trying to go over a year worth of stuff that's transpired in my life. So here is the gist of it all. I am contractor for a small company that develops software apps for Technology Aquisition Management of the USPS. Trust me, sounds more exciting than it is. I've been deciding to change careers altogether and get into the health care field where I think I can find some fulfillment and gratification. What is it you want to be Jiggy? A Nurse! I want to go back to school to be an R.N. Yes, there I said it - A freaking nurse. Not a nurser or one who dates nurses. But an actual nurse!

"What a change, huh? I mean from working with computers to nursing." But I am telling you, that is where it's at. The demand for good nurses is so high. Plus I am a guy. I am what you might call "the minority". And since I get along better with women than men, I'd say I would be just fine. Which is to say that I get along with most women (when not involved with them on an intimate level). However, once involved, forget about it. They become very mysterious to me. They say one thing but mean another. They want you to know they care but don't want to show you - kinda keep you wondering. I'll stop here because this blog could get longer than what time allows for me. So, you get the idea - I think I would be a great nurse and fit in with women who don't make sense to me and aren't logical.

Speaking of women. How's your love life, Jiggy? Got one? Well, I will tell you - I am in a committed relationship at the moment. And yes, I really care about this girl. She is a really sweet girl and we have a great time when we are together. Life is full of laughter much of the time but we seem to be on a roller coaster at the moment. I am not going to get into the fine details of our relationship at this time but let's just say I don't know where this is going right now. I know what I would like out of it but I am still confused. Are we on the same page or not? Does she feel the same what I do? We dated for 2 months last summer and then I ended things with her because it wasn't going anywhere and she had made it clear to me about where she was in her life. I didn't want to go after someone that wasn't into me. Then she rekindled my interest for her in December. I'll say one more thing - we have what you might call a push-pull relationshiop. And I think we both are doing it. When one of us is into us as a couple, the other seems not, and vice versa.

So yea, that's it in a nutshell.

In terms of what's happening right now at this particular day and time - I have Comedy Pig rehearsal tonight and we are bringing in 2 newbies - Tres and Laura. I came in with the last new group a year and a half ago. So we will no longer be considered the newbies. At the moment there are 2 guys - Denny and myself - and 6 ladies - Ali, Anne, Wendy, Paula and the 2 newbies already mentioned. Exciting stuff. Our shows are getting a ton better. We just hired a tech guy - Paula's husband Dan - and things are really jelling. We are at a place where we all get along pretty well. We are concentrating our efforts on tightening the show and experimenting with sketches and short form games. Always working on those improv chops.

It's all still so amazing to me. The whole process is extremely invigorating. I love being up on stage. Such a rush! And when it's good, it's unbelieveable, and when it's not so good, it's still pretty amazing.

More to come (cause I am a blogger; it's what I do - I blog)....
