			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow, I did it.  I finally upgraded my website after way too many years.  I had switched hosting companies, and in the switch, I broke my custom made blog admin area where I could write new blog postings.  I got lazy and never fixed it.  Until a few days ago.  Let me just state for the record that spammers are kind of crappy.  Over the past few years, spammers slowly crept into the comments of my blog posts, then into my guestbook, and finally into my email form.  Well, because of the spammers, I shut down comments on my blog posts, made my guestbook read only, and had to go through a lot to try and thwart spammers from using my contact form for  their own evil ways.  I had enough this weekend, and spent a few hours setting up a new website, with a new look, new blogging system ( Thank the sweet lord for <a href="http://www.wordpress.org" target="_blank">WordPress</a> ), and spam protection.  Ahh, it feels nice.  LIke moving into a fresh new place, and only bringing the things that mean the most to you, and leaving behind all of the junk that you have acquired over the past few years.</p>
<p>So, this is my first blog post in about three and a half years.  When looking back on where I left off, it is amazing how much can happen in such a short time.  Three and a half years, and my life is completely different.  I am still doing stand up gigs every once in a while, though not as often as I would like.  My time is filled something much more important to me&#8230; my two children.  Yes, I had 2 kids since my last blog post.  See, I told you that a lot has happened.  My daughter was born in April of 2007, and I just had a son 11 days ago.  So, as you can imagine, I don&#8217;t have as much time to devote to comedy.  I have been getting out every so often and traveling further to some of the gigs which is a lot of fun.  I don&#8217;t know if I could live in hotels for an extended period of time, but when I get to travel out near Pittsburgh and other cities, it can be little a little vacation that I make money on.  Not to shabby.</p>
<p>I have some great stories from the road that I want to write about on here so that I don&#8217;t forget about them, because they are funny and weird all at the same time.  Hopefully, I won&#8217;t let three and a half years go in between my next blog post.  Oh, you could be so lucky!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am not booking any shows for the weekend of June 3rd -5th.  Why you ask?  Ok fine&#8230; why I pretend you ask?  Well let me tell you.  That weekend I get to get back to my ultimate geek roots by attending the <a href="http://www.wizarduniverse.com/conventions/philadelphia.cfm">Wizard World Philadelphia 2005 Comic Book Convention</a>.  Now I am not going to get dressed up like a Wookie or like any of <a href="http://www.bobafettmp.com/Temp/photos/501-mainphoto.jpg">these assholes</a>, but I am going to get geeked out.  The reasons for me to go to this convention keep getting growing and growing.  First, I have wanted to go to a comic book convention since my buddies back in Vegas, <a href="http://www.omnibuscortex.com">Barry</a> and <a href="http://www.thefamouspaul.com">Paul</a>, told me about the big one in San Diego&#8230;<a href="http://www.comic-con.org/cci/">Comic-Con</a>.  They sound like a lot of fun, and they always have some really cool people to meet.  First, this year, the convention here in Philly will have <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002073/">Lou Ferrigno</a>, <a href="http://www.kingkongbundy.com/">King Kong Bundy</a>, <a href=" http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0368745/ ">Richard Hatch</a> (from the original <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077215/">Battlestar Galactica</a>, not Survivor, dumb asses) and from the new <a href="http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/">Battlestar Galactica</a>, the gorgeous <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1065454/">Tricia Helfer</a>.  There will be a shit load of other famous faces from the comic book world and smut world (these geeks are the perfect audience for it).  But the main reason for my going is to meet my childhood hero.  Well, Christopher Reeves was my childhood hero, but this guy came in a close second.  The one the only&#8230;<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0429207/">Sam J. Jones</a>.  What do you mean who?  Flash Friggin&#8217; Gordon, that&#8217;s who.  I must have watched Flash Gordon about 1000 times as a kid, and as an adult.  I love it so.  Sweet sweet memories of Flash, Dale Arden, Hans Zarkov, Ming the Merciless&#8230; yes I am shedding a tear.  I can&#8217;t wait to meet him.  It will probably be a quick &#8220;Hi, I&#8217;m Langdon.  I am a huge fan.&#8221;  Then a &#8220;C&#8217;mon on, move it along&#8221; from the security guard, but it will be worth it.  Sometimes, you just have to let your inner geek come out and sing at the top of your lungs&#8230; FLASH!  AAAAHHHH  AAAAHHHHH!  Flippin&#8217; Sweet!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For all of you uber-geeks out there, I just wanted to let you all know that I installed an RSS feed for my news/blog updates.  So if you have an RSS feed reader or a browser that supports RSS feeds like <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/">Firefox</a>, then you can easily see when I have updated this lovely page.  Whether you have a PC or a Mac, you should get Firefox anyway.  Microsoft&#8217;s Internet Explorer is a piece of crap and allows spyware into your computer without you ever knowing it.  Thanks Billy Gates.  So to sum up, get Firefox, then subscribe to my RSS feed.  Bitches.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I forgot to mention the passing of an incredibly funny and talented comedian.  <a href="http://www.MitchHedberg.net">Mitch Hedberg</a> was one of those comedians that could make everyone in the room laugh.  You didn&#8217;t need to like his style or agree with everything that he stood for, but you were guaranteed a laugh when you saw him perform.  He had so many great one liners that I would find myself repeating them for days after hearing one of his cd&#8217;s.  I wish I could have seen him perform live in person.  His website is saying that he died of a heart condition, but there are rumors  that I am hearing from other comics that it was drug related.  In either case, Mitch will be sadly missed by his fellow comics and his adoring fans.  What a damn shame.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>
<p>Damn it!  My web hosting company suspended my service last night after giving me a bill 5 days before.  I had 5 days to pay it.  But, it was for the past year because they forgot to bill me for 12 months.  12 months!  That is their business.  How can you give something to someone for 12 months and forget to charge them?  That&#8217;s like a whore going down on 12 different guys and forgetting to collect the crack rock while wiping him off of her mouth.  Sure, even I have forgotten after 2 or 3 &#8220;clients&#8221; but certainly not 12.  Umm, disregard that last comment.</p>
<p>So this past Saturday I performed at a place called the Bent Elbo.  A comic named <a href="http://hometown.aol.com/dan1831">Dan Glammer</a> co-produced the show.  I had a fun time their and the room was close to full.  This was actually the first show that Dan and his partner have put on there, with many more in the future.  It sure makes a guy feel good when you&#8217;re asked to perform in the premier show for a club.  The other comics in the show were Dan Glammer as the MC, Jim Burns, Martha Gay, and <a href="http://www.GenoBisconte.com">Geno Bisconte</a> was the headliner.  I love to watch Geno.  He comes right out and insults a guy in the front row, but does it in such a way as to not get his ass kicked.  Every time I see him I am amazed at how well he takes control of the audience and makes them love him while throwing slapping them in the face.  I love every minute of his act.</p>
<p>So I am slowly adding new things to this site.  Soon, you will be able to read all of my past ramblings here, instead of just the past 5 entries.  I am trying to make everything automatic so that everything gets updated properly when it is supposed to.  I love PCP&#8230;sorry, PHP.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This cracked me up.  Everyone is raving about Jamie Foxx right now. &#8220;He is such a great actor&#8221;, &#8220;He is the best actor of the year&#8221;, blah blah blah.  Mr Foxx has one of the crapiest movies ever thought up coming out this summer called <a href="http://www.sonypictures.com/movies/stealth">Stealth</a>.  When you see the trailer, tell me they didn&#8217;t just combine Short Circuit and Top Gun and try to pass it off as a summer blockbuster.  We will see just how good of an actor Jamie Foxx is when he is promoting this movie and he is trying to convince America that this movie is worth spending two hours and $10 a person.  He would have been better off just signing on to do &#8220;Ray 2: I Still Can&#8217;t See Shit&#8221;.  Also, listen for the AOL guy to make his feature debut in the trailer saying &#8220;Good Bye&#8221;.  You&#8217;ll get the reference when you see the trailer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I haven&#8217;t updated this section of my website for a while and for the two other people that read this (hi mom and dad), yes, I&#8217;m still alive and kickin&#8217;.  I have been doing a lot of shows lately, mostly private events all over the state of PA.  This last weekend was a blast.  One, because I had a great show on Saturday, a mediocre show on Friday, but mostly because of Monday.  Can you say Spamalot?  Yes, I had the grand honor of enjoying <a href="http://www.MontyPythonsSpamalot.com">Monty Python&#8217;s Spamalot</a> on Broadway.  It was friggin&#8217; unbelievable?  Don&#8217;t believe me?  Ask Jude Law.  He was about six rows up from me.  Eric Idle, the genius behind it, was there as well.  Go buy tickets for the next available show, wait the two years, and go see it.  It probably won&#8217;t have <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000347/">Tim Curry</a>, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000279/">Hank Azaria</a> or <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001383/">David Hyde Pierce</a> in it like it does now, but I am sure that it will still be unbelievable.<br />
I will write more about my shows from this past weekend in a bit.  I am still taking in everything Monty Python.  RUN AWAY!!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just added a guestbook to my website. I wasn&#8217;t going to build one, but I figured why not. This way, I will be able to find out more about people that visit my site&#8230;if anyone visits my site. I am working on a photo album now, I just need some photo&#8217;s. I actually just got home from performing at one of Chuckles Comedy Clubs where I opened for Bruce Larkin and Kevin Sullivan. They were an interesting crowd tonight, with a few people in the front row who liked to groan. My act has never gotten groans, and these assholes were groaning&#8230;a lot. Then, Bruce Larkin&#8217;s 20 minutes of retard jokes hardly got any groans, but a simple little priest joke of mine was apparently offensive. Now I have to wait until next Friday to redeem myself (hopefully) with a different audience. Great, this last crowd has officially ruined this upcoming week. And it wasn&#8217;t even that great to begin with.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well, this is it. My first entry for my new website. I don&#8217;t even really know what to put in this section. Should it just be major events in my stand-up career? Or should I fill it with rants about my new expriences in the field of comedy and let this be my comedy diary? I guess that I will just let it evolve by itself. If I feel the need to rant, damn it, I will. Every other computer geek has some kind of blog or online diary, so why not. Then again, I guess that it depends on how well this is received. I guess that anyone reading this will just have to keep coming back to see what really happens here. Because this is exciting stuff!!! Ok fine, it&#8217;s internet diarrhea&#8230;you don&#8217;t need to remind me.</p>
