Fireworks are overrated

It's 12:39 am July 5th. I'm tired and I have to work at 7:00am, but I just got back from the Battle for Independence at Laughs on the Landing and I had a couple Red Bulls so I have some time to type. The contest was supposed to start at 8:00pm, so I showed up around 6:15ish to write and check out the "scenery" on the landing before the show. I saw Adam and he informed me the show wouldn't start until around 10, which was fine with me. It's not like I have a social life, so no problem. I ended up playing some pool, foosball and watching some ECW (Extreme Championship Wrestling). WHen it came to show time, the comics drew numbers out of a hat, and I wound up 2nd which was fine. I did my celibate, email, scorpion, motorcycle, iPorn, animal on animal and Tetris jokes and got off stage at 3:57 (thus meeting the 4:00 limit). I watched most of the other comics, missing only a few bits and pieces as I was ordering Redbull or Water or going to the bathroom. At the end of the show, Gabe Kea took first place and a cool championship wrestling belt and Janine Brito took second. I had thought I had a decent chance at winning, but they both had good sets, so I'm not upset. Incase they're reading, Congrats. I hate you both.
They know I'm kidding.

Next time, that belt is mine, though. Seriously.

Unless it doesn't match my shoes.

I know you know that I know you love me
