Everything Will Be Fine In '09...

(Don't take that literally like I know a lot of you will. It's just my motto for the year.) "Everything will be fine in '09... if not, then we do it in '010." Will we say '010, or just 10? We better figure this out before it gets closer and everyone is not on the same page. This worries me.

Also, according to historians, the Aztec calendar will end in 2012... so make sure you schedule all your Aztec doctor appointments in the next 3 years... after that they are all booked.

How was everyone's holidays? Again, I got stranded in an airport. This time at beautiful Washington Dulles. After spending over 4 hours in customer service, a night in a hotel, an enchanting interaction with a bitter rental car agent, 10 hours waiting at 4 different gates to fly standby, my name was the 13th standyby-er to be called to get on a plane to Buffalo. Needless to say, I wasn't happy until the plane got in the air. I put my iPod on when instructed it was safe and the first song in the shuffle was The Beach Boys' Sloop John B, which the lyrics, "I feel so broke up, I wanna go home... the captain is sure to let me go home... let me go home," I thought were just fitting. It was a good moment. Then the pregnant Russian girl next to me began to throw up in her barf bag. Couldn't write it better myself.

Speaking of writing, I assure you that those last two posts were me. It's not like I have a team of writers that I hired during the strike last year to help me read and respond to all of you. I mean it would be ridiculous. It's not like we had a meeting on February 12th, 2008 at Barney's Beanery on Santa Monica Blvd. at 11am to draw up contracts, where the 4 of them (3 males, one female named Kristen who ordered a very expensive Cobb Salad--I mean how can you charge $12 for a SALAD, I mean it's basically just lettuce and other veggies. Is there a vegetable shortage?) swore they would never talk about working for me… that is just asinine.

Yours truly,

Nickolas Greico

By the way, check out my video on Funnyordie.com. And be sure to vote FUNNY, unless you wanna make me cry at my computer -- I don't think tears are good for electronics. I'm pretty sure this is the phone call you've all been waiting for. Enjoy.
