I thought
I was exhausted yesterday. Are you
kidding? My cell battery ran out 5 times. 5 times in a
24 hour period and some of the time it was plugged in.
I took my "speedwalking" to a level I didn't know
was possible. I literally speed walked for 10 hours
yesterday and another 6 hours today. Calling everyone
and telling them this news was one of the most
rewarding and completely mind-blowing experiences I've
ever known. As I said in the last entry, anyone who
makes this jump thinks about what it'll be like to
call home and tell their family the good news. So few
ever get the chance at truly good news like
this, and how fun was it to call my friends and family
and hear genuine shock. I have to single out 3
reactions that just made me laugh my ass
off...
"You will
TOTALLY fuck up that vet clinic now." -
GenuineChris from the boards.
"Do you
realize you are one of less than fifty people in
the history of mankind who could even make the
phone call you just made to me?" - Mr. Tony
Pazelt.
"Fuck."
The last one being
the cutest, because my mother was trying so hard to
say something and she stumbled, stuttered, stammered
and finally just said "fuck". Hahahaha, I'm still
laughing now as I type it. It's just too
much to take in. Your body just throws shit out. Your
head can't form sentences. It's awesome.
It was fun
comparing everything. What I wouldn't give to
have every first minute of the conversations saved
because it was really interesting how people literally
had gut reactions because they've come to expect
almost anything from me these days...but they weren't
expecting that. I mean I really think Charlotte didn't
believe me. Had I not said Vinny Favale first, it
would've taken her a good minute of prodding. As it
stood, she thought I was fuckin' with her for
about 15 seconds and then realized I didn't know
who the hell Vinny was so I had to be telling
the truth.
And let me just
say, thank GOD Vinny named the show. Those 3 words, Up
& Adam, were the only things that made me realize
I wasn't full of shit. It was just like last
September! When I got the call from Tammy they wanted
to fly me out, and once I started repeating it to
people I was certain I had heard wrong and I was
somehow exagerrating? Seriously, every time
I hung up the phone I would remember what
I just said to someone and even I couldn't
believe it anymore. Then I'd remember, no - Vinny, the
VP of late night on CBS thought of the idea, not
me, and he named the show Up & Adam, I never
thought of that... whew. OK. I'm not full of
shit.
What was funny was
calling people was literally just throwing a ball in
the air. Almost without fail the ball would come down,
and there'd be the callback from the same
person when it actually hit them. So I was being quite
the daredevil just dialing and dialing and dialing.
Wow, that's an outdated phrase now. Hmmm. Anyway, the
second calls were even funnier. "Do you understand
what this means!?!" "Oh my GOD, do you realize with
your strengths what you can do on a talk show?!" And
of course it was hitting me... from the parody songs,
to the political cartoons, to the characters, to the
interviewing skills - I mean look at this site
for crying out loud. I just go and go and go. And what
a great forum, every night, to just throw shit at the
wall. Constantly. Bit after bit after bit... It's my
dream job. It's literally my dream job.
And of course as
the title says, THANK GOD this happened on
the weekend. Can you imagine? I used my 1000
minutes in 2 days. LOL. WHEW. Heh, that's funny now
that I think of it. I bet my cell phone bill
isn't gonna be much of an issue in the future. Christ
am I about to have my environment changed
forever. I hope I can chronicle what this
is like.
Alright,
another exhausted day. Enjoy the behind
the scenes video, I figured it was a
nice little entry that I could sneak
those on since there's never any space on
this site anymore. What a head-shaker that
is. I cannot believe how much is happening
right now.
What
will tomorrow bring.
LOL.
Adam
...OH YEAH!
Barker! Still haven't heard about that! As if
I didn't have enough to look forward
to!
