they call it: being happy

it was 8:09pm last night when plucky little chad fogland was called to the famous "hollywood Improv" main stage to do a 7 minute comedy stand up set.  he was the first of a showcase of 10 with famous person david spade closing out the night. 

it was very rad.  "the hollywood Improv" is the place to do stand up.  you may remember seeing the stage on the TV- "E!'s eveing at the improv"? 

yes, i had to take the bullet and go first, but it really didn't bother me.  and traditionally, that is one of the harder things to do, but i think i did alright.  i had the crowd laughing and i think i faired rather well.  it felt great to be on that stage.  as lame as this may sound, it felt very natural, like the first time i ever did stand up comedy.  that first time was just a tuesday open mike back in savannah, georgia at a place called "the jokeyard".  i'm pretty sure it doesn't exsist anymore.  i had never done stand up before and i got 5 minutes.  i went up there and did some very rough and early versions of bits that i still do today- bits like 'adolf's tut' and 'final thought'.  nothing really went over great that night, i had a few giggles, but i had never felt so at home, so in the right place, so natural than i did when i was up there behind that mike.  it was that same feeling last night at "the Improv".  it really felt great.

i don't know what i'm trying to say.  i guess today, i'm feeling good.  today, i'm walking a little taller.  today, it's good to be chad fogland.
