I have returned from Calgary and my Comedy Now showcase.  I’ve had several attempts in the past and I’ve always come up short.  This time I feel like I ‘left it all on the stage’ and I am finally satisfied with what I did.  I took my good friend Jocko Alston’s (we miss you down here man) advice and did what I wanted.  I feel like I have put my best foot forward, and now the cards will fall where they may.

They’ve also asked for any other material I might have, and upon further review I have HOURS of tape that’s been filling several hard drives I have around the house.  I’m now buring the midnight oil compiling additional clips for this site and for You Tube.  I’ll have them posted by Monday at the latest, and my Comedy Now showcase will be included.

While looking through all this video storage, I’ve realized just how many special family moments I’ve captured now on video and in pictures.  I’ve got birthday parties, Christmases, family events and more.  Once I have everything Comedy Now has asked for put together and sent, I’m going to sit with Melissa and get these videos sorted, dated, and burned to DVD.  I’ll always have multiple  copies of this stuff for backup purposes, but I’m sure one day I’m going to want to just sit down and WATCH all of it,  so it’s  time to make some movies.

Once again I thank god for bringing Melissa into my life.  When Comedy Now called, there was no question if I would be going.  She knows what is important to her and to me, and she is always giving of herself.  The kids call her mom half the time, and she really is the glue that keeps us all running smoothly.

Melissa, Liam and I took in the Monster Truck event today.  Four hours of dirt bikes, demolition derbies, quad races, and more.  Thanks to the person that donated the seats, we had an awesome time.

I’ve been playing around with QR codes.  Scan this graphic and you’ll be joined to my Matthew Murray Comedy Blackberry Group.  I update the calendar and say funny things as they pop into my head.  It’s like facebook, but it’s all about me!  Sweet!
