Are You Kamphey Approved?

IT’s been at least three weeks and I haven’t regretted a single moment.  The past three weeks have been spent with my girlfriend who just left on Sunday and I couldn’t be lonelier.  It’s quite sad that I knew the day would come and I would return to my normal pitiful self who rambles about the confines of this prison like existence and really tries but doesn’t get anywhere.

But in other news, found out one of the singers in the production shows is a writer.  He’s a musical theater person and likes to write, what? screenplays, awesome.  SO I approach him and he says to swap unfinished screenplays.  I give him Minimum Wage Santa and also a few scenes from a Country Band screenplay I’ve worked on.    Nothing I’ve worked on since getting on the ship and maybe putting in front of someone will spur me to finish them.   I’ve asked if he wants to write some silly musical numbers about ship life.  We’ll see what happens.

John Joseph and Johnny B. are the headliner act this week.  I’ve worked backstage for their show twice before and I’m excited to see them again.  Great guys who have helped me with my stand up comedy.  I’ll see if they want to sit down for an interview after their hell day.  In St. Maarten this week they stay overnight in a hotel then wake up and get on the ship then a rehearsal in the afternoon then two shows late night, 9pm and 10:45pm.

So the shows go well but the ship’s rocking unbelieveably.  It’s the worst rocking since I got on this ship.  We have to strap everything backstage down extra tight and lock everything that has a wheel.  Every few minutes it sounds like we hit a whale.

P.S.  200th POST!  I can’t wait for the next 200!  Maybe I’ll be in Japan, Maybe I’ll be traveling the south selling Gizzards, Maybe I’ll be in Germany working in an Ice Show.  Thank you to all those who read this stuff, I should probably amend that.  Thank you to the one person who reads this.  Thank you!
