Tuesday, December 26, 2006 . This is awesome, my alma mater, Central Michigan University was in the 10th Annual Motor City Bowl which took place at Ford Field in Detroit, MI.
What an awesome night! I went with some great friends and got to see some of my fraternity brothers too! (Delta Sigma Phi). Check out the pics below...

Friday, December 15, 2006 . Now I assume everyone has their most favorite place to dine at and I am no exception. My most favorite place to eat is this restaurant called, "Red Robin". If you have never heard of it or never have been there, they are famous for having ALL YOU CAN EAT STEAK FRIES.
I am in heaven every time I go here because as most of you know French fries are my weakness. Well this place just became not only my favorite place to eat but now is my "HAPPY PLACE". Where I go in my head when I am down or not having a great day! Here's why, I went to Red Robin today in Clinton Township and was welcomed with a loud, "Holy shit is that Rob Little". Apparently some of the people that work at his particular Red Robin had been to a few of my shows before and were super excited to see me! After that I got awesome service and tasty food! Even though it's always that way but this time was much better because I was also getting my ego stroked and that always feels good! haha If you have never been to a Red Robin and you see one going up in your neighborhood, run as fast as you can to enjoy all the delectable delicious-ness that the Red Robin has to offer!

Monday, December 11, 2006 . Today my mom and I were meeting some friends for dinner. Well we were the first to arrive and sat down to have some drinks. This couple sitting next to us kept looking at us. Well finally the woman got up and came over to my mom and asked if 'WE WERE A COUPLE!!!"
My mom said, "Hell No, he is my son!" The lady then said, "Oh because you two would make a cute couple." My mom and immediately began to laugh her ass off. Now my mom was so excited about this because she took it as a compliment that she still looked younger than what she is. And I took it like I take it every time someone things I am older than I am. I STABBED HER!

Wednesday-Saturday, November 15-18, 2006 . What an unbelievable weekend. Last week I won the "Real Men of Comedy" Competition which led me to this week where I got to perform on the actual "Real Men of Comedy" venue at the HBO Comedy Festival in Las Vegas, NV.
I can't believe how much fun this weekend was. I got to meet some of my idols and meet some other GREAT comedians and industry folks and old friends. PLEASE take a look at all the great pictures I took. There are so many pictures so I put them into two pages.

The fair also had these hilarious cutouts all over the grounds and of course I had to get pictures with them so check them out!

The only thing I am missing here is the black eye mask I wore. I know ladies, HOT right?

Tuesday, August 1, 2006 . This is just proof that my family is a bunch of nut jobs.
My Uncle called me up a week ago asking me for my address and that he wanted to send me something. Knowing he works at a paper supply company, I jokingly said, "What are you sending me some toilette paper?" Well I shit you not, today a box of 80 rolls of toilette paper showed up on my door step. Does he think I have that dirty of an ass? I don't even know enough people to wipe that many butts. But the joke is on him, I'm taking this box over to his house and TPing his crib! Haha But first I am going to keep about 30 rolls for my own private stash! hee hee

The promo is an internet based promo called, "Beer Goggles" where I play a clueless guy that asks every girl to have sex with him in his van. After several failed attempts I get these "Beer Goggles" that makes ugly girls HOT! This is one of the funnies things I have done in a long time. Can't wait for the video to come out so I can put it on my website for all of you to watch and enjoy.

Monday, July 25, 2006 . Oh my god was today FUN or what! As most of you may know I shot my 2nd Stand Up Comedy DVD. Well now I am working on DVD extras with my good buddy and director Danny Roew and one of the DVD extra's is an Autobiography.
Now without giving to much away I had my 3 best friends back in Michigan tell stories about us growing up. Then I hired 4 boys out here in Los Angeles to reenact the stories. Believe me this is going to be HILARIOUS!!! Check out these great pictures taken by one of the boys mothers, Tamara Mullison.

Monday, July 24, 2006 . I auditioned and got the lead role on the TLC show called, "Untold Stories of the ER". Well I am playing a cop that got his legs crushed in an accident. It's a very dramatic role but it's so much fun shooting.
Today I had to go in to get my legs casted so they can make up fake legs to look all mangled up in the accident with bones and blood coming out all over the place. So I thought it would be fun to show you some of the pictures when I was getting my legs casted.

Friday, July 21, 2006 . Today I did one of the most fun things I have ever done with a friend here in L.A. We went horse back riding at the Sunset Ranch in Hollywood, CA.
It's not the cheapest of things to do but it's definitely worth it. It's probably about $100 per person for the ride, dinner and tips for the guides. I used to work on a horse farm when I was younger so yeah, I was pretty damn cool on the horse. Check out the pictures

Thursday, July 20, 2006 . Today my friend and I went to a taping of the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Well one of the guests was Colin Farrell. During Colin's interview and right before they were going to show a clip from his movie "Miami Vice" a beautiful black woman walked right up on stage and laid 2 books down on his lap.
Colin immediately jumped up and moved the lady towards the audience shouting to stop taping and get some security to remove her. It was VERY obvious that he knew this woman. He kept telling her he wished her well and she was yelling things out at him too. The only thing I could make out that she yelled was "I'll see you in four months". After they got rid of her Colin felt the need to explain in his words what she was doing. He said he had only met her once before but that she was trying to sue him. He didn't say what for but he did say she was writing a book called, "John Travolta loves in the ass with a vibrator". I SHIT YOU NOT! HE SAID THAT! He then looked embarrassed and said he shouldn't have said that with kids in the crowd. Well for 1 thing no one under the age of 18 can get into the show so there were no kids. And the book didn't even say that after hearing out it on the news the next day.
Here is what the news said:
Dessarae Bradford, who unexpectedly approached Farrell during a Tonight Show taping Thursday and left a copy of her self-published tell-all on Jay Leno's desk before being escorted out of the building, announced Monday that she had been trying to serve the 30-year-old Irishman with court papers.

Tuesday, June 20, 2006 . Ok, so my phone started ringing off the hook because everyone saw me in the audience of Last Comic Standing. Now normally I wouldn't give a crap about that and actually be excited that people saw me but the problem is they made it look like I was laughing at the 3 female comics up on stage. So let me just state this:
I WAS NOT LAUGHING AT THEM AT ALL!!! None of them really tickled my funny bone. What happened was there were some girls from the audience up on stage dancing and showing their boobs before the taping and aparently they were taping crowd shots of that while it was going on. So then they just spliced those shots in after the comic's jokes. So thanks for seeing me, I just wish it was me on stage than in the audience!

Saturday, June 17, 2006 . Tonight the DejaVu Comedy Club asked me to be apart of this speed dating event called, "8 Minute Dating".
I have to say I am so happy I did it. It was a blast and I met some great girls. I just wish I lived in the area to actually go out with them on another date. I had (8) 8 minute dates and they were all good. All the girls were super cool. Then after the dates were all done I got to do a 15 minute show for all the folks involved in the event. They were all awesome and it was just a blast! I highly recommend anyone trying this out.

Thursday, June 15, 2006 . Driving up from the Lake of the Ozarks, MO I saw this bill board and had to stop to take a picture.
Now I have never been to this festival but I can tell you right now there is no way, I am offering mine up for the festivities... The crazy thing is this is the 13th annual one. So it must be a fun time. I actually heard they eat Moose Testicles. Mmmmmmmmmmm Yummy! Now I must go throw up!

Saturday, June 10, 2006 . Celebrity Sighting - Today I was hiking at Runyon Canyon in Hollywood and while I was coming up the backside of the hill near Mullholland drive I saw Michael McDonald from Mad TV walking his dog.
Didn't say anything to him but DAMN he is tall!
|
|
Monday, June 5, 2006 . Kind of Celebrity Sighting - Today I was hiking at Runyon Canyon in Hollywood and while I was coming down the hill I saw Ace one of the contestants from this years American Idol.
He was very nice and said HI to me. He appeared to be hiking with a friend and his brother.

Monday, May 29, 2006 . Kind of Celebrity Sighting - A friend of mine and I were eating at a diner for an early lunch when we heard a guy yelling at a homeless guy. The homeless guy kept coming back for more and then I noticed the guy that was yelling at him was David "PUCK" Rainey from MTV's Real World San Francisco.
Believe me I would have never known who he was because I never watch those shows but he was pretty popular as a crazy nut job so I recognized him right away. We said hi to him and then he proceded to talk to us for a while. He actually was pretty cool but his wife seemed very pissed that he was even waisting time talking to us. He did have a very cute boy though.

Wednesday, May 24, 2006 . Celebrity Sighting - While flying to Tampa from Los Angeles I noticed sitting right next to me is the beautiful Erika Christensen from the movies "Traffic" and "Swim Fan".
What a beautiful woman inside and out. I just absolutely enjoyed talking to her. She was so down to earth and friendly, the 5 hour flight just flew by. I gullibly asked her to come out to my show this week but I was just being silly to think she would actually come. She did tell me that she would be very busy with her studies in the Clearwater, FL Church of Scientology program. But still it would have been awesome if she would have shown up. Hey I can dream! haha

Monday, May 15, 2006 . Celebrity Sighting - I was hiking Runyon Canyon in Hollywood with my buddy/comic Sean Kent when we happened upon the beautiful Charlize Theron. It was so obvious it was her. She was in some sweats and definitely working out but we were listening to her talk and it was definitely her.
Damn she is HOT! I think she looked at me and with her eyes said, "We should dump these people we are working out with and go make out behind some bushes. I know you get hot chicks Rob but I am an Oscar Winning Hot chick and you can have your way with me." At least thats what it looked like she was saying to me.

Monday, May 8, 2006 . Today in Los Angeles, CA I was on National Lampoon Radio with Kent Emmons and Kerri Kasem (Yes Casey Kasem's daughter). It was a blast and I was on their show Comedy Countdown where they play comedy bits from comedians all over the country and rank them from 40 to 1.
I actually debuted on the countdown at #13 with my bit about being a chubby kid right behind Dane Cook with his Kool-aid man bit. That was awesome!
Thanks so much Kent and Kerri!!!

Monday, May 1, 2006 . Today in Los Angeles, CA the Immagrant workers decided to hold a rally in downtown. I guess the Mexican workers want to be treated the same and get the same pay as everyone else. Or something like that.
All I know is that traffic that day was GREAT! No back ups, no accidents. It was awesome. The only bad thing that came out of it in my eyes was that I couldn't walk into Jack In The Box to get breakfast. The drive thru was only open. And the strawberries weren't stocked at Trader Joe's the grocery store in my neighborhood. So if you ask me this was a great day for everyone!

Saturday, April 29, 2006 . After our first night in Defiance, IA (population 200) my buddy and fellow comic Adam Hammer and I decided to check out the local towns. We heard of a strip club called Big Earls in the town just north called Denison, so we had to check it out.
We got there right at opening, 4 p.m. And we were not dissapointed. Only 2 girls working and 1 was a very large black woman and the other was a skinny strung out white girl. Boy this was perfect. Adam and I just laughed our asses off and of course spent lots of money! hahaha Good Times in small towns!

Tuesday, March 7, 2006 . I received an awesome MySpace note from a fan today. It reads:

Friday, March 3, 2006 . Today I went to see the new Dave Chappelle movie "Block Party". It was GREAT!!! I really had no idea what to expect.
The film begins 3 days before the block party, with Chappelle visiting his hometown of Dayton, Ohio, where he hands out "Golden tickets" to the show and signs the town's marching band as performers. It's actually hilarious how Dave just shows up in places where people would never expect him and they get invited to the show. Especially funny when some older white women get invited and are excited to go. Dave then takes us on a tour of the neighborhood in Brooklyn where the concert will take place. Lots of funny moments when Dave is interviewing the neighborhood folks including an older couple that looks more like two women than Man and Wife. I am not a huge rap fan at all but the performances in this movie would make anyone that doesn't enjoy it, really enjoy it. The message is all about fun except for 1 moment when Mos Def and Fred Hampton's (Black Panther) son does a "Free Political Prisoners" chant from the stage. One misconception that is quickly cleared up is the one that says rappers can't sing. Nobody who hears Lauryn Hill's version of Roberta Flack's "Killing Me Softly" is going to buy that one! This movie made me want to jump up in the middle of the movie and yell, "I'm a comedian too!!!" I encourage comics to wait around to the very end of the credits to read Dave's thank you letter. It's pretty cool...

Thursday, March 2, 2006 . Perusing through the Seattle Newspaper I noticed this picture of 4th graders getting a history lesson from a Civil Rights leader. I couldn't help but notice the 3 boys in the front row looking all scared. But one boy in particular really stood out, try to guess which one... 
I still can't cross my legs like that. Something tells me this boys teenage years are going to be very confusing to him. And something about a closet will be involved.

Wednesday, February 22, 2006 . Well today wasn't a complete waste. After my Last Comic Standing Audition I got to shoot a commercial for Microsoft. Yes the computer company!!!
Not sure this will make it to TV; it might just be used in house for the employees. But it was fun to do. I play a manager being interviewed and my face is in the shadows. And after pretty much bad mouthing the company for its policies and practices I drop my pen and bend over into the light so you can see my face. I then have to back track and kiss ass to my boss and the company. It's pretty funny and pretty wordy. But hey it was for Microsoft and I got paid!

|
Wednesday, February 22, 2006 . Well first off, if you read this whole posting you will spend more time reading then I did on stage for my audition.
I got to the Hollywood Improv at 10:30 a.m. Filled out some paper work and then immediately was taken down to the room and stood in line behind 3 other comics before I went on. I walked into the room where Bob and Ross were sitting and they looked up once to see who I was, since I walked in all cheerfully and said a rousing "HI" to them. Then I think that was the last time I saw their faces. I started my act, which most of you know it helps to have a good crowd listening and laughing at the show. Not the case here. They were talking the whole time and looking at their paperwork regarding something that was obviously more interesting than what I was saying on stage. Ross finally looked up and said stop. Then Bob asked me how long I have been doing comedy. I told him 8 years and then he said, "OK, thanks for coming in." THAT WAS IT!!! NOTHING MORE! 20 seconds on stage…TOPS!!! I wanted to blow up so bad and just tell them, "HEY, you didn't pay attention to me for even 1 word". But I didn't. I didn't want to end up on the gag reel. I could be upset about this but why should I be. I finally auditioned for the show and they didn't pick me. It definitely wasn't for my act because they didn't even hear it. So I have to say it was for my looks. And unfortunately I am not the best looking guy. Chubby and Bald are apparently not TV friendly. I get it. I also wish I could say bad things about the show now but I can't do that either. I would have loved to have been on this show. It would have grown my career leaps and bounds. But I'm not and so that means I have to keep my nose to the grind stone and pray that 1 day, someone high up sees me and says, "Hey that guy should be famous!" Thanks for reading...

Tuesday, January 24, 2006 . What a fun night!!! I went to my very first Red Wings Hockey game ever. We had AWESOME seats only like 6 rows up from the glass and right behind the Red Wings bench.
I got lots of hot dogs and beer in me and didn't much care that they lost 2 to 1 in overtime it was still very fun just to be there! I also took some pictures and seen some old friends I haven't seen in quite some time!

Thursday, January 19, 2006 . Today I got to be on one of the BEST morning shows in the country, Brother Wease and the Morning crew in Rochester, NY. What an awesome group of guys and they promoted the hell out of my shows.
On the show with me that day was Sophie B Hawkins known best for her song, "Damn, I wish I was your lover". And I have to tell you I wish I was her lover. She was so awesome! Very down to earth, sweet and treated everyone like they were her good friends. And she was so HOT. She has a new double disc CD coming out and I highly recommend it.

Sunday, January 1, 2006 . What a way to start out my New Year. Flying home from Appleton, Wisconsin, Northwest made me check my carryon bag which had my laptop computer in it. They assured me it would be ok but when I arrived in Detroit they not only lost my luggage they also dammaged my laptop computer screen.
Boy does this suck. I hope the rest of my year gets better.
