mitch's journal

January 21, 2004
Man, I wait way to long to write new journals. These journals seemed so much easier to write when I started them. Now every day people write me “you need a new journal, you need a new journal!” It’s so much pressure because I always feel they have to be funny. I guess I could just update you on my life but nothing much happens except every now and than someone recognizes me, which is kind of cool. Like the other day I was walking out of the post office and some weird looking guy goes “Mitch Fatel” so I stare at him baffled, trying to figure out where I know such a freaky looking guy and finally I say “I’m sorry I don’t remember who you are?” and he says “Oh I’m just a fan” and I was like “Oh, okay…well you’re not going to follow me home are you?” It’s weird when someone knows you who you don’t know, weird and cool but mostly weird.

I’m writing you from North Carolina where I just performed atNorth Carolina Panthers UNC and was very happy to see that an entire sorority was sitting in the front row. They even asked me to take a picture with them and of course I did because I want to make every guy in America jealous. It’s pretty cool to have a bunch of hot sorority girls ask you to take a picture with them when 12 years ago when I was in school the only thing sorority girls asked me to do was to stop staring at them. It’s particularly cool to be in North Carolina this week because coincidentally next week I’ll be interviewing the Carolina Panthers who made it to the Superbowl!

This is my second Super Bowl I’m covering which is really incredible. I know I’m supposed to act like this is no big deal but I’m shitting bricks about it. The first one I had nothing to lose and it was great, but now everyone including the NFL is like “We can’t wait to see the 2nd since the first was so good blah blah” and I act all serious like “Well I hope it’s good” and everyone is like “Good, forget good it’s going to be great!” and I’m like “You betcha” which is weird because never in my life have I ever said “You betcha” I have said “What’s good for the goose is good for the gander” but never “you betcha” I don’t really have many sayings, I am very excited that I’m now using the one “I’d like to hit that” which I think means I’d like to have sexual intercourse with that woman, it makes me feel like I’m cool and hip when I say it whereas “You Betcha” makes me feel kind of silly.

Speaking of hitting stuff, Bluefish is really psyched because I’m taking him to the Superbowl with me. Man he owes me. He’s just really lucky he was so nice to me in High School when no one else would talk to me. I'm really happy because his wife gave him the go-ahead to go with me for the whole week. Her name is Yee, she is Thai. She’s an incredible baker so I’m going to give her business a plug for letting Bluefish go with me. It’s “Somelikeitsweet.com” I don’t think it’s totally up yet but she’s starting to sell her pastries online and trust me they’re incredible. My personal favorite are her Ginger cookies. Okay enough kissing up just buy her fucking cookies so she’ll let Bluefish go with me to more stuff.

I’m also in the middle of mixing my CD which is really funny. It’s tough work doing that, much tougher than I expected. Just like everything else in the world once you start doing it you realize it’s so much harder than it looks. We taped 4 shows in Minnesota and now I have Webboy Jason editing it all together. It should be a pretty kick ass CD when it’s done. Also, make sure you check out my new feature “joke of the week” located in the “Hot and Fresh” section. Web boy and his assistant Tyson did a great job putting it together. I can honestly say I think I now have the best website ever.

Velveeta and shells I just saw a really cool film called “Auto Focus” it was about Bob Crane who was Hogan in Hogan’s Heroes. That was like my favorite show as a kid, that and Mork and Mindy. Anyway, turns out this guy Bob Crane, who seemed so normal on the show was a sex addict. I think I may be a sex addict because it’s all I think about. Actually, sometimes I think about Velveeta and shells which is probably my second favorite thing next to sex. It’s not something I can explain, it’s just very cheesy and it makes me feel sexy. My fantasy is to have an orgy in a vat of Velveeta and shells and then every time I open my mouth I get a shell in my mouth. I gotta tell you, if you’ve gotten this far in my journal and you’re still reading I really think you are odd, it’s just so not relevant in today’s world. I wonder if Saddam Hussein checks my journal, that would be cool if he’s like “I won’t tell you any secrets, but by the way you have to check out” joke of the week” it’s quite hysterical and makes getting captured not seem as bad."
