Day 365 of 365


• Day 365 of 365

And so it is here, our 1 year anniversary for Top of the Bottom Pile! 365 days have come to us through a long, but fun, journey. Where are we now in comparison to 365 days ago!? Oh the stories we can tell you. An idea to gather a few comedians and work as a business was our goal. Step one was accomplished. Next, we designed a Brand to market and get into the public eye. Top of the Bottom Pile was born. Finally, but still far from least, we set out to network with everyone and anything. Including signs, light post and garbage cans. Of course on occasion any person we met had more to say than signs, light posts and one garbage can.

Us three monkeys are pushing forward into a second year of possibilities. With a tour being finalized, and some other interesting things in the works, Top of the Bottom Pile came around to make our goals a success. Work together beyond being associated with one another. There is more in working as a team than just being a name among names. Each member has a strong value about them. A skill that helps push Top to the next level. Those involved on Top benefit from each person putting in hard work. I am proud to be among the few willing to work as hard as we all do. These guys took a chance on an idea that was lost on arrogance, jadedness and tunnel vision of others.

365 days, man, that time went and gone. Yet, we all continue to move forward. Look back at your own year. What did you want to accomplish, and what have you accomplished? These are questions you should be asking yourself. Can you change the outcome of your life? What about the life's of others? Just because you are one person doing comedy, doesn't mean you have no friends. Our motto; Support the supporters! So much more can change in this business if so many of us stand together. Are you good enough to be the best of the worst? Do you want people to look at you and be their second best choice? There is a beautiful place awaiting us all on the Top Of The Bottom Pile!!!

The few Devils we see


• The few Devils we see

There is an old biblical saying “The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he doesn't exist...” How powerful of a statement? What if we look at it bit by bit? Imagine what power Lucifer would have if he could truly get us all to believe he doesn't exist? Then he could come and go as he sees fit. Having power over all of us, while talking directly with us. That's a lot of power to give anyone. Belial could be your friend; actions you make; family members; Cop; Lawyer (The Devil's Advocate) is a great example. Now, to me, this is far from a religious thought. As religious as I am, I personally do not believe in the Devil. However...

This statement is truthful on multiple levels. Look at yourself as the Devil. Even your lack of actions as a Devil. Entertainers are really great at two things; A) Being filled with a deep Ego and B) Being the first to put themselves down to the point of not believing in themselves. That must be some battle inside a person. Thinking you are so amazing that people should just want your artistic expression, yet on occasion, that same artist of entertainment feels they could always do better. That, the work they are showing you isn't good enough. Entertainers become their own Devil doing these two things. Pushing people away till they want nothing to do with us simply by thinking we are awesome, or have no faith in our ability is scary.

If you don't believe in yourself than how can anyone else? Giving your surrounding world a gift to want nothing to do with you manifests with your attitude. I was once immersed in music entertainment. It was my life; I knew nothing else. Then I began seeing what it all was. In an art form designed for your ears, no one was listening to anyone but their own voice. No one cared about anything but themselves. I have an extremely deep, and painful, love/hate relationship with music now. Dealing with musicians, even any entertainer. It saddens me greatly when I am directly witness to an “Entertainer Ego”. The ideals these people have. We are in this together, yet so many people push others away. I want to know there is hope.
