quick update

The look of this blog has changed over the past couple of days because I've added a few things. There's a picture of me throwing away a baby before I catch the bus, and if you look to you're left, you'll see that there's some links to other funny peoples sites/blogs. So check those out mutherfuckers. I'm still making some more changes, and the video page will be fixed later on tonight or tomorrow. So check back later on tonight or tomorrow.

Hiatus Over

If you routinely check this blog...

First, I want to apologize, you know, for all the things that -- that I haven't blogged about. When I said,"I'm gonna write a new post tonight!", I was not being honest and forthright. I am ashamed and totally disappointed in myself to say the least.

I want to apologize to all the young kids out there for my immature acts and, you know, what I did was, what I did was very immature so that means I need to grow up.

I totally ask for forgiveness and understanding as I move forward to bettering Kojo Mante the blogger, not the person.

I take full responsibility for my actions. For one second will I sit right here -- not for one second will I sit right here and point the finger and try to blame anybody else for my infrequent posts.

Irresponsible blogging is a terrible thing, and I didn't reject it.

I'm upset with myself, and, you know, through this situation I found Jesus and asked him for forgiveness and turned my life over to God. And I think that's the right thing to do as of right now.

I offer my deepest apologies to everybody out in there in the world who was affected by my non-blogging situation. And if I'm more disappointed with myself than anything it's because of all the young people, young kids that I've let down, who look at this website. And to have to go through this and put myself in this situation, you know, I hope that every young kid out there in the world reading this blog right now, will use me as an example to why everyone shouldn't have a blog.

Once again, I offer my deepest apologies to everyone. And I will redeem myself. I have to.

I've had a lot of down time since the last post. A lot of time to think about my actions and what I've done and how to make Kojo Mante a better blogger.

Thank you.

sorry about the lack of posting, and schedule updates, but I will be at the DC Improv, with a whole host of other funny people, this coming Tuesday May 29th. If you wanna get tickets just go to www.dcimprov.com and they should be selling them.

Come to the DC Comedy Fest April 12-14th

There's nothing worse than when Hollywood takes a successful television program and adapts it into a full length feature film. They did it with Dukes of Hazzard, Miami Vice and now there back at it again.

When I saw the previews for "Perfect Stranger" I knew that I had seen enough. This thriller stars Bruce Willis and Halle Berry. Berry plays a journalist who goes undercover to expose Willis, a business man, as her best friend's killer.

None of the elements from the original show are in the movie. It's set in New York instead of Chicago; they got rid of Balki and Larry; and the plot isn't even remotely the same. Perfect Strangers was nominated for 3 emmy's during the 7 years it was on television. That's the kind of success you don't fuck with Hollywood!

I know I'm gonna be banned from every entertainment venue in the counrty for speaking the truth and taking it to "The Machine", but I don't care. It's my life, my dream, nothing's gonna stop me now. (harmonica riff plays then keyboard, roll credits)

Last night at Soho, Jon Mumma's closer made me laugh so hard I cried. Today when I realized that he's never going to do that closer again because it involves breaking the stage, I cried.

All the important information is located in the title.

I gave up blogging for Lent

Alot has happened since my last post, so lets talk about it. Forest Whitaker and Jennifer Hudson won Oscars, and NBA Allstar Weekend happened in Las Vegas. I think it's safe to say that Black History Month ended in a draw. Oh, and Obama is still articulate.

I'm selling my 12" Apple Powerbook G4. Finding the right computer for your needs can be a long arduous process. So to help speed it up, I've taken the time to answer a few FAQ below.

Will this computer make me cooler?
Yes, this laptop transforms any room you enter into a hip coffee shop that has expensive WI-FI and a guy riffing on jazz bass!

How much memory does it have?
Yes, it will spin straw premises into comedy gold!

You didn't answer my last question.
The first Bible was infact written on this particular machine. So yes, God does prefer a Mac to a PC!

Ok you did it again. Why would I buy this computer if your not going to give me straight answers to my questions?
-Buying this computer will put an end to global warming and the war in Iraq, so yes it is a viable alternative energy source that will get us off our dependence on foreign oil!

If you're interested, you can contact me directly by coming to see me perform live. Bring cash.

If you see Tim Miller, ask to borrow his DVD of Team America World Police. When he gives it to you, give it to me. That way I'll finally get back my DVD of Team America World Police which he borrowed in March of 2006. That's right Tim! Don't think you can borrow something form me and not return it without the 10 people who read this blog finding out about it. Seriously though, can you watch it this weekend and give it back?

Sound the Drumms!!

The votes have been tallied and the winner of my 1st ever Blog Title competition is STEVE DRUMM (applause)!!!!!! First runner-up/loser honors go to Tyler Richardson (less applause, but still a respectable amount of applause). Thanks to all who participated (Steve and Tyler). Steve, not only will I re-name my last post with your winning title, but I will also buy you a free beer next time we're at Dremo's or Topaz! Steve's submission captured the essence of my blogging habits and that was why the International Blogging while Logging and Oreo Gobbling Syndicate honors you. On behalf of I.B.L.O.G.S., congratulations Steve.

Lazy...(title written by Steve Drumm, Blog written by Kojo Mante)

Thanks to everyone who came out to The Reef to watch and perform Comedy yesterday. Last night was pretty much the direction that we want to take the show, so if you came out and you enjoyed it, please tell some friends, and we will continue to change it up and do lots of different stuff for ya'll. And I'm aware that this paragragh is only going to cater to 7 people.

I came up with an amazing cartoon jingle while writing this very sentence about amazing cartoon jingles. If anyone knows a really good animator or one of those Pixar guys, send them a link to this blog. This jingle is so innovative that it should probably never be made into an actual show or movie. Claymation will work as well for this idea.

If anyone is looking for a job, I know of a position opening up in early April. The applicant must be professional and have a background in animation or claymation.

Did you notice that this blog has no title?!?! Well thats because my first ever blog title contest begins today! Contestants can submit their blog titles using the comments feature. There is no limit on the number of titles a person can submit. I will then select a winner and repost this same blog with the winning title. The winner will also recieve the title of "Champion Blog Titler". If no one enters this contest, than this was a poor decision on my part.
