The Myer Soap Hour?!?!?!

Well a few months ago I was alot into my hobby/job. I loved watching Jeff Dunham. I was on http://www.netflix.com and I was watching Jeff and I found out about Jay Johnson, Senor Wences, Edgar Bergen, but most importantly, Jimmy Nelson. His albums 'Instant Ventriloquism and Ventriloquism for the beginner AND Ventriloquism 2' were on a site called Ventriloquism 101 with a now a good friend of mine, Lee Cornell. I purchased the album and got it about 5 days later. I went up to my room and was not seen for until dinner. I learned that to pronounce the letters or "the difficult alphabet" B F M P V W and Y you MUST think those letters. I found quickly that using the front press works too. My figure, George and I went to school and messed with everybody. So one of the class mates said "He looks like a rapist." George said  "Oh your a comedian HEH HEH HEH" and I started picking lint off my shirt and he said "Dont f*ck with the puppet d*ck" My teacher, instead of giving me detention, I looked over aaaaaaaand she was rolling on the floor. now that I've caught you up, I am gonna talk about more experiences

The store...

Well in my last post I said something changed my life. here it is. Go back a few years to my third grade year. August 2007 my brother had his friend come over and he showed me something I had never seen before. a guy called Jeff Dunham. I laughed and laughed, but you know, most people are like "haha thats funny" I said "I wanna do that for the rest of my life."  Winter 2008 Myrtle beach, SC. For those of you who have been to brodway on the beach, you know there is a magic shop. We walk in, the first thing I see is a soft MAT type puppet. I look at it in stunned amusement. Now, being jewish and a ventriloquist?? You can't do anything without being criticized. mom wants you to go to college, brother hates it, parents are tolerant,  AND money burns a hole in your pocket. are you kidding me?? nothing could make this worse!!! now mind you, no shows get booked, all you have is youtube to put your videos on!!! As for puppets? all I have to upgrade my act is birthdays and Hanukkah to get puppets!!!  ok, Back on track. Hanukkah 2008 my extended family aunts got me a puppet named George. now george Is my main guy. Now I have 4 total puppets. Billy Bob Joe, a sock puppet, George, my first puppet, AND Danny O' day and Farfel, 2 Jimmy Nelson figures. Next time? well lets just say a CD would make me popular...

Hey

Alright!!! I am back baby!!!! I was formerly known as metalmaniac and my blog was just a day in the life of an ordinary kid! but a few years ago something happened and it changed my life forever. this is my story
