Yes, I am working at NBC Sports again today and I just ate saugsage (that extra 'g' in there is for 'GAS!') and ziti. MAN, It's not even 11:30 am and I'm hurting!
Not much else, last night was a quiet one for WADE. Watched PunchDrunk Love on DVD. I really enjoyed it!
June 28, 2003
With a new sponser comes... so comes more free food. Today we had grilled chicken sandwiches, pickles, olives, fruit salad, cole slaw and muffins. WOW! And that was for breakfast.
June 27, 2003
Many comedians from the show (Keith, Nick, Jim, Greg, and Ken) roasted Colin along with JERRY SEINFELD! YES! JERRY WAS THERE!
Very, very, very cool!
First off, George Carlin was on the show I work on (Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn) at Comedy Central yesterday. I got to meet him, talk to him, and then talk to him three other times. (no joke).
Here's what I have to say about him, I mean this guy is a legend. HE WAS THE NICEST GUY POSSIBLE. He was so down to earth and treated everyone on the show terrific!
I brought him some notes for the show, answered questions about the format, talked about the other famous Adam Wade (the black soul singer that he used to play when he was a disc jockey).
Colin Quinn (who I work for) then came into the room and he said some cool things about me to George (he didn't have to do that, that was also really neat!!!!).
Finally at the end of the show, George said, "Good luck Adam with the comedy."
I can't get the deli girl to remember my name that I've been going to for 5 years and this guy remembered me.
SUPER SUPER COOL!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Colin, and thanks George (Mr. Carlin).
I just got home. Will fill you in tomorrow!
It's all true!

I am currently eating a chocolate donut and fruit salad (FREE - thanks Comedy Central!).
The show at B3 went well last night, thanks for having me Becky D.
June 25, 2003
Today for work at Comedy Central I was honored to pick up Tuxedos for
George Carlin and Colin Quinn. So if you are flipping the channels and start watching Comedy Central some night, and you see both of them on your TV screen in Tuxdedos... well... WADE, this guy, picked those puppies up. And I am sure WADE will also have the distinguished honor of... returning the Tuxedos.
WADE IS THE GLUE THAT KEEPS COMEDY CENTRAL IN TACT (is that the word??)
June 24, 2003
a great show at the
B3 Comedy lounge 8pm
Hostess by the very, very funny Becky Donohue
B3 Downstairs 33 Ave B at Third St. -Take the F train to Second Avenue
I thought my performance was quite WADE***. Later on in the show I sat next to two pretty blondes. I said 'Hello" and asked them if they were there to see someone specific. They both shook their heads and DIDN'T SPEAK! I REPEAT DIDN'T SPEAK back to me, LORDY LORDY LORDY. Why? Nothing? I was just being friendly. Wow, COLD!
Thankfully not all girls are like that in Hoboken.
*** My act consisted of wishing that I worked at McDonald's with Supermodels and how my friend Jason Chillemi bought me a hotdog last year from off the street in NYC and how it made me... well, sick.
At Comedy Central we had free hotdogs and milk shakes! GOOD STUFF! I had a chocolate, then a vanilla one. Heartburn is upon me.
Worked out this summer and my gym. Not too many people there.
Happy birthday to my co-workers Ken, Robert and the great Sarah Taksler.

Today, about 4:20pm on 9th Ave and 56th Street I saw the announcer for Late Show With David Letterman. I think his name is Alan, but I got excited and I yelled, "Hey Red!" He gave me a dirty look as he crossed the street. I felt bad because I didn't know his name and just called him red because of his hair. So I yelled, "You're good, you're good." And I read his lips "A**hole." That's what he said. Or he could have said "Aye...so."
It's SUNNY! YEAH! And I'm working at Comedy Central. This morning I took a trip up to the Bronx to visit the EVERLAST BOXING PLACE (pick up some gear for the show I'm working on). Very interesting, lotta tough guys there. I was confident and tried not to act scared. I hit a few of the punching bags and the tough guys seemed impressed. WADE IS TOUGH, TOO. I still have a buzz about the 48 visitors on Friday, an all new record. Thanks again Kristen and Linda for getting the WADE name out there.

EXCLUSIVE:
WADE RE-ENTERS THE RANKS OF INTERNET DATING...
THEN NEW INTERNET PERSONAL AD GETS NO HITS...
WADE REANNOUNCES HIS RETIREMENT FROM INTERNET DATING!
"I thought I would give it one more chance... but due to the lack of interest in my comeback I am now officially retired from trying to meet Miss Right on the internet. " - WADE
The ad that got no hits:
Ladies, I went and worked out last night at my new gym! I'm a 28 year old, 5"10' man that has a few questions: How can you 'work it' at a gym full of hot girls and not look slimey? How can you 'work it' at a gym when you got a heart of gold but a bit of a husky bod (aka pretty toned with a baby beer gut)? How do you approach the girl who looks like a 22 year old version of Darryl Hannah with a huge butterfly tattoo on her back? That also looks like she can kick your ass? OR JUST PLAIN 'HOW DO YOU TALK TO LADIES AT THE GYM?' AND FINALLY... Are jumping jacks that uncool at the gym? (Cause I don't care... THE HULKSTER -me- LOVES THE JUMPING JACKS! and YES I CLAP MY HANDS WHEN I DO THEM.) Questions, questions questions... THIS GYM STUD/STALLION-me again- is looking for a toned gal that enjoys the outdoors and having a good time. ***Sorry, I am not into threesomes or foursomes. Sorry guys I just like girls!
Yep!
And I am off. So today is 'get stuff done day.'
It's already 1:30 and I haven't done zip!
Blah! Ate breakfast in Hoboken with comedy great... BRUCE CHERRY!
We talked about comedy and life and ate eggs and pancakes.
Now I gotta start doing stuff, I guess.
June 21, 2003
It's rainy/cloudy again today. I am working at NBC Sports (just ate a banana). Tonight I'm hitting the town with my friend Big Dave G., he is a tough guy who makes fun of me because one night, a few months ago, we were at a bar next to the CUPCAKE CAFE and I sort of snuck in the CAFE and ate a vanilla frosted CUPCAKE. I got caught and ragged on big time. I know it's not as manly as beer, but I LOVE CUPCAKES!
For Friday the 20th of June 2003 I had 48 visitors
THAT IS A NEW RECORD FOR THE SITE!
BRAVO! AND THANK YOU!
45 has been the former record for many months.
June 20, 2003
I just had a cheese steak at Piccolo's in Hoboken. I went with my good friend Teddy Coluca. Teddy will be in a Trojan Condom commercial coming out soon. He plays a balloon man. TEDDY, THANKS FOR BUYING ME THE CHEESESTEAK.
Jodi is the best. Thank you Jodi. Here it is:

Last night I hit a local pub by my house, and after a slow start of watching the Stanford College Baseball game, I ended up having a pretty good time.
A girl sitting at the bar next to me (Kristin, or Kristen) had problems with her new cell phone. I helped her with it and soon found myself playing against her in computer bowling (on the same phone). We started talking more and then...
SHE BOUGHT ME A BEER! WOW! SHAZAM! YEAH! WE-e-e-e-e-! MERCI! THANK YOU!
I thought that was very, very nice of her (before I could buy her and her friends each a drink... well yes... closing time).
Then it started raining like crazy and Kristen/Kristin's friend/roommate Lynda/Linda called for a cab. The dispatcher on the phone gave her a rough time and I felt for her. She was a bit shaken by his rudeness. Her other friend Amy/Aimee was focused on something else at that moment.
I gave them all flyers to my show on July 28th at Caroline's (I had a sad and bad dream last night that those paper flyers now lay on the damp floor of the cab or in the comfort of a garbage can in their apartment). Ah... what are you going to do? For a few hours they were very good company... You can't ask for more than that.
So Linda/Lynda, Aimee/Amy, and Kristen/Kristin thanks for the good times! Be well! And Kristin/Kristen keep sending your resumes out on a bi-weekily basis - you will be a talent booker for a big time entertainment show before you know it! Have a little faith.

How can you 'work it' at a gym full of hot girls and not look slimey?
How can you 'work it' at a gym when you got a heart of gold but a bit of a husky bod?
How do you approach the girl who looks like a 22 year old version of Darryl Hannah with a huge butterfly tattoo on her back? That also looks like she can kick your ass?
When is glancing.... staring at the gym?
AND FINALLY...
Are jumping jacks that uncool at the gym? (Cause I don't care... WADE LOVES THE JUMPING JACKS!)
I am eating a spicy cajun chicken burger right now. It is good.
Thank you for the free food Comedy Central.

I got a new gym pass and worked out a few times this weekend. My 'trainer' set my work out schedule and I have 10% body fat. He said I am in good shape beside the little beer belly. I said, "THAT'S ALL MUSCLE.'
It's a fairly new gym and a lot of hot ladies work out there. SUPER WADE! SUPER WADE!
I worked out early this morning and then had a egg and bagel. Today for lunch... grilled chicken.
SUPER WADE SUPER WADE!
Working atComedy Central. And It's sunny.
June 15, 2003
Guess what? He's still a jerk.
I am off today and plan to go now, grab a bagel and coffee, the NY Times and go read it outside and check out the sights.
Enjoy your day. I apologize that I've fetched many famous people coffee and I've failed to ever get you one.

She's fun in the sun
She's cool on a muggy day
Throw her a box of magic markers
She's so so so Monet
If she were a truck, she'd a red colored Ford
Four-wheel drive
Brand new chrome
She's got nothing to hide
She's got crackerjack eyes
And her heart is the prize
I got 75 cents
I'm honest I don't lie.
If I only didn't have
toilet paper hanging out of my pants
I know I would have had the chance
To romance
Crackerjack eyes
G'damn you toilet paper
Oh Crackerjack eyes

June 12, 2003
Not much else so far today. I had a great ice coffee today at

Busy, busy day. Worked hard and then hit my local pub for a grilled chicken sandwich and a couple of beers. I watched the Nets game, they beat the Spurs. Go Jersey. Ed, one of the best bartenders, put my flyer for my July 28th Caroline's show on the bar so people can see it. What a guy!!!!! From the bar seat you can't read all the writing but you see a photo of me with my arms in the air which means VICTORTY! and one name... 'WADE!' Bravo! Bravo Wade. The waitresses at this pub are really nice. One waves to me whenever I see her. A smile is great... but a big smile and a wave... YEAH! When a girl raises her arm, flings her hand and fingers in the air... then shakes 'em. WOW! That's something. That's everlasting! She didn't even wait on me and I felt the want (not the need to) to give her a big tip. WADE IS THE MAN! G'night all.
From Monday night... GLENN CLOSE in blue jacket and tight blue jeans in front of 'RENT' on 41st by the Port Authority, standing and talking to someone by a big black SUV.
I just came from band practice, and was headed for my bus.
I yelled... "You look great Glenn, you look great." I mean to compliment.
She turned and looked at me and said. "Billy?"
I was confused and said, "No, it's WADE!"
And then she goes, "Do, Do I know you?"
And I said..."Nope, but ya look great!"
She turned back around and that was that.
The show went well last night! THE ADAM WADE EXPERIENCE/ THE WADES sort of ROCKED the way they only can. Demetri Martin was terrific. Kevin Meany's off the cuff movie thrilled audiences. And the WADE movie shorts went over pretty good too.
Thanks to Bru for videotaping.
Thanks to Brandon and Louis at Carolines for letting us perform.
And thanks to Bridget, Jessica, Ellen, Sarah (Al), Amy C., Clareesa, Jenn Shacor, and Mike AND OF COURSE MY COUSIN, GREG POULOS, WHO TREATED US TO DRINKS AFTER THE SHOW!
Today free food and Comedy Central = VIRGIL'S BBQ! I had pork ribs, beef brisket, greens, slaw, hush puppies, mash pot, rice, AND FOR DESSERT... BANANA PUDDING!!!!!!!! HOLY MOLY WADE IS FULL!

Then I went and had pork chops at a local restaurant. THOSE WERE SOME GREAT CHOPS, INCREDIBLE!
The price of these chops... $11.39. And the bartender gave me a free Sprite! Good times!
Also there were no old ladies eating soup at the restaurant.

One of the reasons why I moved to NYC was to try to make art or contribute to the world stories that make people think, smile, and just look at the world a different way. I have many influences (people, songs, movies etc). One of my biggest influences was a TV show I used to watch reruns of on Saturday nights 6pm 7pm at my grandmothers (TV 38 WSBK TV BOSTON) with my brother Matt. IT was called THE WHITE SHADOW, when people commonly ask what I WANT TO DO IN TV/MOVIES/COMEDY, I tell them I want to do stuff like the WHITE SHADOW.
Feeling down. I found out the first girl I kissed is currently living in New Hampshire... married with two kids. TWO KIDS and one of them is..8 years old! I guess we will never get back together. I've got that Boyz To Men song 'End of the Road' in my head when I think of her and that sloppy kiss. Growing up is difficult.

Another cloudy day in NYC. Working at Comedy Central. Last night I ate out with my cousin Greg. We went to Angelo Maxies on 6th and 52nd St. We had Porter House Steaks (first time for me) as well as calamari (Had that few times before), salad, mashed potatoes (my favorite), and fried green things (kinda like french fries) and for dessert.... chocolate ice cream! And a couple of beers. IT WAS INCREDIBLE! GREG IS THE BEST!
Today all I've had is an ice coffee, but after writing this... I am starving! I am sweating. I need more good food!

This morning in the rain, Robert Redford sans umbrella looking into Starbucks on 40 something Street and Ninth Avenue. I softly said, "Bob?" And he looked over and I got scared and kept walking. I looked back at him and he was still glances in the window. Hope you found what you were searching for BOB!

It's been hours since WADE officially retired from internet dating and....
I just received an email from a girl named 'TAMMY' trying to help me by signing me up for
8 minute dating.
Thanks Tammy, but... I don't know if I am ready right now. I want to enjoy my retirement from internet dating a few weeks and then we'll see.
As part of an experiment to find a great girl... on the internet (on a site that doesn't have porn),
In the past two months WADE put not one but two ads on a TRI-STATE AREA PERSONALS WEBSITE.
The Results:
-One actual date. She was a bit older than me, nice, but no sparks, and no second date.
-A bunch of emails. Some very interesting, some a bit sick. And other than that... no match.
Words of Advice for people who plan on putting personal ads on websites in the future
I have no clue. It's worth a try.
WILL WADE PULL A MICHAEL JORDAN comeback?
You never know, never say never. But right now I gotta focus on not focusing on trying too hard to try to not look like I am trying too hard to find a nice girl that is pretty, and smart and has a good head on her shoulders and........
It's raining today and I ate a blueberry muffin (just a half) for breakfast.
