HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY COUSIN, GREG POULOS!
Greg lives in Boston and visits me quite a often when he has business trips to NYC. Greg is the best! He was the only guy in high school to dunk a basketball during a 'real' game.

Me, yes, I dunk... donuts.

WADE TALKS TO GIRL, SAY'S 'GOOD BYE!':
Yeah, I just got back from working out.
Treadmill 3.9 mph 30 minutes
Bench Press 3 sets 10 reps (80 lbs) - lame!

I think I pulled my neck again doing the old bench press.

A pretty girl that works at the gym checked me out twice while I was riding on the treadmill. As I left she checked me out again (what I mean by this is... she looked at me) I said, "Good Bye."

I am the biggest stud in Hoboken!!!!!

Jealous?

ADAMWADE.COM

What's worse than getting rejected at a bar?

Getting rejected on Friendster.

It was 'one' but one is more than none.

Yes, I am sad, because... I thought I would have a chance at being this person's Friendster.

THE EXCITING THINGS WADE WILL DO ON HIS DAY OFF (HIS MINI WEEKEND)

1) Laundry!
2) Take some asprin (see last night's post)
3) Take a long walk
4) Get an Italian Tuna sub at Fiore's

Wow.
Mercy!


|


WADE IS NOT DRUNK RIGHT NOW HONEST:
I DID NOT JUST HAVE 5 1/2 beers.

When you talk to girls at a bar should you walk away when...

1) They high 5 you
2) Look around constantly while you try to talk to them
3) You say to yourself, "f-n-a, I got too much going for me."

FREE LUNCH WAS SOOOO SOOO GOOD!:
Free lunch was pizza from John's (awesome pizza)
I had three slices (didn't eat the crusts), and alotta salad (the diet!)

Then we had our Director, Scott Preston 's birthday party Sundae Spectacular.
Happy birthday Scott.

Scott didn't eat his premade sundae with all the fixins and there was a long line to get to the ice cream... so... I asked him if I could have his. HE SAID, "Sure Wade!" What a class act. Bravo Scott. It was a terrific sundae.

I feel bloated, but I feel like a million bucks.

ADAMWADE.COM

AND WADE THOUGHT HE HAD PROBLEMS:

According to IMDB.COM

Britney Spears has been romantically linked to a new man - who has a seven- months pregnant girlfriend. The 22-year-old singer - who hit headlines last year when reports emerged she was dating her married back-up dancer and father-to-be Columbus Short - has now been linked to dancer Kevin Federline, 22, who has a two-year-old daughter and a son on the way with former Moesha star Shar Jackson.

WADE THINKS:

I'm sure I'm not with anybody right now. I'm sure I'm not anybody's daddy, or daddy to be. And I'm sure I STILL have no chance with BS no matter how low her career/image gets.

Maybe that's a good thing.
But then again, maybe not.


|


ADAMWADE.COM

WADE DOES NOT GET DONUT TODAY!:
Wow, I went into a Dunkin Donuts, got an ice coffee and... WANTED a chocolate frosted donut, BUT DIDN'T get it!

Will-power and the WADE DIET once again begins.

BRAVO!

SUNNY DAY IN NYC:
I wish every day could be like today. Sunny and in the 60s.

DISASTER DINNER -WADE STYLE!:

Tonight I did a show at Piano's on Ludlow Street. I had a great time, it was a fun show. I took the PATH train back to Jersey, and I just made the train. WHAT LUCK! Especially on a Sunday!!!!

Back in Hoboken, I picked up a grilled chicken salad at the PITA GRILL -WAY OVER-PRICED, but healthy! I ASKED FOR NO DRESSING (I bought my favorite... Wishbone Red Wine vinaigrette and had it home.. chilled, in my fridge.)

So I lay everything out, it's 10:15 pm, I'm starving and...
The salad dressing spews out (the whole g'damn thing) all into my salad.
Now, I've spent 10 buck for this, I could cry.

So I just... ate it like it was. Chicken salad soup.

I am sad right now.

OH BUT WAIT, WADE'S NOT DONE!:

I just got the nicest email I've received in months... from my cousin Cary in Connecticut. Thanks Cary, you made my night better and less sad and pathetic. You made me smile!

ADAMWADE.COM

IT'S MY SINUSES!.... NO, I MIGHT JUST BE HUNG OVER:

I didn't pound any beers last night. I repeat, I didn't pound any beers last night. I did not act like I was 18 years old in Richie and Chuckie Charpentier's basement. I would never think to relive those glory days and POUND BEERS!

I'm Nurse Wade, I nurse my beers. I am an adult. I didn't have 6 beers last night. Nope. It did not happen. I don't have a hangover, it's my sinuses. Those darn sinuses. Shots? Nope! I didn't have three shots of Soco and Lime. Nope. Not me. I'm not writing this post in my underwear (at 1:35 pm). No!

The girls at Dunkin donuts didn't laugh at me today when I tried to order an ice coffee and had trouble with my pronunciation because I was somewht sleepwalking (a half an hour ago). No! That could not be!

I'm lying (whoa),
TWO WHOOPEE PIES, really, I ate two. (guilt feeling, I'm looking down on my expanding gut.)
I'm not happy with myself.

ADAMWADE.BLOGSPOT.COM WEBSITE DOWN VISITORS:

I'm not drinking it until I consistantly get back to 60 visitors a day. (NO JOKE)
I AM THE GHANDI OF WEBLOGS.

(Haven't had apple juice in 2 days, AND YOU KNOW HOW I LOVE TE JUICE).

2) WADE gets to be in a PT ANDERSON movie (where he makes out with a hot actress), gets nominated for Golden Globe, countless offers from hip directors to be in their movies, is not recognizable to most people despite indie fame.
3) WADE gets a chance to be creative and pay his bills.

ADAMWADE.COM

WADE ROCKS WAL-MART!:
Yes, I made my yearly trip to a WAL-MART today. I bought a cutter block for my electric shaver (which keeps me looking youthful).

(I am not a Reminton man, I am a Braun guy!)

It took me ten minutes to find the SHAVING PRODUCTS. Each person working there was very nice but would just DIRECT ME TO... ANOTHER WAL-MART EMPLOYEE!

I had to pee really bad and went into the WAL-MART restroom and... well they should stock up on the GLADE ROOM FRESHNERS 'INSIDE' THE RESTROOMS!

Yes, someone (or some animal/savage beast went potty ALL OVER the WAL-MART bathroom).

Needless to say... I did not attempt to spend more than 3 seconds of my life in the WAL-MART restroom and 'HELD MY PEE'.

So I purchased my cutter block shaver thing (rip off), and as I left... of course... the alarm goes off and this little lady (not the WAL-MART 'GREETER', BUT RATHER THE WAL-MART 'SEE YA LATER' PERSON, checked my bags and my receipt so carefully that I wished our HOME LAND SECURITY could be as good.

Upon passing INSPECTION I headed to the exit, the ALARMS WENT OFF AGAIN (VERY LOUD THIS TIME) and continued to walk out with my head up and bladder full to capacity.

WADE FEELING A BIT TIRED!
Time for bed! I am a bit tired. I worked very hard today at work (early in, early out!)

Sinuses are acting up just a tad.

Cleaned my apartment tonight and made my new laptop into a mini desktop!

I connected my keyboard to it. Makes things easier for me, honest and they way I had my laptop before would cause a stiff neck.


|


WADE WORD OF THE WEEK- 'PISTASHIOS':
Today we have free 'pistashios' at the TV studio.

My boss Jessica just said, "Wow, Wade, you really love pistashios, don't you?"

Whenever I used to go to my grandmother and aunt's house I'd eat 'pistashios'.



|


WADE'S WACKY DREAM LAST NIGHT:

I was golfing with Tony Soprano at the Derryfield Country Club in Manchester, NH. We were driving in a blue Jeep (with the top down) instead of a golf cart.

Suddenly we were mini-golfing and Pam Anderson was working there selling sandwiches and hot dogs, and then she turned into Charlie McArthy (the dummy). Tony and I started smoking cigars. The high school marching band's bus was parked by the 18th hole (mini golf) and they were doing 'warm-up exercises'. Tony missed his putt and I made mine.

Jimmy Rogers, from NBC Sports interviewed me for winning. He was wearing a big baseball cap that was twice the size of his head and the brim of the cap was like a duck's bill. I towered over Jimmy Robert's and in an act of kindness gave him the keys to my red mop-ed cycle.

Then... I started talking to Natalie Portman at the 19th hole while I nursed a 'Bud Light'. Just as I was about to ask her out...


I WOKE UP!

WADE IS TIRED, YAWNS TOO MANY TIMES, LEAVES BAR BEFORE MIDNIGHT:
Happy Easter, I'm going to bed.

PS The girl that looks like Cher (as in Sonny and Cher circa 1969) was at the bar. She was there, she left, and then showed up again 30 minutes later in another outfit. That is so... Cher-like!

JOCK TALK:
1) Pedro is pitching a 2 hitter and the Red Sox can get any runs.
THEY SUCK!

2) Every Yankee fan hates Pedro. We'll see how much they hate him next year when he's wearing pin stripes.

3) Does Wade know baseball? In my fantasy baseball league I am in 10th place out of 12 teams.

alas, JOCK TALK!

YOU'RE ON THE COVER OF SOMETHING ONE WEEK, THE NEXT... WELL, BACK TO THE FACTORY, WADE:

This is so true so I wanted to put the lyrics to an old song I love... and I fully realize I'm on the cover of 'Current' and Not 'Rolling Stone', but does it really matter? I say 'no'!

Artist: Hook Dr.
Song Title: Cover Of The Rolling Stone
Album Lyrics:

(ah ha ha� I don�t believe it... � hey Ray, hey Sugar, tell �em who we are�)

Well, we big rock singers, we got golden fingers, and we�re loved everywhere we go.
(That sounds like us)
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth at ten thousand dollars a show.
We take all kind of pills to give us all kind of thrills but the thrill we�ve never known
Is the thrill that�ll getcha when you get your picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone.

Rolling Stone � wanna see my picture on the cover-
Stone- wanna buy 5 copies for my mother-
Stone- wanna see my smilin� face
on the cover of the Rolling Stone.
(That�s a very good idea�)

I got a freaky old lady name a� Cocaine Kitty who embroiders on my jeans.
I got my poor old gray-haired daddy
drivin� my limousine.
Now it�s all designed to blow our minds
but our minds won�t really be blown
like the blow that�ll getcha when you get your picture on the cover of the Rolling Stone.

Rolling Stone- wanna see our pictures on the cover-
Stone- wanna buy 5 copies for our mothers-
Stone- wanna see my smilin� face
on the cover of the Rolling Stone.

ROCK AND ROLL!
(Aw, that�s just beautiful)

We got a lotta little teenage blue-eyed groupies
who do anything we say.
We got a genuine Indian guru
who�s teachin� us a better way.
We got all the friends that money can buy
so we never have to be alone.
And we keep getting� richer but we can�t get our picture
on the cover of the Rolling Stone

Rolling Stone- wanna see my picture on the cover-
Stone- wanna buy 5 copies for my mother-
Stone- wanna see my smilin� face on the cover of the Rolling Stone.

On the cover of the Rolling�
Wanna see my picture on the cover-
wanna buy 5 copies for my mother-
wanna see my smilin� face on the cover of the Rolling Stone.

(Man, I can see it now� there we are� on the front, smilin��.)

WADE FEELS GOOD!
Kudos are great, and when they come from my dad... well, it's 'greater.'

(he's a grammar guy so I think he'd appreciate this sentence and its flaws - I promosie to pick up E.B. White's Elements of Style sooner than later.)

______________
Congratulations Adam; Mom and I are so proud of you. Growing up with me as your father should provide you with enough material for your humor for your entire career. It seems like just yesterday when you drove me to shout, "Go to bed" after pleading with you for an hour so I could watch Masterpiece Theater in solitude. "Dad, there is one more thing I have to tell you." "Could I just tell you one more joke, Dad?" And now it has been six years since you and your brother have left the house to pursue your careers and each passing day realize how much I miss the dialogue and humor of both of you in those days seemingly way back when. Keep up the good work! Love, Dad

It's cloudy and the sinues are acting up again.

WADE FEATURE ARTICLE IN 'CURRENT' NEWSPAPER NOW ON-LINE

'The Wade Movement'
Comedian takes his act from small town to big city to Hoboken
Sonia Andresson
Current staff writer 04/01/2004
__________________________________

Like many aspiring actors and comedians before him, Adam Wade, 28, left his small-town home to try his luck in the big city. He started as an NBC page, brushing elbows with Regis Philbin and Tom Brokaw, and has since nabbed some camera time on Saturday Night Live and Late Night with Conan O'Brien.

Born and raised in New Hampshire, Wade has eased his big city blues by living in Hoboken for the past year. "I have been able to get a fan base in Hoboken," said Wade. "It's a great community, people are doing different things, and people are willing to watch [my shows]." Wade owes his popularity in Hoboken to the young crowd that gets out and watches his show Monday nights at O' Donoghues on First in Hoboken.

In March, Wade performed at Rodeo Ristra Lounge on Washington Street in Hoboken, and in the past performed at renowned New York clubs, like Carolines, 'Eating it' at Luna Lounge and the Gotham Comedy Club. "He's really the most original comedian since Jerry Seinfeld, because his style of comedy is really refreshing," said Jonathan Accarino, who met Wade at NBC. "His comedy stories have elements of truth that come from his real life experience, which make his comedy real and unique."
Aside from sharing a first name and home state, Wade is often compared to Adam Sandler for his personal and musical comedy.
Wade said it is a compliment to be compared to such a successful comedian like Sandler. But the comedian that gave him his first break was Colin Quinn.

"[Quinn] actually wanted to see a tape of mine. It was a very kind gesture and he watched the tape and went over it with me in detail," Wade said. "For someone in his position and level of experience, this was priceless."

A graduate of Keene State College in New Hampshire, Wade first came to New York on an internship with 20th Century Fox. He paid the rent waiting tables at Virgil's Barbeque in Times Square where he worked for eight months. "I had no contacts when I got here," said Wade. "[The staff at Virgil's was] my first family in New York."

Wade was driven to move to New Jersey by a co-worker at Virgil's who lived in Fairview. Wade lived in Fairview for four years before moving to Hoboken.

"Hoboken is perfect for a small-town person like myself," said Wade, who enjoys the mom and pop businesses and running into the same people everyday. Hoboken is not just a place to live, but an inspiration for new material. In his latest show at Carolines, Wade shared his experience of living in a basement apartment in Hoboken and dating. His new Hoboken material focuses on people's unwillingness to curb their dogs during the snow-filled months. "I hope they enforce the dog curbing. I ruined two pair of sneakers," said Wade.

Currently Wade is working in TV production for Comedy Central's Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn and freelancing for Late Night with Conan O'Brien, but he is seeking something more creative for the future. His goal is to turn his avocation of acting, writing and comedy into his vocation.

Wade has managed, however, to step from behind the camera with a part in Dana Carvey's sketch for the church lady on Saturday Night Live, which used rapper Eminem's video motif of multiple "Real Slim Shadys." Wade was one of the "real" church ladies. "Everybody looked the same, but I tripped over a desk, so my parents could pick me out," said Wade smiling. "It was a non-speaking part, but I was right in front." But now, he has another gimmick to help him stand out. The Wade t-shirt is his trademark and he wears it on stage for self-promotion. He started wearing a t-shirt with Wade in large black letters on it about six months ago. Because there are so many comedians out there, Wade figured the t-shirt would help him stand out.

"People in New York and Hoboken wear them," said Wade proudly calling it the "Wade Movement." The movement has even gone as far as the Comedy Central casting crew, who also wear Wade's t-shirt. Aside from humorous, Wade is also very modest, which is something he takes very seriously. As an NBC page, he always admired the celebrities who took the time to give him a word of advice. Working as a page allowed Wade to meet a number of celebrities, as he worked greeting them at the door. He said people like Regis Philbin, Steve Martin, Henry Winkler and Larry David stood out, because they were genuinely nice. "You don't have to be a jerk to be successful. I admire something like that," said Wade.

But his storytelling skill is not something he picked up from the big boys in showbiz, but from his father. Wade's father - a middle school principal and Lt. Colonel in the army - always had humorous stories to tell.
Another source of inspiration for Wade are his high school years in New Hampshire, which have resulted in a number of skits, including his most recent one at Rodeo Ristra called "Pengiun" - a musical, featuring poetry and storytelling.
"Everybody in high school was cocky, I didn't want to be like that, so I started walking with my head down like a penguin," said Wade. "People called me penguin boy, it bothered me, but in college I embraced it as being myself."

This idea of individuality sets the tone for Wade's show, which focuses on how he took pride in being Adam Wade and not everyone else.
"He's a really endearing character whose comedy is all about his life," said Jeremy Gould, set coordinator for Tough Crowd. "His comedy is him being him, but just a more amplified version of him." Wade's advice to other comedians is to get up on stage as much as possible.
"It's almost like surfing. To see if you can keep [the laughter] going," said Wade. "It's making personal things universal."

Wade is now working on three projects, which include Penguin, Visions of Melanie - an autobiographical look at his last year living in New Hampshire and first years in New York and Wade Wildcard Wednesday - that's about the time he got to dictate what his whole office ate for Wednesday lunch at Comedy Central's Tough Crow.

His next show is on April 5 at 8:45 p.m. at Acme Underground, 9 Great Jones St., NY.

For more information about Wade, visit ADAMWADE.COM, which features his movie shorts from Carolines's film festival, a daily blog and Adam Wade Coffee Hall of Fame - with pictures of famous people Wade has gotten coffee for over the years, including MC Hammer and Tom Brokaw. There's also a link to the Hoboken St. Anne's Festival at the beer tent where Wade performs.

WADE IS THE PUSH-UP KING:

FREE FOOD TODAY AT COMEDY CENTRAL GETS 4 STARS:
John's Pizza was AWESOME!

WHAT WAS OMITTED IN THE ARTICLE ON WADE IN 'CURRENT'?:
"The two guys who really stand out in my mind as far as being comic masterminds... I mean these guys are almost TOO funny, I'm talking about Jimmy Devito and Randy Peichage. They are two of the greatest audio people in the TV biz, but... they are godsends to the genre known as 'COMEDY'. They are also the two most humble people I've ever met."
