Just Read This ONE Paragraph

Hmmmmmm

Nobody likes radical change, but in corporate America, it's sometimes necessary to survive. Except at the U.S. Postal Service, which tries to act like a corporation but inevitably struggles to keep up with the times. The Postal Service is an odd institution, an "independent establishment" of the government that nonetheless has to abide by rules that virtually force it to lose money. It has a CEO and an 11-person board of governors that functions like a board of directors. It files an annual financial report with the Securities and Exchange Commission, like any publicly owned company. Yet the law requires the Postal Service to deliver mail to every address in America at prices that often fail to cover costs. It's not allowed to lay off workers or close money-losing offices, and to make major changes it usually needs permission from Congress--which practically guarantees government-style inefficiency. - Rick Newman U.S. News

So, rumors are swirling around the internets that former Olympic Hero Hemp Stevens might, just might be attempting a comeback ... in pole-vaulting you ask? ... Certainly not!

This video surfaced on Hemp's website late Monday night and it appears he might be ready for a comeback in a VERY unique sport!!!

An Actual Conversation w/ my 2 year old

I just released the pressure sensitive step on the garbage.  The lid slowly closed as I side-stepped to the sink area of my kitchen when this transpired.

Emily:  Daddy?

Me: (spinning around to address her)
Yes Em?

Emily:  Daddy I smell poop.

Me: Well it wasn't me.

Emily:  Did you fart Daddy?

Me:  (taking in the air, questioning myself) 
I don't think so...

I take a step towards her and I'm hit with a wall of terribleness in my nostrils.

Me:  Emily did you fart?

Emily:  (proudly smiling)
Yes daddy, it was me.

Officially Made it! My fictional hero is helping to raise funds for a REAL family in need! #proud

For those of you who don't know, after I leave my mild mannered software selling self behind during the day, at night I become an evangelist for my indie comedy project "Hemp Stevens".  http://hempstevens.com for more detail.  This is THE dream, to get our comedy made by making the right connections, inspiring the right folks, and bringing to life what we KNOW is a huge hit waiting to be made.

Tonight on Long Island we are having another fundraiser (taking place in Deer Park, NY if anyone is interested in coming email me clinton@hempstevens.com) and this time it's different.  A local family's child was recently diagnosed with what continues to be a baffling disorder.  (For the family's sake, no more details) They need are help, so as part of our fundraising efforts we have decided to dedicate a nice portion of the overall evening's earnings to their foundation and fundraiser. 

Never thought when I started writing this script (years ago now) that a fictional character I was creating would be a powerful enough center of gravity to pull in so many people who care and because of this "gravity", we are able to raise money for a REAL family via a fictional character ... ain't America great?  I have no doubt our movie will be signed or greenlighted soon, but this is the watershed "proud" moment to date, and it was quite unexpected.  I'd like to thank that family for the opportunity to make this real ... We will do all we can to help and in the meantime, we're going to have a lot of fun doing it ...

Believe in the American Comeback ... Believe in Hemp Stevens!  If you haven't seen the Theatrical Trailer as of yet, be our guest!
