Comedy and Updates
Updates have been slow in coming as I seem to have thrown all of my energy into doing stand-up comedy these days. It’s addictive in a way that no drug really is. I’ve been writing comedy for almost four years now but there’s nothing like a live crowd…especially in an environment where you can ask a 60 year old man if he’s ever shaved his balls and no one looks at you like you’re an asshole. It’s actually expected.
But don’t think I’ve forgotten about you internets; you’re my first true love. What with your ample supply of torrents, your never-ending pool of porno and your non-stop thirst for entertainment.
But first a couple of quick announcements.
I’ve started a “twitter” - the internet’s true answer to attention deficit disorder and an instant gratification complex. From what I can see it’s sort of like text messaging, but on the internet. Where blogs toned down the idea of story telling into bit sized tid-bits, twittering has broken it down even further into trial sized, individually wrapped snippets. Whatever it is, I have one, and if you want to follow me on twitter you can do so here.
In the vein of taking this comedy thing seriously I have opened a new myspace account. I’ll be going through and adding all of my friends from my other account and then, eventually, deleting the old one. You can find my new Myspace profile here.
Last thing and then you can prepare your face for a full frontal blast of dick and fart jokes. I’ve got a show coming up. I’ll be doing host work and stand up for two great bands - Keeping Score and Hooker Fight on July 5th here in Sacramento, CA. I’d like to thank my friend Jon for sending the show my way when he was unable to take the gig. It’s an all ages show with no cover - so you have no excuse, come out and see some live music and live comedy.
Cocksuckers.
And now, another video of me doing stand-up.
We’ll return to our normally scheduled programming soon.

dude, who knew the weird shit you say during smoke breaks could actually be turned into comedy?
i mean, its great and all to turn dreams into reality, but if you do everything now, you have no excuse to be bitter when you are older. everyone knows that happy old people are creepy.
in all seriousness, fuck you and your naturally suited for stand-up comedy balls.
ps….i would highly suggest changing your last name to “Levine” or “Goldstein” to gain some legitimacy.

Ah, nothing like talking to complete strangers about unwrapping the cash and prizes. That takes me back.

You told the story of reading Harry Potter! Oh how I’m afraid all that was real life stuff.

Since I’ve seen the pics of your brothers and your brief stint as Babysitter……I so fear for the future of this nation when you have kids.
