I'll leave graffiti where you've never been kissed.

About Me

I wish I could think of something clever and funny, but I'm drawing a blank. Instead I'll just provide you with some quick bullet points.
I like things that combine peanut butter and chocolate.
I am a huge guitar geek and love learning about guitar equipment.
I like soda pop - especially root beer. Dr. Pepper and Mr. Pibb are also invited to the party.
I want to climb Mt. Everest before I die.
I'm a vegetarian.
I think "The Wire" is the best television show ever made. I'm also pretty fond of "Arrested Development."
I find it helpful when Jaime Daly proof reads things I write.
If you want to add me as a friend please send a request to my main page www.myspace.com/travisclarkcomedy . This is just my civilian page. :)
Those are the bare essentials. If you have any other questions please see me after class.

Trippin' Out

A week and a half ago I got a call at 9 AM from my buddy Matt. "Get your stuff together - we're on the 2 PM flight to Boston." This came as a bit of a surprise. A few weeks prior my friend Matt tol...

Holiday Memories 06

Thanks For Giving

Going Out Into The World

Lately I have been staying inside a lot. By lately I mean most of this year. Turns out that's not good for you mentally or physically. One of the great thing about unemployment is that you can get out...

That Which Does Not Kill Me Makes Me Stranger

I've always heard that the older you get the more excentric you get. Well I didn't think that would be possible for me, but it's happened. I have officially gone from creeped out by spiders to a ful...

The Best Compliment

Kids will say anything. They have no filter so in my opinion they are the most honest. At my friends baby shower I met a pleasant 4-year old named Tabatha. While trying to convince her that I was t...

I Hate Me

This past Sunday was the closing night of Little Egypt - the play I've been running sound for. I've mentioned the play and this production of it to my brother a few times and he said he wanted to com...

Damn It

I finally started to practice my ass off regularly as well as study the fuck out of the guitar. For the first time since I picked up a guitar I actually grasp how music works. I understand relative mi...

Looking For A Party? Just Add Spiders.

I'm a bit of an arachnophobe. Late last night, while I was sitting at the computer, a spider jumped onto my leg. I sat there paralyzed as it jumped from my leg to the floor and then scurried away u...
