About Me

I was voted America's Funniest Contest Boycotter 2008! I often wonder why it's not Unihorn? I think that if you're going to buy an electric car, spend the extra money and get a cordless. I grew up in Iowa. I drive a Dodge Stealth with no muffler on it. My life is full of irony. I rented the movie Cinderella man and it had to be back by midnight. I believe every zoo is a petting zoo, if you're fast enough. If not, it's a biting zoo. I was born in a 65 Chevy on the way to the hospital. Annoying, it would be, I think, to have a friend, who structured sentences, like Yoda. I went to a college. I am testing a theory that any pie is a pie chart of how much pie you have left. I have A.D. something something (Abreviation Deficit Disorder). I used to drive a train. I hate to work, but I absolutely refuse to take it off my resume, because I'm honest. I like my browns hashed. I went to a different college. I entered an amateur male stripper contest but was disqualified for wearing 3 socks. I worked in a cubicle. I told two girls I just got out of the Priesthood, and they bought it. I had my own business. I went through Taco Bell drive-thru naked (twice). I think Bonsai Tree Lumberjack would be an easy/fun job. I went broke. I started doing comedy. I get encouraged to do the same stuff I used to get fired/dumped/arrested/sued/grounded/expelled for. And no, I will never grow up and/or change for you. The end.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

People that: only brush their teeth on the inside, because you don't care what other people think. Don't bring a swimsuit to a pool party, on purpose. Go to Petco and try out the chew toys. Learned to throw your voice so you could ruin a mime's career. Are part of a complete breakfast when paired with juice, toast and milk. Talk into your cell phone like it's a paper cup and a string, intentionally. Wish your dog had a thumb so he could call you. Find a dry spot and laugh at the stupid faces people make when they run to their car in the rain. Know how to sell a used For Sale sign. Get crazy and not label your freezer bags. Catch yourself staring at people cause they're so damn paranoid. Hate answering questions by applause at a comedy show. Walk into a restaurant, put on a clip-on tie and kick people out for no reason.

Word Count to Your MOther (Use of upper case "O" intentional)

Seasonal Irony or I Know Why the Stanhope Sings.

Am I thinking about this too much?

  I sometimes misspell the word "subconsciously", But I don't know why. Am I trying to tell myself something?
