Why shoot the breeze about it when you could be about it?

About Me

Bonjour! Je suis Nick! I am a standup comedian who reads from a book(or as I call it, 'the book') onstage and is blue--material wise, as well as in the soul. I freelance write for a living, so pay me to write something if you'd like to. Also, I sing in a "garage punk rock" band group that creates tunes. We are called Brutal Knights. I am on this because I LORVE acquaintances. They're just like friends, except they require no upkeep and don't need to be relied on, except to say hello when they see you on the streets, or to pay for events you are putting on because they're not comfortable asking you to get in free. Also, I live in Toronto and enjoy pretending to enjoy partying down, but actually slipping out early and napping. Mostly I like to make laffs.

Vote for my wish....

I discovered the Robinhood fund awhile ago, and I like it. It helps people. They give away money based on votes. I made a wish for $500 because I'm going on tour with my band Brutal Knights soon and w...

Don't you miss my writing?

I know I do. I've been too busy failing at life to write. Always a shame when that happens. By the way, I think a homeless guy sneaks into my mouth every time I go to bed. Anyway, I have some reviews...

The Good Times

Why must time fly so fast? I'm gonna be 26 in less than a week. Just two days ago it feels like I was being conceived. I really plan on taking birthday partying to the bitter hilt on 'my special day'...

Augest?

What the fuck--augest? That's how the month's name is spelled on this blog-writing page. That is not my kinda spelling. Or should I say 'mispelling'?  I'm in my room at the Drake Hotel right now, deep...
