I am here for Friends

About Me

Huh? What's that? Who, Me? Oh...well, I'm relentlessly comedic, obsessively compulsive, passionately opinionated, and constantly looking for somebody to share my free time with. I'm a freelance graphic illustrator, a stand-up comedian, a movie theater manager, a soon-to-be high school art teacher, and a recent college grad with a degree in fine art, and that ever important certification to teach high school. I'm a hipster doofus, and a total cinema snob! I love movies, music, art, and really really great sex. I'm totally the cleanest boy you'll ever meet, and probably the least "macho" one too. Despite the fact that I've been referred to as "little and precious" I am a very eclectic individual, approach with caution and/or reckless abandon! Oh, that and I mostly prefer using two-word combinations to contractions.
If it's playing near you - RUN out and see this movie today, but whatever you do, DON'T GET CHUMPATIZED!
Funny, I don't remember Weird Al being on flight 815.
Best use of Bruce Campbell as a cologne advertising vehicle ... Ever.
There's really NOTHING worse than "wrong sounding Muppets". If you're into low-tech internet comedy, then check out some of my creations at YTMND.com!
If you're on XBOX Live, come play with me!
Send me a Wii friend request!
Why not PS3 with ME?

My Interests

  • Art (creating and appreciating) illustration, modern, and (...well, just appreciating) the classics
  • Writing and performing absurdist comedy (stand up, sketch, and improv)
  • Hosting a weekly midnight showing of the film "Wet Hot American Summer" in Greenwich Village, NYC (circa 2003-2004)
  • "Invite Them Up!" with Bobby and Eugene, Wednesday nights at Rififi
  • "The $1 Room" Stand Up Comedy, Thursday nights at The Telephone Bar
  • Collecting and playing with classic and retro video games (Atari, Intellivision, etc.)

    • I'd like to meet:

    ATTENTION!!! PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING : FRIEND REQUESTS SENT WITHOUT AN ACCOMPANYING EMAIL EXPLAINING WHY YOU WANT TO BE FRIENDS, WILL BE IMMEDIATELY DENIED. PERIOD.

    I'm looking for somebody who knows who they are, and what they want.(Simple enough right?) People with passionate opinions are a plus! I really enjoy spending time intellectualizing with people that I care about, and I love a healthy, frisky, debate on art, music, cinema, comedy, science, religion, and other assorted stigma/dogma. Somebody who shares all my common interests is great, but somebody who shares my common hates/dislikes is even better.

    Or, if that doesn't work out, I'd like to meet a true American hero who's from America, and is a full grown adult ... and a doctor.
