Being a smart-ass on the radio, stand-up comedy, music, coffee, running... when I have the energy.
Anyone! I like meeting new people. Sometimes you can meet me on the video below.
I'm currently a dj for X96 in Salt Lake City so I hate all music. I've managed to steal a lot of music though from the radio station. Below is a sampling of what's on my hard drive.
If a band's name is bold, then I like them a little extra. If they are bold, extra large , and red , then they are the greatest band of all time.

Recently?? 3:10 to Yuma was good. So was No Country for Old Men. Lars and the Real Girl. Atonement. All time? Shawshank Redemption, Office Space, The Usual Suspects, Forrest Gump, Saving Private Ryan, Blah blah blah. I like good movies.
I like the History Channel and Tru TV cause it's not reality, it's actuality. Whatever that means.
I no longer possess the attention span necessary for books. Although I do glance at Wired magazine from time to time. I prefer writing to reading anyway. I write comedy. I read it to myself, to see if I think it's funny. Then I get on stage to see if you think it's funny. Then I go home and curl up in the fetal position and cry for 12 hours.
I really should find a hero. It might give me some motivation to get out of bed in the morning. Oh, wait... no, I don't care.
