Shane Morris (OBAMA 08)

I'm not cool, just a lot cooler than I used to be.

About Me


My profile was hacked. I'm seriously lacking in "friends" at the moment.

I've been entertaining all my life. I've got a lot of different projects and things about me, and I'll try to best outline them in a few short paragraphs so you can get on about your time here on the internet. After all, most people just look at pictures. (Although what I've found is that people read my blogs too, so that's worth something I suppose.)
STAND UP COMEDY
I've been doing comedy on stage since I was 15. I've toured with giant names, and been at the venues people want to perform at. I'm not so much a "teller of jokes" as I am a person that just shares stories about my life. My life usually involves a heavy-handed dose of exaggeration. It makes my comedy much funner. I sort of quit comedy for a little while, but now I'm back on stage doing what I love, so I guess it worked out alright. Of all my projects, I'm probably the best at comedy. (Or so I've been told.)
RADIO
I did morning radio in Stockton, California (KWIN 97.7 and 98.3) for a short stint before I had a catastrophic injury that resulted in me almost dying. (Not a joke.) So I'm currently not in radio. I don't know when I will be in the future. I don't really aspire to, but if it falls in my lap again like it did, I'll do it. I swore to my friends and family that I wouldn't sell-out myself again for some stupid physical comedy, so I'm waiting for the right situation. Until then, radio is a dead avenue for me...
TELEVISION
I was one of the hosts of "The G Man Show" that aired through the San Jose affiliate of Comcast Cable. It was a local access sketch comedy show that centered on the bad ideas that I wrote down. My producer and I left the show to go work on other projects.
MUSIC
I've got a few half-done music projects laying around. I've got one with Zehl Valk, one with Dennis Deasyz and another upcoming Grime project with someone else whenever I get a chance. It's not really the first thing I'm working on, so it's taking time. I'm going to make a narrative-esque garage beat with spoken vocals. I'm not so much into the American style of beats. I like the dubstep rave beats of England. It's a more complex sound that offers more tractability than simple piano and drum beats from California.
DAY JOB
I manage a Verizon Wireless store. My employees like me, and it's a lucrative position.
There's other shit about me, but I don't care enough to write it down. Most folks probably won't get to this part anyway.

The Long-Term Relevance of MySpace.com

I joined MySpace.com way back in 2003. I'm one of those arrogant asshole "old" members that think they're superior because they joined a social website "first". (Which is akin to being the first perso...

Everyone loves when someone announces something.

When I said I was making a big announcement, people read my blog and were upset to find that the drumroll lead to nothing. It was sort of like those "choose your own ending" books, and I told you to t...

One of those "thoughts" just crossed my mind.

I was tying up my necktie in the bathroom mirror a moment ago. I looked into the mirror and sort of asked myself, "Hey Shane, when did you sell out?" Somewhere down the line, I became the thing that I...

Why I love to hate Los Angeles.

People tend to say things like, "I hate Los Angeles, it’s so fake." Or perhaps they say it more intelligently, "Los Angeles feels like it’s manufactured." But the bottom line is that these...

Music for people who are my age.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t appreciate bands like Led Zepplin or the Rolling Stones - they’re just old. They had their time. Their music is not for people of my g...
