If you are going to doubt something, doubt your limits

About Me

I look white but I'm really Latino. I'm a mixture of Brasilian and El Salvadorian, my mom still doesn't know why I look this way. It comes in handy for job interviews and I don't get pulled over as much. I love making people laugh and I also love to laugh. At night I'm struggling Stand-Up comic trying to break through this crazy industry. There are a few reasons why I joined and one is to try new things. The second reason is because of networking and to invite people to my shows, hey it's less expensive then purchasing a website. The third reason is to meet new people which I have and I'm grateful.

My Interests

I love doing stand-up comedy. There's nothing like a rush of getting off stage and you made everyone in the room laugh. I like playing sports and watching them. I like movies, plays, comedy, working out (even though I don't have the body of an adonis), writing, hanging out and doing nothing every once in awhile, I am so good at that, almost ZEN like. I can tell you this, I don't like doing this right now. WHY? Because I have to pump myself up and if I meet anyone I have to prove myself which means I have to be on all the time and we all know we can't be on all the time. Especially when you just saw your ex-girlfriend getting a donkey punch from your best friend...of course I'm going to be in a bad mood, like I said we can't be on all the time. I'm pretty much have a laid back attitude but I'm also motivated when I want something, especially when I'm in the mood for some toast, very motivated. I also try not to be judgemental. I love rubbing hot oil on monkeys, hunting wolverines, the Golden Girls, writing Ballads and feeding the homeless. Don't Judge, your doing it right now.

I'd like to meet:

Cool laid back people who like to laugh....then again don't we all want to laugh.
