#FollowFriday Self Aggrandizement Edition #FF
As some of you may be aware @BrodieHubbard & I are launching @ShakeytownRadio, a podcast. “But there are SO MANY podcasts to choose from now? Why pay attention to yours?” I can see you saying to your computer screen as you read the sentences above this. Well, this podcast is different! The Shakeytown Radio Hour, unlike the hollow shells of podcasts that have come before is designed...

This has been stuck in my head for two days now:
Live from Burbank. It's Sunday Afternoon.
I just killed a bottle of cheap Hungarian plonk (Egri Bikaver ’05, like 5 bucks at Trader Joes, if you are a snooty motherfucker) and watched the season finale of Saturday Night Live, America’s sketch show battlewagon, the venerable warhorse. I have to say; a bottle of wine makes it funnier.
I realized three (well, technically two) things while watching Saturday Night Live t.
One (1): I am far too...

Mystifying Rivers: A Play in One Act
Ext. Backyard Morning. Gene is trying to string a yard trimmer when Gene’s Mom engages him in conversation.
Gene’s Mom
I’m glad I haven’t seen the movie “Mystic River” ‘cause I got the book at the library sale.
Gene
Yeah?
Gene’s Mom
Have you seen it? You know with Sean Penn and Tim Robbins about some boys who meet later in life…

An honest, maudlin, and often sycophantic look at the comics/actors on Twitter who inspire me.
My first tweet is typical, I think:

Gold! Pure gold! Ahem. Looking at the thread of my twitterings things don’t get truly interesting for a few months until, and this is the key part, I started using Twitter to actually interact with people I know,...
Really. Good.
I’m really good at waving. Yeah, I said it. I can wave like nobody’s business. Some people have a hard time getting their flappy little paddle paws to flop around like a pithed frog, but NOT ME. I am the king of waving. Not the dainty waves of an ascot-wearing nancy old queen at a fashionable brunce, no way. Now let me be perfectly clear, my wave is also not the clod-handed shitheel bohunk wave of...

Follow Friday. My methods.
OK here’s my Twitter List #FF http://bit.ly/5j4Ede #FollowFriday. My reasoning behind this is thus:
I’ve given this Follow Friday thing a lot of thought and I think I’ve come up with the best analogy for my “Follow Friday List”. It’s like this, Let’s say I’m planning a Twitter Party at my house. All the people I follow are invited to the party. All...

Tortured grammar. I wrote this a while ago but I was reminded of it’s existence today.

The Murdahhhh Baaaaaahhhhn
Vincent Terwilliger, former sports columnist for the New York Globe turned novelist was so wrapped in a cocoon of self-absorbed thoughts that he fairly bleated when Ol’ Old Tom spoke.

Why I don’t drink caffeine.
I have, of my own volition, abstained from the consumption of caffeine for about 8 years now. Frankly it’s been long enough that I can’t recall exactly when I stopped. I used to say it’s been five years, but I recently realized that I’ve been saying that for a few years now so I upped it slightly. Why? Well that’s it. There’s very little real reason. It’s kind of a bet I made with myself.
As...

My new motto:
Go big or go home doesn’t really QUITE fit me. I’ve come up with something, although it flows a lil’ bit less easily off the tongue, I think it’s catchy.
Go mediocre, hoping that someone around you picks up the slack, while you spin your wheels semi-paralyzed by fear of failure and doubts as to whether or not you’re living up to the “Huge Potential” that...

Happy New Year!
I am not going to compile a top 10 list, nor rehash 2009 in minutia. Instead I will say with all sincerity that this year has seen the greatest joys I have known in life. My wife gave birth to our first child, one so perfect, silly, and beautiful I constantly have to keep checking for the mark of the beast on her as there HAS to be a catch somewhere. I am lucky enough to have a day-job that...
Naughty Oughties?
Ok since when are these the “Naughty Oughties” WTF was so naughty? Or are they referring to the fact that this decade has reduced to naught all the social, economic, and diplomatic gains of the prior century?

I was on a Show Called Cavemen
Balls to people that hated this show. It was just fine. I was totally prepared to hate it and found myself pleasantly surprised.
nickkroll:
A lot of people thought it was a terrible idea for a TV show. A few people thought it was a great idea. I just needed a job acting on TV and this was the one I got. I can’t say that I was sad when it got cancelled— we spent 4 hours in makeup every...

Sea Ewoks
danisontumblr:
Walking through a beachside park this morning I saw three fat Hawaiian kids smoking a joint under a picnic table fort made out of boogie boards, towels and cardboard beer boxes. I told them just smoking in the open was less conspicuous than building this elaborate tree fort in the sand. One of then responded, “Brah, that’s what we do. We’re sea ewoks.” True story.

Why I Comedy. A #FollowFriday essay.
I just finished my one year anniversary doing stand up. I wanted to do something different for #FollowFriday or “Twitter Sabbath” as I like to call it. This is a not at all exhaustive list of people who’ve influenced me in rough chronological order.

My head hurts.
My tumblr-arity is zero.
Oh boo freakin’ hoo. I cannot possibly find words in the English language to describe how little I care for this.
I *like* tumblr all right, but the fact that it throws this arbitrary rating in your face makes me want to chew my arm off like a small fuzzy woodland creature in a trap. What’s ot supposed to do, eh? Make me want to develop content? ‘Cause it doesn’t.
Oh google voice transcripts.
You are the MadLibs of the cyber age:

Hall hollow or thank you...

Did MC Hammer ever have a breakfast cereal? ‘Cause that seems like that might have happened at one point.
Improv has taught me this:
The dial-tone in my brain, the background radiation of my thoughts, my own personal one hand clapping, the thing I think of when I am not thinking of anything, is chicken.
