Trying to unravel my own twisted, self-indulgent ouroboros by way of experience, maniacal comedic expression, and conversation...oh, and shooting hoops
Music
Sound Tribe Sector 9 and Wesley Willis, that's it, thats all i need (also been addivted to LCD recently)
Movies
The Dolemite Series has everything i would ever want in filmed entertainment, but check out "Brett Siddell: Live and Free and Anisq'oyo" and "Soul Tornado:A Ballnutz Story" as well (and tBC, of course)
Television
antiques road show and telemundo! give me chills of delight
Books
"Everyone Poops" by Taro Gomi, "How to Eat Small Aircraft" by Monsieur Mangetout, and the book that holds up the front right corner of my bed.
Heroes
Dikembe Mutombo, John Bender, and Michel Lotito of France, nicknamed Monsieur Mangetout (Mr. Eat Everything), who is officially credited as having the world’s strangest diet. Over 40-odd years, Michel has gobbled up 18 bicycles, 15 supermarket trolleys, seven TV sets, six chandeliers, two beds, a pair of skis, a computer, a coffin and a light aircraft.
These guys do whatever they want with no apologies.
About me: Dear friend or prospective friend,
My name is brett. i live in brooklyn, at a place referred to commonly as dorms. no surprise there, as i am still quite childish, and i love it. you might see me on a swingset eating a PB+J at any given moment. And you'd be jealous. im on-air at sirius satellite radio, which is also splendid, as it is actually a real job where they pay me to crack jokes. Everybody's happy. i still do stand-up all around town and what have you. i am also putting together my own live-action talk/variety show so stay tuned. hope you are well.
Regards,
Brett Arthur Siddell
Who I'd like to meet: Animal from the Muppet Babies
