I was a lone guitarist who wanted to be a rock star, then I was a pizza delivery guy, then I was a student, then I was an acupuncturist, then I wrote a book, then I became an internet marketing consultant, then I became an ecommerce manager and now I write stupid jokes.

ooooo, I am such a mysterious San Diego comedy show- so mysterious about where I'll be located (San Diego comedy coop) and what day (friday) and what the format will be (actually the mysterious part)
I missed seeing you tonight. Reading your blogs about the discoveries youve made doing comedy are great. I forget people have to figure that stuff out. Under the hack section if you ever want to add some more stuff let me know I could tell you about 200 things.
I hope you know I was just teasing with the acupuncture jokes last night. Any man that can stick long hard "sharp" things into another mans body multiple times and make it feel good.... well that's ok with me.
Good job tonight man. You were fun to watch. I was reading your blog. I love hearing the perspectives of other comics. I really loved lesson #13. Thats the trick that makes a comedian great.
Yah I missed that one. I am looking forward to tonight too. I actually decided to prepair for it. Thats rare for me. I'm also looking forward to your show on Tuesday.
