Jeff's Blurbs |
About me:
I work for the Environmental Protection Agency and do standup comedy on the side. I follow politics pretty closely (I'm probably best described as a moderate liberal), and other hobbies include music, movies, soccer (I play in a rec league and follow DC United and the National Team), and baseball (I suck too hard to even play in a rec league, but I follow the Mariners and Cubs).
|
Who I'd like to meet:
Other people with my interests, especially people with something intelligent to say about politics, something interesting to say about standup comedy, or something informative to say about soccer or baseball. If you are one of the following people, I do not want to hear from you under any circumstances: Bill O'Rielly, Jim Rome, Carlos Mencia (whose real name is Ned Holness). All others are welcome.
