Tom Waits... charismatic story-teller with a
penchant for freaky people and unusual
settings. You thrive on the concept of the
underdog coming out on top.

About me:
I'm a standup comedian. Some people think I'm funny. Watch some clips here and determine for yourself. If you don't think these clips are funny, then you hate Jews. If you couldn't tell I was kidding just then, perhaps you have a low threshold for irony, or maybe you're just really homophobic. ------------------------------
Look at my cool list of movies, bands and other listy things! I'm so cool! If you haven't heard of a lot of the things on my list, don't worry, not everybody can be this underground and edgy and cool and on the cutting edge. And stop hating Jews. --------------------------------
NOTE: The Moustache Phase occurred during a very dark time for me, and I have those pix up here to remind myself how bad things can get. -----------------------------------
I'm obsessed with making people laugh, taking polaroids (unsexy kind), karaoke, and bringing down The Man. And helping other ---------- achieve --------.
----------------------------
Let's be superficial internet friends! Send a note though. I'm not a total MySpace Friend Slut. Believe it or not, I've actually met most of the people on my list here. That may change now that I have video clips up here.

You Belong in 1963 |
|
1963
If you scored...
1950 - 1959: You're fun loving, romantic, and more than a little innocent. See you at the drive in!
1960 - 1969: You are a free spirit with a huge heart. Love, peace, and happiness rule - oh, and drugs too.
1970 - 1979: Bold and brash, you take life by the horns. Whether you're partying or protesting, you give it your all!
1980 - 1989: Wild, over the top, and just a little bit cheesy. You're colorful at night - and successful during the day.
1990 - 1999: With you anything goes! You're grunge one day, ghetto fabulous the next. It's all good!

Who I'd like to meet:
That dude with the hat. That lady with the scarf. Christopher Guest. James Brown. Bill Murray. Robert Altman. Robert Evans. Oliver Platt. Nick Hornby. James LeGros. James Spader. Gus Van Sant. My old friend Tom H. . Eddie Izzard. Allison Anders. Donald Roller Wilson. Wes Anderson. Paul Thomas Anderson. Loni Anderson. The Fat One of the guys on the Andersen's Pea Soup sign. Your sponsor's mama. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BANDS REQUESTING AN ADD: Don't push it. If you really do sound like Pavement, Spoon or Smog, OK. But don't be all "We sound like a mix of the Stones and Bowie, so you'll totally love us!". --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are an individual with a wish to add me to your list, and we've never met, interacted or communicated in any form, perhaps a note would be in order explaining whatever inspired you to enter the sacred bond of superficial internet friendship with me, beyond a mad grab for many many people on your list. As unlikely as it sounds, I really have met most of the people on mine. What I'm saying is - SEEMINGLY RANDOM ADD REQUEST = WRITE ME A NOTE!
