I do Sketch Comedy with a swell group of fellas called Last Call Cleveland. We're hella tight and we're fun to be around. I do stand up as well. And by "as well" I mean I do it also, not that I do it as well as I do sketch comedy. But I do. Do it as well.
I am a writer for HBO Lab/Runaway Box. I still don't know what it is either, but we make some decent stuff some times.

My musical tastes are easliy divided into just a few categories:
-------Whiney folky guitar music sung by tiny skinny guys with bangs hanging in their eyes singing songs about their ex girlfriends and what an asshole George Bush is:-
Ben Folds, Ryan Adams, Beck, Wilco, Radiohead, Cake, Shins, Ray Lamontagne, Elliot Smith, Nick Drake, Belle and Sebastian, Weezer, Damien Rice.-------
70’s Classic Cock Rock type stuff with bluesy or Southern influences that you legally have to listen to while roofing or painting your garage:
Allman Brothers, Boston, Skynard, Doobie Brothers, Journey, Seger. Petty.------
Faggy Bombastic Guys that Sing songs that sound like they should be in Godspell, but aren’t.-------
Elton John, George Michael, Prince, Queen. The Cure.------
Real Blues not played by white teenaged guitar prodigy boys who grew up in a Cul de Sac:
Buddy Guy, B.B., Stevie Ray, Dr. John, Buckwheat Zydeko, Muddy Waters, Bill Broonzy, Robert Lockwood, John Lee Hooker.------

Jay Z, Luda, Busta, Stevie Wonder, White Stripes, Lawrence Welk, The Cars, The Bangles, M.C. Chris, Rusted Root, Blues Traveler------
And False Gods:
Beatles, Van Morrison, and CSNY.------
Movies
Horrible horror movies where it looks like the director isn't even trying and doesn't even care, where he's usually in it, as the hero, even though he's not good looking enough to be the hero, and he casts some kind of cute girl as his love interest so that he can force a girl to kiss him.
--------Rushmore-------The Graduate--------Casablanca----------Pulp Fiction----------Big Trouble In Little China--------The Apartment--------Holy Grail-------The Thin Red Line-------------It's A Wonderful Life----------Bottle Rocket---------The Quiet Man---------L.A. Confidential
Television
All Turner Classic Movies when life was black and white and bad guys were bad and good guys were good and love existed and punches sounded awesome. Simpsons. Arrested development. British Office. American Office (to a lesser degree, because I'm pretentious). Flight of the Conchords. Hilarious talking head shows on Fox News. Anything on the History Channel. Most things on the Discovery Channel. 30 Rock. Saturday afternoon movies on TBS and TNT and shit that I own on DVD but still insist on watching on TV with commercials and no swearing. The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis. Any Cleveland Sports Games with the exception of soccer, hockey, high school games, and anything women are playing. Columbo.
Books
God Bless You Mr. Rosewater. CITR. Catch 22. Al Franken. David Sedaris. Shitty, predictable Grisham novels. Inflamatory Leftist Dogma That Doesn't Fairly Present an Opposing Viewpoint.
About me: I decided to join myspace when I turned 30, because I wanted to be officially creepy before I took the plunge.
I'm a bad listener in that I appear to be hearing what you're saying by maintaining excellent eye contact, but I'm not really listening to a word. I'm liberal unless it's inconvenient for me.
Who I'd like to meet: Larry from Three's Company. Hall. (I've met Oates). An Asian girl with low self esteem. H.L. Mencken. Some Treasure. David Lee Roth.
Hey Mike, do you ever plan on tying the knot with the horse in your display pic? I'm sure you have been burned in the past but she is a really awesome horse with a great personality that cares deeply about you, so either get serious or set her free. That pic has been posted for a while now and it really just seems like you're leading her on at this point. Just my opinion.
hello, michael...i just finished watching season one of tweet boxx...i must say, you were looking quite schnazzy and hilarious as always...of course, i am now expecting a season 2 and thus it shall be twice the hilariousness and double the schnazz! let it be written, let it be done.
Hey funny man. Great show last Thursday. You were funny enough to make it to our top friends list, like it really means shit. Unless thousands of people click on it, and like your shit, and then buy your shit, and then millions of dollars start rolling in.
You're ugly and yo mama dresses you funny. In case you weren't aware. Hope your mom's not dead. That's always awkward to respond to when you say a yo mama joke and they somberly say "my mom's dead".
