I like a lot of people. The first comedians I saw live were Jay Leno and Carrot Top (true story). I'm inspired by a lot of folks, I think Louis CK is the best comic working right now. He makes me laugh and also hate myself a little for not being better than I am. Laura Kightlinger, Zach Galifianakis, Dave Attell, Stewart Lee, Andy Kindler, Doug Stanhope, Brody Stevens, Patton, Maria, ummmm...Kirkman and Todd Barry and John Mulaney and Daniel Kitson and so many others. As far as influences go, I have no idea. Being inspired is not the same as being influenced. Fart.

I don't think that many people notice that you can express a lot more with a conscious contradiction, than you can with a bipartisan opinion. I feel sorry for such people, since they don't realize that LSD can change your opinion of what the formula of an opinion can be. Basically, an uninhibited opinion of your own, expressed and mixed with your own Devil's advocation. Being your own critic. Explaining yourself in your own, individualistic way. Being the god you wish you had. Being the lover you wish you could make love to. Being the religious leader you wish you could follow. Being the parents you wish had raised you. You are truly the decider of your own fate. You are the fortune teller. You are the Ghandi, the hitler, the Bukowski, and the George W. Bush.
Your subconscious decides what the fate of the universe is. Your insecurities will decide if 2012 is the end of the world, or the precursor of 2013.
You're your own God. That's what having god being internal to you means, not worshipping an external, Christian type of spiteful creator. Rather than just comforting yourself knowing that sacred geometry and massive amounts of completely sporadic chaos have still mathematically allowed you to live this long.
5'11", nice. If you have some time on your hands, we should challenge my neighbor to a game of volleyball, she walks around the complex, real cocky like, i think i need to bring her down a few pegs. I might just punch her in the throat though; you know what? Yeah, i'll just do that, nevermind about the volleyball.
I'd like you to meet Dan Schissel if you haven't already. Apparently, a new Maria Bamford DVD, as well as a new Marc Maron CD is coming out in the near future, courtesy of stand up! records.
I already accept you thanks, and welcome you to check dat sheet auuuht.
Yes, a blog would be appreciated/enjoyed. I'm sure I'm not the only one...don't fall into the realm of "twitter". It's a freemason thing (so I've heard) Cheers... ~B
