stand-up comdey, pro-wrestling, video photography, writing, drawing, meditation, aminals, video games, and getting hurt to dawson's creek music...
and since folks keep asking me, yes, that is me in the video...along with ranger slugging me at the end.
Music
wesley willis, the residents, raffi, jackie stallone, pavoratti, mozart, coustic blend, singing lawn chairs, rock hard killer, and anyone who sucks at kareoke
Movies
bubba ho-tep is amazing...maybe it's because i find old people hilarious...maybe it's because i enjoy watching elvis and jfk battle a mummy wearing cowboy boots...but it's easily one of my favorites of all-time....it just seems to get better each time i watch it.
i also enjoy...young frankenstein, kingpin, peewee's big adventure, behind the mask, no holds barred, strangers with candy, citizen kane, cannibal: the musical, dumb & dumber, revenge of the nerds, winnie the pooh, airplane, the naked gun trilogy, a clockwork orange, uhf, and other movies as well.
also, there's a general rule that if it's a terribly made movie, i'm probably gonna love it.
Television
ecw (the original one), tales from the crypt, seinfeld, arrested development, police squad, mystery science theater 3000, garth marenghi's darkplace, the tick (animated one), veggie tales, rocko's modern life...i also have a weird obsession with late-night infomercials...there's nothing more satisfying than rewinding a weight-loss infomercial and watching all the thin folks turn fat in the before and after photos.
oh, yeah...and i like the soup....because of stuff like this...
........
and this...

....and this....

WATCH THE SOUP, DANG IT!!
Books
see spot run, everybody poops, medical encyclopedias
Heroes
bea arthur (i now know why she was a golden girl...because she can single handedly turn something funny into something golden)
kurt angle (it's true, it's true)
that one tank-top wearing tan dude with the shaved head and glasses at all the old wwf ppvs (i dunno who he is...i just know i can see him usually in the front row at early 90's wwf ppvs) *NOTE* i recently found out that this feller's name was vladimir
jerry seinfeld (picture jerry adding landing on his skull and occassionally talking jibberish to his stand-up routine and you've pretty got my act)
bobby heenan (possibly made me laugh more than any other person ever on television, which is saying a lot)
wile e. coyote (you can knock him down, blow him up, run him over....but he never gives up)
i like to write...i like to write comedy...i have a warped view of the world. if that's needed, contact me. if it's not, then...uh...let me shine your shoes or something.
i have a face for radio and a voice for silent movies...so really, don't contact me unless you're desperate.

well, first off, i was that quiet guy in high school...then i went to college in seattle, wa...and i got the classification of the "quiet class clown" by a few teachers out there. i'm still quiet and mellow, but i'm not afraid to let my bizarre personality show through like i used to be in the past.
i'm an extremely laid back guy...i'm very mellow. people often think i'm on drugs because of it...well, that and the fact that i'm pretty much insane. but rest-assured, the only thing i've been snorting is water...and it burns my nostrils like the dickens.
i'm a comedian, i guess. i started doing stand-up comedy in seattle back in 2002. you can give mr. caleb hicks credit for that; i do. i've performed in various cities and states in the u.s. since then, but seattle always seems to appreciate my humor more than anywhere else. i don't do stand-up on a regular basis anymore, but every now and then i like to put on a show.
i like to write. although my literary talents were called "garbage" by the troll-like english teacher in charge of the school paper in high school, i've worked on two 'papers since then and was even an editor on one. on top of that, my little blog on here has become quite successful. i tend to get a few thousand views a week...way up from the one or two a week i got when i first started it on here. i'm also working on a book on and off...expect it to be done sometime between now and later.
after a three and a half year hiatus, i'm back in the professional wrestling world once again. in the past i was trained by midwest wrestling stars angel armani/col. blatnick and silas young. currently i'm being trained by another midwest star, frankie defalco. a knee injury put me out of action several years ago, with my joint getting bent in the wrong direction...but i'm back now, baby! hooray!
aaaanyway, that's enough about me. if you wanna know more, feel free to contact me; i'm a kind fellow, i'll get back to ya with the info you want...so long as it isn't adult oriented. but yup, if you wanna chat, hang out, throw batteries at the elderly, whatever, just let me know and i'll see what i can arrange. yup. bye.
You Are An INFP
The Idealist
You are creative with a great imagination, living in your own inner world.
Open minded and accepting, you strive for harmony in your important relationships.
It takes a long time for people to get to know you. You are hesitant to let people get close.
But once you care for someone, you do everything you can to help them grow and develop.
In love, you tend to have high (and often unrealistic) standards.
You are very sensitive. You tend to have intense feelings.
At work, you need to do something that expresses your personal values.
You would make an excellent writer, psychologist, or artist.
How you see yourself: Unselfish, empathetic, and spiritual
When other people don't get you, they see you as: Unrealistic, naive, and weak
Who I'd like to meet: bea arthur and bigfoot...at the same time...that way i'll have proof that they really are different people. as far as i'm concerned right now, beafoot lives!
i have been good. i finally found a job at RedGold down here in Elwood like 3 weeks before my unemployment was about to run out. Now i am looking in to going to school in the fall but other than that just a whole lotta chillin here man... i am sorry to hear that you got laid off man that sucks....i hope your luck turns around and something pops up for ya!
Recently some friends and I tried the "six saltine crackers in a minute bit" and I thought of you. My buddy pulled it off but we're thinking of upping the ante a smidge. Maybe eight. Think you can beat that?
My friend also thinks he can take down a 1.5 pound burrito in four bites, just for a frame of reference.
