They look just like us and have almost an identical culture but get this, they’ve never heard of ’peanut butter’ but that’s okay beause we’ve never heard of 'farfluven'. Also, Christianity has merged with McDonalds so you can drive thru for a happy meal and a quick confession. Gerald Ford is still dead. Red is the new Green.

Rob Asaro On A Mission's Interests
General
Comedy, Acting, Writing,... Coffee Shops. Although, if I get an isle seat the whole coffee shop/diner experience is ruined for me. I won't even stay.

Then The Godfather, Scent of A Woman, Being There, Man on the Moon, Mr. Saturday Night, Big Fish, Goodfellas, City Lights, Roomates, Love Me If You Dare, Amelie, The Kid, The Truman Show, Tuesdays With Morrie, Good Will Hunting, Chaplin.
Television
Seinfeld, The Office, The Wonder Years, The Sopranos, The Simpsons, Scrubs, Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Books
Letters from A Nut series, Death of a Salesman, Lost In The Funhouse, The Alchemist. Jonathan Livingston Seagull. I love that damn bird! I tend to like biographies centering on the journeys of actors and comedians that I find interesting
I hope to inspire and be innovatative in my work, completely original from everyone else. I aspire to be extraordinary.....
unfortunately
I am not yet a real person but rather a compilation of character traits gathered from books, movies, day-dreams, and misguided understandings of philosophy. I go about solving problems in the worst manner plausable. I like to pretend that I am a hero in a book or movie and tend to script my life, which leads mostly to disasterous results. I like to play and write about passionate, lonely, disconnected dreamers who are always on the brink of success and failure at the same time. In the past five years I have lived in New York, New Jersey, Boston and Los Angeles. I like anything lemon flavored. (Not lemon-lime) I have fallen off the rocky mountains. I've been a hostage, roomed with a guy who thought he wrote 'Titanic,' flooded Giants Standium. I am fascinated with heaven, fortune-tellers, and people who accomplish great feats. I want to change the world and be remembered forever. I want to be the funniest person of the century. Time Travel seems interesting too.
Who I'd like to meet: I'd like to meet myself in 10 years so I could see what happens. Do they have a toaster with 6 slots? I bet they do. ... I'd like to meet my guardian angel, let's just say he's dropped the ball once or twice.... I'd like to meet one of the unpopular apostitle like Tim or something and ask him why so unpopular?. Maybe some of the other apostles knew each other better?

Sketch Comedy: It's not dead yet, just because programming executives will have you believe you'd rather see fatso's lose weight or marry their father or broadway has taken Legally Blind to the stage. No there is more than entertainment than the latest installment of ABC's insanely predicible and barely watchable home videos and more than the latest crap CBS has going with whatever the hell oil they're still drying to draw out of the TV western and then of course good ol' FOX, you disgust me in new ways every week. Forget these losers and come on over to Chocolate Cake City: Featuring Free Cake!
The next evolution of Sketch Comedy is right here in New York. Next Week, Chocolate Cake City, one of NYC's comedy groups will appear at the People's Improv Theater in Manhattan.
