I’m a comic, writer, freethinker, producer, filmmaker, and lover of dogs.
I sold bibles door to door. I was a
scientologist for a bit. My scam punch-card became full.
Now I’m rational.
I respect people, not beliefs or religions.
I love cheap pizza and good scotch.
I’m obsessed with politics and how much the neocons
are fucking up the country, but I’d forget it all
to just ride waterslides.
If you see me at the bar, these are
the only conversations that don’t bore
me to death:
politics
religion
philosophy
filmmaking
authority
how we’re all totally fucked
the end of the world
sound recording and engineering
minidiscs
dogs
gods
The The
documentaries
the proper cooking of Angel Hair pasta.
Stanley Milgram
obedience
Wilco
Bush
The Onion
Ireland
corporate crime
pitbulls
News analyst Daniel Schorr
digital voice recorders.
repression
standup
Howard Bloom
Richard Dawkins
memes
how Mr. Show’s cancellation will be seen as the biggest mistake in history, next to Barbara Bush not having an abortion.
