The Alison Brie Phone Call
I like to think I know a lot of people. I also like to think I’m a pretty good friend and I do my best to keep in contact with everybody. But every so often, that friend of yours goes above and beyond for you, and makes your day.
I’ve known Brendan since my freshman year of college. We met during orientation, and following the path of my high school friend Taylor, I ended up in his...

Last Comic Standing In The Rain →
I mentioned this audition awhile ago and finally got around to writing the actual article, and Yahoo was interested in hosting it! Check out one of my first big steps into, you know, whatever the crap I’m doing now

Cliff Clinton Talks Super Bowl and What it Means... →
Hey readers, I’d really appreciate you reading this really short piece. I’m getting paid a bit for each article, but if you like it, feel free to reblog it to my utter appreciation. But either way, read it a little!

Five Pieces of History That Are Worth a Little...
Forgive me, fair internet, but for the last few weeks to pay rent I’ve been backlogged with articles about septic tanks and random internet hosting and the super bowl and college tuition. I’ve written about nothing fun, and I wonder if anyone reading my shit has caught onto my feigned enthusiasm (I repeat: septic tanks). So, I need this. I also need to keep visualizing that I’m...

Slapsgiving Drinking Game
Preface: My friend Riley and I have this tradition. We’re both big fans of HIMYM, we’re hard-and-fast followers of the show, and we watch every episode we can together on Monday night at her house. Even if we can’t get together, we text about it and touch base on how we’re feeling. It’s like television co-dependency: we both depend on the show, but it won’t...

Time is Love
I really dislike the saying “time is money”. I know it’s not a very original thought, I can’t say this blog has ever taken any great heart in being a unique source for original thought. It’s just a phrase that bugs me because it’s become a pretty accepted truth. I mean, when was the last time, when a buddy of yours sling-shotted the phrase your way to hurry you...

Christmas with the Kids
I live in a house with three other dudes. It’s a house built in the 1930’s in Orange, CA. It’s right next to Anaheim, but even closer to Chapman University, the school I attend. I might end up staying here for the holidays. It’s not abnormal for a student not to be able to go home for every holiday, but it is when they’re only thirty minutes from home. A spirited days...

“This is on a bus back from camp. I’m 13 and so are you. Before I left for camp I...”
– Donald Glover, aka Childish Gambino, ends his last song That Power with a spoken word poem. It’s the end of his newest album, Camp, and though the songs are amazing, this is equally beautiful too. And no one does this.

Zzyzk, CA
I’d hate to start this sort of thing with “Wow, its been awhile”, but that’s the only first sentence that makes sense. Save for the Steve Jobs article which was kind of a spur of the moment reaction, I haven’t written anything of substance since early August. Which sucks, because the one thing I’ve rather enjoyed about Tumblr is the fact that I can sit and sort...

The Phenomenon of Steve
I should note that this is really one of those articles I’m making myself write. I don’t own an apple product (poverty being the deciding factor of such), I may have been birthed to a computer nerd but I am not one myself, and I had no particular ideology to Steve Jobs. I also think that anything with a R.I.P. attached to it is a bit unnerving, as I imagine, on the day I do go, that I...

The Lap Bars of Anti-Justice
A severe injustice has been announced recently. Forget for a second about dictators in the middle east, the ongoing debt problems of Congress, or the fact that Fox News is still relevant and Stephen Colbert isn’t president yet. Today changes all of that.
The Battle Hymn of the Republic fills my ears and tears fill my eyes as I report today that Disneyland is making the Matterhorn ride at...

jennaeherring asked: I really enjoy reading your blog entries. The ones where you talk about your life - they are so raw and genuine. Honestly, I feel like I could read an entire book on your life. Not because I imagine thousands of fantastical things have happened to you - but because you would make the ordinary seem fantastical in the way you write.
I know this is a little odd to be saying - just...

The One Shot Highlight Reel
I think the story really starts when I’m coming offstage. Ninety percent of my shows in the past have interesting anecdotes that occur before I go up; almost getting lost on my way to the club, interesting meet-ups, etc. But last night, as I came off the stage at the Hollywood Improv, the story begins.
I had a pretty good set, one of those ones that made me go “Ok, some of this can...

You Won!
They looked at me completely confused, for a millisecond. They weren’t sure if they were about to be scammed or what. They had no clue who I was, I didn’t know them from Adam, so they had every right to be suspicious. But to these two guys I had just met at the bar, at the Donald Glover/Childish Gambino concert, I had decided to shout out “If you want them, I am a comedian,...
