"Peer Pressure"
I live in a nice looking suburban town. At least on the outside it is and since I’ve lived here my whole life I know the true shit fest it really is. There is nothing really to do here so all everyone does is drink and do drugs. I’ve been offered both throughout my high school life and once in a while have turned it down. This is usually the conversation that goes on when I’m under “peer pressure”:
Friend: Hey do you want a drink?
Me: No thanks.
Friend: Ok, more for me.
Friend: Hey do you want to smoke?
Me: No thanks.
Friend: Ok, more for me.
TV is stupid. Drug and alcohol users are the smart ones by 1) Being nice and sharing their stuff and 2) Realizing by not forcing someone to smoke their pot or drink their booze that they now have more. If there is someone out there who is just giving you free drugs and alcohol all of the time please send them my way since I have the next three days off.

Clean Your Hands
Tess!
My friend Tess is an awesome musician. Think Karen O meets M.I.A. She goes by the name An American Werewolf. This song is called, “Clean Your Hands” (which is probably the only song that is least sounding of Karen O/M.I.A.) but it’s classy and makes me want to drink martinis while mingling with fancy people. If you’re still not convinced I know for a fact that Zach Galifianakis likes her music.
“How do you walk?”
—me during tonight’s battle in Smash Brawl incase you guys were wondering how good I am at Wii
Hey, how are you doing? How's the comedy? And by that, I don't mean standup (you're back in college, right?). I mean writing material. Also, I was wondering about this the other night: do you think Twitter has changed your comedy style in any way? Do you craft a little differently before you signed up?
I’m doing ok just trying to keep busy with work, school and friends all while avoiding being at home. I haven’t written much lately but you can see the basics of what I would include in my act on my Twitter. And no it hasn’t changed my style, diarrhea is and will always be funny to me. Infact I was known in highschool for having and making POOP shirts. But I will say it has helped on finding out what’s funny and what works. Whether it be someone retweeting it, getting a DM or @ reply by people telling me they thought what I wrote was funny or checking out favstar and seeing who’s favoriting/starring my tweets. I didn’t start writing for my stand-up until around this time last year and I will say that all of that material sucks, it’s mostly me complaining about work but I have definetly expanded since. And when I first signed onto Twitter (which was about two years ago) I used it the same way most people did by talking about what you were doing and such but then I realized I got more attention when I posted something obscene or some random weird thought going on in my head.
