Potentially funny thoughts from a local comic
When I was in college, I could be happy listening to music in my room and chilling out. I didn’t need to be doing anything major. Why? I had a big goal: to finish four years of college. It was nice to have forced goals back then; adult life is sort of aimless. Wouldn’t it…
“If you need to get something done, ask a busy person!” For the past few months, I’ve been like, “As soon as I have free time, as soon as I’m not toastmasters president, I will do more stand-up comedy. Right now, I’m too busy.” But shedding extra responsibilities doesn’t mean I’ll focus more on my…
I did “official” stand-up comedy last night. I’ve done 3-4 comedy acts before, but this was my first official comedy stand-up that wasn’t a class showcase, group of family and friends, or in Toastmasters. I’m comfortable in front of an audience of 40, but I wasn’t ready for >100 people! I have over five years…

In the pre-Facebook, let alone pre-Internet age, there would be a stack of dog-eared magazines in every waiting room. Often the stack was People magazine-heavy, and,…
In America, I am a liberal. I vote as liberal democrat, but people often tell me I seem more libertarian than democrat. This assessment generally comes from Republicans. People see me as libertarian because I’m an individual, and I do my own thing, not wanting my actions to be dictated by others. I like the…
Every once in a while, I get a concept in my head and think about it ad nauseum. Today, I am obsessing on the concept of cultural appropriation. It’s not a fun expression: it’s yucky, and it doesn’t roll of the tongue nicely. It’s especially annoying when it’s overused. A definition of the word “appropriation,”…
I saw Bon Jovi last night at PNC Arena. It was a lot of fun – lots of people, fun experience, good company, but it was one of the more boring concerts I’ve attended. Let me elaborate: I was never a big Bon Jovi fan. I am on the younger side of Gen-X, and I…
