Happy Kwanza. Austin has been a hectic mess this weekend. People are ready to travel in droves and they all want to come to Austin. I don’t blame them. It’s awesome here. I spent the majority of the weekend driving them around in the all new Subaru Crosstrek with four wheel suspension. On Friday I … Continue reading Plunging Into an Ice Bath and a Developed Disdain for Suburban Drivers
Learning Life Lessons Through Poker
Hot girls. Hot girls everywhere. I was about to make eye contact with this hot girl and then some dude walked right in between us, stopped, and pulled out his phone to make a call. That pretty much sums it up for me. I’m trying to find the humor in my failed interactions with women, … Continue reading Learning Life Lessons Through Poker
Birthday Post
Today is my birthday. Nice.
Poop
I think I’m going to order a tea. I need to figure out if it makes me shit myself or not. Speaking of shitting yourself, I found a name for my potential memoir some day: Between the Poop. A story about the things that happen in between running to the bathroom. I’m sitting here right … Continue reading Poop

Finding Success on Stage
Last night was… amazing. I was able to get on stage two times for the second night in a row, and both of my sets went extremely well. The first mic was at a dive bar in Pflugerville, about twenty minutes north of Austin. It’s exactly what you would picture if you thought up a … Continue reading Finding Success on Stage
Falling Forward
I got back on the comedy horse last night and was able to hit two open mics in Austin. We got a pretty big rain storm last week so a lot of mics got cancelled. On Thursday I ended up going to two mics expecting to perform but neither ended up actually happening. I think … Continue reading Falling Forward
Managing Comedy and Mental Health
Shooby dooby dooooooo. I’m feeling great today. It’s a far cry from where I was just a few days ago, because I was nottttttt doing well. I knew that moving to a new city on my own, not knowing anyone here, and pursuing stand-up comedy would provide me with challenges, I just wasn’t sure exactly … Continue reading Managing Comedy and Mental Health
My Tragic Love Story
Weeeeeeeeeeeee. I had the most amazing set last night. It wasn’t all roses before that, though. It was actually no roses. The day was pretty awful before that. What do they say, though? It’s always darkest before the dawn? I guess I have to share my tragic love story for some background. Before the pandemic … Continue reading My Tragic Love Story
