FORMSPRING: How did your last relationship end?
The last serious one? It went out with a whimper, then a bang, then a thud, back to whimper, then some wriggling around on the floor a bit like a spider who hasn’t been fully stomped on, and then the spider just gets tired of living with a crushed midsection and a few missing legs so it just gives up and dies after a while.
FUN QUESTIONS!

FORMSPRING: Stop being sexy, RIGHT NOW. Or else I’m going to have to drunk formspring you again. Q: Pretty please?
Now, THIS is what I’m talking about. THIS. Calling people who have no business being labeled sexy “sexy” on an anonymous comment section of a blog. THIS is why alcohol was invented. I’ll tell you what, let’s raise the stakes here. Next time you get drunk enough to...

I’ll tell you what, let’s raise the stakes here. Next time you get drunk enough to (double) post a saucy formspring question, take it right over to gmail. That’s right,...

I KNOW.
I know that people think blogs aren’t legitimate sources of news/information/entertainment because the common misconception about them is that they’re all written by losers explaining what they ate for lunch or describing an errand they ran or a song they like or a thing they just bought that they’re excited about. People who don’t read blogs often find that pithy,...
FORMSPRING: What made you pursue comedy as a...
You ever have that wonderful/horrible feeling where you know what you want to do and there’s really nothing else that would make you happy? Where you could probably do something tangentially related to that thing, but even then that’s pushing it? It’s not that I have no other skills (I have maybe 3 others, 1 is making egg scrambles), it’s that I’m sure that...
Tonight
I danced for upwards of 15-20 minutes (this never happens).
I suppressed the desire to say something potentially stupid (REALLY never happens).
A friend gave me a free shirt that not only fits, but looks great (RARE!).
I found a parking spot directly in front of the bar (once in a lifetime).
I stayed up later than I should thinking up ways to make my night seem more interesting...

My face hurts a little bit today.
Here’s why: yesterday I acted (along with the likes of Joe Hartzler, Ryan Stanger, Luka Jones, and Colton Dunn, among others) in a Funny or Die short starring Gary Busey. Right before I left, Mr. Gary Busey took a breakaway glass dish filled with mixed nuts, dumped the nuts all over me, and smashed the dish over my head.
It was one of the coolest and scariest moments of my entire career...

Hulu - Saturday Night Live: Update: Garth & Kat
Hooooly shit, this Kristen Wiig and Fred Armisen sketch retroactively negates all comedy that came before it, ever.
This is one of my favorite things to do with a few friends of mine. The fact that it was allowed on a show where it seems like people hardly get to have any REAL fun makes me very happy.

FORMSPRING: Earliest Childhood Memory?
My memory’s selective (read: shitty), so I’ll just share one that has always stuck with me. Age: 5 Location: Laurie Bohn’s house
She lived on a culdesac (which I remember because that’s how I learned the word culdesac). She was a childhood friend (and later, 8th grade crush). At the time, I went by David. ONLY. No one was allowed to call me Dave. OR ELSE. Long story short,...

“I wish I could have written this song for this person, but it has already been written, and also I don’t sing or play the guitar, so I think putting it last on this mix is the closest thing to actually writing it myself, not including recording a cover of it, but as I mentioned (to myself) before, I don’t sing or play the guitar.”

“Are you his younger brother or his older brother?”
– One of my little brother’s friends, right after his college graduation. She’s either way too kind, or a complete moron.
“Why aren’t you saying anything funny?”
