cousin names guy
When I used to go on the Wikipedia page, and I haven't gone on the page in a while, there used to be some guy who was doing my page and he would say that he was my cousin and I was going to be doing projects with him. I don't know who this person is and I don't have a cousin by this name and this person keeps saying that they're doing projects with me. It's so weird.
writing goal shooting
My original goal was just to do stand-up but then I became interested in films - writing a film, shooting one someday, and getting to act in them.
confused moving people
For me and most of my friends who are comedians, if you've been doing comedy for a while, your tolerance for things actually moves. I find it very hard to be shocked, and when other people aggressively take offense to something, I'm sometimes confused.
basketball play trying
When I was younger, I'd get very empirical with myself. "I have a hypothesis about myself. I'll put myself in a situation, see what happens, then I'll draw a conclusion based on the empirical evidence. Hypothesis: I can play basketball." So I'd try. "Conclusion: I cannot play basketball."
crazy school law
I wasn't the class clown, but I was starting to become the "crazy guy" at law school, which is the guy who is not so much "crazy" as "annoying."
jobs school law
I went to law school. I found it interesting for the first three weeks. By the fourth week, I found it tedious. I got bored and grew restless. I had no other plan for a job, because from seventh grade on, I had planned on law. So I shifted my focus from classes to extracurricular activities.
fall thinking differences
I think there's a difference between making comedy and reporting comedy. When you're a joke teller you can easily fall into the second, you can show up and just say the jokes.
jumping crawling easier
Jumping jacks are easier to do than crawling jacks.
night lasts stories
When telling a story about how wasted you were last night, stop.
men enemy target
It seems that man's greatest natural enemy is the target.
multiple-choice choices tests
When I am given a multiple choice test I choose not to take it.
sports real games
To look like you are a real sports fan, when there is a game on TV just yell, Oh, come on! every now and then at the TV.
men guy badminton
One thing you never hear is Man that guy is good at badminton.
thinking ties language
I think the most annoying language is a tie between all the ones I don't know how to speak.
