Smoking My Friends Down to the Filter

Photobucket I travel a lot. I write sketches, do improv, stand up comedy, and just artsy stuff in general. I toured with a pop band and it was the worst thing ever. Did some short films that you will never see. I get asked to punch up other peoples work a lot. The credit for the title of this blog belongs to Tom Waits.

So me and a friend were talking about video games and he loves sports games. I do not care for them, or what they are based on. I love playing sports but watching them is the definition of wasting your life away. Now some sports games have some how snuck into my life, mostly due to memories of shared good times when I got roped into them. Well I mention, to said friend, that the only sports games I own are NHL08 and NHL2K8, I must admit the NHL2K8 happened because I bought it on accident instead of NHL08. So my brother says, “And the only reason he owns that is because you can play as our brother for goalie.” My response was “Whaaaa?! I bought it because I actually enjoyed it. You can play our brother as goalie?” And Levi responds “I thought that was the only reason you bought it, because thats fucking cool. Thats the year the Hurricanes won right?” Come to find out he is right and I am so much of a sports hating ass that I didnt even think about the fact my brother was on that team the year they won the cup so naturally he would be in the video game. Smart, S-M-R-T.

* I understand video gaames are also a waste of life, to be honest I rarely play. The only reason I bought a system was to keep in contact with friends on the east coast when I moved to California to pursue a comedy career. And then I rarely played it still…
