My words to Ron Shock.
Ron is a brilliant American comedian and storyteller. He has lived such an amazing life that to try to chronicle it here would be insulting. Go to Ron’s youtube page and listen to his stories. He is currently 66 years old and battling a very rare and aggressive form of cancer. In the last 5 years or so, Ron and i have become very good friends and it really breaks my heart to see him sick...

Back in the swing of things
Well it feels good to be back. Mentally and physically. I had to check out and go live in my own world for a while but I am ready to start working again. It’s not like I completely left the industry or anything but I definitely took a backseat in my life and career for the last year. Call it depression. Call it bitterness or anger. Call it frustration. Call it what you want, I...

Circumstance Premieres this Week.
To Nolan Beesley, Gabe and Ben Jones, Tim Lameroux, Dave Starr, Ditty Bennion, Heston Starkey, Ryan Perry, Aaron Padilla, Mike Fuller, my Grandpa and all the other brothers who are no longer here…I miss you guys like stones miss the mountain. We were all part of something special and I wish you were here with me now to bask in the fruits from the work I dedicate to all of you.
P.S. And...

Evolution
The concept of evolution seems so obvious to me that I can’t fathom how people could reject it logically. I don’t understand why evolution has to debunk the existence of a God. There can be a creator that, in addition to creating life, also created patterns of harmony between all life on Earth to sustain the life for perpetuity. Ever since the first single celled organism existed on...

lawry-martinez:
Where I work if you are spending time with a girl, even if you aren’t dating, you need to tell the higher ups about it just in case you ended up dating. Which is really crazy. Basically I feel it would go like this. “Hey, just so you know I have been talking to so-and-so and I don’t know where…

one year ago today...
I thought I was going to die. I didn’t think or know if I would see today or if I would be seeing it from a hospital bed. I was making plans for tying up loose ends and what I could do to help my family financially after I was gone.
I was also at the beginning of the worst and messiest break up of my life. If I knew what the next 6 months would hold in store for me I probably...

I wrote this August 24th, 2007 and knew, even then, that I wasn’t ready to post it but I feel like I can post this now. For those who don’t know, I have this thing called Crohn’s disease. It’s where my body pretty much thinks I have food poisoning all the time and doesn’t like to absorb food or do anything but make you feel like laying in bed and dying. I take...

Cambio
I have a change jar that I call The Wishing Well. I pray for dollars while I work for change.

I always happen across things when it feels like I was supposed to read/hear them. Whether it be music, a quote or just a friend I haven’t spoken to in a while. Well I stumbled across this little anecdote today and it made me feel something. I’m not sure what exactly right now but it felt significant. It’s also just very cute.
A man told his grandson: “A terrible...
Morrison
I just watched The Doors movie again for the first time in years and am seriously considering moving out to Venice to live a bohemian life and leave all this bullshit behind me…
Mark my words. Nothing sounds better to me right now than wandering off into the desert with some peyote and an Indian guide.
“You know that it would be untrue. You know that I would be a liar. If I was...

Who's still counting the days?
It’s weird how you think you’re out of the woods…or that you can see the light at the end of the tunnel but then you wake up after having some dreams and realize that maybe your mind played a few tricks on you. The light isn’t close…not as close as once thought. This will be more complicated than you thought it would be. You underestimated something? That’s...
Day Two - Heroin Sickness
When you’re sick from heroin there’s only one thing in the world that can make you better and that’s the same thing that’s making you sick. It’s strange how human nature works but we’re all addicted. Whether it be to something harmless like heroin or something disgusting like watching the View we all have our addictions. People get addicted to one another...
Day One
The last thing Sara wrote to me was at 12:01 AM tonight. I’ve sent her some texts but she’s ignoring me so I can only assume that one of us (her) has become strong enough to put their foot down with all the games and say “this is it, we’re done.” No more talking it out. No more trying to be civil adults. Just done. Nothing left to say, with so much still left...
Confidence
Confidence is the only real common thread in all success stories. Luck, hard work, determination and talent all pale in comparison to the ability to convince others that you actually are all those things.

What the future holds...
My life has been a giant amalgamation of pain. Be it emotional or physical, it’s always been a part of my life. I feel pain when I go to the gym. I feel pain when I eat or don’t eat. I feel pain when I love people and I feel pain when that love gets away from me. That pain comes from a place inside me that doesn’t love myself. The part of me that doesn’t love myself...
Gaining some traction
So I had an audition for Southland on NBC a few days ago (Monday) and got the call from my agent that I booked the show so this week started out on a good note. Then yesterday I found out that my audition for CBS’ Comedy Development team went well enough that they’d like to see me again tomorrow. I get to have a longer session with them where I can pitch some sketch and character...

Brown Carpet Event tonight.
So tonight kicks off the Middle Eastern Comedy Festival here in Los Angeles. I’m pretty excited. I was thinking to myself earlier and realized that this is actually the first comedy festival I’ve ever been to or performed in. I’ve performed in music festivals but never in a comedy one so I’m excited. I guess this will be a fun first step. Especially since it is their...
