My brothers got me into things like The Kids in the Hall and great movies like Ghostbusters and Wayne's World. I currently can't get enough of stand-up, Comedians like Louis C.K. , Dennis Leary, Kyle Kinane, and Chris Hardwick inspire me constantly.So this past Wednesday I finally took the leap and attempted my first foray into the greater comedy world by doing an open mic.

I will being doing it again and again and again probably forever. Will I become successful? Who the hell knows but I will become better.
