people lovely trying
My work is trying to at least define myself on my own terms, and then if other people enjoy things that's a lovely addition.
rap dark thinking
I've found, across the board, that comedians have been very respectful and kind to me. And that seems to stem from the fact that they are just respectful and kind people in general. Comedians get a bad rap for being dark and anti-social I think.
purpose strange comedy
Comedy is very strange to me and I don't fully understand it's purpose or function.
math musical-ability people
I have a pretty good math mind, so I can see patterns, but I don't have a great ear. It's like a tragedy - I can see so much more natural musical ability in so many other people.
comforter
When life gets you down, make a comforter!
thinking want speak
I work really hard on the shows and I think the shows speak for themselves. I don't want to construct the show to prove something.
college comedy going-to-college
I chose to do comedy instead of going to college.
bored half way
I'm bored way too easily. I'm staring at screens half the day. I need to be overstimulated. And how will that express itself artistically?
ideas listening audience
I misdirect the audience, so they have no idea where they are or who they're listening to.
funny beautiful distance
In the distance, Bo saw a fairy. A fairy so beautiful that he felt proud of being called one in highschool.
mind lines certain
There's a certain line between jokes and music and poetry that's a bit blurred in my mind.
happy-thanksgiving broke celebrate
Happy Thanksgiving! I broke into Best Buy and stole a copy of Pocahontas to celebrate.
thinking comedian actors
I always wanted to be a comedian and actor, [...] I basically stumbled into the music medium, though. I'm OK, but that's about it. I like to think I'm good enough not to negatively affect the performance.
hate reality thinking
I think the love-hate is fundamental. Everyone hates reality television, and everyone's watching it. Everyone hates Facebook, and everyone is on it.
