"I Have Never Met Anyone with a Conditional Identity Before"

In everyday life, I serve as a constant walking billboard for many products and people and things. I figured I would go ahead and let this flow into my blog, since more people go onto the internet [and read my blog, I'm SURE] than I probably personally know.

Maybe I should do one of those product of the day things.. But I can't be bothered to write an entry every day. I don't cater to you.

Numero Uno: Demetri Martin.
This guy is SO FUNNY. I feel the need to express me loathing of Dane Cook to help justify my comedy choices. Dane Cook steals acts from people who he didn't think were ever going to be famous. In fact, he thought he'd get away with it because he assumed that he himself wouldn't be famous. Take Louis CK's "Itchy Asshole" act, and take Dane Cook's "Itchy Asshole" act.. What is THAT?!
But back to Demetri Martin. He's clever and real, and he's so much like Mitch Hedberg [who is the greatest comedian who ever lived, however he's a legend so there's no need to describe him] that it isn't even funny. He manages to channel the comedians who've inspired him without stealing their acts or even borrowing their subjects. He gets to you in a very realistic, but yet silly, way. It leaves you saying "That's so true!" but you're laughing at the same time. I love his material, and everyone on the face of the earth should hear it.

Deux: Mozilla Firefox's "StumbleUpon"
SO COOL. If you use Firefox as your web browser [which you should], you can get this add-on called "StumbleUpon". It's this little button that, when you push it, takes you to the most random websites based on your specifications of interests. Some of them are the coolest things I've ever seen, and I would never have discovered them without this little button. I LOVE STUMBLEUPON.

So this was sort of a lame summary of the things I love right now, but maybe I'll pull a couple out, say, per ENTRY. Ambitious, but we're getting there.
