Describe yourself
Im a 35 year old blk male from from CT. I like to talk, at times I think I talk to much. I've noticed that Im also very opinionated. I have a wide range of topics that Im interested in and it usal leads to a debate. For the past 15 years I been a landlord of a rooming house and have meet my different people, who I believe have made me crazy. Im in school ( decided to go back), this is my third year, I'm majoring in communications. I figure life has got to be better than what it is; I need more excitement i my life, and I hope doing stand-up can bring it.
