So when I graduate high school, a day in May I
can't wait for, I plan to have one of the best summers of my life.
Unfortunately, school will start back up in August. I plan to attend
Kaskaskia College and get degrees in English and Theatre Arts. I then want to move up to Chicago and attend a college
that will give me a Masters degree in either journalism or teaching.
In my spare time, aside from school and work, I want to take writing
classes at the world-famous Second City Theatre
(click
here for link). My ultimate dream
goal is to become a sucessful writer, specifically a comedic one.
However, if all fails and
nothing works out, then I will have my English degree to fall back
on. Also, as much as I love the ladies and the kids, I don't think I'm ever going to
become a family man. Don't ask why, its just who I am. Who knows, maybe
fate will prove me wrong. My
overall life dream is to become very
successful and happy, and hopefully leave my mark on history before I pass on.

All my life people have been telling me I should do stand up. I've
always had a love for it, but I've never found myself
funny enough to be a stand-up comic. However, I don't know what
the future holds. There's a list of some of
my favorite comedians in the sidebar. Other favorite comedians
include:
Aries Spears
Bernie Mac
Woody
Allen
Charlie Murphy
