The Jim Carrey-like God: “JOB-SCHMOB! By the
infinite power contained in my
breast, I hereby bestow upon you the title of
multi-billionaire and sole proprietor of the nation’s largest and most influential
fried pie making corporation! Now go make me some more of those raspberry and lemon ones - which reminds me…I’ve already mowed through the ones you made me last week and need to do some sit-ups STAT!”
Why not? (really,

me with Henry Mancini after winning the jazz instrumental category in the 1993 Music Center Spotlight Awards
So 2 weekends back I had a very inspiring experience that I wanted to share with everyone. As some of you may or may not know, I was a high school jazz band geek, spending every weeknight practicing sax, often spending my weekend nights doing the same, or better yet, jamming with fellow high school jazz band geeks (such as Gabriel D Vine, with whom I formed
Monkey Bars). Besides being in the band, I competed in tons of different music competitions, including one called the
Music Center Spotlight Awards. It’s a pretty prestigious competition and I actually ended up winning the jazz instrumental category my senior year back in 1993.
