Ah, the holidays. A time for reflecting and giving thanks. What is a person like me thankful for (aside from all the wonderful people who participated in the 4th Annual International Subscribe to Matt Aromando (and his email list) Week)? I’d say I’m thankful for my perception that my comedy career might actually be going… Continue reading Lifeguards

Vote 4 Ghost
Holiday decorations are the best. I love how much effort is put into coming up with new ideas for them year after year. Above is a photo of one of my all time favorites from Halloween 2008.
