About DJ
I enjoy humor. I know everybody does, but I really enjoy it. Growing up, I didn’t watch sports. I would instead sneak down at night, turn on HBO, and watch comedians while recording their sets on cassette. Then I could play it over and over ago, and try to figure out the subtle genius that is a well-posited dick joke. I never wanted to be a comedian, nor write for a television show, or books, or films. I probably don’t have the chops for any of that, quite frankly. I just enjoy making my friends laugh.
I have been sending out funny (but true) stories to his friends for the past 15 years. In the early years, I would get into crazy scenarios (like drinking a 40oz of Olde English 800 in McDonald’s while eating dinner). But the problem with doing crazy things, is you generally upset a lot of folks. Like police and other authorities. Plus, you’re usually a giant asshole. People who are funny don’t have to do stuff like that. They’re just funny.
So, this website is simply for people who enjoy my sense of humor. I got the idea years ago in my early twenties when I was working for a beer manufacturer, touring around the country doing crazy things. I would post my road-reports and send mass emails to my friends.
During those days I was once in Chicago, on break, and at a random party where I knew just a few people. A girl was introduced and after hearing my name said, “I get your emails – I love them!” And yet, we couldn’t connect how she received them. She wasn’t on my list, nor a direct friend of anyone I knew. I know this sounds stupid, but it was like the highest compliment I could receive. I had a pretty crappy life, I guess. But, I realized that these emails were forwarded at least a few times, which says at least I was more interesting than those email forwards your grandmother sent you about God. Those sucked.
So, ten years later I’m going to try the Web 2.0 version. Enjoy.

I found you quite by accident, but good grief man you are funny! Actually surfing for network marketing ideas and found myself stopping here and forgot what I was doing (which is not actaully all that unusual for me really). You are one of my new favs (said in a most non-stalker like fashion) and if I could just master this whole Twitter thing I will follow you. If not... well, I suppose I suppose I will just hop from blog to blog leaving comments like this in my wake.... Laughing at you in So. California! Mrs. Lowrey
I can't tell you how much I LOVE your blog. Laughter keeps my chaotic life manageable. I am pretty sure I just busted my spleen laughing at Everyone Poops post. My kids and the man on the couch (aka my husband ) keep looking at me like O_O ......thanks for the laughs love from Georgia
shy_one96 Thank you for the nice compliments. I'm glad your favorite story is my most humiliating one. Try to dig a little deeper here and read something where I rock. :)

delfinparis Awwww sunshine You ROCK because you take each moment in your life good or bad and make it a journey. You could write about brushing your teeth and I would enjoy it.
A quirky witty blog AND you're not a mom!!!!!! Now that's inspiring. Thanks for that.
ishclock Thanks for the compliment. And, truth be told, I really am a mom from Toledo.

You kind of rock. Thanks for following me on Twitter. For years I've said I'm going to finally launch my own humor blog. Your site inspires me to make this happen. If you don't mind, I'll post a link once the thing is up and running.
Okay Paris. Finally viewing your non-iPhone version and it's fab--who is your designer? Also, I'm glad you made it out of Florida alive.
Thanks for the Twitter love, from a new "80 year old" blogger.
Corporate Wife I got SOOOOOOO excited thinking that you were really were an 80 year old blogger with an iPhone. And then I just realized it was. Well... you.

Good thing you started following me on Twitter. It forced me to find your blog. And thus stalk, er, follow you as well. I have to go though... I've got lots to catch up on!
CrazyTragicAlmostMagic Thanks for reading! Now, as far as the stalking thing goes, you can start with presents.

DesireeGuerrero Thanks, Desiree! I'm glad you're counting all your laughs, because that's totally normal.

I can't decide if I wish I had found your blog sooner so I could have been reading it for longer, or be glad I've only just found it so I have tons to catch up on.
delfinparis Sorry, msnbc.com was starting to get boring and Discover magazine thinks I should get a subscription to read the articles on their site.
Okay, now you have to do three things.
1. "like" the FB page (up on right hand side)
2. follow me on Twitter (up at top)
3. Email your friends about how funny and handsome I am.

delfinparis Sure I do, where else would you get to read an article on the fascinating sex life of a tick?
Your'e mad hilarious! .. some of the stuff on here is legendary .. " sea harvested pasta !! "

delfinparis ;-)
I love the premise of your blog, DJ. I'm convinced that laughter is one of the most healing things on earth, so anyone who makes people laugh (if it's not too much at the expense of others) is a healer.
Sidenote: I grew up just a few miles from Paris, Virginia. When I was in college, my father once drove to the Paris, VA post office to mail a postcard that said, "Paris is lovely in the spring! Love, Dad."
RiverwoodWriter Thank you so much! I really appreciate your readership and the "Paris in the spring" line is classic.

I like how you are not afraid to be yourself! You are very funny!! :)
Lifes a beach Thank you. Yes, I am funny, but I am terrified of a LOT of things. Most of all, being myself. :)

You're entertaining. :) Which is great, as I'd hate for you to have added me on Twitter and then me have added you back only to realize you're not that funny and now I'm stuck with the weird social media etiquette situation of "Do I delete him or not?" BUT THANKFULLY, because you are funny, I don't have to worry about that. So thanks for bringing the rad, and not sucking.
