ABOUT ME

Who is THE PIZZA?

I am a “righter” who likes “righting.”

I began life four days after Christmas, which means people are sick to death of buying presents by the time it’s my birthday, and I usually just get gift cards. I was born in 1980. My current life ambition is to win something, anything in a raffle. I have never won a raffle prize and I find that hard to believe. Hell, I even won the Mega Millions twice—17 bucks total.

I am pretty liberal and listen to rock and roll. I am a Beatles geek. I am fervently against double dipping and I rage into the good night against burritos that are still frozen in the middle after cooking. I am of average height and weight. I have a nice head of hair. I am training to become strong. As a child, I never had a cavity.

Hey, you’re a pretty good writer. Thinking about publishing?

GLAD YOU ASKED. I’m writing something. Something big and secret and awesome. It’s going to be a book and it’s going to sell a million copies. It’s going to be a collection of essays from my perspective of growing up in the 1980s. Click here for the gist of it. I have a Master’s degree in writing from Johns Hopkins University. My work has appeared in the magazine Writer’s Journal and on other blogs online.

How did you come up with a Surfing Pizza?

I love surf music and pizza. DONE.

How do you say the Surfing Pizza in Spanish?

Oh, weren’t you wondering? La Pizza Que Practica Surf.

  1. Well, my goodness! Thats right, damn it, no cavities and you never had a weight problem. I don’t think I am given enough credit here! You know, you get your sunny disposition, writing ability AND love of pizza from me.

  2. Hey, great site and hilarious topics. I have even begun reading your archives. I have one complaint…why can’t I see any of this on Netflix? I have used the Search feature and cannot seem to find where anyone has made a show off your stories. Pity too since they are mucho funny! Either way, keep up the good work and let me know if you need a toy!!!

    wonderful “righting” (I’m a photographer and it always looked good to me?) and comes at a time when we can use all the humor we can find.
    My best.
