Man, who among us has ever been told we look like a celebrity and actually liked the comparison? I’m sure some guys out there get Tom Cruise or George Clooney. Not me. The closest to a compliment I ever got was Chandler from “Friends.” The thing is he was bloated and looked like crap that season. So I’m a bloated crappy Chandler. Lately I’ve been getting a lot of comparisons to Patton Oswalt. Awesome. It got me thinking, maybe I’m just not an attractive guy.


I guess we all exist in some level of denial. We all know that short kid on the basketball team or that boss who thinks he is hilarious but can not tell a joke to save his life. I’ve never thought I was attractive. I’ve also never thought I was unattractive. Let’s face it...Patton Oswalt is not a handsome guy. So I guess it goes without saying I’m not either.

I’m sorry if he ever reads this because I think he is freakin hilarious and I’d love to be able to do stand up and make a living at it like he does. At the end of the day no one will call him a good looking man. He probably wouldn’t make that mistake himself. I guess that is the advantage someone like Patton Oswald has over me. He’s accepted the hand he has been dealt and he has built a career with it.
