The other morning I woke up and performed the daily ritual of rubbing my eyes and reaching immediately for my cell phone to check e-mails, texts and twitter. It’s a pathetic ritual as I’m nude, lanky and pale throughout the entire process. Anyway, I opened up an email that simply read, “WitStream”. I read the email and realized that I was being invited to join WitStream.com.

What is WitStream? It’s a website that was started by Michael Ian Black and Lisa Cohen and it culls funny tweets from funny people on twitter. To be honest, I had no idea I could be a funny writer on a consistent basis until about 6 months ago when I stopped twitpic’ing (sp?) my sandwiches and started writing things I found interesting; turns out, I surprised myself and started writing funny stuff. Other funny people who I found really funny started telling me I’m funny. Long story short, I’m honored to be a part of such a cool group of comedians and writers for whom I have a raging comedy-boner. (I mean have you seen @robdelaney or @daveholmes’s twitter feed? Incredible.) Using twitter, and now WitStream, as a virtual “comedy writer’s room” has made me a better writer and is fertile ground from which to draw inspiration for future tweets. Check out WitStream out. Some really talented folks on there and I feel honored to be a part of it all.
