Roofing, Comedy, Trash Orgies and Panhandling

So I’d come to terms with who and what I was. I would probably not be finding a career or a stable job anytime soon and I accepted this. I’d probably also never be as bored as most people seemed to be. In the meanwhile I performed stand up comedy, sometimes dressed up as a fly named Francois. I started a comedy troupe called I Can't Believe It's Not Comedy and toured from San Diego up to Seattle. I write for the local weekly paper on a freelance basis and my writing is seen by many on various websites including my own.

We revived the Tuesday Night Grindhouse only now it was the Trash Film Orgy and it was a six week festival playing at Sacramento’s nicest theatre The Crest, on Saturday Nights. For the first few years it was hosted by Francois Fly, but he and I quit after a couple of years, because that’s what we do. The show goes on without us.

I’ve been on stage with porn star Ron Jeremy. I’ve been tackled to the ground by actor Bruce Campbell. I’ve shared stages (and dressing rooms) with the country’s most beautiful burlesque dancers.

Bryna continues to go to school and we continue to be broke but we have our creature comforts and each other and we’re happy except when we’re not which isn’t too often and can usually be remedied by swapping jobs again.

Currently I’m exploring panhandling on freeway offramps as an artform. When not perched on an offramp with a cardboard sign I still sit in the office of the roofing company but as my two year anniversary approaches I’m planning my next move. And it’s a good thing too since I spend most of my time at work writing about the jobs I’ve had in the past.

You may think this marks the end of this blog, but it's really just the beginning. I'll be cleaning up all of this stories and adding to them, but the best part is I'll be running stories from other folks about their job experiences. I'll also be going out and applying for the worst jobs I can find and hopefully getting them so I can write about them.

Please keep visit, post comments, I get CRAZY amounts of hits to this here blog but hardly any comments. I appreciate links to this blog. Thanks.

PS: I'll work on getting the images going again. I used up all the free space that blogger gave me for photos.

Congratulations, You've reached the end. I hope you enjoyed the stories. I'm working on getting a rewrtitten, edited version published. In the meanwhile I could really use your support to cover printing costs (and to pay for my coffee). If you'd like to donate via paypal you can do so. The first 100 people to make donations of $10 or more can have a digital version of the first rewrite of the book, with lots of goodies not in the blog. Thanks again, and be sure to check out All My Kisses.
