Paying for the Privilege
I know in this day and age of distractions that people find it hard to connect with others. Its perhaps why social networking is so popular, but I came across this a few minutes ago, and well it made me giggle.
“All you need to get started is a computer and either a webcam or the console you want to play. You can play the casual online games we offer right here on our site, but you can also play on other platforms as well. The more games you are available to play, the more GameCrush Players will want to play you!“
From what I can gleam its an escort service for gamers. I dunno, it made me giggle, why people who play multiplayer online games (usually for a fee) would want to pay for for the privilege of playing with other people?
It was beyond my minuscule mind who came up with the business plan for that, but then it dawned on me, its no doubt going to be lonely men who’d use this service, and they are going to want to have contact and play with women. Really is this a form of internet “prostitution”? I’m not certain but it seems like a less risqué version of “cam-girls“.

So couple of things really, first of all, Raymond Mearns one of my favourite comedians on the planet has graciously given me 5 minutes at his gig in largs on the 5th of September.
He remains to this day, one of my 3 favourite Scottish Comedians, the other 2 are Bruce Morton and Paul Sneddon (you can find links to their respective sites elsewhere on the site). It’ll be the first time I’ll be preforming with one of my heros, and hopefully not the last, so the really hoping impress they’ve all helped me in some way or another and I want to show them I’ve taken their advice and am a better performer for it.
In other news, I’m really annoyed at how I’m caught in this limbo for a normal day job, being over qualified for some jobs, and under experienced for others. Had a few phone interviews, hopefully they’ll lead to something.

Is what you call an Egyptian now, supposedly. So my car windscreen was smashed the other day intentionally it appears like someone used a hammer to break the windscreen, quite serious cracks emanated from the focal point of the blow. Had to get the windscreen replaced…
My sisters car as also attacked a while back, I’m trying to fathom why we’re being targeted, we’re quiet, keep ourselves to ourselves and are polite to our neighbours, to the extent whenever we make jam we give our neighbours jars too.
I do live in a predominately white area, but its middle class, I wish I could find the persons or persons responsible and just find out why they did it.
The good news however is that the car was fixed with no effect on my excess! Shame the police don’t plan to investigate…

its hard coming up with blog titles that have nothing to do with the content of the post. Today’s title comes from @awlbiste thank you!
Anyway new act competitions are a godsend, I know I said earlier how much I need to avoid them, but thanks to advice given to me by @comedyteddy, I’ll be doing a lot more of them, he also told me that: “Bitterness is key to being a comedian & competitions are a valuable source of it.”
So to that end I’m currently in the heats for the old speckled hen new act of the year competition, that’ll be played out on the 25th of September, and i’ve applied to do the FHM new act of the year competition. Off the back of take the mic and a few stand appearances I’ve got a few more open spots lined up, well in talks right now anyway, once they are completed I’ll add them to gig list.
Lets hope I can continue with the gig momentum and get a job while I’m at it.

Glasgow Comedian Chris Henry has made me feel ashamed for not gigging as much as I could be. So i’m currently on the hunt for gigs, and for the first time in ages, gigs outside of Glasgow =o
One can only hope that I can find a job in the meantime, I’ve got a degree in computing and software engineering I want to use it. Stupid recession.
