Something Always Turns Up

"Boys, I know show business. Something always turns up."
-"Telegram for the Three Amigos"

I paid bills yesterday and today. The bank account holds over a hundred doll hairs, which is due in large part to a one hundred doll hair cash deposit I made today. But then my mom asked me to send her my banking info so she can deposit a check. I can only assume that the check in question is her inheritance being funneled through me for tax reasons, which has always meant that I will have thousands in my bank account. Maybe, what, $18k?

The bright side to the impoverished nature of my situation is that eventually, drugs and booze begin to feel unwieldy as an extra expense. That combined with the timing of the new year means that I turn this poor perspective into a work ethic. Suddenly, it is time to get serious again about writing stuff. Those daily comedy songs? Compile them (and some of my standup) into an act. So I have spent today putting that together just to see what it might look like. Well, also to potentially perform it.

Who knows, maybe I can finally get enough ready to actually go to an open mic again. That would be quite the occasion.
