“Ramblings of a road comic.”

By BT

Whew!! That's all I can say after running the bike at about 100 plus miles per hour at night, without a valid license, with a tinted shield on my helmet which allows me not to see at night. Talk about a RUSH! I feel alive right now, that along with my "Red Bull Milkshake" I just had at Steak n’ Shake!



This weekend made me want to get outta this business with the quickness, and after such a great week last week. Last week I was in a three star hotel on the 12th floor overlooking a golf course.

This week? Well... it wasn't last week. One nighters! Those two words alone will send shivers down the spine of a veteran comic. It always conjures up images of drunks screaming at the top of their lungs something unintelligible, people playing pool, televisions showing a game and about 10 people who actually care about the poor schmo on the stage spitting out some funny.

But in actuality the shows didn't go that bad, but still it had me thinking Wal-Mart Assistant Manager. I could be District Manager in two years!



Then you travel all day and you start thinking, “This is bullshit! I should be in a limo doing blow off some hooker’s ass.” Instead, I'm busting my ass to get to a place no one even knows I'm performing, including the people that are paying me.

But it slowly dawns on me, hey I'm still doing the job I love to do, but it's like this:

Say you're in love or married and your wife gains like 30 "nasty" pounds, not like a good 30, where it goes to the titties - you know you can never have too much titties, it's like having too much money, you can never have too much of either.

Anyway, like if your wife gained 30 nasty pounds but she gave you two great kids and she's still funny and can cook. Well, of course, she can cook. If she gained 30 pounds, she was a cooking muthafucka, but she was still all those things, just sloppy fat. You still love her, but it's got an asterisk by it.

It's kinda like that. I still love my job, just sometimes more than others!
