I've been putting a lot of time and energy into online advertising and have found some good free sites to list your service on. Thumbtack is a great one for getting your business out there for free and I have gotten some gigs out of it so I recommend giving it a shot.   Its a very organized site and you can set up your profile in minutes.  

Take a look at my profile here and let me know what you think of them!

Really?  I have been helping a painter on some jobs and it reminded me how dull and boring this work is.  I did it for 10 years before moving to NYC to "make it" in comedy.  Well, I didn't make it in the four years I was up there so now I'm back in the painting field part time.  I hope this economy picks up speed and I start getting some gigs again in the comedy world.  Its not that I don't like working its that I don't like just working for money and nothing else.  There has to be more than just working to get by.  Isn't there?   I wish someone told me when I was little that I can do whatever I wanted and money would follow and not that I have to go to college to make it in this world.  Its not for me.   Well, I just wanted to let this out to the world.

I had to go to MA via United airlines, I'm not a big proponent of flying....   So I got on the plane and to start with I was sandwiched in between 2 guys whose combined weight was around 575 lbs.   The 18" seats were not wide enough to accommodate their 24" wide butts so they spilled over onto my seat like a bag of pudding, just oozing fat onto my shoulders and arms.  To top that off there was a lady a couple seats back who had this nasally chainsaw voice which pierced through my Bose noise cancelling headphones even with my music playing loudly.  I even tried Guns N Roses and she still made it through Axle's voice.  I was waiting for someone on the plane to snap at her but nobody did.  I did get a smile from a guy to my right saying that he thought it was as outrageous as I did that this lady could talk so much, it was comical.   And the icing on the cake was the barking dog.  I had no idea that you could bring a dog on the plane like that, I thought they had to put them down below in the cargo area, the dog barked the whole time.  It was a surreal experience that I just wanted to share with everyone.  We've come a long way in air travel.  

You're walking in a field out in the country and you see a plant growing.  Out of curiosity you try smoking some of the buds on this plant and end up feeling euphoric and happy.  You lie down in the open field and look up at the clouds going by and you see all kinds of shapes and then you fall fast asleep.  A couple hours later you awake and head home with a few more buds from this magical plant which made you feel so good inside.   While driving home you pass a homeless man sitting on a curb in the city nearby and watch him drinking something out of a paper bag and wonder if this is what caused him to lose everything in his life, a sickness, a disease, alcoholism..... After passing through the city a policeman stops you because your tail light is out on the right side.  In stopping you he smells this bud in your car and asks you why you have this with you and proceeds to arrest you for having this "illegal substance" in your car....  

Something is wrong with this logic, all you have done is taken something from the earth and enjoyed in whatever way works for you.  There is some skewed thinking in the government's thought process.  Its time to just let people do what they want with their lives and stop parenting us.  We're all adults.  I asked my doctor if smoking weed causes cancer and he said no it doesn't.  If its harmless to our health, and actually has health benefits then why the stigma?   Wouldn't Jamaica be desolate by now if it caused cancer?   Wouldn't Jamaica just be a bunch of pot fields with a few cultivators and some runners waiting in speedboats to drop on the coast of Florida?
