My kind of telly comedy just doesn’t get written anymore. Perhaps because there’s effort involved.

I know, this post is just a moan.

I have a record in office, as well. And all Americans have seen that record. September the 4th/2001, I stood in the ruins of the Twin Towers. It’s a day I will never forget.

A certain friend of mine has decided to open a business, based solely on the fact that he was interviewed by this half-Italian chick once who he fancied (and decided on the spot that this was reciprocated) and thought, “hey I could do what she does, I mean if this hot bird can do it….”

I have been very critical of his “business plans” so far, but when he left my place yesterday after a free consultation I thought to myself, “you know what, inspiration for success has come from far unlikelier places before.”

Then I guffawed, because so has inspiration for abyssmal failure. And its hard to tell the difference.
