Going online...... and a top ten list

By Shemp Hain - Mar 11 2009, 05:13 PM

I'm still in the process of an image overhaul. For those that want to see videos, don't worry they are coming soon. In the next month I'm planning on either A. getting a myspace page set up or B. developing my own site.

Here is my best explanation of what I'm trying to accomplish with this "image change". My basis for this decision lies on the fact that I'm trying to become famous and thus I need to give the public something unusual. A lot of the better comedians (stand up or acting) are unrecognizable to the mainstream simply because they are boring and average as far as appearance is concerned. Say for instance, you went to your local grocery and Dane Cook was there. Would you actually think it was Dane Cook? It would obviously be out of the ordinary to see a famous comedian grocery shopping but IS HE SO UNRECOGNIZABLE you would be sure it was him? Now imagine at the same grocery store you saw Carrot Top. You might have to do a double take but he is so odd in appearance that you would be 99% positive it was him. If you take this to extremes you could switch the above with Chris Martin (the name might not even ring a bell but it's the lead singer of Coldplay) and Travis Barker (the drummer for Blink 182). Both of these people have had similar success but if you had to bank on one to be self promoting it would be Travis Barker hands down. As often as I listen to Coldplay I wouldn't know who Chris Martin is if got into a bar fight with him.

As far as poker goes there has been nothing ground breaking. I read on 2+2 that Tom Dwan might be getting married but with the whole Prop 8 thing, I think he might have to settle for a "civil union".

I'm sorry I haven't been able to come up with any recent rants on blind people, those that play poker with their feet, the smell of Indian food, the way people pick their nose while driving, how ppl take shits in public toilets and don't flush, why really obese ppl smell funny, etc...

I have been constructing top ten lists for everything so I decided I'm going to post one on here every so often.

This week is going to be my

About Shemp Hain

I just started concentrating on playing low limit tournament poker. I spent the last 4 years of my life living in hell, aka Philadelphia, and I am planning on moving to Atlantic City in late Spring. I wish I was "cool" enough to list something about marijuana here like the other jackasses. Oh wait, that goes under hobbies. I encourage everyone that hates life and everything contained within to read my blog. Feel free to check out my videos on youtube.com when I win enough in a tournament to buy a mic... username ShempHain
