Things Just Seem To Happen…

Laughing Horse Part 2

ORIGINALLY POSTED ON MYSPACE

WOW! I found the link which lists the upcoming shows at Kingston – and includes my name, which caused much perspiration and shallow breathing..

But I was also looking to see who I’m on the bill with – and I’m sharing with the Invisible Pig Roadshow.. How am I supposed to be able to assess the competition with a title like that? Do they turn up with a pig? Or don’t they – or do you just think they haven’t and in fact IT’S INVISIBLE..?

Does anyone know this person/group – and can they give me some more info??! I’ve tried googling but found nothing more than a bunch of links to the Antiques Roadshow when they had pig-shaped merchandise on it. (Which happens more often than you’d think apparently..)

This is, at least, going to be the most surreal experience of my life..

Laughing Horse

ORIGINALLY POSTED ON MYSPACE

Okay – so now I’m having trouble deciding when to write a blog. (Or do I mean when to blog? Is ‘blog’ officially a verb yet?) I’ve been waiting for something amazing and life-affirming to happen that would give me reason to write.. Apparently my life just isn’t that interesting..

The only news I had was that (as per Lee Hume’s suggestion) I invite the ‘other’ Mike Switzer to be my friend. Which I did.

Twice.

And he declined.

So a wonderful start to the year. A namesake that is potentially a blood relation of mine at some miniscule level doesn’t even want to know me! It would appear being a socially dysfunctional ignorant git is a genetic trait.

Moving on..

I have entered a competition! The Laughing Horse ‘New Act Of The Year 2007’. Admittedly my experience may be lacking, but I make up for that in having a car and being able to get there. I don’t expect to do well (although it’s a really nice car) but I want to really challenge myself so I’ve written some new material for it as well. Come along if you can..

Worst Mike Switzer EVER!

ORIGINALLY POSTED ON MYSPACE

Okay, first of all – I can’t use my name as my address on myspace because someone else with my name has already used it. (If you’re asking ‘Who?’ you need to go and lay down before reading any further).

So I need to be mikeswitzeruk because this other guy is some 19 year old dude living in Colorado. He plays hockey and his hero is Kramer from Seinfield. Yet he manages to have 129 friends?! I currently have 7. Therefore I am the least best at being Mike Switzer in the world. Wonderful.

Does nobody else find it weird asking people to be your friends on Myspace? I’ve met lots of people in my lifetime, and cherish their company deeply. But rarely since I passed the age of 5 have I felt the need to specifically ask someone ‘Will you be my friend?’ For Gods sake – what if they say no?? Aren’t I putting them in a particularly socially uncomfortable situation – it’s like asking if you think my personal hygiene is okay. You might not agree, but damned if you’ll actually SAY No.

And even weirder is asking William bloody Shatner to ‘be my friend’ when I’ve never met the guy. Yet he was the first one to agree, and asked no further questions about what I like! I’m beginning to think he’s not as emotionally invested in this relationship as me..

Now I have to find a picture that fully represents and sums up my personality to put on this page or I have to live forever with the grey space clearly stating ‘NO PHOTO’ instead of them just leaving it bloody blank. Instead of sending the message ‘Hey he just hasn’t felt like doing a photo yet’, like a lack of grey space would, it instead says ‘this guy is so insecure he can’t even find a picture that he’s confident either makes him look good or would make people laugh. What a ****er. Go and be the real Mike Switzer’s friend instead’.
