Audit
I’m getting audited. That’s right, the latex-gloved hand of Cincinnati’s bureaucracy is going straight up my financial rectum. The disrespect – and to think I gave them $15 last year!
As much as I’d like to say that I’m a high roller who isn’t broke, that our campaign is a fully-funded, well-oiled machine, and then challenge Bortz to a limo race, that isn’t the case.
Granted, I made most of my pitiful income in Oxford, where it’s safe from Cincinnati’s pencil pushers, though I’d have to say 2006 was a rebuilding year for me – moved to a new town, started a new company, new band, comedy career and who knows what else? I’ve found that I have the habit of taking on “work” that doesn’t pay, or won’t pay in the foreseeable future, just because it interests me, or maybe I’ll learn something, or maybe something big can come out of it later, and why the fuck not?
Create a new political party and run a campaign for some snot-nosed 24 year old brat with no money? - Sure! Sounds like a great idea, Dave, that’ll pay your bills. That and playing music all day, making movies, and doing free work for people just cus they’re nice and you believe in what they’re doing. Don’t worry that they’re not paying you anything - the world runs on good thoughts, dreams and wishes, so spend your time doodling, or maybe learn a new instrument – how bout piano? yeah Dave, become obsessed with piano, because that’ll solve your financial crises. Now start a another new entertainment label that produces rap beats and creates mock, fictionalized pop star characters. Seems like a fool-proof short term income stream to me!
So basically what we’re learning here is that I’m somewhat A.D.D with my career path, which is clearly the most all-American thing you can be and the reason I’ve pretty much ignored this campaign since I’ve been back from New York. I’ve also been ignoring the campaign because I’m working on some other deals that are actually stopping me from going broke. The way things are developing I should be able to continue to not go broke for a while now, until it comes to the time when I start getting filthy, filthy rich, at which point I’ll be able to purchase political offices. I think this prospect makes some of the Powers that Be nervous, which might just be the reason they’ve decided to slap me with this financial colonoscopy.
Who’s behind it? More on this conspiracy to come later?
