Gambling

Sometimes I feel like attempting comedy for a living is a little like going to Vegas.  You give yourself an allotted amount of money/time to get something big or at least a consistent paying gig, then if it runs out before the deadline, you should quit and go home.  Cause bad, bad things can happen if you don't watch your step.  

I'm not saying that I have any sort of will power or lack of an ego that would let me quit, it's just a thought that comes through the old brain.
