From Concept to Cash in 365 Days

I had hoped that by 25, I would have been living in LA, dating actresses, and getting bit parts in bad movies as "the ugly guy"... you know, in the event that the studio wanted a Steve Buscemi-type, but not the Steve Buscemi.

Instead, I'm 26, broke, and trapped in Glens Falls, New York. I vent my frustrations by writing comedy pieces for the Huffington Post, I run a blog about social publishing, and, for some odd reason, I'm more popular than Serena Williams, Newt Gingrich, and Stephen Colbert ... on Twitter. Sadly, this doesn't help my chances with Serena or make me any money.

I'd like to change that this year.
