I need to go to NYC and become a stand-up comedian.

Don't ask me why, my brain keeps telling me to do this. It has been for the last two weeks on a nearly daily basis.
Not all the time.. just once a day this voice in my head.

It makes no sense at all.
None whatsoever.
I've never done anything at all on a stage, maybe a presentation or two. And sure, I may throw in a joke or two to soften up the crowd before I run them through the slides... but those ppl get payed to sit there and listen to me.
I also don't think I'm particularly funny, I have my moments. But I'd have to compile those moments for years, and even then I'd probably just end up with a random list of completely unrelated puns. Who'd sit and listen to that?

And why NYC?
Sure it makes sense to *NOT* go to LA because that's where all the stand up comedians go.
And they all have that idea for a sitcom.
And they all say they just have this job as a <insert below minimum wage crap job here> while it lands.
And they all know <insert famous person here> who really believe said script is unbelievably awesome.

Why the US at all. I love the country, don't get me wrong. At least there must be a reason why I've been there on vacation some 9 odd times. But I could also try the UK, for me it's much easier (and cheaper!) to just go there for a weekend and give it a shot.

And you know what... I think it's the same bloody voice that told me to start a bloody farm in Romania.
