Are you looking to hire a comedy writer? Or do you just like to read humorous stuff? Then surf on over to www.BigMixUp.com and see what you�re missing.
BigMixUp.com creator Jay Barnes wants you. He wants you to hire him to be your writer. He knows that you will not hire him without seeing samples of his work, and more importantly, he knows you are a busy person. That’s why Jay has put some of his best work right where you are bound to see it�on the Internet, with its billions and billions of web pages.
Now it is up to you, Mr. or Ms. Big-Time-Hollywood-Producer, Senor�or-Senora-Literary-Agent, or MacArthur-Foundation-Grant-Giver-Guy to sift through those billions and billions of web pages, to find young Jay and to hire him. In the meantime, we mere non-job-offering site surfer types will enjoy sampling from the plate that is BigMixUp.com.
And boy are there plenty of samples at BigMixUp.com. We reckon some of you are wondering if Jay Barnes isn’t just another sanctimonious, self-absorbed blogger. Well, in our humble opinion, to call him just another sanctimonious, self-absorbed blogger would be to miss the point. Those people apparently just want to be celebrities. They want us to love them. Jay Barnes seems to want us to love his work. Jay Barnes apparently just wants to be a working writer.
It is not our place to say whether he is a good writer, but it is our place to tell you that if we were in the market to hire a literary court jester, Jay Barnes would top our interview list. The kid has got some range. He can be outrageous (�The Refrigerator Roommate Story�); poignant (�The Realist’s Guide to Shared Online Pictures”); or just plain silly (�Cookie Dough�).
We think that the true brilliance of Jay Barnes is to be found in his photo essays. �Rock, Paper, Saddam� had us hyperventilating and bolting for the bathroom we were laughing so hard. Another photo essay, �All You Need is Hate� rivals only �Doonesbury� and �Boondocks� for its biting political satire. Okay, not exactly, but comparisons to humorist David Sedaris are appropriate. And, come to think of it, a person could probably book Jay Barnes much more cheaply than they could David Sedaris.
In summary, BigMixUp.com is chock full of imaginative writing so it is definitely worth forwarding, has a nifty, 1970’s rec room feel to its site design, and, if humor translates, should be offered in more than one language. Bottom line: Somebody hire this guy…or better yet, NOBODY hire this guy! That way, we site surfers can continue to enjoy Jay’s delightfully skewed view of the world.
Finally, www.BigMixUp.com rates a SiteSurfin’ “T” for teenagers and older because certain essays are laced with profanity.
