So, you found this site on that little slip of paper, congratulations, that's my new marketing idea, it takes time and effort to make those things, so please, recirculate them, and let other people know the joys of finding it and being confused. don't forget to vote to the right on where you found it...
okay, to those unfortunately uninitiated, let me clear something up, lately I've been doing some 'guerrilla marketing', i.e. free and creative ways to let people know about this site. And I've been making slips of paper with the link to this site, then rolled and tied it with a rubber band, and stuck it in various places. -- in books at the bookstore, pockets of unsold clothes, shoes, inside refrigerators, and so on and so forth...
We'll see how well it works...

how to make money
Okay, my goal in life is to never have to 'work', I.E. do something that I don't want to do so I can trade my time doing it, for money. there are many places I've looked, a lot of them scams... and I realized... no one has a real list of ways to make passive income, I mean a real good list... so I'm going to list the ones I've found, and hopefully, someone somewhere will come along and say 'hey: you didn't mention this...', and I'll research it... and if it's good, add it to the list... anyway - here's what I got...
www.brring.com - every time someone calls your brring number, an ad plays for 10 seconds, and then redirects to your regular number, you get paid everytime someone calls. - or so it says (I reserve judgement until I get my first check)
www.Google.com/adsense - ad's on your site, you control what they are, and every time someone clicks on them, you get an amount based on the impressions of the site. (by the way, go ahead and click on one of the Google ad's to your right... go on, it won't kill you)
www.scoutle.com - a little man that somehow generates traffic. I don't know how it works, but it's free, and it helps get more people to your site and click on the adsense ads.
www.prosper.com - I honestly don't know about this site yet... again, when I get my first check in as proof it works, then I'll say it does, but hey, check it out at least, it's kind of a cool concept.
www.autowrapped.com - Again, I don't know about this one, the idea is that you get a car from them with ads on it, or they wrap you car with ads, and you drive around and they pay you for it, until I see it work, i reserve judgment, but at least there's no registration fee, you don't pay them, and that's a good sign that it's not a scam.
www.sitesell.com - I looked for hours on the internet, everywhere, I only found one bad review, it was by this prissy, no spine, 14 year old who tried it for one day. everyone else say's it's perfect, so... if anyone already has tried this, let me know how it is... I don't know, if it really was perfect, and i mean perfect, why do you pay 300 for it out of your pocket... wouldn't it be more of an incentive to say that they'll take their cut at 50% of your profits you make from the site, and have it be no cost to you?
anyway, that's my list, let me know if I missed anything big.

Things i Drool Over
the top of the line, things I don't have, but someday will, and I hope you will too...
First:
The Tesla... the best of the best... it is an all electric car that wipes out the competition on every level... scratch that... it can't wipe out the competition on every level, beacuse there is no competition: It wins. 0-60 in 3.2 seconds, 300mpc, no oil or gas, amazing handling, and effective security... it just wins... but it's also $100,000, but considering it kicks the asses of the 2k and 3k cars... I think it wins in price too...
next:
The RED ONE camera. way ahead of it's time with none of the technological compatibility downfalls. it shoot and records in a format called 4k raw... it is 8 times the resolution of the 52 inch plasma tv you have (1080p) they don't even have a way to display it to it's fullest yet... which is good, it's also future proof: it can be upgraded easily. it's also comparitvly cheap to it's competitors, at 17,500, it beats the panasonic varicam by 30 grand.
and finaly (for now):
the TLM49 neumann micophone... it is the best microphone i have heard... ever... the sound reproduction is awesome. it has to be heard to be beleived... i honestly could not hear any mic in the sound... it sounded exactly like someone talking... it's amazing, and at 1,500 it beats the 8k and 10k mics... or is at least as good as them.
that's all for now, just had to get my raving out.

stumble upon
the trouble with life is
there can never anything cool or new
believe me, there is nothing out there worthwhile, i know
they want you to behave, to be brave
but i say, don't risk the outside
why go and live
when there's this great alternative
stumbling though life,
browsing and surfing,
and always searching though,
life in side the net
where 4chan met
it's where you try
to find the best pic
stumbling through life
laughing and saving,
then you can stumble something else new
it don't matter
to your family that your lost
stumble upon

to my grand children
"listen, i know i don't know all this techo babble you kids are talking about, but I've been around longer, and i know you don't know about people... they're greedy little people, and mostly stupid... well, not stupid, just not well informed...
"let me tell you about the gold rush, back in the 20's... everyone was rushing over to california to mine gold... and there was gold... a lot of it... but only a few people got the bulk of it, and the rest were fighting over the rest. that's a lot of people digging in the dirt from word of mouth, searching for their fortune...
"what my granddaddy did, he went and started up his own business when he saw everyone flock to california... he saw everyone breaking their backs digging, or breaking their backs at a normal job... he sold shovels, and mining supplies. made a fortune, from other people's greed. was it right? that's debatable, he wasn't any less greedy... was he honest? yes, he sold shovles and and 'here you go' was he smart? hell yes, he realized how much money people will pay to make money...
that's why you never look for money in the ground, you look for people who have it"

zombie
After discussing this with my friend: I have found the best place to go in the event of a zombie attack...
A place with food, shelter from the cold, and heat... cement walls, metal doors, cloths, gas, car repair, medical center, internet, radio, tv, power tools, tons of water, camping supplies, no windows, and is big enough to fit plenty of your friends... costco... that's right, costco. Easily defensible, and full of supplies, it's really the best place we could think of...
Especially if you got a few people who know what they're doing with welding... they could reinforce the doors, make bridges on the top of the shelves for quick easy roof access from almost anywhere on the ground level... not to mention a gas station a long lenth of wire ride away, or cars... really, I have new found respect for costco...

Naathan, in his living room
This Sunday I'm doing a recording of a stand-up show by Nathan Phan... my best friend. And instead of doing this at a theater, it was mutually decided that it would be best to do this at his house... for various economic, and envirermental reasons.
look for the CD soon, it'll be amazing - i'll make sure of that.

$100,000
This one requires some explaining.
See, me and my best friend were having an argument in the car.
He said that a day job was beneficial, I said it wasn’t.
My Points:
1. Any ‘standard’ job that either of us could have had, would make about $10 an hour, at best.
2. In order to keep the job, you must show up at the same place for 4, or 8 hours a day.
3. At a job, you can not do anything else, in the middle of the day, your time could be better spent.
4. You have one stream of income.
5. That stream of income is completely dependent on the time you spend working.
6. That steady stream of income can be cancelled at any time, “FIRED”
7. Once fired from one job, there is no guarantee you will be able to find another.
His Points:
1. A job’s ‘secure’.
2. No one should fire you just because.
3. A job is a dependable source of income.
So I said to him: let’s make a wager, you get a day job, and I do everything in my power to make money on my own terms, first one to $100,000 wins. and after debate on the terms and rules, we agreed.
THE RULES:
1. First one to show a bank slip of $100,000 wins.
2. You must ‘earn’ every cent of that money.
3. Gift money from family and friends doesn’t count, but donations from strangers does.
4. Winning the lottery counts.
5. The money must be earned through entirely legal means. (no thievery)
6. No sabotage.
I realize this is a strange bet to make, but hey, at least it’s beneficial to both parties. I mean, if you win, you get to gloat, and you have a friend who (hopefully) is better off... and if you lose, and you are not any better off, you have a much more affluent best friend.
What you can do to help, simply click on the google ad to your right... yep, that's all it takes.
