Ready to make some paper


I realized how broke I was when I got paid on the first of this month and the next day I literally had 70 dollars to my name. Now, this isn't some sad sob story, and I'm not looking for any sympathy, but to put things into perspective, I can't even participate in my office Superbowl pick'em with a $5.00 entry fee. That's how bad it's gotten. To make things worse, I really needed a haircut... So I went to get my haircut yesterday and I think they had some recent beauty school graduates training there. Bunch of new young chicks that I've never seen and they just weren't as friendly as I am used to. No "hey, how you doing, I am so and so, I'll be washing your hair today... you want to follow me? Can I take your coat?" It was more "hi are you Mike? I'm gonna wash your hair." No "How you doin', can I take your coat?" So I sat there with my gigantic coat on my lap while she washed my hair. It wasn't at all awkward when I had the coat piled three feet high on top of me getting my hair washed. So I got my haircut..and they took my coat, but left my bag on the floor to get all hair all over it. But I really knew I was going to get a bad haircut when the girl asked me how I wear my bangs. My bangs? Seriously? Did you really just say my bangs? Uh, I am a MAN! I don't have f-ing bangs! Up? Down? HUH? Look, I just mess my hair up...pretty much the easiest hair to cut. Just do whatever. Just what you want when you're broke, shellin out 30 bucks to get a bad haircut. Alright back to the point of this... I have an ETSY page! Alright, it's just a start and has some bad photoshop, but you get the idea. And I have a shitton more sketches I can sell. Make great Valentines gifts for your girlfriends/boyfriends/wives/husbands/friends/mistresses. Help a brother out. and if you know me personally, don't buy anything through the site..i'll give you the "friend" discount. Pass it on! garlicisgood etsy site

Making Money


Lately I've been thinking of alternative ways of making money. I had a conversation with an old roommate of mine a year or two ago when the economy was reaaaalllly bad (not that it's not bad now) talking about what we would do if we got laid off. Understandably we were both pretty scared of that possibility, but we were thinking about what we were even good at that we could actually turn into a career. We both sat there and thought for a pretty long time in silence and couldn't really come up with anything good. I can't just be an accountant or be an analyst or work in communications, I don't know anything about any of those careers. Then my roommate said, "I know what I'm good at. I'm good at making bowls out of aluminum cans and breaking in hats." Somehow I don't think you can turn either of those things into lucrative careers but at least he was thinking. I came up with eating and drunk dialing. What I really want to do is invent some terribly stupid thing that just makes tons of money. Like the guy who invented silly bandz or pet rocks. Actually whoever came up with the idea of selling stars was the absolute smartest person in the world. I have a friend who actually bought his then fiance a star. I feel bad for him because he's actually a pretty smart guy.
