Good Old Charlie

the employment train wreck is just ahead
should be coming up around the next bend
just looking for a good place to jump off
got to get the timing just right
got to get my mind right

Old Charlie stole the handle
and the train it won’t stop going
no way to slow down

looking forward to the next gig
the next gig is always the best gig

 

LET$ GET RICH

Vegas EntertainmentTime to reinvent myself yet again. I am now a Capitalist Entrepreneurial Artisan. And why not. This is America. I am now on the road to wealth and financial freedom. Halleluiah!

So, I have this friend, let’s call him – John.

John’s game is to pose as an entertainment writer, as a way to finagle free show tickets to shows he wants to ‘review’. He actual did review some shows years ago, and some of these articles are still online in archives. He wanted to update this as a new store front he can point to when people ask “who do you write for?”

John is computer illiterate, so I created a free GMail account for him. Then I created a free account on Blogger, with a nice literary style skin. I named it Vegas Entertainment. I copied his old stories over. A few minor touches to transform a blog into a reviewers site, and he’s back in business.

In the past I would have done this for free. But this time I didn’t. I charged him $40. Small money-wise maybe, but very big physiologically. I am now a person and a businessman.
