If I find something entertaining, it will get posted here, hence the title "What Entertains Me". And yes, I'm very sarcastic, so get over that before you read it. Anything from television, politics, weather, food, music...anything that strikes me as funny will be discussed.
You know what that means? It means I get more posts available to me on PayPerPost.com. I know, it could be a lot better...but I went from 0 to 3 in no time. Not entirely sure how that happened, but I'm glad it did! Between this and my other paying "gigs" that shell out money for advertising on blogs, I've made a pretty decent amount. I'm sure there are people who have made more money writing reviews of websites, but I'm happy with what I've done so far. It's making think that I should look into multiple blogs, although I have a hard enough time with keeping up with this one as it is.
There are higher paying posts as a result of my PageRank too. I'm seeing more and more $10-$15 posts, some even as high as $1000 (but, you need a reaaaaallly high PR for that). If this keeps up...I'll be able to make enough money to live comfortably, not from paycheck to paycheck (my bonus I'm getting next week will also help with that, yay!). This is my third "high" paying post, and I'll be so excited to see the payout in PayPal, a month after it's approved. It seems PayPerPost.com is starting to take off, and the more their star shines...the better it is for all of us who have signed up with this great venture!
You know those dog commercials that have been running lately, the ones that show cute little fluffy mutts, with big, brown puppy dog eyes in pounds, with voiceovers saying, "I know I can fetch, I know I can rollover and play, but I don't know why I'm in here." Seriously, whoever came up with that ad campaign knows there are folks like me who are total saps, and have to resist the temptation to run to the nearest shelter and get ourselves a dog.
I mean, I'd love a dog...but I live in a 1 bedroom apartment with two older cats. Not only is it already too crowded, but I don't think that'd go over very well with the kitties (you can see them in the photo posted at the top of this blog). That, and I don't have any room for dog supplies. You know, the dog food, the leash, the bath stuff, etc. all take up a lot of room that I don't have. Nor can I afford the costs of a dog. *sigh* So, whenever that commercial comes on, I mute the TV, change the channel, whatever...because really, I am going to have to start chaining myself to something to keep me away from shelters, lest I get a dog that I just can't have right now. Bummer.
Have to say, episode 2 of RockStartUp ("Trade Show Boogie") was probably my favorite episode of this reality tv show. Why? First, as a non-morning person myself, it was funny to hear Ted say, "only farmers and children should be up this early" as he got up before 6 AM (I think). Hee! Then it was great to see Ted and Brit hand out stuff to the Today Show crowd that gathers outside the studios each day. As someone who watches the show every morning as I get ready for work, I enjoyed watching how people reacted to getting free stuff, even if they didn't know what it was (everyone loves free stuff!). The PayPerPost signs with what I call cartoon bubbles, where people could write in whatever they wanted, was a genius idea.
Then, they ventured off to the Ad:Tech conference to mix and mingle with ad execs and reps. At first, it seemed to be underwhelming for Ted, as he said it didn't seem like 10,000 people were there. But as the day wore on, they started running out of their business cards! Ted and Brit were both amazed (and pleased!) that they were getting more attention than originally planned. And, of course, as someone who blogs for PayPerPost.com...I was very pleased as well. :)
But perhaps the most fun for me was watching the "Relax" game being played by Ted and Brit. Apparently, you wear this band around your head that reads alpha waves, and compete to see who can be the most relaxed, as evidenced by a ball that moves away from you the more you relax. Ted just couldn't relax...his alpha waves spiked, and the ball ended up at his end. Better luck next time, Ted!
Anyway, I think this a great idea for the folks at PayPerPost.com to show what goes on behind the scenes, and how hard they're working to get their company noticed. I think that they're showing everything they need to show, at least from my perspective (but I'm easy to please). I say kudos to whoever came up with this idea. Keep up the great work!
Me neither, until a friend of mine told me about it. It's a small town in northern Georgia, in the Blue Ridge Mountains to be precise. From what I hear, it's a lovely place to get away from it all. The Smoky Mountains have always been a favorite place of mine to visit, so perhaps it's time to take a look at some Ellijay real estate for a cabin rental, or something along those lines.
You'd think I have a vacation spot picked out by now, but I don't. Guess I'm waiting to see if my bonus this year will be any good. My guess is no, since once again my part of the company did great...but the rest of the companies sucked. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised, though? I'm not counting on it.
That's what everyone keeps asking Danilynn Smith...okay, she can't answer because she's 5 months old, but if she could she'd shrug and say, "I have no clue!" Seriously, the fight over the paternity of Anna Nicole Smith's daughter is amazing. I mean, how many men have come forward to claim her as their daughter? I have a gut feeling that it is not Howard K. Stern, but that it is Larry Birkhead. Only DNA testing will tell us that for sure. Can't believe I'm actually following this story, but it's hard to miss when it's considered major news in this country (I mean, it's made it to NPR, I think). Although as soon as this story's over, I'm sure there will be some other sensational entertainment news that will take it's place. Never fear, Hollywood is here!
Seriously, you can look like a million bucks and not have to exercise or take supplements like Hoodia diet pills in Second Life. It's great! I thought about being a personal trainer in SL...but there's no need for one as you can be as fit, tall, blonde, brunette, red head, leggy, skinny, shapely, what have you, as you want! I myself chose a tall, fit blonde, as I've mentioned before. And it's lots of fun, I have to tell you...especially the shopping. Whereas in real life, I have to try on numerous items, usually with little success...I can buy just about anything I like and have it look fabulous on me. It's a girl's dream come true!
Is at the beach, Laguna Beach Club (see the pic to the left). And, if I could rent a place here, like I could at this Orlando rental, I would. But so far, I can't see any rental properties around. Right now, I rent a skybox far above Vancouver Island. It's very quiet and secluded...and it is near Vancouver (well, okay...virtual Vancouver), one of my favorites spots on Earth, really.
Perhaps if I can ever figure out what I want to do on here to earn a SL living, I might be able to afford a virtual beach house. But until then, I'm content to live in my little skybox. It is nice, very private (no one flying around looking in your windows). But I'd love to be able to go out on a deck and listen to the virtual ocean. :)
