Seriously, if these threads are any indication people would read your blog; even if just to ridicule you. [/ QUOTE ] This is correct. As the Cardohate surpasses the Didshate, the popularity of the patented "Cardothread" (how the F do people make the little TM?) refuses to diminish. Ross, you speak to a little part of everyman, although the rest of us have gotten past it, somehow. Maybe we regret what we did to move past it, I don't know. But it IS a touchstone.

Seriously, if these threads are any indication people would read your blog; even if just to ridicule you. I was going to suggest this to my dad with a "Broke Pilot" blog where he could complain about being broke having lost 50% of his pay from Delta and everyone else in the country would come comment to tell him to STFU because he was still making well over 100k. Of course, then Delta had to go giving away money to pilots and he started making expenses again and he's not broke anymore. [/ QUOTE ] I thought about writing a busto blog, 'cause [censored], everybody's got a poker blog, and this is just the next step forward, right? After The Gold Rush. How does blogging make money again? I assume there's some hot new ad-selling trend out there that I'm completely unfamiliar with.

go to grad school [/ QUOTE ] As should be noted, Cardo did make an attempt to do this when he lived with me but neither Ga State nor Ga Tech would let him sign up for classes b/c it was too late for summer semester. He moved to Cali before the chance for fall.

Dude, I'm gonna be living in Austell. [/ QUOTE ] I may have missed this, but did you give a reason why you don't trade in the 15k+ car for a 1k jalopy that will get you from A to B? Cup

Cardo, If you are anywhere close to a genius you can do this: write interesting and compelling original content comment on countless blogs with links to your content PROFIT [/ QUOTE ] It's more than easy to be a genius and not be a compelling writer.

Re: Prs to be making me less broke? Financial Follies
[ QUOTE ]
go to grad school [/ QUOTE ] Well, there's this. http://www.fencingmastersprogram.com/ This is the Fencing Masters' Program, at San Jose State University. I've heard there's another like it at another US school, but be damned if I know what it is. Anyway, behold! The only subject of study I can currently imagine going back to school for. I don't think you get a masters', exactly, just a certification, but I'm sure I could pursue a masters' in somedamnthing in tandem, if I so chose. I would like to be a somewhat bigger deal in the American fencing world than I currently am before going down this road, e.g. win something, anything.
