Interesting Stuff - Random Thoughts and Resources I'd Like to Share
This is that category of stuff that may just not fit anywhere else. It will usually be interesting websites or other resources I may have come across. It could also be some random thoughts I have and want to "get down" on some virtual paper somewhere. Hopefully you'll find it interesting, it's definitely just a bunch of stuff!
Why? Some interesting questions
A fellow blogger friend (it’s amazing, we’ve exchanged a few emails between us and I consider this person a “friend” already. Guess that’s one of the beautiful things about blogging.) over at his “But Less About Me” site posed these questions to the blogosphere. I always referred to these as ponderings.
If showing your belly has become a fashion, why does every woman who wears a short shirt pull it down every five minutes?
Why do Monster Trucks and Hummers go so slowly over speed bumps? Aren’t they designed to go over those things at 50mph?
At what age do you stop being called someone’s little brother/sister? 40? 55? After your older siblings are deceased?
Why do the Rolling Stones continue to put out CDs?
Can anyone name a Rolling Stones hit within the last 20 years?
How the heck did NASCAR get so popular?
Why do land developers bulldoze stands of oak trees, then put up gated communities called “The Oaks”?
If old people are wise, is it this burden of wisdom that makes so many of them cranky?
Why do so many people who live in big dirty cities insist on eating organic food and yet people living out in places like Yosemite eat stuff like Doritos and Burger King?
Who, again, let the dogs out?
Is Doppler 7000 really all that much better than Doppler 6000?
Snack Cakes for Links and Money?
Jason Looney has possibly gone off the deep end. [Why isn’t there a trite little phrase for people who don’t take risks? Something like “Wading in the kiddie pool” or something like that] He’s offering a free, autographed snack-cake to anyone that links to him.
I’ve been reading his blog now for a month or so, very entertaining. I mean anyone with the last name “Looney” has got to be an enjoyable read right? Turns out I’m right. His posts are witty and entertaining and he remains a favorite on my blog roll. This is good since I’m starting to whittle down my list by 10 or so to free up some more time in my day.
I like this creativity. I’m sure in the long run, the additional links will increase exposure and therefore increase the income for his site. I’m trying to figure out ways to do that too. Trying to be fairly creative myself these days, especially in ways to raise some additional moolah! Regretfully, my discretionary income for dispensable snack cakes isn’t what it once was, so I’m going to have to pass that route. I think I would do the temporary tattoo thing if someone offered me the opportunity. Honestly, if it were legal, at this point I’d probably sell a kidney. Hopefully I could get by on my second one for another 50+ years without any problems.
So, any ideas you can think of to raise some quick money without taking me away from my family on a regular basis through your normal part time job would be great. Just drop your ideas and suggestions in the comments area.
