Explanation of the Social Experiment
Looks like saga has some 'splainin to do.
Ok, so if you're familiar with my 101, then you've seen me say that I wanted to register this domain? Well the unstated portion of that task was to make the site self-sufficient. I wanted this site to pay for itself. Oh, and yeah - with my buying theSlab, I also could use a lil extra $$$.
SO, I was looking for a part-time writing gig on Craig's List, and came across an ad looking for bloggers. Post about whatever, the topic itself doesn't matter, as long as you included some links that they send to you, for example:
Simmons Jannace
New York Office Space
car insurance
Bvlgari Diagono Lady's Gold Watch
Sounds benign enough, 'specially considering the amount of spam Trackbacks I've been getting lately (20/day? gaht dayum). If I'm gonna be pimped via spam, I might as well pimp myself.
Er, uh - no. See - I felt dirty when I wrote the first social experiment post, and even though this (sorta) explains what I did, I still feel a lil grimy for posting those links above. Even though it's easy cash, I felt like my writing is one of those few things I have that I have the complete freedom to be utterly genuine about, and I pimped my words out for some chump change.
Hm...how do I make this spot self-sufficient without being suspect. Paypal donations or Ads by Google, anyone?
Comments
Yeah, I was just as shocked. I've known this guy for a while, but I kept dude under wraps to see what developed (funny how getting written about on a website makes potential suitors freak out. oh well). And er - yeah it pretty much turned to shyt. However, I AM glad that I found out before it went any further.
hm...instead of theOofA being the object of my affection, it was really more like him being the obtrusion of my a$$...lol

Ok SEE!!! Now I am MAD AT YOU *ROFLMAO!!!!*
Oh geezus! You be trying to put people through some turmoil and shyt! Here I am wondering what that social experiment was about and you finally clear that up only to introduce something else to be concerned about. By concern, I mean what you wrote about the OofA (who I see no mention of before July 25th so I was like ????). Say it ain't so Saga! Dude has a wife???" :-(
