Wow I haven't written in here since July 22. Every time I say I'm going start writing in here I never do, haha. Well I start school in the morning. Its my senior year of college, wow I feel old, haha. I haven't really done anything all summer. I went to Warped Tour in July. I was supposed to go see Blink-182, Weezer, taking Back Sunday and Chester French this past Saturday in Hartford, CT. But didn't go. I really wanted to got to show since late May. Two weeks ago I just said fuck it (literally I was alone in my room and I actually said out loud, "Oh fuck it") and bid on and won two tickets to go to the show on eBay. But I had no one to go with me and thus I started to freak out. One of my old friends said he might, and then he didn't give me an answer. I called him last Wednesday because I was starting to worry, three days before the show, and he said his grandmother was in the hospital and he couldn't go. I freaked out. I couldn't think of anyone else to go with me and if I wanted to see them on eBay I only had less than three days to sell and ship them. Then at like 7:30 pm I said screw it and put them on eBay. I was relived after 20 minutes one person messaged me saying they might want them and then another messaged me and said if I added a Buy-It-Now they would pay $75, including shipping. I added a Buy-It-Now and sold them. But I still really wish I could have gone. I have been doing whatever I can think of to make money. I sold I shit load of stuff on eBay this summer. I listed 200 items and made more than $748.28. That's a lot. I started writing articles on the articles on eHow.com. the site is full of How-To articles. You write articles on the sites and they pay you for the views your article gets. I wrote 14 articles on the site. I written anymore though because the site pissed me off. They were having problems and I sent them three messages over three weeks and the over responded to the second two, which annoyed me. Then I started thinking about how I bet this site probably generates tens of thousands of dollars in ad revue every month. They can more than afford to hire a few more people to work at the site and then it won't have issues. And when they did answer my messages their answers were really crappy. Since I started writing these articles, my 14 articles have a combined 1123 views and according to eHow I have made zero dollars off of my articles. They are trying to tell me 1123 views equals zero dollars. How? I bet they made money off of ad revue of my 1123 views. (You can read my eHow articles by clicking here). I also had a yard sale in June to make money, or maybe it was May. I sold stuff at the Flea market twice this summer. I have been getting stuff and bringing to this thift store in Leominster called Cutiques, I bring stuff then and when my stuff sells they give me a check. My mom also discovered this place in Holden where everything is free. She got me a whole bunch of cross stitch patterns there and I sold them for between $2.5 and $20 each.
When upgraded to Digital Cable in mid-July and ever since I have been watching a lot of movies. I literally have watched about 50 movies since May. That a lot for me. And most of them were really good. (You can read reviews of all the movies on the Flixter application on Facebook). I also became addicted to the show Weeds. I bough the first two seasons at a yard sale for $2 each and I LOVED the show. I watched the first two seasons in like three days. I then had to go buy season three because the cliffhanger at the end of season drove me crazy. Then I had to go buy season four. With each season I liked the show more. When I finished watching season four I started re-watching the DVDs. Then when I finished watching season four I freaked because season five is on TV now and wouldn't go on sale until June of next year, I checked Amazon. I really wish we got Showtime so I could watch the new season, but Showtime is an extra $10 a month and if I wait I can buy all of season five for like $20 next year. Last week I was at my great-aunt's house and she gets Showtime and has On Demand so I was able to watch the first one and a half episodes of season five. I also four books since the beginning of May. That is a lot of books for me. I usually read like maybe 2 books a year. You can see a list of all the movies I watched and books I read by clicking here.
