There is no point in ever being bored. Below are

ten sure boredom slayers:

1. Post silly things to your blog. Thanks to the wonders of the Google, someone will read it! Some weirdo will actually search for "spaghetti code poetry" and find this very post because it may well be the only page on the entire internet that has that particular set of words in that order. Tell me that's not cool!

Money is boring. Why would anyone want to blog or read about the moo-lah? It's dull.

Easy for me to say. I could fill my swimming pool with hundred dollar bills and hire a dozen dancing girls to do belly flops into it if I wanted. Been there. Done that. It would be far more interesting to pick apples or something. Being a rich, famous blogger can be excruciatingly numbing sometimes.

(Disclaimer: There is no such thing as

easy money

.
Pursuit of "easy money" is likely to lead to ruin.)

Let's call it relatively easy money, defined as money that doesn't involve doing too much that you don't want to do (You'll always have to do some things you don't want to), money that can be made from the safety and comfort of your own home or some other enjoyable place, money that can be made by dealing with people of your choosing, money that can allow you to tell the assholes in your life to go take a flying effing leap.

Promoting a website is easy. You can get hundreds or thousands of people to visit. What you want, though, is for the right people to find you. Otherwise, you're just burning up CPU on the server for no good reason.

Trying to keep my rich ass busy, I've been studying hard lately to get my New York City Tour Guide license. It's such a great city and I can't wait to show it off.

Though I haven't yet taken the test, I did put up the website. Check it out. And next time you're in town, take a great walking tour of New York City.

This should be a ton of fun. I love people, love telling stories, love knowing so much and sharing what I know.

Made you look!

Oh yeah! Don't believe the hype, baby!

I can practically see them rolling across the monitor. This site is a ghost town lately.

Some of those articles down below had good runs, but few surfers seem to find them anymore. It's like being yesterday's news. One day you're a rock star with a steady flow of traffic, the next, a nobody. The Intertubes can be such a cruel place!

It's OK to be yesterday's news, though, as long as you're also tomorrow's news.

My job sort of ended, freeing me up to pursue some potentially lucrative ideas. Why make money for the Man when I can make it for myself? Don't serve the Man, be the Man.

It seemed like the intelligent thing to do since the economy is in the crapper and the job wasn't very secure anyway. Better to get a jump on things.

One of the sites I'll be putting up shortly is Survive Unemployment, but it's not up yet so don't bother following the link which is now live but still under construction.

I guess I'm just not very 21st Century. These kids today have so much time on their hands for their fancy blogs and whatnot, but we adults have to put food on the table. It's a darn shame.
