Many moons ago, I started this Blogger profile in order to make some extra cash. I was hoping to supplement this extra cash with whatever money or cash prizes I would make while applying for scholarships and filling out surveys. Also, I did some actual work for a living.
Have you ever tried filling out surveys? Just answer a few questions about your habits as a consumer or what you do for your free-time, and you could earn up to $250 a week! It's fast, easy, and...you'll be inundated with email after email for each new survey you have to fill out.
How is it that filling out stuff online for money is even more tedious than anything I've done for school or work? Hell, I had to make signs out of glitter and construction paper (it was a college job) and that still wasn't as tedious as any of the stuff I've had to do online. Granted, there was a supervisor talking me through it, but still...
You see, there's a little spot called ScholarshipPoints.com. It lets you earn points which will go toward a scholarship drawing; the more points you earn, the better your chances are of winning. All you have to do is join such reputed research groups as Zoom Panel or Harris Poll Online and fill out surveys for them, and you'll get a thousand points!
As experience has taught me, if you can't "Join" them on Facebook (which is no longer an option, since you can only "Like" a group anymore), then it's simply not worth it. Of course, if anyone has experience with these particular groups I've mentioned, I challenge you to convince me otherwise (especially if you've managed to "Join" them on Facebook).
One site I've signed up for is MyView, which has semi-regularly been sending me emails for surveys I apparently need to fill out. The only problem is that they tend to want information on your "consumer habits"; they ask questions ranging from how many household appliances you typically buy, to the last time you went on vacation. Of course, if your broke ass doesn't have anything in the way of "consumer habits," and you fill out "N/A" for all of their preliminary questions, they tell you, "Sorry, but we are unable to find an appropriate survey for you." So, no survey, no money.
For your information, I never buy household appliances, and the closest I ever come to a vacation is the Wal-Mart parking lot for about an hour at a time, whenever either my home or dorm life gets to be too much. Hell, the only car I've ever had (and still drive to this day) is almost as old as I am. Between that and the computer with which I am on the Internet right now, I haven't made a whole lot of big purchases. Which means that, as far as researchers are concerned, I am useless and might as well not exist. (I am starting to get back into the groove of at least renting movies or heading to the theater, if for no other reason than my Brewhaha reviews.)
Yes, I know you have to "spend money to make money," and I guess maybe my movie-related expenses and my "investments" (the car, the computer, maybe a home of my own eventually) might qualify. But when was it that our researchers decided that you need an entertainment budget just to qualify for their surveys? When was it that whoring out our wallets to consumerism became rewarded? When did this happen, and how did I miss the memo? (By the way, "RED" is awesome, and it beats "The Expendables" by a mile.)
If anyone needs me, I'll be in the discount aisle. By the way, my editor? You know, the guy who posts my notes and "bio" at the end? Yeah, I've cut back his hours.
Note: The Brewsky is an enthusiastic contributor and...wait, he did what?

The Weekend Update
I realize it's been a while since I've updated (about three days or so, which is still forever in Internet time), but since I have to be up bright and early tomorrow to help someone move, I thought I'd try something new and do a spur-of-the-moment post before I go to bed. This post is what I like to call a quick "weekend update" on...well, stuff that needs updated.
First of all, I think many of us were surprised that Insane Clown Posse came out as Christians. Of course, I doubt many people would be surprised to find out they are Christians, especially considering this is a Judeo-Christian nation anyway and they happen to be part of this Judeo-Christian nation (even though they may not be "practicing Christians"). Yes, apparently ICP is nothing more than the most elaborate attempt to witness to non-Christians in the history of mankind. Critics call it a publicity stunt (if not a publicity nightmare), while fellow Juggalos call them "some dumbshits." (Personally, though, I am looking forward to their new hit single on "fuckin' magnets, how do they work?")
The trapped miners in Chile have officially become "untrapped," thanks to the ingenuity and untiring efforts of rescue workers. Accounts on the part of the rescued mine workers themselves paint a story of the trapped miners drinking polluted water, breaking into fist fights, and at some points deciding to eat themselves.* Meanwhile, Jon Stewart uses the situation as comic fodder for a "Chile's Baby Back Ribs" joke. Nice one.
Last, but not least, Oprah appeared on The Daily Show last night, offering studio audiences...oh, just watch. And try not to feel bad about the twinge of jealousy you're probably feeling, much less on behalf of those of us who have "shit to do" that day.
*Yes, I realize they didn't actually allude to cannibalism per se. The article in question gives the impression that their bodies were simply eating their own fat as a sort of survival mechanism. So no, I highly doubt they were trying to decide who was going to get eaten first...

This Just In
You know how I keep complaining about the "Follow" button not working? Well, now that's fixed, and I have just succeeded in following another blog. So, yes, all is right with the world. (Barring, of course, the stuff I've been complaining about on a regular basis...)
In case you're curious, my next Brewhaha review should be coming this Wednesday. This one will be on "MacGruber."

Walmart: Save Money...But Not Paper!
Not too long ago, I ran out of paper for my printer, because I've been printing a lot of stuff off of my computer lately. At first, I decided to go to my local library to print off this stuff (one of many free services offered by your local library, including books, newspapers, periodicals, long-distance systems with other libraries, and water and cookies for those who come in hungry. Also the librarian's not bad-looking either...).
In a fit of inspiration, though, and upon realizing that I was only allowed to print off so many pages in one day (since I'm writing my doctorate on the evils of Insane Clown Posse, I need a lot of paper), I ended up going to Wal-Mart to buy a package of paper. (Less than six dollars for six hundred sheets--you can't find a buy like that anywhere else!)
I proceeded to check out the movie section, since I'll need to write something for my Brewhaha blog eventually (check out my new Watchmen review!) Of course, like most of America, I'm trying to save my money, so I headed to the self-checkout register with nothing more than the package of paper in my hand.
I scanned the paper, put it in the meticulously-weighted bagging area (which, thankfully, did not malfunction and ask me to "PLEASE CHECK YOUR ITEMS."). I swiped my debit card because I've been doing a decent job of saving money for occasions such as this, and as I grabbed my bag, I waited for the receipt to come out.
And then I waited. And then I waited a little bit longer. And as I watched the receipt come out of the self-checkout machine, I went to grab it, but apparently it was still printing out the rest. So I was forced to wait a little bit longer.
About twenty long seconds later, this was what finally came out:

Above and Beyond the Call of Duty
OK, seriously, my "Follow" buttons have not been working since I got on this site. I'm still following just the one blog, because I can't seem to follow anyone else. I've tried the Help forums, which is fine, if you want to wait...say, a matter of months before anyone gets back to you, but otherwise, I can't get them to work.
Man, whatever.
-----------
In early 2008, twenty of our loyal soldiers found themselves ambushed by a group of insurgents, 150 strong, as they opened fire on our troops. It's at this point I'd like to remind you of a certain video I put up, where our Marines are reduced to a crying wreck...
Sadly for America's enemies overseas, this was not the case for Sergeant J. Miller, a Green Beret and elite special forces operative who happened to put the "elite" and "force" in "elite special forces." Caught in the hail of enemy gunfire, he ordered his group to fall back before jumping out in an attempt to lure the insurgents' fire away from his comrades, all while unleashing hell on the terrorist sums-o'-bitches.
The Epoch Times gives a breakdown of the skirmish, which took place in a remote mountain region in the Kunar Province of Afghanistan. A routine combat operation (at least, as "routine" as a combat operation can get in the war on terror) went south as a group of Green Berets found themselves ambushed by Taliban operatives. Their team leader, one Captain Robert Cusick, was wounded in the exchange, leaving Miller to assume command. After ordering his teammates to fall back, he provided what can succinctly be described as a "diversion," drawing fire from approximately 100 terrorist sumbitches and giving his comrades a chance to escape.
Literally, a hundred-to-one odds. What have you done lately to serve your country?
At some point in the exchange he was apparently struck, as would be expected when you are actively trying to draw enemy fire away from your comrades. Even as he was shredded by enemy fire, though, he continued to throw grenades at the enemy and call out their positions to his comrades. His wounds finally took their toll, though; out of the two dozen operatives on his team, he was the only one to die. Two of his comrades managed to brave the enemy fire and were there with him during his final moments.
His parents were invited to Washington D.C. earlier this week, presumably so Obama could confirm whether or not that kind of badass runs in the blood. His family and teammates were present at the October 6 ceremony at the White House. In honor of their son's courageous actions, the President presented to his parents the Medal of Honor:
"It has been said that courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point. For Rob Miller, the testing point came nearly three years ago, deep in a snowy Afghan valley. But the courage he displayed that day reflects every virtue that defined his life."
His mother, speaking on behalf of the fallen hero, said, "When we learned about the details of what Robby had done to receive the Medal of Honor nomination, we weren't surprised..."
Oh, it has to run in the family...
Man, whatever.

A Fluff Piece
So I was just messing around on the Internet, looking for a nice fluff piece to blog about, when I read the following headline:
"2 Men Face Murder Trial in Beating Death of Mentally Ill, Homeless Man."
2 men. 2 MEN. Two grown-ass men. Beat a mentally ill, homeless guy. To death. To death. They beat him to death.
The fuck?
If you're curious what their alibi is, the victim in question, Noel Lopez, was beaten to death at a Seattle construction site because he was flirting with some 15-year-old girl. Which is fine if this 15-year-old girl happened to be a girlfriend of one of his attackers, but I suspect that isn't the case...
"They also plan to present evidence showing that one of the defendants, Steven Bauder, an aspiring wrestler nicknamed 'Enforcer,' was angry with Lopez for challenging him to a wrestling match."
Why do I somehow suspect alcohol was involved? The article doesn't mention anything about alcohol, but somehow I suspect...
"If Bauder, 25, is convicted, prosecutors will seek to have his sentence enhanced by claiming he committed the murder as a member of a street gang, the Downtown Juggalos."
Seriously? There's a Juggalo "gang" now?
For those of you who don't know what a Juggalo is, I envy you. More to the point, though, Juggalos are the self-proclaimed fans of the rock/rap group known as the Insane Clown Posse, a bunch of white guys who dress in black-and-white clown makeup and swear a lot. (That last sentence fragment, by the way, refers to both ICP and their fans...)
See Exhibit A below...
Featuring either "Insane," or "Clown," or "Posse." Or maybe it's some Juggalos, seeing as how they're "all up in this bitch," but I don't really care. If you're wondering why their lips don't match up with the rhyming, that's really not how ICP rolls anyway. They don't give a shit. They're like Tupac. (Except, you know, white. And somehow still alive...)
First of all, I think we can all agree that beating some mentally-handicapped guy to death is a bad thing to do. In fact, it's downright horrible, and there's probably a special place in hell reserved for those who would even think of doing such a thing. This is assuming, of course, that our perps aren't completely fucked-up in the heads themselves.
This brings me to my second point, which is that the Juggalos responsible for this heinous, nauseous, outright disgusting act of violence are not representative of ICP or their fans. Assuming Bauder and his accomplice with the nice, normal-looking hair were put up to it by a gang, this hypothetical gang and the rest of the Juggalo fanbase are not one and the same.
Yes, Juggalos are some dumb shits, but they are not all like Bauder and Associates, in the same way that not all Germans are like Hitler, and not all black people are like Kanye. And not all white people are like these guys...
Hmmm...I'm starting to see a certain creative direction here.
Note: Following the publication of this story, the defendant revealed himself to be judge, jury, and executioner. "We were trying to make a point, that you don't force yourself on someone and you don't treat people bad. We just wanted him to atone for his sins, but he took the coward's way out and died."
The Brewsky is not amused.

Teabagger...I mean, "TEABAGGER MELTDOWN!!!"
So here I was on the Internet, minding my own business, when...
For those of you who happen to have slow Internet connections, I'll give you a quick synopsis of the video:
"I can't stand socialism, and I can't stand Communism! The only good Communist is a DEAD COMMUNIST! (You want me to say anything more? Thank you, sir!)" *to passers-by* "THE ONLY GOOD COMMUNIST IS A DEAD COMMUNIST!! YEEAAAHHH!! THE ONLY GOOD COMMUNIST IS A DEAD COMMUNIST!!"
Too short? Okay.
"I am originally from Nicaragua, I ran away from Communism, I realize Communism does not work, socialism does not work, and the death of America will be socialized medicine."
"Sir! If a veteran's unable to function, because of a war wound, we have charity hospitals! We welcome them in New Orleans, we have charity hospitals for those who can't work. But I myself am a veteran! A United States Marine veteran, that fight for this country...BELIEVE IN FREEDOM! And DEATH TO THE DAMN COMMIES!"
*addressing someone in the crowd* "Are you a Commie? ARE YOU A COMMIE!? No? Then stay alive!"
"Get out of here, Dead Commie, before I BEAT YOU WITH THIS FLAG AND THROW YOU INTO THE RIVER!"
"What did you do? WHAT DID YOU DO!? I FIGHT FOR THIS COUNTRY! YOU PARASITE SOCIALIST!!"
"COMMUNIST LOUSE! COMMUNIST COCKROACH!!"
Okay, so he lost his point about halfway through. Unless, of course, his point is that we should hunt down and kill thoseCommunist Cock COMMUNIST COCKROACHES! With their COMMUNIST MEDICINE!!
In his defense, regardless of whether or not he actually is a Marine, and regardless of his national origin, I don't believe he's against free health care per se (as evidenced by his comments of the "charity" health clinics), but rather free health care that happens to be institutionalized and made mandator...
"COMMUNIST LOUSE! COMMUNIST COCKROACH!!"
You can almost feel this apparent distaste of his for the socialization of America through the screen. As you can feel his desperation as he tries to convince...
"THE ONLY GOOD COMMUNIST IS A DEAD COMMUNIST!! YEEAAAHHHH!! HEY! HEY, HEY HEY! LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME!! DEAD COMMUNIST!! DEAD COMMUNIST!! YEEEAAAHHHH!!!"
Okay, truce! I call truce...
Note: The opinions of The Brewsky are not those of Fox News or its affilia...seriously, at what point do you kids today start giving up sex to keep Stewart and Colbert on the air? We at Fox News find that a little bit hard to believe. One in ten viewers? Really? I mean...really? It figures the liberal media would have you believe that...
