...well, it might not be a scam but the chances of making it work are very very slim. I did a similar thing at this site. http://www.globaldomaininternational.ws/
You pay them 10 dollars to sign up and you "own" your own business online and whoever you recruit works under you and you get 10 dollars from them and 10 dollars for every person they sign up and if their signees sign up more people, you get 10 dollars each from them and so on and so forth. It's a good idea but it really doesn't work very well. For that matter, when I signed up for it the person working above me and training me quit because she said that it was taking up too much of her time and wasn't paying practically anything at all. If your manager quits because the system doesn't work, you know you have problems.

Yeah, that's exactly what mine was, except my "boss" didn't quit.

Well, if I knew of some get rich quick scheme that makes you rich quick...
I'd eat fillet mignon seven times a day,
Have bathtubs filled with Perrier.
What can I say?  That is the life!
I'd buy a dozen cars when I'm in the mood,
I'd hire somebody to chew my food.
Be an upwardly mobile dude.  That is the life!

( Hope you Weird Al Yankovic fans got a kick out of that.
And for those who don't recognize the song, look here )

Lol that Weird Al song....

Those schemes like that are called pyramid schemes if I'm not mistaken... It works for whoever is on top... but everyone else just seems to have trouble.

Hey, guess what?  I was asked to be a cosplay judge at the TASS (Tucson Animation Screening Society) event at the University of Arizona this Saturday.  I'm sure there are other people in Arizona who are more qualified then me to be cosplay judges... but as for the Tucsonians who come to these TASS gatherings, I'm one of the most experienced in cosplay.  This isn't like a full-blown anime convention or anything... it's just a small gathering of anime fans from the Tucson area and I don't expect there will be many costumes at this event.  Still, it's nice to be given a chance to participate as a judge in the cosplay contest.

EDIT OK, we didn't get many attendees in costume and the costume contest never took place... But I still feel honored that I was asked to help out.

Sorry to double post but I gotta brag about this. I'm very eccentric, you see, and currently in college I'm studying to get my BA in Environmental Management. So today when the professor brought a piece of Uranium Ore into class I just had to get a picture of me holding it. it was awesome!!! I'm so totally stoked about that!

I really need to start updating my blu ray collection ... I could wait for anime to get onto that format but that doesn't mean I have to continue waiting to get movies like Shawn of the Dead and Colverfield ...

Hi everybody! I'm not dead!!

Yanno, the weekend before last, I was at another meet-up of the University of Arizona's anime club.  And there was a really funny AMV set to a song which (in part) goes like this:

Girl: I like you
Boy: I like you
Girl: I like you
Boy: I like you
Girl (with Boy): and like can lead to like like, and like like can lead to love.  Sure as the stars above I'd really like to kiss you.
Boy (with Girl): and like can lead to like like, and like like can lead to love.  Sure as the stars above I'd really like to WARK you.

and like can lead to like like, and like like can lead to your shield being eaten

Fixed.

Still, that AMV must have been awesome. XD
