So, today I had my #16 wisdom tooth yanked, totally painless. swelling went down within three hours. Watch the video above. The action really starts at 3 minutes. I couldn't believe the speed and accuracy the doctor worked at, absolutely amazing. His quickness scared me a little, but the result was immediate relief and within hours of the removal I felt much healthier, it has been a total of 6 since the operation and I feel great!
Alright, so I have applied for a business license, still waiting for it to arrive. In the meantime I have gone ahead and listed my first E-bay item!
I will be using this blog to share my progress in becoming a self-made millionaire (or at least being able to pay down some of my student loans).

A re-edit of my infamous Obama Punch video.

Prometheus 3D



I went to Prometheus 3D recently, with A LOT of expectations.

When I initially saw the review I though "What? Is this someone ripping off the Giger style?" Soon this thought turned to awe as I realized that in fact a prequel was being released to the entire Alien institution. This was to be my first movie theater visit in over six years.

Not entirely disappointing but a definite empty feeling came over me with the final credits.
This is Why:

It is well understood that the Predators use the Aliens for sport hunting and at one time in our history Aliens where present on earth, due to the ritualistic hunting of the Predators. If that is so then why is the "first" human evolution of the Alien in our distant future. Are the Alien and Alien Versus Predator stories representative of two separate universes.

What is the relationship between the Space Jockeys and the Predators? We see in the end of Prometheus that the heroine takes off on some further adventure seeking answers. Does this mean that her story will be continued? Will we find out later that the Space Jockeys created the Predators as well?

It seems as though the original Alien concept has been hijacked by the recent interest in 2012. With cave paintings of an unknown constellation leading researchers to a distant planet starts this movie. With the additional twist that the Space Jockeys created life here on earth.

I would see this movie again. It is a fantastic addition to the Alien genre, primarily remaining true to feel of the sequels. However, this is not a horror movie. Prometheus is a fascinating science fiction thriller that almost fits with is predecessors.

Slice The Pie Review of Earning Potential

I recently gave Slicethepie.com a try. Here is what I have found.

More Information: http://www.slicethepie.com
Pay: .05-.20/review
Hourly Pay: Around 6.00
Impression: Appears to be a good program for anyone who rides a bus or has a few minutes to kill with an internet connection. Make a little money, practice your typing speed. I see this as a Win-Win opportunity




Slicethepie.com has an easy sign up process, where you don't provide a ton of personal information. According to their user agreement Slicethepie.com will not spam you or sell your information, as is my interpretation.

You can earn as much as .20 dollars per review, though my highest payment for a single review was .17 dollars. If you were to receive maximum payment for each review working quickly for one hour the could earn 8 dollars. I don't believe this is physically possible, so I hypothesize 6.00 as an hourly pay rate.

I Only Hunt in Self defense.

There was this one time I was working security, a common theme in my early twenties, for a National Wildlife Research Center where they kept several herds of deer. Two herds where wild, One was hand-raised. I entered the hand-raised deer pen, on my usual rounds, when suddenly I was surrounded.

Does crowded in all around me. Sniffing at my crotch as I backed up against the fence. Nervously making my way along the fence-line I noticed a buck out of the corner of my eye. He rared up at me as though to box. I grabbed his hooves and pushed him over backwards. He disappeared into the mulling herd.

I reached the corner and noticed the heard had broken up slightly. I was slammed into the chain-link and dropped to my knees as hooves pummeled my shoulders. It was Buba, ear tag #64, 250 lbs 5 point buck and leader of this damned herd. As I covered up to protect my face I saw an opening. Grabbing Buba up be the waist I hefted him to my shoulder like a hay-bail. Then I slammed him like a wrestler and later felt bad when I realized I broken his right antler.

If your gonna play with deer, don't wear Old Spice.
