Well this is my favorite blog… It was a brainstorm of mine after meeting a friend who had a celebrity blog and was making some money at it.. ( A living actually)

It was a crazy dream of mine that people would actually be interested in what DaveStuff actually has to say.  I figured people would often search for “controversial opinion” (and they do) would want to comment on my silly opinions and perhaps contribe to them too.  I am #1 in controversial opinions in google… But to what avail?

I used techniques I learned from ProBlogger to put this site together and hopefully to monetize it! (Do ya see the ads?)

I have not made enough money to even get the first check from Google’s AdSense program. But that’s OK

I Still Love To Give my Opinions and have more plans to continue this blog and to certainly keep my loyal readers happy… I get anywhere from 20 to 60 visitors every day and would love to keep serving it up!

I’m working on  a new brainstorm now… On a later  post I’ll elaborate on that one…So stayed subscribed… You dig?

Using Debt Cards at Restaurants. Risky?

credit cards

So you go to a restaurant and you order some food for you and your date.

When the bill comes you simply give the waiter your debt card and they bring back a slip of paper for you to sign.

Balance $4512

Tip ______________

Tax $4.50

Total____________

Now you write in a tip and do the total and that is what should come out of your bank account right?

Not always... In fact the past 2 times I have eaten it has said something different when I check my account online. The tip was either wrong. Or I left the tip blank and left cash but a tip was taken out anyways.

So why the discrepancies? Confused

Then sometimes I’ll look at it a day or so later and the balance has changed once again…Either up or down… You just never know.  Guess Ill start taking cash to go out and eat because most of them won’t take a check either.

How risky is it to hand your debt or credit card to a waiter anyways? What is to stop them from writing down that number and then going shopping online when they get off work?

You guys be careful… Ya dig?

Emotions and Addiction

So what are you addicted to?

I know I’m addicted to everything from red stripe beer to ice cream… I gotta have more of everything and less of nothing… Constant stimulation is the order of the day… If not, them I’m sleeping… Let the good times roll! If their ain’t no fun. I’m outta here. Now Tweet it!

It’s not enough to see that new Star Wars movie… I gotta see that movie stoned!

Stimulate my emotions… When I go to the shopping mall I gotta study chicks. Make millions of emotional and mental evaluations. And then move on to the next stage of visualizing the greatness of my conclusions. THAT one AND that one would bring total bliss to my life! Gee what a revelation.

Now I know some of ya cat’s gotta identify with this. Were only human.
HEY! I’m working on it… At least I recognize myself… Get happy under my own skin! (as long as it’s comfortable)
