"ya know those annoying bills........"

"YES!"

"well, I've come up with a way not to pay them......when you get a bill in the mail, simply throw it away and forget about it....."

"Thhhhrow your bills away and don't PAY them......BRILLIANT!"

I buy stuff and sell it ebay for a profit, sell other stuff, and work during the summer while I'm at school. I'm confident that a few of the tracks I've written are marketable, but I don't really want to try to sell them until I have developed a specific "sound", mixed and mastered them properly, and have a proper distribution channel
It's hard being broke 9 months out of the year.

As far as actually paying the bills, I give my roommate a check each month because he doesn't trust bank transfers. Pssh.

the market here is so small you have to learn everything in order to survive. good things emerge on restricted ambients, though.

Assistant manager in restaurant and DJ, but I shouldn't count DJing considering how much I'm spending on equipment, records etc....

I'm a full-time video editor and motion graphics designer for a small AV production company in Amsterdam. I do mostly really bad and cheesy commercials and corporate films, but once in a while some cool jobs come by.

oh and to all the unemployed people leeching money off the government (ie: actual working people's tax money): GET OFF YOUR ASS AND GET A JOB!!!

Um, let me make something clear, some of us are considered "disabled" and cannot work full time...........and some of us actually have good reasons for being labled "disabled".......

It isn't leeching
