Bleak outlooks.

[12:03] Ronin Kurosawa: I can't believe you got kicked out of the NASCAR trailer park.  I'm at your shop and it's looking good.  I'm about to approach a few women about you writing a song for them.
[12:04] Ronin Kurosawa: well, that didnt' work out like I'd hoped.

Things aren't really looking too good. I've made very little since I began this blog (which, in fairness, was about five days ago), and I see no sign of improvement. When Ronin can't hoard in the ladies, things are not looking good.

The largest amount I've made so far was from a lovely gentleman called MeLight Korvin, who has graciously (and arguably, foolishly) enlisted my songwriting ability. I got a lovely L$650 (or, rather, L$617 because of SLExchange fees) from that, so thanks MeLight. Unfortunately, I can't seem to spend to accumulate. I'm now left with L$250 of that original fee, after buying a couple of pianos (and breaking one of them) and uploading a bunch of sound files.

About the sound files: I wanted to play about with Psyke's music script and make a nice, vinyl record. I did so, and I have to admit, I'm quite pleased with it. The record label even corresponds with my stall's logo and layout, so +1 for commercialism. I also made it so that the record rotates clockwise, as opposed to the anti-clockwise fashion that the unedited script demanded. It seems a small, trivial matter - but these things are the important things.

So I uploaded the Libertines' Campaign of Hate and put it on my vinyl. It works pretty well, and I've put it up for sale in my stall and on SLExchange. I very much doubt anybody will buy it, however.

Because I'm beginning to think that I'm never going to see that $60 again. I wanted to make this blog as a testament to underachievers all around, and prove that you can be a talentless bastard and still profit. Especially from cyberspace. But alas, I'm still broke. The rest of my money I'm making from picking Money Trees, only to spend it all in a casino (I know, I know, but it's small change and it's not going to make any difference, is it?).

I honestly think that the only way you can make money in Second Life is by stringing along stupid twats like me by making them think they can make money. I'll need to find some way of exploiting people that are nearly as silly as I am and getting all their money. Maybe I can create some sort of Songwriting circle of songwriters, and use some sort of commission system. I dunno.

With Love,
