Funding/Refunding Ass War
Hello, my name is ---- and I am a compulsive personality.
To fund a war requires dubious enterprise. Rebels will traffic cocaine, heroin, ecstasy to raise funds for the aptly titled war chest. With the War Chest full, they purchase arms and missiles and wage utter destruction on humanity.
Ass War needs a war chest. Though seed money was given by the grace of .... , it's been alternately squandered and invested in scheme so difficult that the credit card carrier had to issue a phone call to verify the activity. A lot of money was spent within 24 hours. A scary amount of money.
Due to the economic times facing retailers, particularly electronics retailers, they've been deeply discounting and just outright dumping items instore. It's like thrift store prices for retail goods. Yes, we are in a recession. But if you have spending money, good for you. The dollar goes farther.
This fall from grace begain with a broken camera. The camera was sent to be repaired, but I searched for pricing and discovered, or rather rediscovered a message board that existed solely for consumer purchasing. (I was tipped off during a 2 hour wait at Kmart). A crazy deep discount. Dumping. I missed out, and I've cashed in.
Other's sell drugs to fuel their habits. I've taken to reselling discounted electronics to fund Ass War (and take away the sting of the rising costs.. Some items are a convenience, I admit. Others are such great values....)
So this becomes addictive in of itself. Walking down aisles, searching for the tip offs of clearance. Getting them to verify the ups and downs. Getting it all together. Buying stuff you just don't need, but figure someone else might need and then you can use it to fund the War Chest.
So... I haven't done the complete math. But it looks like I may have blown it all in this frenzy. The upside? I don't need shit anymore. The downside? I half expected to purchase a render machine iMac, or whatever.
Alas, I'm up-to-date to wage on behalf of A.W.
I've got the 750gb hardrive for video, the 320gb SATA for photos/project files b.u.
I've got the canon miniDV to input all the miniDV tapes.
The Canon Rebel XT to document stuff (and avoid scanners)
The Taiyo Yudens to back everything up FINALLY at 16x write.
