Originally posted by meriter what do you do for work richard?

I am self employed - I have a small boring business, but it has the advantage of me only needing to do a few days actual work per month, although I sit in the business day to day. Essentially I arrange complicated mortgage deals for example for someone to buy a small farm or something.

These complicated cases pay a big fat fee of like $10,000, but the downside is it is stressful as things can and do go wrong at any moment so I'm often in a state of some angst. So even though it pays well, most people don't survive in this line of work as they cannot take the constant worry of loosing deals as so many things can cause the deal to go pop. So you can one minute have 'made' $30,000 and the next lost it. It's a roller coaster ride for me, but overall I like this way of life as I can earn a decent income for not that much work.


I think it's this background that makes me have this somewhat brutal outlook I have as I'm used to the hunt out on the plains where the law of the jungle applies.

I don't really get why msz said this is an appauling attitude? It's just me being honest about my world outlook, is that so bad a thing? He doesn;t care that most aurthors never make it, so why on Earth should there be any kind of moral crusade when it comes to music making? To me it's all one lore of the jungle and most won't make it.

I do get this sense that some producers feel some kind of entitlment to recognition for thier work almost as a Human right.

If that makes me appauling, so be it, I can live with that for sure.

i don't find your outlook is appalling. I mean I am better looking than say 90% of the people on this planet. 90% of you are uglier. Those are just facts of life. Just like most of you will never do anything important that matters to anyone but your mom and girlfriend. No shame in that. Life is unfair.

by complicated mortgage deals, do you mean you essentially deal with people that are on the outs and trick them into something that appears like you are doing them a favour but essentially you are fucking them in the ass ? And how you seem to think i'm jewish, is it safe to say your money from money loanshark esque job is how do you say , jew work. Can i say that ?

In terms of jobs, i would say i have more respect for a plumber than someone that makes money from money. YOu gets nada. no respect. nuh uh. So fuck you.

Plumbers are Gods compared to me. My Brother calls me a commission crow picking over the bones.


In terms of what I do, people of sound means (not penniless desperados) come to me when all the Banks decline them because they have complex scenarious - say they are aged 60, getting divorced, just changed jobs, maybe 3 income streams, buying a house with a restaurant attatched to it etc.

A typical client profile would be a small business owner that earns well but that does not 'fit the mould'.

I arrange the deal with the very Banks who verbally declined them, but I show the client how to position thier deal better, how to present thier best face. So without me they end up having to rent a house forever, sucking a landlords dick.

With me, they part with a chunk of cash but they get to fulfil thier dreams, so I think they win. I'm very straight and just right off the bat tell em I'm gonna charge a big whack, yet most are perfectly happy. I dislike people like me who pretend they are doing it for free, but really build in a hidden fee somewhere.

But your'e right, it's not a job I'd recommend to anyone.

The only plus side as I say, is plenty of free time and no boss to worry about. I could never work for anyone, I always dreamed of working for myself.

Just ignore him. I kinda respect what he can do in his narrow field of EDM, but other than that he seems to have an ability to only douche out insults.

Okay makes sense. Doesn't sound like such a bad gig really. Hoping I find something similar this is getting ridiculous. I think I'd need Zoloft in order to work full-time again, just so burnt out on that shit can't do it anymore

I've dealt with many clients down the years and I've found it really pays to have a niche service if you want to have a secure future, and you don't have to be educated or anything.

As an example this guy is a sand blasting cleaner, self employed, 1 man band making $40,000 per month. He cleans things like boat hulls and buildings with this sand blasting kit.

Warren Buffet often gets asked what can someone do to be sucessful and he replies - "be the best tiler in town'.

if my parents haven't spent their fortune by the time they die and I inherit enough money to start my own crime syndicate, you are more than welcome to be my head of security but you need to get some neck tattoos , do something with the goatee like a braid and wear a real expensive suite and invent some sort of prologue like jason bourne. Also you need to have some sort of thing like where you are really bad ass but you love the harry potter movies or something. I like complex characters which i can create good inside jokes and nick names. Why do they call you Snape ? Cause i'm a sorcerer, but instead of a wand, i use this navy seal dagger i;ve carried with me ever since that wetwork i was doing in South America.

and you need to have manners when it counts. Like i can't have my security ordering something that would make me look not so powerful. Also as head of security. you are more an image than actual someone that does something so you need to be more legend than man. people need to believe that you spent a year inside a soviet prison and you ate a guard because they took your prisoner of askaban book. anyways i will keep you posted.

sorry, but being the pimp of a bunch of homosexual male prostitutes is not really the same thing as starting a crime syndicate.

i mean, there are cheaper ways to get to see tehlord naked. i know that's all you want

Man, you have some crafty attitude like L4C - this started to be very interesting thread

Cheers

quite right. I guess that means I won't have a spot for you on my bitch roll. I'm sure i will make contacts where you can put your skills, which unless double annal is common these days, are quite impressive. Don't worry, i will take care of you too. YOu will have so many dicks to suck and sit on , all that crystal you thought were just silly dreams of a movie star can and will be yours.
