I want to be like this guy.

Has you ever seen something totally amazing, and thought to yourself "I should have thought of that!" This happens to me all the time. Lately, i've been thinking about Alex Tew, and his Million Dollar Homepage. He is the epitome of what it means to be a capitalist bum. To raise money for college, the guy basically made a 1000x1000 pixel "e-billboard", and waited for word of mouth to spread the news of his website. His site did so well, that he ditched college, and has other similar billboard-type websites. In six months, he had filled up the page with tacky advertising and obscure website links. He made $1,037,100 in total.

Do nothing, and get paid lots of money. That's the life. That's what a capitalist bum is all about.

His success was due to the fact that he was the first to try this. You can't pull this off twice. He was original, and it paid off. This sucks- now I have to look for something else to do.
