On Vox: Developing a New Scam
This evening I spent with my good friend Kristos, went to our usual cafe with crap service but excellent coffee. We talked for a few hours about all sorts of scary shit that happened in our lives in the past. Kristos is one of these guys who has a million stories, he is a collector, businessman and all round hustler. He's a bit older than me, and I guess I look up to him. He's not exactly an traditionally educated intelectual, but he is extremely knowledgable about all sorts of crazy things, he doesnt own a tv (so he reads a shitload of books) and he is street smart to the bone.
Anyway each time I got out for late night coffee's with him he gets me thinking about my life, where I'm at and where I want to be.
He's got me thinking about money making projects again.
I've always been a bit of a scammer/entrepreneur - In primary school I used to trade collectible cards, but mainly for money or videogames. I didnt even like basketball, but I traded in Basketball cards so I could get stuff I wanted.. Gameboy games, Starter Caps and Sneakers. In high school I used to sell pirate CD's of games, movies and porn. It made me a lot more money than my part time jobs.
I need to come up with a new scam. A new idea. Something to make more side income.
I've got some small ideas. Need to work them out though.
And on the topic of scamming and hustling this is pretty good, there's a whole series of them too:
