I'm gonna do the twist (I'm gonna do the twist)"
-Iggy Pop, Success
Yesterday I received $100 from Google. This is because I whore out some space on the Ozone Shack for advertisements. After almost two years, the Ozone Shack finally made some money. They won't pay you until you earn at least $100, and it took me this long just to make that much.
But let's face it. I made money. I made a hundred fuckin ducats. So that's about eighty dollars profit, since it's ten dollars a year to lease the domain name. That means I made about eighty-nine cents a post. Even a lost-generation Orwell was making more than that (adjusted for inflation, converted from pounds and/or francs).
It's ok, I'm like an indie band among blogs. Because I have actual readers, so it's not like one of those blogs that the only writer and possibly his mother reads. But at the same time, you're basically seeing me play in a small, garage-like venue (for example, a garage) and there are seven other people in the room and we're a pretty mediaphobic band so you have to work really friggin hard to find us so you can stand there with your can of PBR while we shoegaze and make almost-witty stage banter whilst wearing ironic t-shirts and making some obscure reference to a book that the frontman and only the frontman has read. That is the Ozone Shack, and it is now a profitable venture.
All I know is that I need to try a lot harder.
