I just wanted to quickly tell you guys that I am back in the pirate game.

if you're a marketing genius like me, selling stuff is not the hard part.

It's finding stuff to sell. Preferably stuff that will make the most money.

I'm often thinking:

"Hmmm. What can I sell that will make me shitloads?"

That's when I decided to start dressing up as a pirate and doing kids birthday parties.

I shit you completely not.

I used to do it for a job while I was at uni.

The people I worked for charged me out at $150 p/hour, of which I got $50.

In the end I got the sack as at the time i was like 20, and I was also DJing til like 6 in the morning the night before and turning up to work still high on whatever drugs I was taking at the time.

One time after a hard night some kid threw a grapefruit at me and gave me a fat lip.

Loudly I exclaimed in front of the whole party

"FUCK!"

But yeah. I can tell you a lot of stuff about that time but i know for most of you reading makes your head hurt.

Now, adjusted for inflation over 6-7 years, I'm charging $200 p/hour and also drastically improving customer service.

My old boss was an old soak who was pissed off her skull half the time.

And yeah so . . . I've already got my first job and I havent even been trying!!!!

I'm off to tell pirate stories, sing pirate songs and play pirate games at a 5 year olds birthday party for $200 p/hour!

I'll let you know how it goes.
