Hugo GuzmanA chat With My Dad
Well, here is the latest development in my life. I have quite a bit of cash, but no income and it is slowly draining away. All I have to support me at the moment is this Orble blog where I get money from people clicking on advertisements….hint hint…..oh don’t worry….I will wait…
*twiddles thumbs*
Did you click some ads yet, I sure hope so. Anyhoo…I am saving up to get a new amplifier for my guitar and a new microphone while I'm at it, plus I want to hold some money aside just in the case that I find a woman who I can spend my money on…give her good things like fresh flowers and surprise her with fancy restaurant reservations. Yeah…that’s the kind of guy I am.
So with this cash, I can’t really afford to buy videogames. Well I can…but it’s not a good idea…financially speaking.
So I engage in some conversation with my dad on msn…this is how it went.
p.s just a little bit of back story…I moved to Aus to study and my family is still overseas.
(I edited out the general chit chat which happened before this point)
Jos says:
ok
so do you need money?
Threethumbs: I wonder what Dr. Phil would think... says:
always
Jos says:
. ok
Threethumbs: I wonder what Dr. Phil would think... says:
want to pop 59 euro this way so i can buy a game?
Jos says:
you are loaded
Threethumbs: I wonder what Dr. Phil would think... says:
and i want to keep it that way
Jos says:
right.
you will need to plead with your brother who no doubt will want the same game, then wear your mother down before 19 nov but also state you case in triplicate to your dad
Threethumbs: I wonder what Dr. Phil would think... says:
haha lol
he already has the game
Jos says:
does it play off the cd or can he sent you the game?
Threethumbs: I wonder what Dr. Phil would think... says:
yeah it plays off the cd
Jos says:
besides thats the benefits of living at home. only an arms reach away from dads wallet
oh well...
does your sister need 59 euro as well?
Threethumbs: I wonder what Dr. Phil would think... says:
yes she does
but u can put it under my name lol
Jos says:
oh bummer.... less money 4 u...

Threethumbs: I wonder what Dr. Phil would think... says:
saints row
Jos says:
oh yeah man thats a great game! bummer you dont have it..
can you wait till you get here to play it? its only 60 more sleeps
Threethumbs: I wonder what Dr. Phil would think... says:
60 more sleeps?!
thats soo long
Jos says:
60 days and 60 nites..
it may even be less if you sleep fast
Threethumbs: I wonder what Dr. Phil would think... says:
lol
how about....you give me the money...?
seems fair to me
Jos says:
I will discuss your lowly situation with your brother.
Threethumbs: I wonder what Dr. Phil would think... says:
all right
Jos says:
and your two sisters, and your mother to see if we split 50 by 5 how much is left over
Threethumbs: I wonder what Dr. Phil would think... says:
haha lol
when did you get so mean lol
Jos says:
my heart bleeds 4 u, but hey.. you could always do some singing and pass around the hat..
Threethumbs: I wonder what Dr. Phil would think... says:
that is true
Jos says:
moms home... ill ask her
Threethumbs: I wonder what Dr. Phil would think... says:
ok
Jos says:
she said no. you have to get a job she says.
but there is good news!
Threethumbs: I wonder what Dr. Phil would think... says:
lol
Jos says:
she says half.
Threethumbs: I wonder what Dr. Phil would think... says:
no one will give me a job for 6 weeks
how about 3/4
Jos says:
sing dude sing!
the world is at your feet.
Threethumbs: I wonder what Dr. Phil would think... says:
its hard when im in university
Jos says:
i will confir with your sister who does not sing but works nites , loosing valuable sleep.
Threethumbs: I wonder what Dr. Phil would think... says:
lol
im singing at the wedding free of charge
Jos says:
great!
Threethumbs: I wonder what Dr. Phil would think... says:
because i believe that if i have somehting to give and people want it...i will give it willingly
Jos says:
did you find out what it takes for a buskers licence in melb.?
Threethumbs: I wonder what Dr. Phil would think... says:
i have to go to a town hall or something
Jos says:
unfortunatley that dont pay for games... thats why i have to charge for an adjustment
well check it out. it could be fun..
Threethumbs: I wonder what Dr. Phil would think... says:

Jos says:
the trick is to give them what they want till they want it so bad that they are willing to pay for it...
ah.... thats an enterprising thought.
