see, the price of the weekend is the reason i don't go to movement, and didn't plan for it. but, i'm kind of feeling like i want to burn out a little this year...because i'm not convinced i'm going to continue living this lifestyle much longer....

i was hoping i could get a few dollars for an extra dvd player i've had sitting around for years, but the model is listed on ebay for $10-$30. it's worthless. well, it's ancient. ancient dvd players? sure.

i sold off my vinyl over the last few weeks. the guy at the cd store thought he was ripping me off, and in a relative sense he may have been. i mean, he can no doubt resell it for quite a bit. but, vinyl is worthless to me. it sounds like shit. i'm sorry. i'm not drinking that kool-aid. i don't want the vibrations from the air conditioner upstairs and the cars outside when i'm listening to something. if somebody can sell a pile of shit for more than i can, good for them, but they're still selling a pile of shit. i got what i wanted for what i presented and it got me through the nights i wanted it to get me through. i have it all in superior quality on cd...

like, he seemed excited about an unopened copy of joshua tree - as though they didn't make 50 million copies of it. some stupid person will no doubt pay for it. but, the item isn't worth the $2.00 i accepted for it, and you could no doubt find it in a garage sale in any given city on any given weekend for the same price or less - or just download it for free. it was the same thing with the stack of beatles records i threw away. you want these dirty records - in mono - that they've been mass manufacturing for fifty years? i know somebody will pay for them. but, the reality is that they're not actually worth the sleeves they're in. wouldn't you rather go for the remastered copy on cd? why the fuck not?

the point is that they're gone...

....and, now, i'm wondering if i'd might as well sell the turntable. but i don't think i'd get more than a few dollars for it, either. and, they're not *all* gone....i kept a few that i'll never play.

the turntable is selling for $100 (us) on ebay, meaning i'll be lucky if i can get $50 for it. that doesn't help me, in context. might as well keep it...for now...

no, to generate this much this fast, i'm going to need some kind of labour. could i spend a few days busking, maybe? hrmmn. i have no real experience doing this. but, i could conceivably spend the next three days at it. could i make $100/day? well, even i can do $50/day, i can probably get thurs/fri in. as mentioned, the weather may disqualify sat/sun, anyways.

i'm going  to take a nap and decide when i wake up.
