For the next month, when I'm not busy prepping lessons, putting grades in, and trying to think my way through an entirely new classroom management model, I want to make some money. I'm not a millionaire, so I could use some extra spending cash; who couldn't? But this isn't about paying off student loans or saving for the future. This venture isn't an average moneymaking venture. It's a labor of love, a way to turn free time into artistic, positive change - and coins. It's a challenge.
It's a real time, real life game I've decided to play. Because I need this record...
You've been there, seen something you couldn't live without, but that you absolutely had to live without because you couldn't possibly justify spending the money. And you have the money, it's not an ocean liner or a goldplated tiger's paw. It's just – against your principles? It's just too much for what it is. Like spending $10 for a burger at Applebee's. Or buying a bottle of water. Or spending five dollars for a shirt with a bedazzled picture of tap dancing politicians. Your relationship to money, when you have any at all, is complicated, you get it. And, well, that's where I am.
So, for the next month, when I'm not busy working at a real job where I receive a real paycheck and real money which I use to pay real bills, I will be attempting to spin gold out of nothing, out of bad ideas and worse execution, letting you follow long as I catalogue each step. And with this cash, this very real, although somehow seemingly fake money, I will buy The Record.
It's $80 on Discogs. That's just crazy.
Duggles, I'm coming for you.
