Capital One Saves the Day!!

Standing at the counter , clenching my pocket hoping the total of my items does not exceed the value of my bank account. The cashier smiles at me with a look of excitement because she knows that she is going to get an interesting reaction out of me. As the total comes across the display I grin like a child who just heard the ice cream truck. I then decide to pull out my Capital One Credit Card. The look on the cashier's face was priceless. I figure the chance of a break room story of the guy who had no money has just diminished from her mind.  I pulled out that gleaming plastic that adorns a custom image on it and swiped it through the card machine.  The word "approved" followed as it always does and I was satisfied once again.

         Now you may be asking yourself, "What is so special about the credit card?".  Well I'm going to tell you. It is a card that pays you back a percentage of what you spend.  It is a card that stops barbarians from from attacking you while asking, " What's in your wallet?!?".  Its the Capital One "No Hassle" Credit Card.  I must say that it is a pretty interesting concept.  I mean I find myself using my card to to see what reward I receive in return.  It may be $.01 or $1.00.  The anticipation is like waiting on my payroll check on Wednesdays!  Now I have to be honest and mention to you that interest rate is......are you ready for this?.....0.0%.   I know I didn't believe it at first when I saw it either!  We all know that the interest rate is based off your credit, so it does vary person to person. 

          So now when I go in to a store and reach for my bank card, I pause and ponder.........Hmm Is there money in my bank account?  I am sure there is, but the bank will not pay me to use my card.  Capital One will!!  Kudos to you Capital One, for making dreams come true.

              Ok so you guys may be thinking I went loco with the ad banner! I actually have been searching for ways to make a little extra cash on the side on the internet. I have searched far and wide. I mean so far, I think I could invent Ebay and redo it so that it could be a free service instead of a paid site. You may be thinking to yourself that this sounds like one of those get rich quick schemes. I promise to you that it is not. You can make money, just not millions in a month. Just like a regular job, it takes hard work and effort.

On to the site! I found a site that says it will pay you for clicking ads. It also says that if you refer people, then you get a benefit when they click on ads too. So this sounded very interesting to me. So I signed up. It was free and I started clicking ads immediately. I promise to you that if I didn't make a cent I would not be telling you about this. I hate scams and CEO's making millions off of the demise of normal Joes like you and myself.

I know must warn you that the potential for income is possible. However with very little effort, you could at least make a few dollars a week starting out. I have made a few dollars in one day. i started doing it earlier today. I think its pretty cool. Yet again I would not promote a site that I didn't first use myself. Check it out for yourself. The potential for making serious money is possible. Just takes work on your part.

The Real Intro

Hello everyone out there in the world.  I'm JL.  I'm 27 years old and just a regular guy from the eastcoast.  Well....I gues I'm not too regular.  Lets see......I'm in the Army National Guard and I work in law enforcement.  I'm currently in Mississippi right now going through some training in order to deploy to Iraq soon.(Not by choice ofcourse and for the second time)  So my days here currently are filled with the constant repetitive cycle that the military has to offer.  I sit here on my bunk, which is a metal-framed bunkbed, and hear the constant war stories which usually precede the night-at-the-bar-the-night-before stories.  You can never hear enough of those.  I usually just grin and bare it and give out an occasional head shake or nod in aggrement.  Lord forbid if I disaggree. Ha!  I'm just about surrounded by people who feel like having a tally on how many beers they drank or how many women they play makes them a "cool" person.  

I'm mean don't get me wrong, I have been there done that when it comes to being the "cool" person.  I guess I'm now in that part of my life where I want more weight.  In other words, quality over quanity.  But in order not to make my first blog seem like an endless rant, I shall change the subject. Iraq.  Oh boy I can't wait!(My sarcasm amuses me).  In all honesty I rather stay home and work on my current fresh relationaship and serve the people of my local town then serve the people of a place that would rather see me blown up.  Now you may be thinking that I feel this way about Iraq in general.......I don't.  I have actually seen first-hand, the benefits of being there.  I've seen the disadvantages also.  I try not to get into the blame game when it comes to that topic.  I'm not very political.  Then again I just choose not to be.  

Well......my time is being cut short.  I figured I would have a day of relaxation and solitude.  But yet again some under paid high-ranking official has business that I must attend to.  I shall return.
