Do I have a serious illness?

As I was searching some home remedies on the internet for a runny nose the other day, I stumbled upon WebMD. WebMD is a site where you can diagnose yourself with every sickness ever known. Or at least that's how I see it. There were some really weird illnesses that had very broad symptoms, which I had. Some of these broad symptoms were runny nose, drowsiness, headaches, and it turns out I've got it all. From osteoporosis to heart disease and everything in between, I'm pretty sure I have it.

Even things like drinking coffee, staying up too late, eating too much of this or too little of that can cause serious problems. But then, there are those "once a day" things for old people on TV that have names like ricaricac, spingloa, trencfolab, unvariten, viagra, glentravier, exventroa, ring a bell?
Well, those cause even more problems once you take them, like "Coughing, sneezing, farting, an erection lasting more than 32 hours, headaches, nausea, vomiting, death, diarrhea, stuff like that. But don't worry! Your life threatening illness will be long gone soon enough!

No thanks, but I'll live with the runny nose.

 I'm not sick anymore, but when I was, I think I should have just popped open a can of Campbell's soup and dealt with the runny nose. I'll do that next time, and you should too. Don't go to WebMD, just call the oldest person you know and ask for some weird voodoo remedies, and you should be fine.

I want to go camping.

I haven't been camping in years. For me, that's something that never happens. Well, I guess the last time I stayed overnight in a tent was a few months ago, but the reason wasn't to camp, it was a mountain bike race, and there are no Holiday Inns in the middle of nowhere. And real camping too, not a campsite with driveways with you between two RV's and showers down the trail. That's not camping. Camping is when there are no water faucets around and nowhere to plug in your iPhone. But the point isn't to live like Bear Grylls, it's to have fun, like everything is supposed to be. Here are some places I would like to camp.

1. The Sahara Desert
     What better place to prepare for my first Burning Man by camping out in the desert like Zero in Holes. There's tons of nothing to see, and there's no entrance fees! Just make sure to bring some shades.



2. Antarctica
     One time I saw this documentary about penguins and how they function as a society. There's also this dancing penguin that sounds like Elijah Wood there. Might want to bring a sweater.





3. African Rain Forest
I've always wanted to camp here. The African Rainforest is where Fruit Loops were invented in 1776. There's a museum that campers can visit to learn about the talking dodo bird that was the country's bird, until it's extinction. Don't forget your bathing suit for the beach!

Can the average blogger make a living from Google Adsense?

Many people have blogs online. Really if you think about it, almost everyone has a blog. It's either their rants on Facebook, Twitter, or some other site where you can talk with more than 140 characters. But you can't make any money talking about how good that movie you watched on Netflix was or how this band you found makes you the coolest person on earth. Nobody cares.

But if you're good at talking about pointless things, you just might be able to make a few bucks. And that's all you'll ever make.

Some people have really good things to talk about and have said that they have made over 300k from Google Adsense within a span of 8 years. That's a lot of money. But this person is serious about what they do. They post daily, twice a day even, and it''s formal and important to some people.

This blog is also important, to me at least. But not so formal. It's possible to make just as much money too, but it is very hard for the average blogger like myself. So about how much am I banking from blogging?

Hey kid, read my blog
About $1 in the last 4 months.Which concludes the myth of the wealthy average blogger. They don't exist. The only living someone could make from blogging would be on the streets. MYTH - BUSTED
