Sidewalk Money for Slackers
Posted by Jacques - May 16, 2009
There’s a lot of money on sidewalks. I don’t mean that shiny penny on the ground, I mean all the people walking by you have money in their pockets and it just as easily could be in yours. No, I don’t recommend pit pocketing for it as that would require lots of “effort” which frankly slackers like to avoid. I’m talking about street performance for money. It’s a little bit more fun than pan handling and a bit more profitable especially because the cops won’t make you move quite as often.
You could do anything you want to really, as long as it isn’t offensive. Music is an obvious choice, but that would require having some skills as well as a significant catalog of music to play. You’d also have to be wary of the type of instrument as moving a keyboard is a lot more hassle than an acoustic guitar. Singing while playing earns twice as much.

While I don’t take back anything that I’ve said, I want to make sure that everyone understands the importance and value of time. Afterall, if time wasn’t a factor, procrastination would be a little difficult to define, don’t you think?
Time is ticking and moving forward whether we like it or not. Although being slackers, we often want to spend our time in a way that feels comfortable to us, we need to make sure we are commanding our time. What I mean is, we have to be sure that we are in control of our time. The only way that we can do that, is to ensure that our time works for us. One of the ways we do that, is by recognizing that there are some more “productive” things we can do with our time. Although, “relaxing”, “vegging out”, and “catching up on myspace or facebook” are wonderful things that we want to do with our time, they’re the kind of thing you can do at any time and don’t really have a limit.
