Get paid to party Write stories about parties Have fun weekend ideas

Getting paid to go to parties is a great idea I came up with on the weekend.

Now I just have to figure out where to go and who would pay me for it.

I was sitting home on the weekend thinking what should I do instead of sitting home.
I could go see my friends and then we could go see more of our friends and that would be great and that is what a lot of normal people do on weekends.

You don't have to be invited to any party to have a party to go to. You can create a party right on the spot if there is enough people who wants to do the same. If there's not enough people you can still have a small party, you can have a party for 4,3,2. The number doesn't matter, it's the idea that counts.
Even a party for 1 is an option.

So far all is cool and I started to think about how I can make it more exiting. Yes, having a party is always good and everyone likes it, so how about getting paid doing what you like?

Getting paid to go to parties is something I heard of and never got to really give the idea enough attention because it just didn't sound too serious. But it kept coming to my mind every once in a while when the party subject was on the agenda.

I gave the idea a little more of my attention this time and this is what showed up.

One place that seemed to fit the bill was partyearth.com. They offer you a pay for writing short stories about parties in your city.

They do however want you to live in one of these cities:

US
Boston
Chicago
Los Angeles
Miami
New York
San Francisco
Washington, DC

Europe

Amsterdam
Barcelona
Berlin
Florence
The French Riviera
Ibiza
London
Madrid
Munich
Pamplona
Paris
Rome
Venice

Asia

Bangkok
Beijing
Hong Kong
Mumbai
Shanghai
Tokyo

The rest is just as simple as that: apply, get approved, go to a party, write a story, get paid.

No guaranties you'll get the job, but it's a start.

To increase the chances of actually getting paid to party, I looked for some more places.
Next was a bunch of places on the Web that don't offer any information other than the one you can't see unless you buy their book where they promise to tell you everything.
More looking and I found some job boards and ad websites where someone would post an ad for a job opportunity that is serving a main purpose of getting your email by contacting them and it would give you not much info at all.

I didn't want to have a totally partyless weekend so I decided to stop looking for a while and just have a party to have fun with my friends. If I find a place that pays me for going to a party I'll go there of course.

If you already found a way to go to a party and get paid please let me know. May be we can even go the  party that pays together and that would really be fun!



I have an idea to make an instruction manual for those who wants to get paid to party. So far I made a front page for it and I hope to fill it up with more pages when I get more information and hands on experience. You are welcome to contribute to this and I'll make a special 'contributors page' that will have contributors listed on it. Or you can become coauthors, whichever position you think you are best for, you can inform everyone here in the comments.

Have you been to any fun party lately?

How To Share Someone's Status Facebook no Button Trick

How do you share someone else's status update on facebook?

There is no share button on the facebook status like the one you can see on other posts that contain a link, a picture or anything that makes it a post as opposed to a status update.

Not really big tricks but little ones that make this possible are here for you to choose from.

There is two ways to share a friend's status update and you can use these methods to share anyone's status update whether it's a person's page or a fan page.
Actually there is even a third way to do it, but it's a little different than a straight share method.

Whichever way you choose to use to share a friend's or a page's status - it's quite simple and not more difficult than if there was a share button.

Of course facebook sometimes adds and changes it's features so if there is a share button for the statuses somewhere in the plans then this methods will not be needed at some point but as of the moment of writing this post this little "tricks" can come very handy.

Method 1. Right click on the time stamp bellow the status you want to share and choose an option such as 'copy link address' or 'copy link location' or something similar depending on the browser that you are using. Different browser's right click menus have different words for the same functions.

If you are using Mac then you can do 'a double finger press and hold' instead of right click to bring up the menu.

Now go to your facebook wall or homepage and paste the link that you just copied just like you would paste any other link that you want to share with your friends.
This should bring up the person's profile picture and his/her status right into your post.

Method 2. Click on the time stamp bellow the status you want to share as you would normally click on any link you want to go to and it will take you to the page where that status is located and it will be the only post on that the page. The page will be a permanent page for that particular status.

Now copy the URL of that page go to your facebook wall or homepage and paste the URL that you just copied just like you would paste any other link that you want to share with your friends.
This should bring up the person's profile picture and his/her status right into your post.

Method 3. This is not exactly the same as sharing a link but it gives you similar results and may be used for the same purpose. You will in this case repost another person post, or a page's post, while giving that person or a page credit for their post or status.

Copy the text from someone's status update or another post that you want to share and paste it as you would paste any text you want to include in your message or status update by going to your wall or home page.

The important thing here is to add a tag for that person to your message by pressing '@' sign and typing the person's name right after. This should become an active tag and the person will receive a notification that he or she was tagged.

Sometimes the tag feature may not work for technical reasons and you may choose if you want to not post that message if it doesn't have an active tag or post it without the tag but the person's name will be in your message so if you think that it's OK then just go ahead and share your post.

The picture here shows where you need to click when you want to get a permalink to the person's status or message page.

A Day of Peace on Facebook Are you attending? Great Event

... for a day of peace. Wouldn't it be amazing?
Just one day in the year where we all held our tongues.
A day where we ignored others' shortcomings and made a valiant effort to be kind and understanding.
...A day where we all got along. It's sad that we are all at a point where we should do this, but it's even sadder to know that we easily could every day, but refuse to do so.
So on this day of peace...

facebook peace day event drawing. bird and hand.

Proposition:
On this day we all stick to three simple rules that will make the world a little bit more bearable. Feel free to partake in this before and long after then; the only reason I have the event set that far into the future is because I want word to spread and allow this to have as big of an impact as possible.
This event is to take place everywhere we go in the world, preferably all the time.

Rule #1.
Say not a single unkind thing about anyone or anything. If at all possible, try not to even think a nasty thought. If we do, reflect on why it was that we thought to say it in the first place.

Rule #2.
Show everyone we cross paths with some genuine human compassion. Be it with a smile or kind words, just spread some love.

Rule #3.
Make not one person the exception to the rule. Not everyone deserves to have roses thrown at their feet and have a holiday in their honor, but nobody deserves to feel alone. Reach out. Talk to someone new. Care about them, and we will be cared for in return.

Agoraphobia Pets-Cats+fellow Dogs not funny picture if you are inside

Agoraphobia is not really for pets but since pets are people too they may sometimes acquire it by strange chance.
What is Agoraphobia anyway? Do you have to know or are you just curious?
In the animal world it is just the same as in the rest of the world.
If you don't go outside you stay inside. I don't know if you can stay in between but if you are inside you are not outside.
Why fear anything like space, or fear anything that's open when there is so much stuff besides open spaces that can be feared? That is a whole another question altogether. One thing is obvious, as long as there is an open space someone will fear it, may just be a pet as well. There's no proof that it's easier on the pets than on humans because they don't have to go shopping and spend a nice sunny day in a shopping mall full of other unfamiliar individuals and buy nothing at the end. Having Agoraphobia is not an easy task.
It's not quite clear if pets catch agoraphobia from their owners or is it the other way around. I will do more research on this situation, then I'll be able to tell if either way is correct and will post more pictures of this cuteness.
Even if you call it disorder it may be really nice to have if it's too cold (aka freezing) outside or if it's too hot ( aka really hot) outside and you have a good air conditioner, a cool room heater and a nice fridge (aka refrigerator) and it's full of treats (aka food) too.
So if you planning on getting it, agoraphobia that is, get a fridge, a ton of treats, some pets like a dog(s) and a cat(s) first. Or you might not enjoy it so much.
Have a happy air conditioned day!

Good Company. Dog and Monkey BFF

The grass is always greener if you have a good company.
It looks like this two fellows have it all perfect and no need to look for greener grass on the other side.
Friends do come in all shapes, colors and sizes and yes, species.

Being compatible may just be a matter of attitude, that special something within... Of course having a nice backyard is always a plus.
