Amigo See The Light

'What's the deal with the Coke ad?'
'I sold some space on this blog.'
'Shut up. You did not.'
'I did.'
'How'd you do that?'
'You verify the number of hits a site gets then just approach potential ad clients and try and sell them a bit of space.'
'How much did you get?'
'Five hunderd bucks is five-hundred bucks.'
'Just like the porno in Tokyo.'
'Watch the language. I've already spent the money. Don't want them taking it back. Hang on. I have to read something.'
'Be young. Have fun. Ingest carcinogenic products made with slave labour?'
'Language, Amigo. Here it is. 'Always Coca Cola.''
'What'd you spend the money on, toothpaste and a Thai whore?'
'Funny fuckin' guy, Amigo. Don't ever lose that humour.'
'You sell out fuck. What happened to mister anti-corporate?'
'Everyone grows up, Amigo.'
'Let me guess, you want to travel again.'
'No. It's kind of depressing but I have no real desire to travel right now.'
'Why depressing?'
'It feels like losing a friend. I just feel like staying in one area for a while.'
'Just not Ottawa.'
'Amen to that.'
'Where to then?'
'As crazy as it sounds I think I may be heading back to Vancouver shortly.'
'Why would you possibly do that?'
'Let's just say my heart's out there. And there are some people I haven't seen in a while I want to go say hello to.'
'Why depressing that you don't want to travel any more?'
'It's like giving up beer. For a long time before I actually quit I wanted to quit but didn't. Losing the boozing was like losing a best friend. The prospect of not having two or four black out drunks a week depressed the hell out of me. Not wanting to travel sort of has the same feeling to it.'
'You've lost me.'
'Wouldn't be the first time.'
'What are you going to do with the money from the ad?'
'I have ideas for two web sites. Real sites, not blog silliness. I don't have the web design skills to get the sites up and running so I'm in talks with a student to put it together. For a small fee. She wants to pad her portfolio so it works out for both of us.'
'Who gets ownership?'
'My lawyer is free, Amigo. Remember? Nobody's gonna screw around with regards to copyright or any of that.'
'How are the slander lawsuits coming?'
'Open and shut. Funny how people think I'm joking about that.'
'Frivolous Lawsuits Are Us?'
'It's how I make my first million.'
'How'd the test drive go in Montreal?'
'You know the cables that go from the tractor to the trailer on a big rig truck?'
'I guess so. Always wondered what they do.'
'They supply power to the brakes and the signal lights. I forgot to attach them and started to pull the truck away.'
'Not good?'
'He was nice about it but I knew I was screwed. Still did the test drive. With brakes and signal lights. Driving seventy-five thousand pounds through downtown Montreal in rush hour was the most challenging driving I've ever done.'
'No go?'
'Not a chance. I'm thinking... Vancouver. Again. Very shortly.'
