Make Extra Money As An Extra
I am always interested in new and exciting ways to make extra money on the side. Imagine my surprise to find out that there is actually money to be made being an extra in movies or TV. Pay can range from $100 to $300 a day! Not only can I make extra money, but my secret ambitions to be a star can be maybe even be fulfilled.
Yes, ever since I starred in a play in my high school(no it wasn’t the Hunchback of Norte Dame), I have thought about what it would be like to go to Hollywood and be an actor. I thought about roles in movies or TV and how exciting it would be. I never did make the leap. The closest I came was monthly trips to Cali from Phoenix.
Now I have a family and a steady job and things have changed. I thought I put that notion out of my mind until I discovered Talent6. It’s an agency that helps ordinary people land work as an extra in movies or TV. You don’t have to live in Hollywood or New York because they have a nationwide presence and can help you land work in just about any part of the country.

Five Great Family Movies
Family movies are a great way for families to bond. It’s important that the movies are very family oriented and that you family can use the time to get closer. I have put together a list of five great family movies for you to look at, comment on, and hopefully spend time watching with your family.
1. Facing the Giants - This is powerful movie that explores a man who is hitting rock bottom in his life but then turns to God and many of his problems cease to be problems.
2. George of the Jungle - Its simple humor is understood by all ages and the intelligent way that it handles situations will keep the interest of the adults. It’s an all time favorite in our household.
3. The Best Game Ever Played - This is a compelling story of the triumph of a young golfer against the best golfers in the world. You don’t need to understand or know golf to enjoy this true story.
4. Seabiscuit - This movie can be seen time and time again and you can keep coming back for more. It’s a captivating story of 3 lives that were forever changed around one dedicated horse.
5. Motorcycle Diaries - This is a movie that all should see. It is the story of Che Guevara and his path to understanding. There are a couple of scenes you might want to fast forward through but this film is worth it.
A Funny Joke
Ok, normally I am not into jokes on this blog, but I have to admit that this joke is pretty good. I t got me laughing almost uncontrollably earlier today. I don’t know why it really affected me, but it did. My wife came running in to see what happened to me. My kids thought I had died or something. Anyways, here it is:
Morris and his wife Esther went to the state fair every year, and every year Morris would say, ‘Esther, I’d like to ride in that helicopter.’
Esther always replied, ‘I know Morris, but that helicopter ride is fifty dollars, and fifty dollars is fifty dollars.’
One year Esther and Morris went to the fair, and Morris said, ‘Esther, I’m 85 years old. ?If I don’t ride that helicopter, I might never get another chance.’
To this, Esther replied, ‘Morris, that helicopter ride is fifty dollars, and fifty dollars is fifty dollars.’
The pilot overheard the couple and said, ‘Folks I’ll make you a deal. I’ll take the both of you for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and not say a word, I won’t charge you! But if you say one word, it’s fifty dollars.’
Morris and Esther agreed and up they went. The pilot put the craft through all kinds of manoeuvers, but not a word was heard. Up, down, back and forth, even sideways, he did his daredevil tricks over and over again, but still not a word.
When they landed, the pilot turned to Morris and said, ‘By golly, I did everything I could to get you to yell out, but you didn’t. I’m impressed!’
Morris replied, ‘Well, to tell you the truth, I almost said something when Esther fell out, but you know, fifty dollars is fifty dollars!’
Putting Together A New Entertainment System
I have trying to put together a new home entertainment system over the last few weeks. It means that I have done a lot of research on which TV, stereo system, etc that we need to get. I also want to integrate a computer into the system. I think it will be very impressive indeed. I am still trying to get my head around several different parts of the system, such as what is an HDMI cable or what is the best way to use a computer in the home entertainment system. Any ideas?
My First Digital Camera
I still remember the first digital camera that I ever had. It was a Canon Powershot camera. It was a 2 megapixel camera, but it took some of the best pictures I have ever taken. I liked how it was so easy to just upload the pictures from it to the internet and share them with my family. The other thing I liked about it is that the Canon Powershot felt great in my hands. It was just comfortable holding and using it. Hmm, I wish I didn’t lose it.
