Update 7-25-2011

Just an update on what I have done. I want to mention about the surveys I take online. I continue to take online surveys and make a few dollars. I was surprised the other day when I cashed out $12.00. When I went to log into my account with the survey company, I noticed I had an additional $5.00. It stated that I was a monthly winner in their drawings. I won $5.00. It doesn't sound like much, but it does make me believe that they actually do give away money in monthly drawings. I continue to take surveys and cash out. Something is better than nothing.

Our team (or partial team) scrimmaged against one of the teams that we will play next weekend in our league playoffs. Also there, was 1 player from another team. This guy was pretty good but very beatable. He came across as a jerk to me. He was rushing everything. He partnered up with a good player of the host team and played against myself and the captain of our team. We played 2 sets with them and the first set was close, the 2nd set was not so close. We played to more sets with the exception of the captain of the other team joined the jerk against myself and my captain. We played better and won bot sets. I had some good shots. I noticed that when I would win some points, the jerk on the other side would aim right at my head on returns. I have pretty good reflexes and was able to get the ball in play.

What I noticed about this guy is that he is vulnerable. When playing this type of player, one needs to be consistent and keep it in play an frustrate the opponent. Moving him around and make him hit shots will make him make lots of mistakes - in turn, it will frustrate him and that is how you can get into his head. Your confidence will build while his will decline. At the end of the match, he probably won't shake you hand, but that is ok. I enjoy beating people like that - they don't deserve to win.

Again, keep the ball in play, let him make the mistakes and eventually the match is yours.

Just an update on what is going on. I haven't posted anything in a while now. I have ventured into a hobby that I would eventually turn into a business. I have been selling digital cameras on ebay. I have found a website that allows me to buy salvage and used cameras some working most not, and selling them on ebay. I usually get a batch of around 20 cameras and been profiting on average around $200. It takes me around 1-2 weeks to sell all cameras. And yes, they do all sell. There are a lot of people buying this cameras. I am also selling other stuff (electronics, games, etc.) also.

I still continue to do my surveys, although, it seems that I don't qualify for most of them so, I am not making much money on those. But if you are interested, they continue to need people to fill out surveys. If you can keep up with it, you can make some money (not much) but it is extra money. Survey Spot and American Consumer Opinion are the two companies that I use to take surveys. They are pretty save and they do pay.

I hope to keep you up to date with stuff as I come across them.

Thanks for reading.
