My Proposed Tax Plan (it can't be worse than what's already proposed)

If you ever tune into the news on tv or listen to it on the radio, I am certain that you have heard the recently proposed tax plans from those in the Republican party who are seeking the presidency.  You've most likely heard about Herman Cain's and Rick Perry's flat-ish tax plans.

If you have not yet read (or heard them talk about) their plans, they will make great bathroom reading materials--the stink from those plans will match the bathroom ambiance.

Anyway, when I first heard about those plans, I thought to myself, "Those plans suck. All they do is benefit the rich, and nobody else. Why don't I see if I can come up with something a little more fair."  So I did.  And this is what I came up with:

The 25 Slide Tax Plan

v1.0 is Finally Up!!!

Okay, so it's not really the best thing to brag about, but I finally have the Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock game up!  It's not perfect, but it works.  I will be working on it until I am satisfied with it (which may take a while :) )

Since it is up, you can go visit it and play around for a while.  And I would LOVE to read your comments and suggestions on how I can better it.  I am only one person, so I can't think of everything that I could do to make it better.

It is at www.rpsls.site88.net.  Go there, play it a few times and report back!

Dehydrated Water

Just Add Water for a Healthy, Refreshing Beverage!

This started out as a big joke.  I thought of this about 17 years ago when I was still in high school, along with the Bottled Fresh Air.

Through the years, I have found that this could actually be a viable business.  I mean, people buy all sorts of powders for their water--powders that provide additional vitamins and minerals and those that add flavoring to make your water more palatable.  So it's not like this idea is a completely stupid idea.

This is one of my ideas which I would consider to have been successfully completed.  I cannot think of anything that would add to it or any way to improve it.  Congratulations to all those large powdered water makers for making one of my dreams come true!

Bottled Fresh Air

This was my first foray into the business world, almost 17 years ago.  I was in a television production class, and we had to come up with a commercial.  I thought of a hilarious commercial (although it was never completed because of location issues), and thus Bottled Fresh Air was born.

This was a very simple product when I first thought it up: You go up in the mountains, take some Mason jars, open them, and then close and tighten the lid.  That was it!  You would do that and sell it to the masses.

After some years, I gave it some thought, and I figured that you could still use the Mason jars (although it would be better if you had custom-made clear jars which were embossed with scenery), but put a thin layer of scent on the bottom so when you opened it up, it would smell just like the scenery.  That thin layer could be replaced when it no longer smelled.  It would be a great product which would sell well to cubicle-dwellers around the world!

Marketing Consulting Business

Okay, so I'm a very altruistic person who would rather do things in a manner in which everyone wins, not just the owner.  I would rather have a business succeed long-term and have a slow, consistent growth with a focus on the clients instead of a focus on the profits and always seeking to increase them.

So, with that out of the way, I want to talk about a business I started to implement years ago, but due to family issues, I was unable to fully implement it :(

The business was a marketing consulting business, with a focus being on startup and small businesses.

What I had planned on doing was pretty simple: Be the company's marketing department.  Here is how I had it planned:

Facebook Bar

I'm sure that we're all aware of the big games and apps found on Facebook, such as Farmville, Frontierville, Mafia Wars, and the other thousands of games which you may play as long as you divulge your personal information, friends' information, and send invites to each and every one of them.

This is similar to them in that you will have an app on Facebook, but it's different in that it's none of those games I previously mentioned.

This one's more like a new spin on a retro internet function.

Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock

I started watching The Big Bang Theory, and while watching the earlier episodes, I saw the one in which Sheldon created an updated version of Rock, Paper, Scissors: Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock.

This is a very simple business which works mainly with one website.  It's basically a game that where you can have people play in three different modes: Beginner, Advanced, and Chuck Norris (you will lost probably 99% of the time).  In order to advance to the higher modes, you must win a certain amount of games (either in a row or total).

Here are the rules of wins and losses:
