I've been selling some stuff on craiglist. So, where does Luis get stuff to sell when he is broke?
Answer: Urban Foraging.... a.k.a. Dumpster Diving. It sounds bad, unless you get a Sean John Watch, a Logitech USB Headset, Books, Ray Ban Sunglasses, Video Games, Clothing, Photo Frames, 2008 Calendars, etc. All either in mint or good shape to use or sell.
I check Marshalls, Leohmans, Walgreens and other stores dumpsters. I don't jump into nasty smelly ones, these big stores keep their garbage pretty well bagged and you can tell which are garbage bin bags and which are "store garbage" which can be unsold or slightly defective stuff. It's a long shot, maybe once a week I hit jackpot with useful things. And that is how I've been making a few bucks while I wasn't working for almost 4 weeks.
It's sorta funny that when I was homeless I never did that, but when I found a place to live I sorta got into it by accident. I saw something near a dumpster which looked good a few weeks ago, and have been doing it ever since.

Ok, let's move on to the movie reviews. Oh yes, about the Madonna video I posted earlier today, I just liked it after watching it on MTV so I figured to share it.
Elizabethtown is a 2005 Drama/Comedy/Romance that starts with a very weak story about a sneaker designer who fails miserably and delays his end by dealing with his father's death. Things were pretty boring until... Kristen Dunst's character appeared. From that point on the move slowly picks up and goes from bring a bad film, to being an ok film. I can't recommend it since it's not worth watching until about 1/3 into the movie, however if you got time to kill with a female and want to watch the comedy/romance part of it (which succeeds in the end) then consider renting it.
The Forbidden Kingdom is a 2008 action/fantasy film with two of my favorite action stars: Jackie Chan and Jet Li. Based on a classic Chinese novel ("Journey to the West") the movie starts in Boston with a teen (Jason) who loves kung-fu movies that is bullied by other kids. This reminds me of the old Karate Kid movie which was good by the way (I'm not counting the sequels to it). Back on track... the kid buys martial arts dvd's from a store run by an old Chinese man (Chan) who has a mysterious ancient golden staff in the back of his place. It all goes wrong when the group of bullies forces Jason to help them break into the store at night. The kid ends up being transported back to ancient china where others recognize him as "The Seeker", part of an old prophecy. Usually I don't go into this much detail about the start of a movie... but I want you to get a good idea of the beginning because this is a great family movie. I highly recommend it, if you want to know more about the film... go see it!
That is all for today guys.
