Four facts

I never had a job in my life...you know from eight to six everyday... Never had it and i hope never will… Actually i never work for money at all, but were was four facts in my life when i have been paid and it was always something funny:
 Fact number one:
I was a student… almost a student – has been included into local University and was waiting for study start.  So it was some sort public works – we (i and other newborn students) were need to remove richweed ambrosia from the face of town to help highly allergic individuals breathe freely... It was slaves job `cause if we would refuse, we would find ourselves a problems with Summer works examination in University, but we suppose to work for free (some folks told us that MAYBE , in some day they gonna pay us, but almost every one of us was completely sure that it`s just a tittle-tattle). However, in one day, almost at the end of  Summer and our slave`s life, when we were working near my home, one fellow step out and gave as cash offer… He asked all crew to leave our free job for a while and make cash by unloading huge truck with trailer, loaded by...VODKA…. I suppose you can imagine what was happen next…Yeah!!  We all as one loosed our tools and followed him... and it was not only one place, because there was too much VOdka for one storage and we had to unload Vodka to different stores and one of them was even in school basement, there also was shooting range... It was dusty as hell and sometimes we had to crawl because shooting range was made for shooting from low position… We worked hard – never thought that Vodka is not only hard to load, but unload as well:) But we got paid... Someone took Vodka, someone accept money , someone both... And without Vodka  it was about 10 rubles –  not too much for now, but when after University and city government decide to pat us too for that month of public works) it was 20 rubles!! 20 rubles for one month of everyday mean less job and 10 rubles for one day of working on booze industry!!:) Of course we all (at least me for sure) was in pain on a next day of unloading Vodka... Someone because of heaviness of Vodka bottles, someone because of heaviness in Vodka bottles, some ones for the both reasons... Well, anyhow after that day i figure out that booze business is not for me!!?
Fact number two and three:
 I decide to connect those facts, 'cause both times i were working on one person and company…  It was
Invited on Tv show as a host of commercial program about video games…. Just like Xplay on tech TV , only i was the only host and i played kung-foo master: knock people and etc… (Just joking about knocking people)... Oh!! What a job!! I was fooling around, playing games and get paid… 100 rubles for two hours of that, so called, job... When i realized that there is no business like show business like!!?:)..  Shame, but it was only three shows, ‘cause it was a small store advertising ( they were need just to inform people that they`re exist)… And the last show was created without host (i've only make a record of voiceover for screen comments). Whatsoever after even two shows, people start ask me to give them autographs and some kids still recognize me on a street... Maybe it because of another show, but i’m not sure 'cause all i've create it sometime after… It was night stuff mostly and was created as free advertising of myself and my art (free TV time and road cost in exchange to my shows and me as a host... films and etc..)
  Well anyhow where was one other act, which i`ve made for the same fellow, who has paid me 100 rubles for an hour... It was another advertising project, where i were need to play on computer's monitors as a drums (commercials for one computer store). He asked me to do so 'cause he and his partners decided that i’m looking like an old rocker?! (hm, i don`t know why??:))  ..  Anyhow it was fun, but guess what – he haven't pay me for some reason ( suppose because of his greedy partner or his own greed…)… So the whole town was watching how i`m cracking computer monitors for free, for three month or even more ... And when i realized again - where is no business like show business like...
  So i quit working on and for TV....has made a few exhibitions of my own fineart connected with music: One on local MTV and one on regional national Channel.  I wasn`t even host or director of those shows… Only was a character or person , which has been showed with his art i haven`t even watch the last one…
So now i suppose i’m through with this – with tv ads and shows (at least as a host and producer)??!!
 Fact number four:
 .. So i was unemployed for all that time...Whatsoever about in year or even a few years after, one fellow (someone i knew),  asked me to clean or improve one record made by his girlfriend or girlfriend of his girlfriend for her boss... It was something strange – something almost illegal, 'cause it was sound like that tape has been recorded secretly!? (and i 've thought that it`s show business again)) Well anyhow even before i''ve listen it, i told him to back off ,'cause i decide that i won`t work for money anymore.. .Of course i haven't told him that the main reason of my rejection, is absence of interest in getting money from anything excerpt distributing my art (music, fineart, poetry, films .. and etc.)!? I haven`t told him so because it's almost impossible to explain to Russians that artists are not working for free and gotta be paid as fine as the others, who's creations cannot be stolen so easy...It`s hard explain it to the nation of thieves and slaves, in country where piracy level on market is the most highest on a planet… And actually it`s the main reason why i quit producing my own TV shows – 'cause it doesn't matter how popular you`re when almost everything that you promoting will be stolen anyway… It`s like advertising your stuff to robbers! Sounds like : "Would you please rob me – I`m cool!!!"  So i've told him that he should ask someone else and told him that it`ll cost him 400 rubles (which was more expensive than a highest price of official studios for 100 rubles) Whatsoever, he came to me with that record… And it wasn’t really matter to him that all i've done is was simple resample (one click on a mouse in Sound Forge), which i've made just to get rid of him... Nevertheless he paid me those 350 rubles (i suppose he decide that 50 is his cut:)). And it happen even after i’ve told him that i'm not CIA and i don`t have spy tools and showed him possible cheesy results of noise reduction (when human voice turn into a robot`s). Anyhow, after that, i've told him that he was never here (in my place) and i haven`t listen that tape… And actually i didn`t  –  i mean it was about 2 hours of speech and all i've heard was about 15 min –  just to understand how is the quality changes…
 So now, no matter if spy job can give me really good money as fine as booze business and of coarse
there is no business like show business like – i'm off!! All i can do and all i wanna do is art, no matter what… And if
human`s world is so shallow and cheap, why should i care if you haven`t bought your copy???!!
 So i`m still unemployed and i’m not even trying to get a job, in spite of the fact that i've got bachelor's degree as acoustic engineer, which i’ve got as an actor :)… Certificate of degree was as same thing as a screenplay for an actor to me and to be perfectly honest – i’ve start reading it for 3 days before legal defense (examination). And i did it for fun mostly (just decide that maybe even if i do not need it - it`ll be interesting to know if i can get it and besides it was a good part (screenplay-diploma)… And i was involved, because it was invention which has been created by folks who tasted me...Was like selling sand to Sahara dwellers…  Useful for me as an actor to create a scientist character so earnestly, so it convinced even them)…So guess i can do not count it!?
