"You’re Too Old For That"

Day 1

"So what do you do with your life when you’re not in the library?" she asked too suddenly.

The way this relationship was developing I felt that I needed to tell the truth. But how would I do that and still remain with a fighting chance with her.

"I don’t know how to answer that question," I said my mind racing fast and feeling like an overworked and overheating Pentium processor in some stuffy tower.

She giggled. An almost sarcastic giggle. At least that was what I thought I heard.

"And I would rather not answer that question. National security and all that…"

She laughed out loud this time and I saw the perfect set of white teeth for the first time that had been hidden by those sensuous lips bathed in glittering crimson lipstick. She stopped laughing and looked at me seriously, expectantly.

It was then that I deeply regretted having come to the library so early this morning. But then how would I have met her if I hadn’t?

"I’m an internet entrepreneur,” I blurted out. “There’s a problem with my Internet connection at home," I lied.

"You’re a little old for that, don’t you think?"

"How old should an Internet entrepreneur be, legally?"

"Twenty something is ideal, she teased."

"I know I look forty something, my false beard must really be convincing."

"You’re really funny, you know. You should be in the movies or something."

So the conversation went on and on. I must admit that I rather enjoyed it apart from that time she asked me what I did for a living. What living, I wondered bitterly.

And then the library opened and that’s when I came in and fled to my usual corner (my office) as she headed towards the fiction section.

And that’s how I sat down here to write this first post of my new online diary. The online diary of an Internet billionaire.

But then this story has to start at the beginning shouldn’t it? I mean that is really the juicy part. How I made my money and what kind of trouble I was in before the cash started rolling in.

And then because this story will be made into a big-budget Hollywood movie one day, there has to be a leading lady. Which I suppose will be that sexy young girl I just met outside the library. She may be 15 years younger than my forty years but I have enough experience with women to tell you that she likes me very much and something is definitely going to develop in that direction. Despite the fact that I fled from her today. I can assure you that she’s going to be a really amazing part of this story.

But let’s start from the beginning shall we.

You see I’ve been fooling around with blogs for sometime now. I applied successfully for Adsense and got it and I’ve been reading every piece of advice that I can lay my hands on online, but with very little success. So far apart from the few cents that I’ve made from Adsense, I have little to show for all those long hours creating content for my blogs and generally trying to make something happen.
