This site is not here to pick on people or make fun of them just for the hell of it. This site is a commentary on goals.People can have something that is very personal to them, very near to their hearts, something they want to do for the rest of their lives, something they want as a career, a way to have fun, share experiences with others, or maybe just a way to pick up a little cash on the side. These ads are a way for them to reach out and achieve whatever goal they have. Yet, they put little or no thought into it. No plan. Just hastily typed sentences they don't even bother to proofread.

But I'm a musician, so I chose this. I will hope that you read some of these and have a few laughs. I will also hope that you think about how you go about achieving your own goals. Does your plan differ?Plus, some of these ads are jus
