I read somewhere that some female TikTok models can make up to six figures, even seven figures a year in income. Sheesh, maybe I'm in the wrong business.
But on the other hand, who sustains that business? Who feeds into that kind of income? I don't mean to judge, after all if it was that easy to make money I'd probably be doing it too. But for all the consumers out there, if only there were better things to spend hard earned money on. Like, for example, people who you can actually talk to and interact with face to face, and, you know, go out and do stuff with. (Even if it's nothing sexual.) I've even heard that some of the more successful ones actually hire random dudes (yes dudes) to interact with their online fans. So, what am I missing here? Watching videos of random girls gyrate around and paying money to interact with some random dude. I'd rather watch it in person, with someone who actually wants to be with me, as opposed to some rando I'm paying a fee to who doesn't know me from some random horny dude living in rural China. So nope, not for me, thanks.
So, in other words, I have better things to do. I drove back out to the desert last weekend. Out to the Oreana area again; if maps still show Oreana at all, (there's not much to show) then it's located in southern Idaho, with the nearest "Real" town being Grandview. And even that town isn't much more than 500 people.
The rolling badlands give a sense of peace. It was cold, windy, but everything was greening up and the first wildflowers are starting to poke out. You find weird stuff out here. Following a narrow dirt track, I turned eastward onto an even narrower and more rugged one, and drove out to a bluff overlooking the badlands. I stopped here to take in the view. Canyons and mesas stretched out in front of me, with the Owyhee mountains, still snow covered, to my right. And looking down...suddenly it was The Beach. I don't know what else to call this spot. Sea shells were everywhere, Some of them loose in the dirt, most of them embedded in the rocks. I decided to go beachcombing at this spot, and came home with a pocket full of shells ("Rally round the family!" if you know the reference...) Remember this place is hundreds of miles from any coastline, and at nearly 4000 feet of elevation. Go figure.
There is, as I've said, a lot of strange stuff in the high desert.
Anyway, that's about it for now.
