How I did it: I got a job that required me to deal with people and i've been in college in classes that require me to occasionally socialize. what i realized is that you can't make everyone happy all time. who cares what they think as long as you're having fun. Read how I did it…
I decided that since I lack the time and nautical skill to be a real pirate, I would become a self professed Street Pirate. I’m a carriage driver and so that takes up most of my time. So what I did was pimp out my top hat with Gothic roses and the words “Street Pirate.” I named the black and burgundy carriage that I often drove “The Black Death.” I even commandeered a carriage or two. It was awesome. Definitely the most fun I had all summer.
I’ve been a carriage drive in downtown Chicago for nearly a year now. Its pretty much the best job ever. I practically work for myself. I make my own hours. I’ve got a pony. I’ve met alot of cool people. Of course I’ve also met alot of assholes but what can you do. I wouldn’t want to do this for the rest of my life. But for right now its pretty much the awesome.
