My name is Dustin Eyejuice, I am a natural entertainer, though I am
currently unemployed. The last job I had was in a factory that makes
dangerous plastic toys that are given away inside plastic eggs in
Spain. Since 1999, I have been largely living on the money left to me
by my dead mother.In 2004, that money ran out, and I have been trying
to make money through a series of business ideas. Firstly, I developed
a special kind of pen for writing secret messages on paper. I thought
children would like these, but the lids were toxic and the ink caused
minor burns on some kinds of skin. Specifically, the skin of children.

My next idea was to take my natural entertainer skill and produce a CD
of my songs. I write songs in my spare time. Many of them are love
songs and often about Plymouth, including 'I met you on the bus to
B&Q' and 'Your hair reminds me of Derry's Cross'. Sadly, I was given
bad advice about this CD, and spent my remaining money getting
thousands of copies pressed. To date, I have sold less than three of
them, and have recently taken to fashioning them into novelty ashtrays
and selling them in my local pub, Hammers, on Sebastian Avenue, in
Plymouth.

In 2005, I became involved with a podcast, and was promised money that
never came. These days, I do a little bit of casual, untaxed bar work
in Hammers, for which I am not paid, due to a prior incident with the
landlord's nephew's cat, and I also put on a variety evening once a
week, called 'An Evening with Dustin Eyejuice' - my initial
announcement of this is available, under the Creative Commons
Attribution-ShareAlike license from my website in both audio and text
form.

I spend my spare time looking for ways to make money, making freephone
calls from phone boxes and avoiding future altercations with cats.

I have started doing a podcast, from my website.
http://eyejuice.wordpress.com/ - I have licensed this under CC-BY-SA
3.0, so I can take clips from 'Where are the Joneses' and make them
say things.

I have recorded a CD, of my greatist hits. Which license would be a
good one to use for this? Right now, I depend on sales of this CD for
my income.
