Okay, after much internal dialogue I have decided to allow people to comment on the blog.
Have at it!
Any spamming and they’re going right back off again, though. I’ve been in the internet business long enough to know that the spammers ruin it for everybody. Which is why I wasn’t allowing comments in the first place. But I love hearing from the audience and a number of people have emailed me asking about it.
Comments are moderated and won’t appear until they’ve been approved.
Thanks for reading and happy commenting.

So as a computer literate guy with a lot of money…I buy a lot of stuff on Ebay. Big surpise there, huh? I don’t buy huge things, but I buy maybe one thing a week. Widely varying stuff and I never have a problem.
In fact, the only thing that REALLY bothers me about Ebay is when some guy tries to rip you off by charging you $35 shipping on something that we all know costs $15 to UPS. I have a lot of respect for people who don’t do this. Recently I bought a pair of studio monitors (small-ish speakers) and the guy charged me $15 to ship them. Hell, I think he LOST a few bucks on them. Sometimes I even sell stuff. A while back I sold an old mountian bike and it cost me $18 to ship it to Brooklyn. In a bike box.
A whole mountain bike, dude! And you’re trying to tell me it costs $20 to ship a fucking iPod??
Anyway this story is about one particular seller I tried to buy a small electronic component from. I should preface this by saying I have 100% positive feedback on an Ebay account that is 5 years old. Not 98%, not 95%…100% positive. The reason for this is because I’m a nice, easy going guy and I always pay in advance by PayPal.
So, today I click on the Buy It Now link of this person and I send them their cash. A while later they tell me that they’ve decided that this is a high risk item and can only be sent to my billing address. I find this absurd for many reasons. First, because they already have the money, what could happen? Second, because the thing only costs $100. I mean I know $100 is $100 but this is a whole online store. I can understand billing address being needed for like a $5000 purchase, but $100? Which I explained politely. They replied with some blunt copy and paste about fraud. I then responded as below:
“Why do you guys have to be retarded about this? You know it’s $106?? I’m not asking you to ship me a fucking $5000 Rolex. Ship it to whichever address you want. But know I’ll never buy anything from you again and you’re getting some bad ass feedback”
Okay, no, not polite but this is how they replied:
“How dare you use foul language at me. Completely outrageous, uncalled for an illegal. can be construed as harassment via email.”
This made me laugh. You can imagine the profanity laden tirade I responded with! I nearly wore out the F, U, C and K keys on my keyboard. I mean really? Harassment? Illegal? Please. I pointed out that she could kiss my ass and I’d happily pay her legal bills for suing me for harassment.
So then I got this:
“we will be turning you into ebay as a non paying bidder. If you email us again we will immediately turn in all your correspondence to the authorities as well as your ISP for using their network to make harassing emails. Again, DO NOT EMAIL US AGAIN!!!”
So can you guess if I emailed them again? If you answered “FUCK yeah!” you’re right. And it’s not like they could really turn me in. I paid them via PayPal in advance. Plus let’s just say I pay my ISP about enough to buy a new Toyota Yaris each month in bandwidth so…I’m not worried.
But THEN the chick writes back to me again:
“Again I am imploring you to NEVER EMAIL US AGAIN!!! I have specifically told you I am offended by your emails and to never email us again and yet you continue to do so. YES, this is illegal. GO AWAY!”
What is wrong with people? I mean really, it’s not illegal to be an asshole. But I kinda think I’m in the right here. They kept my $106 too! (But not for long…stay tuned.) Anyway I was bored by this point so I wrote back to her telling her to stop f-ing emailing me unless it was to give me a refund.

The Game.
I get a lot of email here on Ordinary Pornstar asking me one thing over and over — “Dude how do you get those smoking hot amateur chicks to do what they do????” Well I can put it in one word for you, loyal readers, that word is GAME. Game is a term that gets thrown around a lot, so let me explain how I define it. Basically, game is the ability to talk people into things. Used car salesmen have game. Real estate agents have game. Those guys at Best Buy who talk you into the extended warranty, they’ve got game.
The best kind of game, in my opinion, however, is the ability to talk chicks into bed. Or…the back seat of a car, heh. So, what can I teach you about game as a pornstar? Well my professional game is a bit different than my personal game. Obviously professionally I simply hire aspiring porn models, have them sign the relevant legal documents and send them a check. Personally it’s a bit different.
My personal game came along in an unexpected way. At some point, all of a sudden it clicked for me. I credit three references. There are a lot of things that are common to all guys but the biggest thing is to find your own ‘inner game’. I found mine with the help of three reference books:
1. Tariq Nasheed’s The Art of Mackin’ — No I’m not making this up. This is pure street pimp game. Read it, live it.
2. Howard Bloom’s Global Brain — This book will change your life - your social life, your sex life. Read this, digest it, you will be a new man. Period.
3. Neil Strauss’ The Game — obviously a reference to game. This book is as much a How-to as a How-NOT-to. Pay attention to the way Strauss talks about the failures as much as the successes and you too can master GAME.
So who watched Big Brother tonite?? Jedi Janie was able to win the veto, hooray! ! !
Good god I’m a loser.
Well at least I’m a loser who’s had 1000 blowjobs. Maybe they can put that on my tombstone.

…joined one of those lame webcam sites where the chicks are supposed to strip for you and do all kinds of dirty stuff for like a buck a minute? This guy did and came up with a little How To on being a cam-girl:

Trust a professional pornographer when I say those sites are a total rip off. If you REALLY want to see naked chicks on a webcam you need to start surfing MySpace and meeting nice, normal, dirty girls with webcams. By far the best part is if you find the right girl she’ll strip for you for free! Really.
