HAH-I knew that would get you cheap SOB's attention! I am always on the hunt for good free porn sites. Hunkhunters used to have some good ones show up daily-not so much anymore. Porntube is full of pay sites masquerading as free sites.Porntube also has a very high Ick factor and too many headless"look at me jacking off for the first time on the web"listings. Gay torrents(Thanks SA)is waaaaaayyyyy to complicated for me. What I am looking for is a site with lots of regularly updated pix and vid's for free-no membership required.Preferably one with vid's that play long enough to get the job done. Any suggestions?TIA

They have apologized for their error.Buy.com says the price $299 is actually the correct price for the item,a Vizio 26 in. Hdtv-recertified,but they left out the recertified bit in the original listing. They are offering a $50 credit if I keep the item as an apology-or a full refund if I return it. Sooooo would you buy a recertified Vizio 26 in. HDTV for $249?Should I return it? I am actually thinking about contacting them to see if we could sweeten the deal by adding a 2 year warranty

Wellllll not really He has made a wise move (he was paying rent on threee apartments in the US)and let his apartment in LA go. He will now be based in Las Vegas-a city I visit often so I will be able to catch up with in in person from time to time. He has NOT left rentboy.com. I forsee a lot of new working boys in Las Vegas very soon as Brandon works his charm-and maybe we will see a Numbers style restaurant opening in Las Vegas in the near future. Still I will miss his nights out in LA.

Rian very good topic! Was the client picking up the cost of the room?If so perhaps more discussion would have been in order. If you are doing incalls while traveling then yes-you do need to pay some attention to the lodging. I am trned of to really scary/sleazy rooms-to the point that I cannot get aroused. But I would be suspicious if the fella I was visiting was staying in too nice of a place also-thinking that there will be a sponser in the background who might walk in on us(happened a few times)at an innaproprite moment. I know a lot of the working boys like priceline.Biddingfortravel.com is a good aid when using priceline. I have worked deals where I pick up the lodging at a decent place for the weekend in exchange for services.The fella then has the room for the rest of the weekend to make some extra dough.

I first met Zeb Atlas at a porn convention.He had just done his first phot spread for Advocate Men.He was so cute-a hunky collage jock with a furry chest and a great head of hair. I saw him dancing at the Pirahna night club in Las Vegas this past weekend-he is now so massive that he could easily play The Incredible Hulk in a movie-no special effects required. Now I am sure there are some on this board that go gaga over bodybuilders-I am not of that camp. I hope someone tells him to stop soon-IMO he is just at the edge where he is going into freakshow territory if he gets any bigger.

How many ways can I say FABULOUS!?!? I would use all of them to describe Bette Midlers sensational huge production show in Las Vegas! This was my first visit to Caesars Colloseum(having been to the old Caesars showroom many times)and all I can say is wow-not only is the theatre huge it is also state of the art. The Devine Miss M. is still devine at 63.Belting out songs,dancing,and keeping moving from one side of the enormous stage to the other-I was exhausted just watching her! The show is mostly Bette singing her hits-with some new songs and some great dance numbers performed by her 20 showgirls.There was one moment when Miss M' sat at the edge of the stage and played the Ukalale while singing The Glory of love-so touching. Bruce Villanch has updated the material-fantastic job Bruce The stagecraft used for the production is incredible.The digital disply is used in harmony with stage sets to fantastic effect. I urge all of you to make a special trip to Las Vegas just to see this show-it aint gonna travel to you!

Well that(of cours) was a wonderful party! I went with a whole posse of friends who are NOT involved in the scene-and they loved it! I was suprised by the number of no shows This down economy certainly has effected many porn studios spending.There was plenty of talent-but it was a lot less than the year before. Also a lot of the studios had bought blocks of tix-and then never showed up! These folks would be the ones screaming "FRAUD"if they would have shown up and been told the place was at capacity-you just cannot win with these folks. OK-b---h session out of the way! A high light was seeing Scott Adler Romping in the altogether with Hunky Andrew Justice-that alone was worth the price of admission!and Allesandro Del Toro Playing with Jason Crew-what a great scene that was! JoyBringer from Paris was an unexpected suprise=what a huge cock that guy has The music was supplied by the now slim Chi Chi LaRue.It was a campfest of tunes! A lot of local talent showed up also-unfortunately I did not see Ace=a shame since I had a scratch that needed to be itched and I ended up leaving with anothe local fella-Southern Lee The party the night before at Pirahna was a lot of fun-I actually left AFTER Brandon and his posse!(They had another party to go to-at Krave thrown by classifiedescorts.com-I haave not gotten a report on that yet) Twink lovers would have been very well pleased-so hopefully next year I can get more of you to Las Vegas(the weather was spectacular all weekend btw)for this event. Thanks to the MERmen who did show up(both of you)to join me.

What fellas-preferably new hires-are you planning on seeing in 2009? I will start this off Andrew Justice I have lusted after this fella since I met him two years ago in Palm Springs! How about you?

Kudos to Chi Chi La Rue Saw him out at dinner the other night with my pal Jason.I did not recognize him till he passed me and said hi! You look FABULOUS!!!!! Congrats on the weight loss-keep up the good work.

Mine sure have. I flew over 50k miles in 2007.Made status in two airlines.Almost all on my own dime and for pleasure. 2008 was a different story Over half of my flights in the first quarter of 2008 were delayed by at least 3 hours-or cancelled.I grew so disgusted that I cut back my flying to the bare bones essential(meaning if it was more than a four hour drive I would fly)and just let my status slip without a thought.My year end tally for severely(more than three hours)or cancelled flights-80% If any other business delivered such an abysimal performance it would be quickly shuttered.Instead these airlines just keep on chugging---and even merging with each other!?! I am now hearing about service cutbacks in two of the hotel chains I have status with.I sleep a lot in hotels-and have often used a more expensive option strictly to maintiain status/earn loyalty points. However-if these chains make deep cuts in service without makeing cuts in prices I have no problem sleeping with cheaper brands.Loyalty programs do go two ways you know, How about you-did you decrease thae amount of travel in 2008-what are your plans for 2009?

Here is the ad for the pre-party on Friday night at Pirahna http://partywithbrandon.blogspot.com/2009/...s-2009-pre.html

I found Phillip Seymore Hoffman's performance to be the weak link in this otherwise terrific film. I am getting more than a little bored with his one note acting-while it is a good note he does need more depth than what I have witnessed from him. I also felt he shaded his charecter a little too strongly towards the "guilty"side. You are supposed to walk out of this with no decession one way or the other-you are just full of doubt. I revisited this movie this past weekend,along with The Reader-two serious films that provide a lot of material for soul searching.

I sometimes hear that I make assumptions about other gay men.Namely that we have sex and are interested in sexual things. I also get the hairy eyeball when I let slip about the fact that I have no problem paying for my fun. Of course I could tear into them about being nothing more than a gelding succombing to PC and conurmist pressure-but I ussually do not So-do you ever get the cold shoulder about being Bel Ami-the porn studio-which I love)versus Bel Ami-the cologne from hemes-which I also love

Heard today from a friend in the biz.Turns out his hunky Bf has been whalin on him for a few weeks-landed up in jail this past weekend. I have lost count of how many otherwise normal,sane,strong men in my life have told me the same tale. Now while I pay extra for abuse and humiliation I do not stand for it in my personal life and have cut many friends beacause of this. How about you-what do advise friends who come to you with this problem?

I visited the Apple store in the new Mall in Glendale this past weekend with a friend.While I can appriciate Apple and its cult like following(The Simpsons had a great take on this)I'm sorry=this is not worth close to 3x the price of other comperable lap tops IMO. That they still get away with this really is amazing to me. I bought a cute little ASUS for travel SSD,linux based,easy built in wireless access=$350!It weighs less than 2 pounds! For those unfamilliar with Asus(as i was before the purchase)they actually make laptops for apple and others.

The blonde bartender(Brian?)Has done "other"types of films as well Is Nicco(he of the brunnette Bottocelli curls)still there? Sorry I missed you-I will be going on Wed night for the porn star thing.

The Yukon Mining Company on SMB has closed,the space has sat empty for over a month now http://www.yelp.com/biz/yukon-mining-co-re...-west-hollywood I have very fond memories of sittting here watching the cute boys parade on SMB(back when there was plenty of talent on parade-The'stretch"was from Orange to Fairfax back in the day-that kept shrinking till now there is nothing. They had sassy gaayer than gay waiters,and pretty horrible food at low prices. It will be missed-but more for the memories than for the establishment.

Thursday 1/8 Chi Chi's Party at 8 1/2 Fan day at the AVN Friday 1/9 ClassifiedEscorts.com Party at Crave. Parties at Pirahna and 8 1/2 Saturday 1/10 Dirty Secret Party at the Blue Moon(Hotel is sold out-still a handful of tix available on line-very likely to sell out before the date so no at door sales) Sunday=well that is my day to have some fun with the Talent I met the night before-Oh and I am going to see Bette Midler )There will most likely be a lot of studio parties that night as well. And I belive Internext(is that the right name?) starts that day for the adult website folks. monday-sleeping late,might have some new friends with me for the drive back to LA

And here lies the problem with my not being able to find my fantasy guys . I grew up Idolizing the golden youth of the 70's and 80's. The boys I have the fondest memories of are now in their forties and older. The cruel slap in the face that reality provides when you meet an old crush in the present is very disheartening to me-the boy I lusted after in the gym showers is now chubby,bald,and about as sexy as Roquefort cheese.Or in the case of Jamie,whom I sure would be a lot of fun in the sack,a greying old clone who looks like he has seen a lot of use. Occasionally I will meet a fella who rings my bell=but it is so rare that it really does it for me. I do keep trying to relive "Les Temps Perdu"but it is an expensive and mostly unsuccesful search.

And lovers of vintage male porn such as myself http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0geu9tWF15JmkUA..._penis_book.htm http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0geu9tWF15JmkUA...nis-Book-Images I gave out quite a few coppies of this book this year(bought on Barnes and Noble for 50% off the $65 cover price)It is a huge book about huge penises.Very well done by Taschen-who has many male erotica art books in its catalogue.

Spent at it home-alone working I was in bed asleep on NYE at 9 pm -up at 4 am(when many of the party boys I hang around with where just getting to bed) I really do not mind-next weekend will be my nights to party in Las Vegas-I have even taken monday off work to do so(My make up day for working New Years Day)Most of my working life I have had to work on holidays-or the day after.So this is nothing new. Stilllllllllll, one does feel a bit embarased when telling the tale

AAADD KNOW THE SYMPTOMS.....PLEASE READ! Thank goodness there's a name for this disorder. Somehow I feel better even though I have it!! Recently, I was diagnosed with A.A.A.D.D. - Age Activated Attention Deficit Disorder. This is how it manifests: I decide to water my garden. As I turn on the hose in the driveway, I look over at my car and decide it needs washing. As I start toward the garage, I notice mail on the porch table that I brought up from the mail box earlier. I decide to go through the mail before I wash the car. I lay my car keys on the table, put the junk mail in the garbage can under the table, and notice that the can is full. So, I decide to put the bills back on the table and take out the garbage first. But then I think, since I'm going to be near the mailbox when I take out the garbage anyway, I may as well pay the bills first. I take my check book off the table, and see that there is only one check left. My extra checks are in my desk in the study, so I go inside the house to my desk where I find the can of Pepsi I'd been drinking. I'm going to look for my checks, but first I need to push the Pepsi aside so that I don't accidentally knock it over. The Pepsi is getting warm, and I decide to put it in the refrigerator to keep it cold. As I head toward the kitchen with the Pepsi, a vase of flowers on the counter catches my eye--they need water. I put the Pepsi on the counter and discover my reading glasses that I've been searching for all morning. I decide I better put them back on my desk, but first I'm going to water the flowers. I set the glasses back down on the counter, fill a container with water and suddenly spot the TV remote. Someone left it on the kitchen table.. I realize that tonight when we go to watch TV, I'll be looking for the remote, but I won't remember that it's on the kitchen table, so I decide to put it back in the den where it belongs, but first I'll water the flowers. I pour some water in the flowers, but quite a bit of it spills on the floor. So, I set the remote back on the table, get some towels and wipe up the spill. Then, I head down the hall trying to remember what I was planning to do. At the end of the day: the car isn't washed. the bills aren't paid. there is a warm can of Pepsi sitting on the counter. the flowers don't have enough water, there is still only 1 check in my check book, I can't find the remote, I can't find my glasses, and I don't remember what I did with the car keys. Then, when I try to figure out why nothing got done today, I'm really baffled because I know I was busy all damn day, and I'm really tired. I realize this is a serious problem, and I'll try to get some help for it, but first I'll check my e-mail....

I am urging Howard,Brandon,Jeff and some of the other fellas to work towards a party in Montreal perhaps in May-will keep you posted. Air Canada has some attractive rates to Las Vegas right now

Rentboy.com is doing a party in Toronto on January 2nd. http://partywithbrandon.blogspot.com/2008/...nto-canada.html I expect our northern neighbor MERmen to keep the boys warm(and warm them up for me for las Vegas the next weekend!)

But not with gamblers!The non gambling tourist were everywhere-but not spending any real money! Sure the lines for the Buffets were huge(I have never seen the line for the Wynn Buffet so long)but we walked right into the coffee shop-no line at all and the place was 1/4th full. Tons of peope in the fancy malls-but very few people actually in the stores. The casinos were packed-with people NOT gambling. Rates for the Rentboy.com Dirty Secrets party dates(which is also CES weekend)have dropped dranmaticly-private me if you need help finding a cheap room for the weekend. A couple of highlights from this Christmas in Las Vegas. The new Steve Wynn hotel ENCORE is just gorgeous.Mr. Wynn has set an impossible bar for other las vegas hotels to jump.The details and artwork in this hotel are top notch and the staff is the absolute best in Las Vegas bar none. Le Reve at the Wynn-what an incredible show I liked it much better tha "O" and the tickets are cheaper!Outstanding performances and incredible stagecraft-I leapt to my feet and cheered at the end of the show!
