MagicGuy

You're a funny guy, cocheese. Ya damn bastard lol Chicks dig magic..

I went to Hooters with a couple buddies from work. One of them had some crazy Hooters credit card thing and we got 50% off of our bill. Good stuff. Had a couple of beers while I was there, too. I love my new job

That's what I was afraid of..

LOL. That's exactly what I was thinking when he was talking. Didn't sound like him, though.. that would've been even more creepy.

Dude, obviously it's a tempting offer. But shit, the guy could be a cop for all I know, and agreeing to something like that could possibly be turned around into a prostitution charge or something. I'm all set..

In posting my last topic, entitled "Propositioned to be a male whore", it got me thinking. I was hit on by a gay guy the other night, and I've had it happen a few times in the past. It seems like gay guys have really high standards. I've heard that guy guys are really judging of each other's bodies, among other things. So should I take being hit on as a compliment? It doesn't phase me in the least.. I just make it known that I like women. Should be interesting.. looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

I work for a wine and spirits distributor in Rhode Island, and we just had our annual Wine Show at one of the mansions in Newport. I'm a new guy, and because one of our suppliers didn't show, I had to take over his booth and pour the wine. It was port, which is like a dessert wine, so I didn't have many tasters. Anyways, my boss came to relieve me of my duties so I could go and eat, try some wines, mingle etc. While I was getting my food, I was approached by this creepy old dude. I was wearing a name tag, and he looked at it and looked at me and said "You have such a pretty name, that is a great name". "Oh, thanks". I'm not gay, but I'm not a homophobe either, let's just make that straight now. But it was creepy how he said it. He starts asking me some questions "So how old are you? You don't even look like you're old enough to drink wine". I told him "I'm 20, I work for the company and I'm helping them out with the show." He says "Ohh, ok. So Corey, do you have a girlfriend?" Ok, kind of weird, some old guy asking me if I have a girlfriend. But whatever, I'll play along. "Well, we aren't committed or anything, but I guess you could say I have one". (Old guy): "That's nice. What nationality are you, Corey? Are you italian?". (Me): "No, not Italian. Irish, Portuguese, English and French". (Old guy): "Ah, Portuguese, that's why you're so handsome. What a sexy combination. You must be a sexy guy". It get's worse... (Old Guy)" Are you interested in older women at all?". Me: "I've never dated anyone more than a year older, but I'm open to the thought". (Old guy): "Well, I have some women that I should introduce you to. They are millionaires, and I'm not talking 2 or 3 million, I'm talking 200 or 300 million. They are 50 but look like they're 30 because of all the plastic surgery. And the best part.. They'll pay YOU. What the fuck?!? (Old Guy): "I shouldn't even be telling you this, but for a blowjob, they'll give you $100 for 10 minutes. But you can't be shy, and you have to be clean. That's why they love the 20 year olds. I'm telling ya, they'll LOVE you. Are you interested? Is it something you would consider doing? This one guy was in town for 5 days and walked away with about $20,000." I was so creeped out by this fucking guy, I was almost at a loss for words. I told him that I make more than enough money to support myself, and that I have enough common sense and respect for myself to not do something like that. He gave me a smile, told me to keep being a good boy, and walked away. WEIRDO!!! I hate creepy old men.. oh and later on in the night I was hit on by a gay guy. Billy Joel said it right, Oh What A Night..

I can do most of that shit, accept for doing the flips that involve spins. When I was a kid, I was a huge fan of the Ninja Turtles, 3 Ninjas and loved watching gymnasts flipping all over the place. When I was 8, my brother and I put our money together and bought one of those little aerobic trampolines. We took a mattress, put it in the front yard, and put the trampoline in front of it. By the end of the day we were doing front-flips. A day or so later, we were doing back handsprings, and later full on backflips. We had this thing that we called "The Climber". It was like.. a heavy duty plastic tower type of thing that you could climb and play inside. We would put it on it's side, stand on the edge and do backflips off of it. We would do backflips off of picnic tables, our deck, trees, cars.. pretty much anything we could find lol. We were crazy bastards.. when we moved, we had a 20ft deck that we would climb on the outside and jump off of. We were like 10 years old. Good times.. all the kids in gym class would be begging me to do flips. I had to do them when the gym teachers weren't looking because they would get pissed, thinking I would kill myself and sue the school lol. I'm 20 now and I can still do all of that shit. My uncle always told me "When you get older you aren't going to be able to do it". I love being able to prove him wrong. Oh by the way.. doing a backflip off of a wall is actually pretty simple, but fucking SCARY. I have a video of myself doing it somewhere.. if I can find it I'll post a link.

I have a friend with benefits at the current time (first one, I waited a long time for something like this ) and we do kiss. I don't know, the kissing is what leads up to the sex. I don't just go over there and say "OK, I'm here, get naked". We hang out, watch tv, start kissing and then do the nasty. If there was no kissing, it wouldn't be the same. It's been going pretty good for me. It's going on 3 months now. I don't have to see her every day, I don't have to talk to her every day, I don't have to deal with some of the negative aspects that come along with a serious relationship, and I still get laid regularly. At times, though, it seems like she is developing feelings. She says that she regrets laying out the guidelines (more like accepting them lol) at the beginning and would rather see how things go. But other than that, life is good.

Very nice. The colors are awesome. Congrats!

Mah bad..

I know the magician that invented this trick. His name is Steve Fearson. He has also invented magic for David Blaine and a few other well-known magicians. He's won first place at some of the biggest magic competitions with his inventions. His website is downloadmagic.com. There is a clip from the Howard Stern show on Steve's website, and he explains the whole situation on there. The illusion is called Splitting Image. It's not for sale on the market, as the rights were sold completely to David. If you want to see Steve performing it on Japanese TV before selling to Copperfield, check this out: http://youtube.com/watch?v=PVa-U4qD6Qk Pretty cool stuff.

It's sad that a person has to watch over their personal belongings around a group of people who are supposed to be like family. Rasta, I'm sure the culprit will be revealed in time. Hopefully nothing major (if anything) will be lost in the process. Best of luck, and whoever stole the computer, F.U.

One piece of advice from one wanna-be skydiver to another: Don't wait until June to make your Tandem! If you are that psyched about it, go do it ASAP. That way, you will know if skydiving is for you, and you will have more of the season left to start and hopefully complete your AFF. I only say this because I did my tandem jump late in last season, and weather constraints kept me from starting my AFF. So, over the fall/winter season, I had to resort to watching videos and dream about getting up there by myself instead of actually doing it. Why not make your first AFF on your 21st Birthday or something like that? Just an idea. P.S. I turn 21 this year as well! Sweet!

Holy Shit... I'll pass.

LOL I thought I was the only one. Congrats, man - I'm looking forward to starting my AFF next month! Good luck and Blue Skies!

Interesting, I was just watching a show on "Little People" (don't you know that 'midget is derogotory? Geez..) and it made me think if a little person could go skydiving, particularly tandem. Doesn't seem that the harness would be small enough. I don't know - just a random thought.

Ahh, I am addicted to the dots! Seriously though, I do it all the time.. look at any of my posts and they are bound to appear at least once. But as you can see, I change it up a bit. Sometimes two dots, sometimes 3, sometimes a space between the dots, sometimes none.. But I'm just weird like that

My link is in my signature.. don't feel like looking through my profile so just copy and paste

I agree, this doesn't help at all. I did it once, and felt really bad afterwards. I know I wouldn't my face shoved in a pile of steaming shit. There's been a lot of great advice, so I won't repeat it. Crate training is nice and works great. You'll soon start to see the accidents become less and less. This is the worst part, but once this phase is over, you'll have a companion and a part of the family for (hopefully) many years to come! Dogs Rule.

Awesome. Maybe I'll see you at Jumptown. I'm hoping to start AFF in April. Blue Skies.

HAHA, close enough... I didn't catch her name, but she's married to an instructor named Gary at Jumptown. Apparently, his nickname is 'Muppet'. Ring a bell?

So I'm in the food court of my local mall yesterday and I'm waiting with my want-to-be skydiver friend for his girlfriend to get her Subway sandwich. I took my first tandem with him, and any time we are together we talk about skydiving quite a bit. He was asking me if you made a jump from 30,000 feet, you have to deploy earlier because of the sheer velocity that you are traveling. I was explaining to him that you reach maximum velocity after a certain time in freefall (I said 11 seconds - was I right?) and that the slider was there to slow down the opening of the canopy so you SLOWLY decrease in speed. The woman next to me smiled and said "Hey, are you guys jumpers?". I was excited. "Well, kinda.. we both made tandems last year and I'm going for my AFF once the weather permits". Turns out that she is married to an instructor at Jumptown, and so is her sister. And they are all jumpers! AWESOME!!! She was waiting in line for food, so we couldn't talk too much. As some of you know, I've been worried about canopy control when I make my first AFF jump, so I took the oppurtunity to ask her about it. She said "Oh, I've landed outside of the dropzone many times! I'll tell you this, skydiving is going to change your life. You're gonna get hurt, you're gonna overshoot your landing, but the pros totally outweigh the cons, and you are going to have a blast!". She wished me good luck, told me that she'd probably see me down at Jumptown, and we went on our ways. Best trip to the mall I've had in quite some time...

Funny stuff. But yeah, the weather is really frustrating. It wouldn't be so bad if for a week it wasn't like, 65, 70 degrees in the Northeast. Got everyone all pumped up on the upcoming Spring season. Now it's 40 degrees tops, and it blows. And to top it off, it doesn't look like it's going to get warmer any time soon.

That's awesome. Hopefully it will be sky worthy and you can jump it! If not, hey, display it in your house or something. It will definitely be a conversation piece!
