Let's Talk about Sex: Is it Appropriate??? When is it appropriate???

Sex, Everyone thinks about it.  How many of us talk about it??? Where do we talk about it??? When Do we talk about it???

When you're a kid and you first start learning where babies come from, it is one of those experiences where a child loses part of their innocence.  You are shown charts, diagrams, movies, etc...  And often taught

 the old slogan "Not me, not now".  In many families, it is instilled in the child to be fearful of sex. 

10 years ago, it was most-likely uncommon for the topic of Sex to be discussed in most professional social settings, like the work place.  Nowadays, it is a lot more lenient.  Am I saying that its OK to go running your mouth off about everything and anything you want???  No, I am just saying that a lot of the barriers that society had in place have been broken or more possibly crumbling in recent years.  Sexual Harassment is still very much alive and I do not condone it. 

However, There are times where it may be appropriate in today's society to be a little immature.  Not everywhere.  But sometimes and many times, sex is discussed in the work place in one form or another.  Guys Rip on each other all the time.  Girls sometimes do this too in our ever-changing society.  This is not always done to insult.  It is often a way to show respect to one another by using a sense of humor. 

Sometimes, It is even the NORM in certain situations to talk immaturely.  Penis... Vagina... We have all seen them.  We know what they do, what they're for... 


Would it be OK for a teacher or adult to talk immaturely about sex with a student or child???  No, of course not.


A group of guys hanging out in the break room or the smoking area talking about sex and ripping on each other about Penis Size and Sexual Preference....  Not such an inappropriate sight anymore.  It may even help those colleagues accept each other more too.   I speak from personal experience.  I am the straight guy at work that gets called gay.  Does this bother me in any way???? No, Not at all.  Reason being, I have a sense of humor and I often set myself up for it.


Friends, family, co-workers, colleagues....  It's not all bad to joke around and talk immaturely about topics once deemed private.  It shouldn't be taken too far at the same time.  But the main point that I wish to get across is this:


Be Open To Change in Society.  There are appropriate places for everything. But, At the same time it is not necessarily "Off-Limits" to talk, joke, be immature in Professional Social Settings.


Have Fun, Don't take it to far and Have an open mind.


Use Your Head...

Sex, Drugs and... Comedy :-)

The Sunday Before Labor Day:

What an experience.  Met up with a guy I know and hung out.  We were supposed to goto a High Profile Party in Hollywood.  Next thing I know, I'm at the Odyssey http://www.theodysseyrestaurant.com/odyssey/.

I highly recommend this place.  As you can see, the views from the patio are breath-takingly spectacular. Plus, the food is exceptional too.


SEX:
So, we ae sitting there at this table with these two obnoxious and highly unattractive girls that he had invited. with another punk kid arriving shortly after. I have no idea how I had gotten here and what was going on.  One thing leads to another and I'm being asked to make a porno with these two broads. I'm sitting there having a drink and thinking "Oh Shit, I gotta get out of here.", "I dont want any part of this." One thing could surely lead to another and i could end up in a ditch in Tijuana missing a kidney or worse.  Best if that doesnt happen...

DRUGS:
Your's Truly was Roofied.  Yes Ruflin.  So how does one get out of this situation?  I had not driven, so I had no easy escape.  What a crazy place to be.  Drugged and sitting at this spectacular place in a not so comfortable situation.  Looking at the views in the picture above.  Rainbows and Lightning Bolts in the sky.  Quite an experience.  So your Roofied and Stranded at a very high class restaurant, what do you do???

ANSWER:
Get out of there by contacting your Go-To-Girl.  I recommend having someone like this.  Make sure she is attractive/Gorgeous.  A Go-To-Girl is someone you can rely on for the following but not limited to:

-Getting you out of sticky situations
-Helping you by attending events in which having a pretty girl on your arm is important.
-Having a Drama-Free, B.S. Free Good Time
- etc....
The Text Message Read:
$100.00, Come pick me up at the Odyssey Now and take me to my car.

My Heroine came in and saved the day, Took me to my car and was rewarded for her exceptional efforts.

"Why am I rescuing you from the Odyssey at this hour?", "What did you do Mike?"

My Reply:
Not sure... I 'm messed up and dont really wanna talk about it.

Your Go-To-Girl will understand and not ask further questions.
Obviously, You can explain the situation at a later time over dinner or drinks.

Now I pose the question to myself....

What is it with guys wanting to take me to dinner and get me into sticky situations.
At least this one was not wanting to stab me in the neck and urinate in my mouth,  Unless that is some type of new porno idea....  Hmmm.....  I made it out of there alive and that is what counts.

So, A night of Sex (propositions), Drugs (Ruflin) and Comedy (Because this story is just too funny).

The spectacular experiences of yours truly

Dress For Success. Tips on how to sell on Craigslist

So you want to sell on craigslist.  But, you're concerned of the risks involved???  Dont want to run into the Craigslist Killer??? I dont blame you.  I will teach you how to successfully make a sale on craigslist in this quick and easy step by step guide.  I have successfully completed 100's of successful craigslist transactions and will share with you how its done.

Step 1: Create your craigslist account. 
You will need a phone number and an email address to set up a good craigslist account.  It isnt the only way to post to craigslist but it is easiest to do it with a verified account.

Step 2: Make your Listing.
When making your listings remember this, You dont want to abuse craigslist.  Craig does not like it when people spam to his list and has set up many ways to block your posts through ghosting and other methods.  Be as descriptive as possible and include pictures that clearly show the item you are selling.  This will save you tons of time when people ask to see actual pictures.  I dont use my email address as I always got spammed.  Use your phone number.  A GOOGLE VOICE NUMBER IS BEST.

Step 3: Sit back and wait.
Dont worry.  You will get response.  Someone out there wants your item and they will find you.  So do not get discouraged if your phone is not immediately blowing up with calls and texts. 

Step 4:  The Blind Date.
You have gotten someone interested.  The hook is in.  Now what do you do...  Set up the meeting (the blind date). Meet somewhere during the day.  A public place like a coffee shop, mall or visible parking lot where there are alot of people around.  DURING THE DAY IS OFTEN BEST.  I have made trips to Inglewood and Compton at Night.  I wouldnt recommend it.  I never had an issue and the people were always friendly, but My recommendation is during the day at a public place.

Step 5: Be Prepared, Use Protection.
Use your head (the big one on your shoulders that is).  Think it through.  Arrive early to the meeting place.  Scope the area out. Park where you can easily leave if you need to.  Keep your money in the car except for maybe $20 or less.  Dont Dress too flashy and an older car will give you the low profile image that wont attract too much attention to you.  Or even better, dont meet near your car.  If you feel concerned.  Call a friend explain the situation and where you are.  Keep them on the phone while you do the deal.  This way, if anything happens at least someone knows where you are and what happened. NEGOTIATING: Always try to be $40-$50 or more than the least amount of money you will accept before going to meet them.  This leaves room for negotiating on the spot.

Step 6: Meeting your Potential Match.
So you're meeting the potential match of the item you want to sell.  Size them up.  First impressions are everything.  If they stay in their car, be careful.  Especially if you are selling items like cellphones.  They may try to take it and speed off.  Or they may just be nervous.  In any case, ask them if they could step out of the car, if not remember to be cautious.  If you are selling  a cellphone hand them the empty box first.  If they flee, this way at least all you lost was the box. Let them look over the item.  the best thing to say is a little white lie, "I'm selling this for a friend."  That way they cant ask too many questions and will thouroughly look over the item.  They may try and haggle you down, so this is why it is good to agree prior to a higher price than the least amount of money you are willing to accept.  Once the negotiating is over, AGREE TO A FINAL SALE AGREEMENT.  This is the point of craigslist.  All sales final, all items sold as-is.  It will prevent complications and big headaches later if your buyer gets "buyer's remorse" . It happens so just stand firm and say it was Final Sale.

Follow these steps and you will be just fine.  I never had a big issue selling anything on craigslist.  You can become good at it.  If you can pull of 5-10 sales a day at $50 to $100 profit, imagine the potential possibilities you could have...A decent career or side job working under the overlooking eye of Craig.  If you have any questions please post them here and I will gladly give my opinion and advice.  Be cautious, Be smart, and make Money.

Good Luck and Have Fun :-)

The Big Bathroom Inconvenience

So I went into the bathroom today, sat down and realized a huge inconvenience.  I did not bring my phone with me.  When going into the bathroom, who doesn't pull out there phone these days???  All I could think about were the possible business deals, facebook updates, emails and text messages I would be missing.  Also, it would be so much more fun to be able to play games or check out new apps too.  So, when dealt with this situation, What is one to do???  Awkwardly start conversation with the guy in the next Stall???  I think not, he was smart and remembered his phone.   So he is too busy to talk to you.  He is posting his latest facebook update or tweeting about his current activities.  How boring it is to be dropping kids off at the pool with no phone....

Last Night's Experience. The stab you in the neck dinner date from Miami

So many of you know about the wild weekend I had and I will most-likely post about that too.  However, Last Night Started the week out with a blast of craziness.  I went to go to sleep last night around midnight.  I got a call from a Miami number.  Basically the guy thought I was screwing around with his Wife.  Obviously, He has me mistaken with someone else.  I dont date married women... Anyways, He said he wanted to Fly me out to Miami, Stab me in the neck and urinate in my mouth.  Wow!!! I replied with, "Well, will you at least take me to dinner first?"  Surprisingly, he agreed.  Before we move on, I have no intentions of visiting Miami anytime soon.  So This guy would not let up.  I started to wonder, perhaps he is obsessed with me.  So after call number 30, I kindly said "I understand that you want to talk dirty and tell me death threats all night.  But I am trying to get to sleep as I have work in the morning.  So can you please keep the death threats to normal business hours between 9 and 5?"  We will see if he listens...  Ha Ha.
