Ideas about this blog.
Recently I’ve had a few comments/emails from people asking exactly what I do and how I do it (and not referring to Mike that is). I’ll try and explain myself (I might make this into a ‘Page’ instead of a ‘Post’ – that way I can link to it somehow for guys who have recently found the blog.
Please feel free to ask questions – I do like my privacy and relative annonimity so I hope you understand if I choose not to answer questions that might change that.
OK, lets start at the beginning.
I grew up on the Gold Coast. Went to uni, at the same time I was working as a graphic designer doing websites since the week after I left skool. I moved out of home at 19. My folks gave me my secondary education but nothing other than that (incase anyone thinks I was given a ‘silver spoon’). When I was 18 I was running SwimmerBoyz.com which was originally just a hobbie and a site with lots of free photos (6,500 of them).
I think when I was 20yo (might have been a year earlier) I put some movies on SwimmerBoyz.com and then I got my first ‘serious’ server bill for $1,500. Then I had a decision to make – keep running SwimmerBoyz.com as a free site and take the movies off or charge subscription for the site. Everyone loved the movies so it was subscription.
For the next 18 months I lived on the coast and SwimmerBoyz.com grew and grew and grew. I was spending most of my spare time on it but still working part time and doing a degree full time. Then came the point when SwimmerBoyz.com would support me – not make me rich but pay my rent and to tell the truth that was about it. I made the call, quit uni, quit my job and got on a plane to Canada for my first winter snowboarding.
A pretty huge decision, I had no mates over there, no support from family but I had worked and saved hard and this was what I wanted to do. I could always go back to uni and a job if it didn’t work out.
It was the end of that first winter that I started writting this blog after a threesome in a sauna after the end of season party.
SwimmerBoyz.com is still my primary income source and have since added BisexualGuyz.com.
How much money I make is none of your business; but I pay my rent, I don’t have a credit card and I have a little bit of money in the stockmarket. My car is worth maybe $2,000 (it is nice – cars are just worth nothing these days in New Zealand). Last week I did 30hrs of work on my business and about 20hrs of design work for a friend of mine in Queenstown (pro bono).
Some weeks I work more – I think the week I launched BisexualGuyz.com I spent at least 80hrs infront of the laptop. Other weeks, when I’m travelling, I might do 10hrs of work. Unfortunately, I can’t ever really be offline for more than 3 days at a time – I can handle that though.
Hopefully that explains a few things for you guys – as for my future. I don’t know what it holds. I’m continuing to work on the business, I continue to work on my love life and if anyone wants to buy the business for a million bucks – SOLD!!! Nah I’m just kidding – I’d miss it too much… I’ve met some fantastic people through working on the blog and the pay sites – both readers and subscribers and people I’ve worked with.
Well that is enuf work for now – I’m off to the pool for a swim.
This is a late night post – and I have had a few beverages (not too many though – I’m not sloshed or anything).
I just got home from a ‘date’ with someone that I met online. We were going to catch up for a drink this arvo, then it started snowing so he couldn’t make it up to town then just as I sat down to watch the weather, and poured my second scotch for the evening. Once this guy told me that he wasn’t coming to down I did go to town on my cock…. lemme explain. I had a feeling we might be catching up this arvo so this morning I didn’t have my usual wake up wank. So all day I have been horny as hell – I went for a swim, soooo wanted to wack off in the shower, then tried to do some work but I seriously couldn’t.
So when ‘he’ told me that he wasn’t going to make it tonight I wanked 3 times within an hour. I was a little hungover from last night which made that possible.
Then I get the call that he is down the road and if I’d like to join him for a drink. So I did – he had a really cute face, seemed pretty fun (he doesn’t snowboard and doesn’t like hiking which is a bit of a bummer but I can handle that). Thing is he was having a drink with a mate of his who is a bit older – his mate just happens to know my landlord (who lives in the house next door to me and my landlord and I go fishing a fair bit). Talk about a small world!!!
Everything was going good – a little bit of discrete touching of legs and I was feeling pretty darn confident (the older mate saw some people he knew so ducked off and left us alone). Then we were thinking of leaving so ‘he’ went to check on his mate – I went to the bathroom and since ‘he’ wasn’t back at the bar yet I stood outside and ended up talking to this French chick about snowboarding. I was keeping an eye out but somehow ‘he’ got back into the bar and I didn’t realise – I was thinking that he had ditched me and I’m guess that he was thinking the same about me. Finally I go back into the bar and he is talking to another guy – who I know and who is a fucking looser. Now I’m the 3rd wheel…. thankfully ‘his’ mate comes back and does an awesome block by telling the guy that the three of us were discussing some business.
But, I think it is too late. Now ‘he’ feels sorry for this guy because he is a looser. When we left ‘he’ checked in on the looser and said goodnight and as we were walking down the street ‘he’ had to run back for his fone – BULLSHIT!!!!!
Am I reading too much into this guys?
As I sit here in front of the fire having a scotch and writing this post I’m in 2 minds…. I could feel rejected and bummed but at the same time I’m kinda not that bummed – he doesn’t snowboard, doesn’t like hiking, his arse is a little too big – his arse is fine I’m just finding reasons now.
We were supposed to catch up next week but I don’t know how to play it – I’d be super stoked to get some feedback from you guys. He is working tomorrow so he’ll be online if I want to touch base but I think that I should lay low and see what he comes back with – we had been drinking so perhaps he was a little drunk and I know that the older guy loves me so I’ll get a good word in there.
The last couple of days I have been flat out busy again – why the hell am I always so busy? The thing is that since I’ve landed in New Zealand I have been busy with stuff offline – take today for example, I was up at the normal hour and after a 2 minute email check I just got online and it is after 10pm.
Weather here has been particularly beaufitul lately so that might explain me being busy outside – thankfully this weekend is supposed to be ABSOLUTE RUBBISH. The ski resort here opens on Saturday but if the weather forecast is true I don’t think I’ll be along for that – more time to spend online hopefully.
What I wanted to ask you guys – I’d love some comments on this (comments are the only method of feedback I have here and whenever I get comments I do feel ‘special’). Anyways I wanted to know if you guys wanted more shorter posts or how I’ve been doing it now – posting maybe 4 days a week with some bigger posts?
As I have a pretty big blogroll I only get to read soem blogs every few days but since I know that you guys read my blog every day I’m thinking that perhaps you guys would like me to post a couple of times a day.
Keen to hear what you think.
