I've got a lil spare time...So I thought I fill you guys in on what's going on in Joe's world...

Been real busy at the new Job...and I gotta say...So far I HATE it. I just litterally cant stand it..I keep hoping it'll get better, But so far..that hasnt happened...

Our very first Model Gage got outta prison early...I've talked to him on the phone a couple times..Got a fiance and step kid....He's hoping to start a family....He says his video days are over...Something he did when he was younger.. He's only 21 now LOL We'll see what happens...Maybe I'll ride by and see how he looks...He says he's all "sleeved-up" now...Right now, he's on House arrest...so He hasnt had a chance to stop by...

"Young Jay" and "The Fan" JR...Didnt find true love after all...Young Jay got acceppted to the Job Corp..and called to say he was doing well...So we'll see what happens to him.....Hopefully, he will do well, and be happy...

I miss my Buddy BBA'a blog entries here at HP...I've checked out his blog....at his new place...I always wished I had the time/drive/creativity/etc to promote my vids a tenth as well as he promoted his...It's hard to have a blog, and pour out some of yor most "secret thoughts and or details" and not really recieve any feedback...That was one thing I liked abut BBA's blog was that it provoked alot of response...Mine on the other hand...not so much...anyway I checked it out a couple of days ago...And I was shocked to learn that he was considering shutting down... A Tremendous Coincidence...

While my Situation hasnt been so severe...with models being outted, and threats for my safety, (knock on wood) Etc, etc... It's more about the risk involved. Just the other day..our place was broken into yet again..one of the models Im sure...But who? Sure we sell some vids. But frankly, not enough vids to replace thousands of dollars of electronics, and or just plain ol simple peice of mind..Maybe thats why "studio porn" is so popular...It's all clean and sanitized and you know EXACTLY who you are dealing with at all times..Rather than worrying about a "model" Breaking into your house, Even though you zigged and zagged and took backroads to your Place...Or going bezerk and trying to hurt you, or steal your car...I relax a lil after I scan their ID to my PC in the rafters..But Ill bet there are some guys that wont realize you ve scanned their ID till after they've robbed you...I guess thats the "secret" price of all that realism..

Maybe I should just be more organized, Start a new "label" and only film guys in like, motel rooms on certain days or something..A schedule ...rather than filming them as I find them....I dont know...THe thing I like most about my vids is that you see it pretty much as it happens...I watch them later sometimes..and I like the "real-ness" of them...I dont know Id feel the same about a vid shot in a motel 6 or something...

The other thing that I'm kinda struggling with...Is I'm not a "film maker" Some amateur guys talk about the "art" of filmmaking But, Im not claiming to be a filmaker..I just like regular ol redneck guys, and some black guys, and Mexicans...Not rico suave latins, mexicans. I try to film them from what I call the "dicksuckers view" So much amateur porn is far way wide angle shots...I like to get in a lil close..Like what you'd see if you were there...On xtube people criticize my camera angles sometimes..Makes me realize Im just a rank amateur, competing in a vast arena with professional people..No wonder I cant make enough money to make the "risk" seem smaller and more manageable.

Which brings me to this...I have a simple goal.. two really. I wanna make enough money to buy a second car then sell my old one...I need about 8 grand in cash, plus what I sell my car for...to get what I want...(let me just tell ya my car is a 95 with 170,000 miles) So nothing exotic in my future...And I would like to be able to quit this job I hate....So very FUCKING much..

SO I was cruising on this board/forum for gay webmasters...Which I know absolutely nothing about setting up a paysite...And there is a guy there posting..He's a webmaster(from what i think I know about it, is he sends "visitors" embedded with his ID cookie to certain site and if the "visitor" buys something or signs up for a membership he gets paid) Well he likes to post his stats...and he made about 7 grand in the month I saw his post...from the various sponsors..and GET THIS he made morefrom AEBN than we did from AEBN.net and he doesnt even have to make any content, shoot any vids, assume ANY risk, and from the same content we are Selling on AEBN...He made more money than us and we had a GOOD MONTH...LOL

I've been laerning that there are other apparently more lucrative ways to make money in porn. Perhaps it's time to re-evaluate things a bit...Maybe another reason amateur porn producers come and go..Wonder if the vids we make someday will be highly desired examples of "vintage" Porn "from the decadent begining of the 21st century" I was watching a tv show couple days ago..and this guys catches people engaging in prostituiton, then posts them on the internet "where they remain forever" his words...Kinda got me thinking...Will our vids be there forever? Am I taking advantage of the young ones like Blaze, and ricky and nimrod by issuing them one way tickets to "foreverness...with their pants down?

Personally...I feel like alot of males have a secret desire to show off...otherwise, I think you'd run into alot of...."yeah I'll do gay stuff...just not on cam" I think in their minds....somehow..having a camera in the room "absolves" them of any gayness...

I know ...Im rambling I've got so many questions and psuedo observations...yet no one to share them with...

OK...I just wanted to say THANK YOU to all of our loyal fans and viewers Y'all made "dirty old men" one of our best performers at AEBN and I wanted to say thanks....You know staying in the :#1most watched spot in New Releases for a week, certainly increased our prescence and maybe might bring us some new fans....getting my closer to my new wheels...LOL

OK Here's what we are working on now...From Weekend at Joe's....It was...What it was..
