When you travel constantly you get used to eating out or other people cooking for you, so when you have to return to cooking again, it’s a slow start, but amazingly enough my cooking skills quickly returned.<br />

While Rich is working on the technical aspects of the website I am working on accounting, contract management and working on starting a specialized travel tour company. <br />
<br />
If any of you ever wanted to go to the places I have been, well, in a few months you will be able to....with ME! With the backing of IGLTA and the Colombian Ministry of Tourism we are working on the first tour to Colombia which will feature the largest club, Theatron, in The Americas, located in Bogota, the amazing and fun city of Medellin, Colombia's Amazon city of Leticia, Colombia's Caribbean coastal cities of Cartagena and Santa Marta, and the coffee plantation drive from Medellin to Cali.

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">I just wanted to share the press release I sent out with you all. You all may remember that I first announced I was retiring as a performer and then I wanted to sell my company. Well, the reason I was shying away from the industry is because I was so frustrated with the contract I was in with Gunzblazing. Now that I have full control over my whole company I am reinvigorated to come back with more of the hot content you all have enjoyed. Even more, I decided that since I will be in FULL CONTROL of my company from the re-launch I will also be in one scene per month for you, but ONLY available on the new </span><a href="http://www.worldofmen.com/"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">www.worldofmen.com</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS;">THE PRESS RELEASE:</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">“Read my tattoo,” says Collin, “it says resistance (al-muqawama) in Arabic, and that’s just what I’m doing!” Loyal fans of www.collinoneal.com have been writing in asking what happened to the content they love. One fan even sent Collin the e-mails he had been receiving from news@collinoneal.com stating “Collin O'Neal is closing down soon, but if you still want to receive steaming hot man pictures in your inbox, get your name on some of our hot friends great mailing lists!” </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">“I mean really, how nasty can a company be, pretending to be me, using my image that is copyright protected, telling my loyal fans and customers that I am shutting down,” adds Collin.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Collin O’Neal Productions, consisting of Collin O’Neal and Rich Richards, have been working very hard to re-launch www.collinoneal.com as www.worldofmen.com as quickly as possible. The projected launch date is October 21. “Both Rich and I have been working 12 hour days to get my content back up with a new platform that will knock the socks of the porn world,” says Collin.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">On August 10, AEBN offered to buy all assets of Collin O’Neal Productions for only $30,000, including all DVD inventory, which Collin O’Neal Productions quickly refused. “My accountant asked if they left off a zero from the offer. We both had a good laugh then I quickly told AEBN such an offer is obviously not something we would consider,” says Collin.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">By October 4, AEBN released the www.collinoneal.com domain name to Collin O’Neal Productions and the attempt of a hostile takeover by AEBN of Collin O’Neal Productions was dead in the water. “It seems that some people out there underestimate my ability to survive and reorganize quickly. Rich and I have several sources of income, including very lucrative non-porn production projects,” adds Collin.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Collin O’Neal Productions has already collected nearly 500 e-mails of fans that are ready for the re-launch in addition to a 1,200 e-mail strong list from before Collin O’Neal Productions contracted Gunzblazing/Pistol Media.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">“One thing about me is that the harder you try to beat me down, the stronger I become. This recent incident reinvigorated the passion in me to come back with the best pro-amateur site on the market. Read my tattoo: resistance!”</span><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong>That's how I feel about the contract!</strong></span><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">First, you all have been well aware of the struggle I have had with a contractor. It's finally over! I won't go into the nasty details, but I will let you know a company I have nicknamed the "darth vador" of the porn industry tried a hostile take-over of my company. </span><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Did it work? HELL NO!</span><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Did I want to leave the porn industry? YES! BUT, it was mainly because the struggle I was having with this contractor and the evil doing of "darth vador."</span><br />
</div><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: large;">Will I continue to run my company? YES! All by myself now. My business partner, Rich, and I are very excited to have 100% control of the company and very excited to bring it back stronger than ever!</span><br />

A lot of you have been wondering where I have been.

COLLINONEAL.COM will be redirected to WORLDOFMEN.COM on October 1st and you can still view my content and all of my content will be transferred over to WORLDOFMEN.COM. Gunzblazing seem to be pretty raw that I complained about them taking money for not doing their job, but at last, they did not do their job for 3 months last year and again 2 months this year so it's about time I partner with a new hosting/marketing company. </span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Recently Gunzblazing sent out an e-mail stating "collinoneal.com will be shutting down." This was my last straw with this nasty company! In addition, they are trying to roll all of my loyal subscribers into their other websites. I ask all of you to watch out for this nasty practice! If you enjoy my globetrotting around the world to bring you hot amateur non-studio porn productions then please do not let Gunzblazing transfer your membership in my website to one of their others!

<br />
I just wanted to clarify some myths or wrongly reported stories regarding my website and production company.<br />
<br />
<u>First:</u> my website is <strong>NOT</strong> <strong>going away</strong>. Updates will continue as usual, but recently there has been a lag in memberships so I am back down to 2 scenes per month, but remember, you have access to 8 different sites when you log onto collinoneal.com! If memberships pick back up I will be glad to provide 4 unique full sex scenes per month.<br />
<br />
<u>Second:</u> I am in negotiations with a company to take over the running of my website and production company, but <strong>I will still be a producer finding new hot guys from around the world.</strong><br />
<br />
<u>Third:</u> <strong>I want your feedback!</strong> Please e-mail </span><a href="mailto:rich@collinoneal.biz"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">rich@collinoneal.biz</span></a><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> if you are unhappy with anything on my website or have been asked to join another website and still have access to mine.<br />
<br />
<u>Fourth:</u> My website since about 6 months into its creation has not been about me, but rather guys that I have sourced from around the world that are not part of the Hollywood/San Francisco/New York porn company trade where models are passed around. Let me know if you think otherwise.<br />
<br />
Now, in the meantime I am continuing to work hard for you all so please stick around. I will be launching my new website </span><a href="http://www.worldofmen.com/"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">http://www.worldofmen.com/</span></a><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> very soon with new content and all of my old members will be offered special rates. Once again, send an e-mail to </span><a href="mailto:rich@collinoneal.biz"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">rich@collinoneal.biz</span></a><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> if you want to be kept up to date on all development and specials to come!</span><br />

For all of you that have supported me as I traveled the world to bring you never-before-seen men from around the world I appreciate your dedication.<br /><br />I have tons of content to keep my website going, so don't worry, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">ok</span>! Also, I am looking for another producer with more marketing resources who I can mold into World of Men, not Collin <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">O'Neal's</span> World of Men.<br /><br />But I think it is time for me to slowly back out of this industry. Lately I have been very disappointed in the industry and the way people are looking for free porn and also competition from producers that are in Europe and South America paying models just enough to feed their mouths. In fact, models use to make a lot of money, but since more and more people are throwing porn up for free it has forced producers to cut costs and after firing staff, producers then start <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">severely</span> digging into model fees.<br /><br />If you haven't noticed, the majority of my blog has been about my travel experiences and nothing to do with the porn business. Soon enough I will change the name of my blog and will not have anything to do with porn anymore.<br /><br />Last, I have met many good hearted nice people in this business; you know who you are, and those that are not, you know who you are also.<br /><br />-Collincollinonealhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18019748517224961164noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102018755971802156.post-89499533526213172762009-04-24T04:14:00.000-07:002009-08-16T12:10:37.471-07:00Finally!

I have now been dislodged from my lazy Miami Beach location into the hustle and bustle of Hollywood. Long story short, I pitched an idea for a travel show that caught the attention of studio and media execs. Not only that, one of my good friends in LA, who happens to be a stylist to the stars, started to introduce me to a few of his clinets. <strong><br />

After x-mas with my family, I went to Las Vegas for a convention then to Portland to visit my dad and pick up a new Audi A5. While I was in Vegas Tichina called me up and told me she had to go to Miami, but she only wanted to fly first class. So the cheapest way I could get her there in first class was to fly with her, using my Executive Platinum status with American. So when Rich and I arrived in Portland (thanks to Alaska Airlines for the complimentary upgrade!), my dad and step-mother picked us up and went to the dealership, then off to the hotel to work and go to bed early since I had an 8am flight to LAX to meet up with Tichina. The next morning I easily made the flight without rushing, but after all of us passengers on the Horizon Air CRJ buckled up and the plane jetted down the runway the pilot aborted the take off! Most of the passengers were scared shitless, but I have been on many aborted take offs and landings in my life so I was not so scared, but rather concerned about meeting up with Tichina at LAX. Within 1 hour Horizon replaced the plane and we were on our way to LAX again.<br />

Four days back home were really nice (Thanks T!)...get your mind out of the gutter, T is my nickname for Tichina. I flew back to LA with T and then on to San Francisco by myself to take the car from Rich as he went to New York to work on a documentary we've been working on for over 1 year now. I drove down to LA to look for a place while negotiating a deal with my investor for my travel show project.<br />

After spending a few calm cold days in Oregon with my dad and step mom, I headed down to spend a few days with my mom in the San Francisco area. After a few <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">uneventful</span> days with mom I was on my way back home to Miami Beach.<br /><br /></div></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6455-742514.jpg" border="0" /><br /><p align="center"></span></p><p align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>The new <a href="http://www.qantas.com.au/info/flying/A380/index" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Qantas A380</span></a> at <a href="http://www.lawa.org/welcomeLAX.cfm" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff0000;">LAX</span></a></strong> </span><br /></p><p align="center"><a href="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6456-742568.jpg"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6456-742560.jpg" border="0" /> </span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Yes, I travel coach sometimes.

I actually never made it to the beach to relax, but rather spent most of the time cleaning my place and preparing it for the arrival of my dad and step-mother. Then I got a phone call from my good friend <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Thara</span> (or maybe it was her alter ego <a href="http://www.shaktionline.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Shakti</strong></span></a>) and she let me know she was in the area. I convinced <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Thara</span> to stay over Monday night so I could take her to <a href="http://www.southbeach-usa.com/clubs/articles/chat-noir/chat-4-28-08.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Chat Noir</strong></span></a>. We had a great time there and she was amazed at the entertainment the <a href="http://www.pennybackboyz.com/TheBoyz/"target="_blank"><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Penny Back Boys</span></strong></a> help organize for that evening. Half way through the evening a fire dancer <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">dressed</span> in a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganesha" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Ganesh</span></strong></a> outfit appeared on stage. My friend <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Thara</span>, being and Indian, was so <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">excited</span> to see this very unique act. But then half way through the act <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Ganesh</span> let go of one of the fire ropes and it flew into the audience....<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">youch</span>!

I took them to the Everglades then to Naples and then back to Miami Beach in the same day. They were really excited to see all the wildlife in the Miami area and I really think they just didn't expect to see so much nature. The following day I took them to Key West, which is an amazing drive. We spent the night and then headed back stopping by Coral Castle along the way. The next day I took my step-mom to <a href="http://www.fairchildgarden.org/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Fairchild Trpoical Botanic Garden</strong></span></a> and then to the <a href="http://www.miamibeach411.com/attractions/lincoln_market.html" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">farmers market on Lincoln Road</span></strong></a>. The final day we went to <a href="http://www.vizcayamuseum.org/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Vizcaya</span></strong></a> which happened to be such a surprise to all of us. I have lived in Miami for 13 years and have never been, but I also never knew <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">Vizcaya</span> is filled with original art dating back hundreds of years.<br /></p><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6486-759894.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center"><strong>The beauty of nature in Naples, Florida</strong><br /></p><p align="left">The next day Rich, my step mother, my dad, and I all boarded an American Airlines flight to LA taking four seats in their flat bed first class cabin right behind a woman with 3 wild children that caused a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">ruckus</span> making first class a down right romper room! Rich and I left my dad and step mom at LAX for their continuation flight to San Diego and then went to work.

Well guys, I book everything myself. Long long ago I was a travel agent (actually when I was 16 until I was 18). So I continue to book my own travel and even help some people book their travel such as Chi Chi LaRue that calls me for advice and as a birthday present for my favorite person in my industry I used 2 of my E-VIP international upgrades to upgrade her from LA to Paris (see pics of her party below).<br /><br />Now, back to my Hawaii trip. Rich and I went to Hawaii as a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mileage_run" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>mileage run</strong></span></a>. A mileage run is when you find a cheap airfare that goes a long distance so you get a lot of frequent flyer miles on the cheap. Rich went the week before in addition to this trip to get super extra miles (the round trip from Miami was only $500 and the mileage gained is 10,000 plus our bonus 100% miles for being Executive Platinum members of American Airlines <a href="http://www.aa.com/aa/AAdvantage/aadvantageHomeAccess.do?anchorEvent=false" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>AAdvantage Program</strong></span></a>). But this time it was also Rich's birthday, so I decided we should hop on a plane and head to see the natural wonders of the Big Island. After a short hop to Hilo on <a href="http://www.iflygo.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Go!

On my flight from Paris to Berlin I had a whole row of three seats to myself, but this time the plane was near full and I decided I do not like Air France's European operations. The seats are very tight with bad leg room so you basically can't recline either or else you whack the persons' knees behind you and then they prevent you from reclining by pushing your seat right back into place with their knees! The one hour and twenty minute flight seemed almost as long as my flight to Miami!!! Anyway, we landed at Charles <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">de</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Gaulle</span> where I promptly <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">de</span>-boarded and quickly shuffled from terminal 2D to terminal 2A and easily made my flight to Miami with only a one hour connecting time.

Instead of dealing with work issues, I was mainly dealing with family issues. I really needed to go out by myself on Halloween and have, well, a bit of a fun time. Little did I know my Halloween outing would turn into a bloody event....no kidding! I went to <a href="http://www.canibalshop.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Canibal</span></span></span> Pub</strong></span></a> where the Pub owners know who I am and the crowd is always fun and full of locals.

After a few drinks we went up stairs to dance. Actually, I think I went up stairs to pee and when I came out of the bathroom I was dragged onto the dance floor. It all started fun, but after about 5 minutes my dancing was disrupted by a large thump! A large speaker fell directly on my head, but I think the vodka helped to make me not realize the seriousness of my injury right away. Since it was Halloween, the blood gushing from my head and running down my face did not provoke an immediate response except for the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">tranny</span></span></span> dancing with me.

I had a 9:45am flight to Madrid and then onto Paris. After arriving in Paris I drove to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antwerp" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Antwerp</span></strong></a> to see my grandmother and have dinner with my extended family. All night long I wanted to turn on the television, but it was just too early to get any results of the election so I spent the night enjoying my family. After returning from the dinner at my uncle's house I turned on the television and hunkered down to find out what would happen with my country. As you know (or if you don't scroll down a bit) I already sent in my ballot on October 10<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">th</span></span></span> and there shouldn't be any guessing concerning who I voted for, but I did post a picture if you really want to see! At around 2am (GMT +1) CNN was giving Pennsylvania to Obama and that is when CNN and I knew Obama would win, but CNN was not going to make a definite decision for a half hour later. Tears came to my eyes, I got goosebumps, and the stress built up in shoulders was released. After 8 years of the worst president of America's history the legacy will die soon and not be carried on by McCain. Electing Obama is the first step, now Obama has to implement, implement, IMPLEMENT! And stick to his word.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">By the way Bush, I hope you accidentally turn around as the door is closing and it flatly whacks you hard enough in your ugly monkey face, enough to break your nose so you leave knowing how much you are hated by the majority of us Americans and nearly everyone else around the world and what a disaster you created for Americans during your stolen presidency.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">One last comment about the election. I travel to Europe very often and the past 8 years Europeans have been not very friendly to Americans....especially the French. However, since we elected Obama, even the French are becoming extremely polite to Americans, even offering to speak English and be friendly without asking if they speak in English in their on language first!!!</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">After my quick trip to Belgium, I returned to Paris to spend Chi Chi <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">LaRue's</span></span></span> birthday with him.

So maybe I will start with where everything was going right...back on Miami Beach with Francois <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Sagat</span></span> and Eddie <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Diaz</span></span> the night before leaving for Berlin:</span><br /></div><a href="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6019-721661.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6019-721538.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>So it all started out innocent enough</strong></span></p><p><br /><a href="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6024-794242.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6024-794127.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6021-722813.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6021-722639.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p></p><p></p><p align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong></strong></span></p><p align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong></strong></span></p><p align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong></strong></span></p><p align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Then we started to have a few drinks....</strong></span></p><br /><br /><a href="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6031-786240.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6031-786090.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a></p><p align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Then we went to go see <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"><a href="http://www.pussila.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Pussila</span></a> </span></span>at <a href="http://www.twistsobe.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Twist</span></a>...</strong></span> </p><p align="center"><br /><a href="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6033-783077.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6033-782954.jpg" border="0" /> </p><p align="center"></a></p><p align="center"><strong>more drinks...

I was able to accomplish a lot the following day before leaving to London, enough so that I was tired when I boarded and fell <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">asleep</span>. A side note: Someone commented a few posts back about how boring it was that I talked a lot about travel, that I fly business class and comment a lot about types of aircraft and different airlines and airplanes. Well, soon <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">enough</span> I will be posting a whole travel section on my website <a href="http://www.worldofmen.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">worldofmen</span></span>.com</strong></span></a> for those of you that LOVE travel like myself. So not to bore the reader that posted the comment too much, yes, I never fly coach over 2 hours and especially not on an overnight flight....I did that too much in my past (and I will be telling you the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">secrets</span> soon enough how to get into business or first without having to pay full price).<br /><br />For the past 2 years Rich and I have made it a point to go to London for a half day to see his friend David on our way to Berlin. We get off the plane, take a shower at <a href="http://www.aa.com/aa/i18nForward.do?p=/travelInformation/airportAmenities/AAFlagshipLounges.jsp" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>American Airline's arrivals lounge at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Heathrow</span></span></strong></span></a>, do a bit of business and then board the tube for central London. This time we forced David to come to Soho and eat with us at <a href="http://www.timeout.com/london/restaurants/reviews/8054.html" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Busaba</span></span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Eathai</span></span></strong></span></a>, our favorite Thai restaurant. Rich and I grabbed a quick coffee at Costa and we ran into an Israeli guy we met in Rio at <a href="http://www.leboy.com.br/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Le Boy</span></strong></a> just a few weeks ago! The gay world is totally small! After lunch we strolled down to the Thames with David, said bye and then as Rich and I were heading for the Tube we ran into my models Pedro and Daniel randomly on the street! Small world, eh?<br /></span><a href="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6047-791736.jpg"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6047-791604.jpg" border="0" /></span> <p align="center"></span></a></p><p align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>David, Rich and I at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Busaba</span></span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Eathai</span></span> </strong></span></p><p align="center"><a href="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6048-785955.jpg"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6048-785818.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> <strong>Running into Pedro and Daniel randomly on the street in Soho!</strong> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">A quick flight to Berlin, then we were finally in for the night after a very long day and trip(s). The reason we go to Berlin is not for <a href="http://www.hustlaball.de/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Hustlaball</strong></span></a>, but rather for <a href="http://www.venus-berlin.com/en/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Venus</span></strong></a>, but Rich and I agreed that this is the last year we will be attending Venus since porn trade shows have been going downhill very quickly in the past few years. So I guess we decided to make the best of the trip and go out a bit. Rich convinced me to go to a "bubble gum <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">twinky</span></span>" club. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Ok</span></span>, I had fun and it wasn't all twinks, but for some reason I am equally attracted to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">trannies</span></span> as <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">trannies</span></span> are to me....now don't get me wrong, no <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">tranny</span></span> sex here, just love <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">hangin</span></span>' with them.<br /><br /></p></span><br /><a href="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6050-731904.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6050-731783.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a></p><p align="center"><strong>Paging all <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">trannies</span>!</strong><br /><br /></p><a href="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6051-732123.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6051-731996.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a></p><p align="center"><strong><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">Tranny</span>, its <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">Tranny</span> form Transylvania!

Later that evening we headed for <strong><a href="http://www.berlin-airport.de/EN/index.html" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Tempelhof</span></a></strong> Airport for a quick flight on <a href="http://www.brusselsairlines.be/en_be/home/default.aspx" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Brussels Airlines</span></strong></a> to Brussels (of course!). We didn't know until we arrived at the airport that the airport was going to close in just a week. I knew there was a fight to keep the airport open, but no one seemed to show up at the city council meeting to voice their opinion so subsequently the city of Berlin decided to shut the airport down. I will not go into the interesting history of the airport, but you can click here on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempelhof_International_Airport" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff0000;">TEMPELHOF</span></a> and read about it on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_30">wikipedia</span>.<br /><br /></p><a href="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6077-785250.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6077-785101.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a></p><p align="center"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>In front of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_31">Tempelhof</span></strong></span> </p><p align="center"><br /><a href="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6081-785501.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6081-785338.jpg" border="0" /> </p><p align="center"></a></p><p align="center"><strong>The fabulous Art Deco interior<br /></strong><br /></p><a href="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6099-704330.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6099-704194.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Miss <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_32">Thang</span> boarding Brussels Airlines</strong></span> </p><p align="center"><br /></p><p align="center"><a href="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6102-748836.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6102-748711.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6113-787456.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6113-787313.jpg" border="0" /></a> <strong>One last bye bye to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_33">Tempelhof</span> from Brussels Airlines</strong> </p><p align="left"><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I'm not exactly sure how many European cities you can fit into one day, but Rich and I seemed to fit in Brussels, Antwerp and even Amsterdam into one day! I felt like we were on some straight oriented 10 day tour of Europe being in a new city every day...even our European friends and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_34">colleagues</span> made fun of us for being in Brussels and Amsterdam in the same day! </span></p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><p align="center"><br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/0x6ygy2B0O0&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/0x6ygy2B0O0&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><strong>Driving in Amsterdam cannot be done without <a href="http://www.tomtom.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Tom Tom</span></a>!</strong><br /></p><p align="left">After visiting many retailers in the region I discovered my business was being sucked into the nasty banking crisis we are having in the US! While we were away we had a friend deposit a few checks that Bank of America promises to release the next day, but for some reason they put a 2 week hold on thousands of dollars that we needed. In addition to Bank of America being nasty with money, we also needed some items sent to us via FedEx that was going to cost around $200. I had a total nervous breakdown throwing my phone across the room breaking it. I quickly got on the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_35">internet</span> to see how much it would be to fly home the next day. Amazingly a last minute ticket from Amsterdam to Miami and returning to Paris was only $840. So there I was on a plane from Amsterdam to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_36">Heathrow</span> and then onto Miami the next morning at 7:20am.<br /><br />When I arrived in Miami I stormed into Bank of America directly from the airport, luggage in hand, and asked them to release the funds. Magically, the branch manager took off early and I would have to come back the next day. I was so pissed I let off steam at the gym and then went out later that evening to Twist. The next day the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_37">manager</span> did release the funds then I went to see my accountant. From that point on all was going well and I was able to get a lot done in the next few days. On Friday I called my mom to find out how all was going to only find out my great aunt was in the hospital. I made plans to go to California Saturday and then return to Paris Sunday but my mom assured me she would be all right, so I stayed in Miami and went back to Paris arriving Monday morning. By the time I arrived in Paris, my great aunt was much worse and the following day I had to fly to Spain for work. So here I am now trying to catch up on work and this blog. My great aunt finally passed away, but by doing so this incident pitted my brother, aunt and cousin against my mother that was acting out towards all of us. Some people never get to know their extended families such as great aunts, but my mother's side of the family is very small and very close. Now that the drama has ended along with my great aunt Betty's life, I can continue to get back to normal, but I promised my family I would go to California for the whole month to help organize everything.....<br /></p></span><a href="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6204-706668.jpg"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG6204-706581.jpg" border="0" /></span> <p align="center"></a><strong>Trying to enjoy Paris...I'll miss you Aunt Betty!</strong><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></p>collinonealhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18019748517224961164noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102018755971802156.post-81431456370742640642008-10-17T12:46:00.000-07:002009-08-16T12:10:37.538-07:00I Love Saturday Night Live!<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">SOOOOOOOO politically incorrect, but soooooo funny....where do they get this shit from?

We both have always heard of it, but never visited it in our extensive travels. So we hopped in a car and took off through the rolling hills below the Andes to the Chilean coast right through Chile's wine country. First we drove through Valparaiso which is a very <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">intersting</span></span> city architecturally, but not enough to stop the car and wander. We continued about 2 miles northeast to Valparaiso which is modern and built up with tall condo units. We parked the car, walked along the beach and then down the boardwalk and ended up at a seafood restaurant. I'm not a huge fan of seafood, so I opted for the interesting crab <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"><span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">lasagna</span></span>.</span> </div><div align="center"><br /><br /></div><a href="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG5908-712273.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG5908-712186.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center"></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><strong>Vina <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">del</span></span> Mar, Chile<br /></strong></span><br /></p><a href="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG5909-712418.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG5909-712333.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">After dinner we decided to drive back to Santiago for a quick rest before going out. As we headed into Valparaiso Olivia Newton-John's song "<span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Hopelessly</span> Devoted to You" piped in on the radio and Rich and I turned into total geeks and sang along to it (watch the video if you dare)! Later that evening we went out to <strong><u><a href="http://www.bunker.cl/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Bunker</span></a></u></strong>, Santiago's premier nightclub only open on Friday's and Saturday's full of Chile's sexy men and women. The club starts out with hot <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">tranny</span></span> acts, male dancers, and other great stage acts then ends up playing great music until 5am. And yes, we left at 5am to get a decent rest before heading to the airport at noon for a 2pm flight. </span><br /><br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4BkJj45QmVs&hl=en&fs=1"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4BkJj45QmVs&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">We arrived at Santiago airport about 1 1/2 hour early. When flying in LAN Chile business class you actually have separate immigration and baggage screening lanes from coach passengers which took less than a total of 2 minutes for both! AMAZING! After 20 minutes in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">LAN's</span></span> lounge we were notified the flight would be 3 hours late so we were given vouchers for lunch and had a horrible one at Ruby Tuesday's...gross! Anyway, we did take off in enough time to see the Andes at sunset which was even more beautiful than our daytime landing. 3 1/2 hours later and we landed in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Sao</span></span> Paulo. Rich's friends picked us up and took us into town and on to <em>Danger</em> a trashy nightclub in old downtown <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Sao</span></span> Paulo.

Since it is only a 45 minute flight I decided to book the cheapest airline possible to save our budget a bit: <u><strong><a href="http://www.oceanair.com.br/empresa/site/default.asp?IdLinguaTraducao=61KVG2RLYQPKDGSM&nseta_Cookies=true" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Ocean Air</span></a></strong></u>. We decided to stay one more day in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">Sao</span></span> Paulo since we stayed one day longer in Santiago and decided to fly to Rio instead of driving to Rio saving us 8 hours or so. We spent the rainy day just lounging, going to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Congonhas</span></span> airport to buy the tickets, and then heading back to Blue Space.

Rich and I had a plan to trick LAN in to letting stay at least one night in Santiago so when we arrived at <strong><u><a href="http://www.aa2000.com.ar/index.php" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Eze</span></span><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">iza</span> airport </span></a></u></strong>in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Buenos</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Aires</span> we started to sweet talk the agent, but found out quickly no sweet talk was actually needed. You see, every American needs a <a href="http://www.brazilmiami.org/eng/visas.php" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;"><u>visa for Brazil</u></span></strong> </a>and the airlines are the first line of enforcement. I have a visa and so does Rich, but not in the passport he is carrying! So, the agent checked us to Santiago only and told us we should figure it out there. Before we boarded the plane we ran to the <a href="http://www.aa.com/aa/i18nForward.do?p=/travelInformation/airportAmenities/AdmiralsClub.jsp" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;"><u>Admiral's Club</u></span></strong> </a>in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Buenos</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Aires</span> to ask for help. Basically, we needed a good two days to fix the visa/passport issue. The agent guaranteed that we would leave at 7am on Saturday and then the gate agent confirmed so we boarded happy.<br /><br />This was the first time flying LAN Chile and was very excited to see what their business product was like. LAN has more space than American, but the seat is a bit more rigid and not as soft and plush as American. Nonetheless, the service was excellent, the seat laid completely flat, and the food was amazing. About 2 hours into the flight the plane started to approach the Andes which is an amazing sight! The Andes are so high the plane flies just over them and then a sharp turn down into the valley Santiago lies in right up against the majestic Andes. After landing, being shocked by having to pay the $131 per person "reciprocity" fee, and then being shocked by rental car <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">process</span> we went up to reconfirm with LAN what the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Adminral's</span> Club did in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">Buenos</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">Aires</span>. We found out LAN cancelled the flight, reverted us back to the original itinerary and blamed it on the fact we were flying on a ticket issued by American. Rich decided to yell at the LAN agents while I called up the American Airlines Executive Platinum desk on my cell phone. I told the agent that we really needed to fix the visa issue and she <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">promptly</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">rebooked</span> us on the 2:15pm flight on Saturday (instead of the yucky 7am flight)! It appears LAN is not so helpful in the end, but American, especially lately has risen above and beyond expectations.<br /><br /></div><a href="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG5888-769809.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG5888-769659.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="left"></a></p><p align="center"><strong>View of the Andes provided by LAN Chile<br /></strong></p><p align="left">We finally checked into our hotel in Santiago and for the next few hours worked with our friends in Miami, especially Eddie <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">Diaz</span> (thanks big guy!), to find Rich's passport with the Brazilian visa and then figure out how to get it to Santiago by the time our flight leaves on Saturday.

About 3 weeks ago I decided to make some major changes to my look. For the past year I toyed with the idea of a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">mohawk</span>, so I finally took the plunge and had my hair stylist create a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">mohawk</span>. One week later I went to get my eyebrow and nipple pierced. Many like my new look and a very few don't. I live in South Beach so people think my look is cool, but I went to New York 2 weeks ago and even the most liberal gays stared at me very <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">strangly</span>. My first assumption is that my look was way to liberal to have a professional job in New York. My assumption was confirmed by a few New Yorkers letting me know that New York is all about where you work and how much you make and there is no way someone with my look could have a good job. (Just to let you know New Yorkers that I have a very fun job running my own business traveling the world meeting and filming hot men...so ha!) I'd rather look like a punk and work when I went, fly first class, and live two blocks from the beach than work for some nasty corporate boss that only thinks I do good work only if I stay until 8pm every night and dress in an Armani suite. </span><br /><p><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Last, but not least, please take note of the new look and feel of my blog. I finally decided to clean it up a bit and set my links to pop up and not redirect my blog to another website. </p><br /><br /><object height="350" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PHGvRwvUVZo"><br /> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PHGvRwvUVZo" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed> </object></span><br /></span>collinonealhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18019748517224961164noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102018755971802156.post-82046477860244248752008-09-21T11:04:00.000-07:002009-10-03T09:49:46.627-07:00New York, Buenos Aires and Montevideo!<div align="left"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">So after a quick trip to New York to visit retailers. Rich and I took off for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Buenos</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Aires</span>. Since I have been on a gym binge since I made the break up with my ex final I went to the gym right before heading to the airport. Personally I have felt for a while that I really to get my ass back into shape after traveling a ton over the past year, so we'll see what happens. After arriving at JFK and settling into the First Class Admirals lounge, Rich started chatting up this guy in the corner of the lounge. American kept delaying the flight and then told the guy that the flight would be on an older 767 making him think it would be a non-refurbished 767 without the flat bed, but rather a recliner seat. He even made me nervous, even though I know American finished their refurbishment of the 767s like a year ago and recently <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">finished</span> their 777 fleet, I was scared a bit. I asked the agent in the lounge and she told me it would be a "767 <em>jet</em>." Holy shit! I totally thought I was back in 1983! 767-<em>jet</em>, I mean really lady. </span><br />
</div><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"></span><a href="http://www.flypluna.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: red; font-family: trebuchet ms;"><strong>Pluna's</strong></span></a> website <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">to see how much it would cost to fly to Montevideo instead of taking the expensive boat (<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">buquebus</span> at $160 round trip) and I found a web special for Friday to Saturday for $59 round trip including taxes! So the next day we hopped on a nice new <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Pluna</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">CRJ</span> and took a quick 30 minute flight to Montevideo.</span><br />

<div align="left">Anyway, not only was it a "jet" it was also a completely reconfigured business class with flat beds. Our new friend Steve (the guy Rich chatted up in the lounge) changed his seat based on the misinformation of the lounge agent ended up with the one broken seat that would not recline fully! Although the flight was perfect for sleep: 10 hours, leaving 1.5 hours after take off and 1.5 hours before landing to get full sleep, which I did get 7 hours of sleep, after arriving at the hotel Rich and I slept for another 6 hours! <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">ahh</span>! Later, we met up with Steve and his boyfriend Ben at the Hotel <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Faena</span> for drinks then on to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Kilometro</span> Zero for some trashy fun.<br />

Just as I started to get some work done and take a few days at the beach the news started reporting about Ike. As Ike moved closer Florida declared a State of Emergency on Thursday and by Friday panic took over. We had a Category 4 Hurricane headed directly for us, so my business partner and I had to make evacuation plans, especially since we live 2 blocks from the beach and we work from home. Friday night I was coming home from, well I can't remember, but I stopped by Publix (our supermarket) and all the bottled water was gone, people were frantically pushing carts through the aisles, and about 50% of non-perishable items were ripped from the shelves. Ok, I'm usually not one to panic, but when I see other people panic I get nervous. </span></div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><div align="center"><br /><br /><a href="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG5690-771452.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG5690-771446.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"><strong>One of Ike's outter bands movin' in</strong></span></div><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><p><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">However, the next morning we woke up to see that Ike started heading south. By mid-day we were almost out of the cone. Sunday morning rolled around and we were 95% sure we would miss the brunt of Ike. What better to do than to ask Eddie Diaz to head to the beach with me, but by the time we left home one of Ike's bands blew in and we headed to The Palace for shelter (and mojitos). We did get a quick dip in the turbulent ocean though!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><br /><br /></p><p align="center"><a href="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG5687-774281.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG5687-774271.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"><strong>One of the reasons I live on South Beach :)</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"><a href="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG5697-753670.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG5697-753662.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Sunday evening I went to the closing party of Click at Dek 23. Omar, the promoter has been a friend for a long time so I agreed to bring my camera and film away! I had a great time playing with my camera and acting as interviewer (watch out Barbara Walters)! Later that night Rich and I popped by Twist to say "hi" to Pussila. Of course, she was acting as crazy as ever finding new ways to use colorful condoms! Monday night Rich and I went to Club Chat Noir at Dream. Chat Noir is the most fun on South Beach with a great mix of people. If you ever make it to South Beach Chat Noir is a must! </span><br /><a href="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG5706-715814.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG5706-715791.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Now I am in NY writing this at a Starbucks and preparing for my next international adventure.

Fay, mom, dad, LA and back<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I seem to have perfected how to shove 10 pounds of shit into a five pound bag. The only problem is that every so often I break down and crash for 2 days or so becoming a recluse. This adventure started with Tropical Storm Fay's dirty side hit Miami hard. FYI- the dirty side of a storm is the northwest quadrant and dirty meaning harsher winds and massive downpours. Fay started to hit Monday night so I was a bit worried about my Tuesday morning flight, but I lucked out and my flight took off between one of Fay's nasty bands. The take off of the large 777 was quite rough and then when we turned West and went directly over Fay the huge aircraft took a large dip....woo <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">hoo</span>!<br /><a href="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG5638-723710.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG5638-723668.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Needless to say I made it safe to LA and then up to San Jose where my mom picked me up. I spent the next two days finishing the work in her yard I started last month then on Thursday I drove with my cousin Gina up to Sacramento. My cousin wanted to go see Air Supply at the Sacramento State Fair. This is the second time I went to see Air Supply with my cousin (the first in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Las</span> Vegas) so I guess I can be called an "Air Head." <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">LOL</span>! After a fun night at the fair we went out on the (gay) town in Sacramento and had a lot of fun...I even entered an underwear contest that I lost....you win some and you lose some, but in the end it is all fun and games.<br /><a href="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG5650-722492.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG5650-722457.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG5660-785125.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG5660-784970.jpg" border="0" /></a>The next day turned out to be a bit crazy. I was suppose to take a simple nonstop flight on United from Sacramento to LA, but United cancelled my flight and their Philippine call center put me on a US Airways flight via Vegas, but my cousin's GPS sent us to Sacramento Executive Airport so by the time we got to the right airport US Airways would not check me in. I called United again and the Philippine call center blamed me for everything refusing to change my ticket! Ah! After a huge fight and demanding a supervisor the agent finally <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">rebooked</span> me out of Oakland in 3 hours, but we didn't even make it to Oakland in time so United put me on a Delta flight departing 2 hours later. I arrived in LA just in time to get to my graphics company to pick up my promo DVDs...whew!<br /><br />The next day I went to the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Rentboy</span> pool party and had a ton of fun with Chi Chi, Brandon Baker, Mark from the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Grabby's</span> and my buds from Specialty Publications. Between Tuesday and Thursday I flew up to Oregon to see my dad...not much happened except us argue over politics since the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">DNC</span> was on <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">tv</span>. Once again I missed a flight on United because I am not a premium member of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">United's</span> Mileage Plus Program so I had to be a normal traveler and deal with very slow and annoying <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">TSA</span> lines at one of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">United's</span> major hubs: LAX. Over the next few days I hung out with friends, went to Sunset Junction and filmed a scene in San Diego before finally returning to Miami Beach.</span>collinonealhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18019748517224961164noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102018755971802156.post-34094888522566473522008-08-15T12:25:00.000-07:002009-08-16T12:10:37.587-07:00Party Party Party....ugh!<a href="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG5488-740448.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG5488-740410.jpg" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">So after the ex and his cousin left the same evening <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Scotty</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Boardman</span>, my new Director of Sales, arrived!

We basically went right from the airport back up to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">Hallandale</span>. After a few meetings and drinks we wandered down to the lobby to eat at <a href="http://www.aiziahollywood.com/" target="_blank"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15" style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Azia</strong></span></a>, one of the <a href="http://www.diplomatresort.com/" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">Westin</span> Diplomat's</span></strong> </a>famous restaurants.

At 6'7" he towered over all of us, but went right to the tallest one of the group, Dakota Rivers, and told all of us that we were too good looking to be waiting. The manager of the restaurant came out and Dennis ordered him, politely of course, to give us a table, which he did, leaving our 1 1/2 hour wait behind. Later in the evening Dennis came back, sat down, and chatted with us for about an hour. He's a really cool guy!</span><a href="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG5527-748277.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG5527-748236.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG5535-748339.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG5535-748307.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG5551-763478.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/CIMG5551-763448.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/twist_July30_serbia_lr-708317.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.collinonealpornblog.com/uploaded_images/twist_July30_serbia_lr-708218.jpg" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">The following day we were all trapped at home since <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">massive</span> thunderstorms rolled through Miami. Oh, and Dakota and I went out a bit late, so we missed the morning sun and woke up just in time for thunderstorm time. After relaxing all day Dakota, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">Scotty</span>, Rich and I headed to Twist for our Serbia release party.

That evening we all went out to <a href="http://www.dreammia.com/monday.htm" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><strong>Chat <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_21">Noir</span></strong></span> </a>at <a href="http://www.dreammia.com/main.htm" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Dream </span></strong></a>in South Beach. Chat <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_22">Noir</span> is my favorite night out in Miami due to the great mix of people (both <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_23">straight</span> and gay) and the wonderful entertainment. Rich and I always have a lot of fun, but when we invite people like Eddie <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_24">Diaz</span>, Dakota Rivers and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_25">Scotty</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_26">Boardman</span>, well it turns into a really wild night out.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;">Now it is time to chill, get back to work and get back into my usual non-party <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_27">routine</span>!
