This is my motto in life. ---Life is here, life is now. Life is soooo short... and sex is just too delicious! Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Champagne and Strawberries in one hand, Diet Coke and Godiva Chocolate in the other, a personal bottle of Eros, A BOX OF TROJAN MAGNUMS, and a good Cuban cigar in the your pockets (ALL partially used), a wallet ALMOST empty of currency but noticeably used from the rainbow colors of THE SEVERAL bills THAT REMAIN from a multitude of countries and cards charged to the max from the joys of life, body thoroughly used up, OLD AS TIME ITSELF, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO - what a ride!---

>When I am having trouble sleeping usually picking up a book >works for me. A couple pages or paragraphs and I'm out like a >light. > >Hugs, >Greg It all depends on the book Greg. I find that I fall asleep easy to a good romance novel but can't sleep when I read Stephen King. When the new Harry Potter comes out, I don't sleep until I have finished the book. One of my favorite books of all time was 100 Years of Solitude. I loved the book but was so confused at times that I did fall asleep and not be able to remember where I was the next day. After having read the book at least 15 times over the years, the more I read it the more I understand and the less likely I am able to falll asleep. Put a good John Grisham book in my hands and say Nighty Night. What book are you reading now Greg?

>Those of you who grew up in the 80's have surely heard of >Google. ;-) hehe. Nope, never heard of google. Is that the same company as Alexa?

A friendship can easily be obtained with the right escort and client. It is not an easy thing to accomplish, as money is the basis for the start of the friendship. Many times one party or the other will not be able to move beyond this. When I owned an escort agency years ago, I often had clients fall in love with the boys. I told the client this was not a wise decision and they wanted to proceed anyway. I have numerous experiences where the two got together and lived for years as boyfriends. Most of the time, it ended up in complete failure. Some of the time, on the VERY rare instances, it worked. Friendships are different than love affairs. I have many escorts that I am friends with that I met and had sex with and now we are only good friends. I also learned that in order for this to happen, the client must be OK with the fact that their friend is an escort and that business normally takes priority. If both parties can get beyond this, they will be ok. If not, they will have major difficulty. One of my best friends ever was an escort that I hired for a 3 way with my ex lover. We fell for the boy and wanted him to be our live-in 3rd. This idea lasted for a few months until we realized that we were much better off as just friends. We then moved the relationship to that of friends only and that was the best thing that could have happened for us. I still found the boy very attractive and I loved looking at him, as he was one of the most beautiful creatures I have ever seen. I also loved his bitchy nature and the occasional temper tantrum. However, we both respected each other enough to let the other move on in life and love. The friendship lasted for several years and there was no one I knew from my past life that I trusted more than him. Most of my friends now consist of people who are OK with the world of escorting. I have met many escorts that I keep in regular touch with. Many I met just fall by the wayside as they progress in life and so do I. I also know that when I look back on it, the good friends I made that I met though escorting would still be there for me today if I needed them. Escorts are some of the most intelligent guys that we have in society. They also know how to get someone to fall in love with them easily. That makes their job very easy. If you want a true friendship with an escort, make sure you move away from money at the key to the fri8endship. I am not saying don’t treat the guy to dinner and a movie. I am saying, separate the 2 as clearly as possible in your mind and in a way that they understand what you want. If they keep pursuing the friendship, you are good to go. This is just my opinion and I know many will have other thoughts on this.

>(Anyone remember the Smothers Brothers show?) OK Deej, for us that grew up in the 80's, please elighten us. Who is the Smothers Brothers? Are they related to the Blues Brothers?

>> And, the touch of my new >>boyfriend and the smell of his freshly showered body both >>excites and relaxes me. > >Sleep Oz, sleep. He was talking about sleep }( HaHa. Sorry Barry. I didn't mean to get off subject. How is this? the touch of freshly showered body (smooth as silk and a full six-pack) both excites and relaxes me and puts me in a daze which ends in a peaceful sleep. See, I worked it in.

My suggestion is to get the extension. It is not a big deal to do and may save you problems in the future.

LOL. No, I tend to pick the straight boys who don't do any of it. Something about that that turns me on. And, how did you know my hole was clogged? Have you been peeping again?

Scott, Thanks for the article. It is totally disgusting and repulsive to me that this happened. I have never once had any problems traveling with gay companions. I find the opposite to be true. I find that the people attendants often take better care of us when they know we are gay. I mostly use NWA and Delta but have elite status with all 3. Thank you for bringing the article to our attention. I have already sent a letter to AA. Oz

I was out a few times today and saw no sign of military presence. I am in Jomptien and did not go downtown Pattaya. I will venture out later and give you a full report.

I enjoy a night in Boyztown. Lucky 7 use to be my favorite bar in the area. I still enjoy it occasionally. However, I have found that Funny Boys and Dynamite are 2 amazing places that feel comfortable at and always find a sexy boy to spend time with. I think I off more boys from BoyzBoyzBoyz than other bars in the area but I think it is because I have a few regulars there that I find hot and a great change of pace for me. I have one hot muscle stud that I have been seeing there for about 2 years. He is about 27 and built like a stone statue. Dynamite has the best mamasan in all of Pattaya. She has never led me astray and she consistently finds great guys for me. Gentlemen

This bar in Pattaya is one of the best-run bars I have seen. I have never been into the bar when I wasn't greeting with a hundred smiles. The boys there are nice and sweet. The waiters are friendly and the mamasans are helpful and knowledgeable. I find that this bar really does raise the bar when it comes to atmosphere. They have TV's on both sides of the bar with music video on part of them and a video stream of the boys dancing on the others. The drinks are reasonably prices and nice amount of liquor. It is a small bar but very tastefully done. Jimm Jimmy James, Corner Bar, Crazy Dragon, Kaos and the new Clubber bars are truly taking Sunee Plaza out of a darker area to a more hip, stylish arena.

I have had several problems with dishwashers, electricity and etc. I find that getting anything done in Pattaya is a total pain in the ass. I can't seem to get anyone to show up and fix problems. I want to hire a DoItAll man who can take care of anything I have a problem with. Anyone know of a service like this in Pattaya?

People from USA are allowed to enter Thailand without a Visa for 30 days. If you stay longer, you need to either go to the Immigration Office and request an extension or go to another country to get another 30 days. You are only allowed to do this for 90 days now. Previously, you were able to do it indefinitely. If you stay is less than 90 days, you have no problem. However, you will not be able to return to Thailand for another 90 days without going to a Thai Embassy or Consulate and pay for a Visa stamp. That is often a 60 days stamp. The new law is really only aimed at keeping people from living and working here without the proper documentation. This does not affect me, as I don't stay here on Tourist Visa for more than 30 days. It does not affect anyone over 50 who want to live here as they can easily get a retirement visa. It does not affect business owners as they can apply for a work permit. It does not affect those have money as they can buy a special Thai Elite Card. It does effect those that are under 50 and want to live here year round. www.thaivisa.com and the forums there are the best source for visa info. I hope this helps. And, yes, you do need to come here in Dec.

Currently the situation in Thailand is up in the air. All TV programming has been taken offline with the exception of the Thai stations, which are playing a constant loop of photos and music in tribute to the King. Today has been called a national holiday and all banks and government offices are closed. Tanks are in the streets in Bangkok and traffic is closely monitored. There have been rumors of this coup for weeks. It came as no shock to anyone that lives in Thailand. The Thai people I have spoken to are happy about this and not sad. I do not think many realize the impact it may have. Recently, the government issued new orders for tourists arriving on a Visa On Demand. They have limited those to 90 days within any 180 days. This means the boarder runs for someone to live here permanently are now finished. However, who knows what will happen with this policy now. The military has been called to action and the people are being told this will not last long. The US government advices people not to visit here till things settle down. They do not recommend that visitors that are currently in Thailand leave. This may change. People currently have access to the Internet. As all TV and Satellite are offline, I am not sure how long Internet will last. As I can't sit in front of CNN today, I am off to the beach. Hey, what else can I do?

The bitter back and forth between myself and others on Daddy’s site is finished. It has been a very long period of time since Hooboy died and it is time to move on. It is not only unproductive to get into these little verbal spars with members on the other site but it is destructive for the integrity of this site. I do not apologize for anything I have said. I do however apologize for loosing focus. The focus should have been on moving the site forward instead of keeping it on a path which only history will be able to describe. Unfortunately, those who are the most vocal instead of those who have intelligence on the true story often shape history. If you scream loud enough and long enough, people start to believe. I kept quite too long in the beginning. I have now said my peace. I am now moving toward the future and away from the past. One of the things I hated about Hoo’s message center was all the nutty drama queens who only bitched and moaned about everything possible. I hope I have not become one of them. If so, I will have to get out and have a few wild nights to shake my system back into shape. Hooboy had a site. He died. The site died. We are here to carry on with his vision. Best of luck to Rock/Daddy/Deej in their future. Oz

PS. My favorite Rockhard quote ever is: "Smarter, more professional businessmen would have kept their mouth shut." LOL Thanks Rock. The advice from a very successful businessman like yourself is much appreciated.

>There must be a few guys here who have like flexibility in >their hours. If so how do you sleep at nights? I can't seem to >do it anymore. I find a bowl of cereal with milk puts me to sleep. Also, a Tylonol PM works like a magic wand. And, the touch of my new boyfriend and the smell of his freshly showered body both excites and relaxes me.

My friend is worried about the new regulations. He wants to open a bar in Thailand and is proceeding with that. I have suggested he consider a different business but he insists this is what he wants. He said the legal paper to set up a company and to get a work permit is 85,000 bath. Is this about right? I have no idea myself and have not really researched this at all. Thanks.,

Marc, You are a very wise man. You see the bigger picture in most things. As you know, I wanted to work with TY on this site because he has all the characteristics you described above. Unfortunately, I lean more toward the Hooboy way. I love my friends and want them to succeed. I would most likely do the same that Daddy has done. However, I have a voice in my ear from TY that prohibits any conflicts from arising. It really is so easy to be partial. I am glad that TY is on board and I do not deal with any of the Reviews or any of the advertising. That is all his prevue. My job is easy, I approve new photos and new escorts based on the parameters TY gave me. We do not have advertisers yet. Can we get them? Easy. I knew a few website owners who I am sure would jump at the chance for a special deal. However, we have not strayed from our posted rates or policy.

Oliver, Like you, there are many sites that I use to find what I want. Currently, I find this site, gaydar.co.uk, gayromeo.com and men4rentnow.com the most useful. I have found guys from all of those sites that I enjoy and have had good experiences with. When I was in NYC, I found Rentboy always had the freshest faces and used them many times. When I was in Brazil, I was lucky enough to find some boys who knew all the Brazilian sites and we played with several boys we met online down there. I don’t think anyone should limit his choices to only one site. I don’t think that you should have to choose between this site and Daddy’s new site. The Hooboy site that I grew to love disappeared and we decided to keep it going. Daddy did the same thing. Both sites want to pick up where Hoo left off. Neither site was blessed with any content, assistance or help from the estate. They refused anyone permission to the domain name, old reviews and message board. They have the right to do this and they have exercised that right. I have wished Daddy and Deej the best in their joint venture. I do hope that it succeeds. I believe that the success of that site will only increase the success of this site and Vice Versa. We all share a common background. That is the Hooboy site. Both sites have valuable contributors on them. Both sites will work to promote the world of escorting and this only benefits escorts and clients. I am glad you are here Oliver and I hope you actively participate. We do appreciate you and all others who are here. We pledge not to take advantage of the trust you have given to us and to work hard to create a site that all can be proud of and that those that really knew Hooboy can say, “he would be proud.”

What a story. Crazy. I don't know how you kept your cool. I have had a few instances there I was cheated in establishments. It is never a good feeling. I hate it most when in gay places as I often go there to support them when times are tough. I had a bar try to overcharge me by one or two drinks everytime I went in. I had then take the extra drinks off the bin and refused to pay. After 3 times of this, I have not been back to that bar in Boyztown in over 8 months. It was my favorite stop at the end of the night to watch the show but not now. I have never had someone hold my passport. That would be nerve wrenching.

I just read the posting here about DaddysReviews. I also read the message center over there. All I will say is that I much prefer someone rational like Rico over Rockhard any day of the week. With his last post, Rock really does tell a great deal about himself in the post and it is really nice to see an old friend back in true form. For someone who only joined the site after Hoo’s death, he sure knows a lot about the site and the personalities there beforehand. Am I the only one that thinks it is odd that he reappeared just as Daddy and Deej got the site together? I actually was not going to comment on the site other than to say that I wish them all well. However, when I read that they were actually going to use the reviews predating Hoo’s death, I decided against it. I assume this would only happen if they knew the estate would not get into a very costly battle with the estate property. I know it is not that they have permission from the estate, so I hope that they do not use that material. Like Daddy, I too have all those reviews and if it is public information for others outside the estate to use then perhaps there is a place for the archives here as well. Lastly, Rockhard keeps bringing up that I made public information about the estate. What a joke this is. If you honestly thought you would steal the site and not get called out on it, you were wrong. If things had ever been on the up and up, I would have kept my mouth shut. However, they were not. I refused to keep quiet and not share information about people plundering my friends intellectual property. I refused then. I do so now. I will never keep silent about it. Rock is just lucky I did not share all I know about the situation and the BS behind the scenes. The only things I ever spoke about publicly needed to be said. Many things I know that happened with the estate and Daddy I did not reveal. I will only say that even I (who many see as evil incarnate) was disgusted by the madness of the grave robbers.

Wow. What a great experience. The owner really went all out and was very attentative to EVERY detail. Excellent place. Great food. Wonderful companions.
