Ah, 2004. I remember like it was yesterday. What a joyous year.
This year has been good to me. I'm not certain what it is, but I feel more of a part of this whole porn thing now. Though I am not where I want to be yet, I feel like I'm finally on the right track. Until recently, I've felt like I'm swimming agaisnt the current in a toilet where someone desperately needs to shake the handle. As far as my personal life goes, it has been fairly smooth, though friend and neighbor lost his nephew, Nathan Brown, to an RPG in the back of an open truck in Samarra on Easter day. Meeting his parents and attending his funeral absolutely destroyed me emotionally for a several days. I'm just glad that his mother is a straight-talking no-bullshit anti-Bush kind of mom. (She, by the way, put up a huge stink just recently about Rumsfeld not personally signing his letters to grieving soldiers' parents. Rumsfeld has now vowed to sign each one.)

I want to live. I want to experience the universe, and I want to eat pie.

'4 years have always been a little shaky for me, and this one was no exception. The upside is those '4 years always seem to lay the foundation for really good '5 years, so I'm counting on 2005 to be awesome.
Onward through the fog! |

No offence Apu, but when they were handing out religions you must have been out taking a whizz

2004 sucked in so many ways that it's not even worth bitching about it all here on the board - lol
So I have FAITH that 2005 will rock - well, and insider info that I can't quite share yet here in public that confirms that faith. I am SO looking to the New Year - it's gonna be excellent! Looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones in Vegas in a couple weeks. Here's to success and excellence for us all in the New Year!!! |

With $10,000, we'd be millionaires! We could buy all kinds of useful things like ... love!

2004 was a huge transitional year for me in terms of my business. I shifted my focus from the tried & true methods that had been working for 3 years to starting up a gazillion new projects, none of which are really "finished". I won't see the results & know if anything I did this year really paid off until 2005, but an interesting year nontheless with lots of analysis of what I truly want to do with my work day.
No major changes in my personal life, which falls under the "no news is good news!" category. |

If nothing else I will remember 2004 as the year I found myself up to my ears in trannies and the men who worship them.
Had one in my office today, one in my driveway, one in my backyard, and a guy named Alex driving them all around who only dates trannies and told me that I was pretty sexy for a fish. The vid I was doing for them |

I will support your faith with some optimism about 2005 though! After reading your post I have this nagging feeling that I really should get my ass to Vegas this time... to make sure the new starts on a high note iif nothing else. Can-Spam happened this year... and was talked about a lot... and Acacia fizzled(?)... Between the patent schemes, VISA and Ashcroft we have actually ridden it out through a few industry boogie men that were "going to ruin us all".. and more than a few people seem to have had record years income wise too. Still..... roll-on 05.. it cant start soon enough for me! |

Started out this time last year, so no previous years (in this biz) to compare with, but:
Done well enough to go full time about 6 months ago, after setting a goal to go full time in Jan 05 Moved from a complete shit hole and equally shit landlord to a nice new home with a garden Met a lot of great people here & at ANS Finally found a job I actually LIKED (webmstering of course) Got blacklisted from some big LLs for something I still haven't got to the bottom of, and from time to time find myself still trying to work out how I had pages going 302 Got off the blacklist Made some fantastic contacts with some paysite owners Finally caught Santa last night! |

It's been a hell of a year... and it ain't over yet!
I just about finished school (one more class, not a big deal). At my age, I am surprised I even GO to school, let alone get a certificate for anything. I have learned more and more of the craft of video making, editing, and got some good work as a Director of Photography for a producer who has some really kewl stuff going on (and a bunch of girls in latex... but that is another story!). Took my first few customers for video editing, some worked out, some, well, were less that perfect. I am still developing style and mad skillz, so we will see how that turns out, i guess. 2004 was also the year that I shed some domains and gained some pounds. The shedding domains was to get rid of a really big millstone around me neck left by an ex partner. I went from 2000 domains or so down to a much more svelt 750 or so. The are all managed in one place now, and I know where they are going. Seriously getting my muse back after getting fucked over in 2003, and turning it into something good. 2004 wasn't the greatest year, but damn, I like the way the road is going now. Many personal ups and downs. Right now on "up", which is a good thing. 20lbs I didn't need. Being able to be a (small) part of a great board here. It has been amazing to see this place grow, the quality of the people around is great, and the business attitude is wonderful. I much prefer to be here than in a room full of kids or a retirement home. 2005 is coming. Make some money everyone, and don't forget to take the time to enjoy it. Alex |
