Genesis

I have been inspired. I just finished reading this blog and it prompted me to start writing things down. I found that link at the hippie commune and I posted as such:

Kind of like in True Porn Clerk Stories.

That was the best online reading I've done in months. I too was a porn clerk but we didn't rent any of that "actual movie" crap, just hardcore porn and we sold the accessories. It was one of the most interesting times in my life. I learned a lot about people and the world while working there. Things I learned that the narrator didn't cover:
1. "The mob" is a real thing and very well alive all around our great nation.
2. People will give up drugs to watch porn, as in drugs for payment. I never understood this.
3. People will watch porn as a group and ghastly things happen in there (we had 2 theatres at one of the stores and 1 theatre at the other)
4. The token areas are not really about the 1 minute per 25 cent token booths, it's about the gay men that hang about preying on whatever wanders in.
5. There is no need for a customer to be ashamed at looking at whatever is in the store whether it is straight or gay. The clerk has seen it all and couldn't care less about your sexual curiosities.

I deeply regret never keeping track of my day to day adventures. As I age my memory is slipping and I know I'll never get those memories back. I wrote a blog program which as far as I know is still functional but with less and less time to maintain any programs I decided to use this off the shelf version and deal with it.
