I’m bored with the blog. After three years and ~1,175 posts, I feel like I’m rehashing the same shit over and over again, and I don’t want to do that thing where I would grab a news article and give my opinion about it. So I may blog a little bit less and try other things.

Also…

1. I think I want to go back to bartending part-time. I’m looking for a room to rent somewhere around Dupont / Adams Morgan / Columbia Heights. If you know anything in the $550-650/month range then please let me know. I don’t care if it’s a closet. The suburbs are sucking the life out of me.

2. I’m ready to start writing a book about my trip to South America. Maybe it will be something short and in the form of an e-book, but I definitely want to share what really happened down there (i.e. which flags I accumulated). And I don’t want to take a year to do it, like I did with Bang. Speaking of Bang I came up with a genius slogan: More Lays In 60 Days. It rhymes.

3. I bought the Flip Ultra video camcorder. I’m going to play around it and see if I can do anything interesting with video besides amateur porn.

4. I’m going to move some of my straight-up “how to get laid” advice off the blog into my game newsletter, which I plan on sending more than once a month. Putting things I still use on a web page that is one Google click away is making my life more complicated and awkward than it needs to be.

Next month I’m off to Las Vegas for a week with midget porn lover Virgle Kent (below). Sure it’s a cliche 20-something American vacation, but I have to see for myself what the fuss is about.

Here is the first post-South America Roosh photo. The anal beads I got from Brazil is making a strong impact to my style.

I noticed in the past two months I’ve been getting much less email than usual. Turns out that Yahoo is semi-blocking emails that originate from my host. I switched to using my Gmail account.

If you sent me in an email in the past two months and I didn’t reply, it’s because I didn’t get it. Try resending.

Postscript: I took away the post ratings thing at the bottom of posts. It was mostly useless.

1. I want to thank my newest sponsor, The Seduction Chronicles. You’ll probably like posts such as Top 20 Date Idea “Templates” for Men, Favorite Cocky & Funny Lines, and Interview With Neil Strauss.

2. The radio show on Friday was fun. Listen to the podcast on The Seduction Bible.

3. I’m almost done with my next big project. I should be done with it in about two weeks.

4. On a sadder note, Just Going With It is finished. Some local new-to-me blogs I’ve been reading lately are Bridal Bird, DC Bar Wench, Listen To Leon, DC Hero, and I never know when to shut up

Postscript: Post ratings are back.

I’d like to thank my first sponsor, The Seduction Bible, a game improvement site. My favorites are the stories, like Another Horribly Bad Hookup Story and The Buenos Aires “Hooker Juice” Incident.

More information on sponsorships can be found here.

Postscript: I changed things around as you can see. I had to take down the post ratings because it was messing up the layout. I’m working on the fix.

I’m bringing back anonymous comments somewhat. If you are already registered you can continue logging in.

A couple of my friends that I know well in real life stopped commenting because of registration. It may be too restrictive and cumbersome. But it sure did keep out the haters!

Maybe I miss the haters.

I didn’t forget about September. This one is a discussion about girls who flake. It will be sent this weekend.

I thought that I’d be able to easily continue writing about game/guy/girl topics while traveling, but my writing is a product of my thoughts and those topics are simply not on my mind much. My sex drive has dropped by unacceptable levels.

Floating Islands of Lake Titicaca

This weekend I’m sending out my version of the cube game, which you may have first read about in The Game. It’s very hard to learn but girls like it because it’s similar in concept to their horoscopes and Cosmo polls. Sign-up on the right. Grab a drink before you open this one because it’s long.

Right now I’m taking it very easy in Old Town Quito, just observing the people, doing the tourist thing, and reading / studying over non-bitter coffee. I’ll start writing about the trip after I leave Quito next week. I still would like to stick to the usual topics here, hopefully two updates a week.

The comments yesterday inspired me to make a FAQ about the book. It includes information about delivery, signed copies, and how much I get per sale.

This weekend I’m sending out newsletter no. 7 about what to do when a girl tries to cancel a date on you. The newsletter is a good bet if you on the fence about buying the book since it discusses similar topics with a similar writing style. Sign-up on the right.

Let me know if you don’t get anything by Monday, or if you want to check out the newsletter archive. I’m sending it with a new service that should fix the delivery problems.

After nearly 9 months of work, my book is completely finished. It will be ready for you on Tuesday.

I declare the nondescript cover design a success. During the final read in Starbucks over the course of three days, not a single person gave it a double take, unlike when I read this book.

Joseph Epstein:

Before I had first done so, writing a book seemed a fine, even grand thing. And so it still seems — except, truth to tell, it is a lot better to have written a book than to actually be writing one. Without attempting to overdo the drama of the difficulty of writing, to be in the middle of composing a book is almost always to feel oneself in a state of confusion, doubt and mental imprisonment, with an accompanying intense wish that one worked instead at bricklaying.

The first thing I did when I finished the book was eat a bowl of ice cream. The second thing I did was buy an air ticket to Quito, Ecuador. I leave August 7.

This weekend I’m sending out a newsletter about taking advantage of approach opportunities, and when you should beat yourself up for not doing anything. Sign-up in top right, or go here.

Some of the free email services act weird with the mailings, so I recommend you add roosh@rooshv.com to your address book. If you missed any of the previous newsletters, or come Monday you don’t get this one, just send me an email.
