Hustler from Wal mart or blonde girls…who has the better strategy? Part 2

Gay Guy: Part 2

To tell you the truth I did not like the fact I had to pay for the shirt so HAAA HAAA HAAA while no one was looking I took another shirt from the table of shirts and put it with my other shirt. You might say I stole it but I say I was only borrowing some extra merchandise. I am sure this comes to a surprise to ‘The Producer’.

Speaking of ‘The Producer’ and ‘ED’ I remember there were pictures of them making them look like they were stars they looked like the big executives and I wanted to get to know them I knew beyond the filmed interviews I had to get them to notice me.

Well it already did me well that Amy from G105 knew me because I had just been on the ShowGram only like 2 weeks before and had let her know I was going to be there. At first she was supposed to host of the TV show so I looked forward to working with her. She even did her thing for the show where she said "now here come some of the interviewers now" while I walked behind her. So there I was already getting another 15 min of fame, and if you know anything about me and media I have had over many and many hours of fame in my life. Being in front of a crowd or media or cameras was second nature to me. But, look at the show you will see me already in the show from the first episode.

So I was on to in front of the cam I was asked a series of questions (the lighting broke so my interview I assume was unusable) they asked things on what I would do if given the chance to start my own business and other things. I told my hopes and dreams and other things. Well then after that I made sure ‘The Producer’ knew who I was and ‘ED’ too and I left there to try to sell the most tee-shirts I could.

So two sacrifices were to come I had to pay 10 bucks my last 10 bucks for the shirt, and I was going to have to be up all day no sleep to accomplish my goal.

Now for the dirt, I remember a certain person who was in the final 16 who later dropped out, she and her sister came there and decided to go out as a team to sell shirts, they decided to do It on the corner and go to the fire stations. Honestly my first impression was two slutty blonde girls who will probably make a fool of themselves. In fact turns out later I found out they got a ticket for peddling. I could only smile at that when I heard it. boy am I evil....

Well first thing I did was go to flex and tell my friend Brigner the manager of Flex and the director and creator of trash the movie about what I had gotten myself into. well he decided to support me and that it would be good publicity for the movie so he bought 10 tee-shirts right off the bat, and gave me some good leads, next I hit Wal-Mart where I sold about 10 more shirts, and then I went to some of my friends and they bought shirts, by the end of the day I had sold 25 shirts. I arrived at Jillian's that night excited and turned in my money at 11pm and you know what I had even marked up some of the shirts to get the 10 dollars back I spent for my shirt and some gas money. Talk about being a entrepreneur. We were then given the tee-shirts for us to deliver to the ones who had bought them. It was a good idea I had gotten everyone's contact info, I then went to work late and the next day delivered the shirts.

Turns out I did not have the most shirts sold, someone was to have rumored bought 120 shirts I just thought that was crazy. The one that turned out have been the winner was one of the final 16 and to this day I still do not feel like it was a fair deal since she did not really sell them, she just bought them first and decided to give them or "sell" them to her relatives. Now remember coming from someone who spent his last 10 bucks to buy a shirt having someone just by their way to a win just pissed me off mainly because I was too poor to do it.

All in all the interview was good the day was fun, and little did I know that it was only the first step in the journey that was to come..

Hey Joel,

I know this is you. I met you at Legends a while back. I recognized your picture at www.realseriousbusiness.com. You didn't tell me you were a celebrity. I should have known! Are you single or looking for love?

Hey James Rivers,

No offense but mistaken identity! Joel is taken and he damned sure never worked at Wal-mart!

Well excuse me MR. HINES.
That's why I asked was he single. I don't know about Wal-Mart but I did meet his FINE ass at Legends. He was a perfect gentleman though. Doesn't sound like he keeps the same company. Next time I see him I'm going to let him know something.

Hey Joel

Hey gay guy,

I have no problem with your sexual preference but I do feel if you stole something you should not have been a finalist. Do you have guilt that someone with more integrity didn't get on because of your actions?

You could have cost someone an opportunity of a lifetime!

I cost no one anything, my taking one shirt cost no one to get on the show, just because I had a extra shirt to sell did not make me move on in the competition. Guess what I took the shirt, but you know what I sold the shirt and gave the money back. So I "borrowed" it :)~ As for getting on as a finalist I did that by networking my friend, I know people and I got what I needed done. I got my sponsors, I got my 1,000$, I did my time and I put in my effort. So taking one shirt did not affect NO one. thanks
