Gettin' RAW #8: The Story of a Door to Door Magazine Salesman (Part 6)

January 14, 2011
Ok, so last time I had just realized that the guy who was in charge of our stuff in Virginia Beach had been the same mag agent who had come to my apartment in Springfield, MO months earlier and attempted to smoke weed and drink beer with me.  I'll probably do another wrestling related column next week, but that is then and this is now so enjoy.

**************************************

Back to the night of the board game I get back to my room and there's not much going on as 3 of the 4 of us (me, Mikey, and Whitey) were in Jason's room and the other one of us was there playing 360 because he didn't smoke.  We bullshit for a little while and pass out and as the next morning begins all I can wonder is why the fuck I stayed up again so late last night when  I had barely gotten any sleep the night before.

So I wake up and the only thing I'm thinking about is shaving the shit out of my face.  I steal one of the other guys' razors and go old school.  It's a little weird because these past couple of days are the first time that I have seen myself without a goatee since high school.  I do the best I can and as I'm coming out Whitey asks me if I shaved and I tell him I have to the best of my ability.

"Looks a lot better than yesterday." he replies.  Sweet.  Whether he was just saying that or not I don't know but sweet.  Because I really didn't want to have my face cut up.

So we go to coffee again and as the days go by I start to learn...water is free, so if I don't get just a water I get a water and a really cheap donut (which still by the poverty standards that I live by isn't cheap at all).  I bullshit with the friends I am making and we go back, have our team meeting, and start all over again.  Knocking on doors.  Being invited into stranger's homes.  Having old ladies yell at us through their doors that they don't know who "Matt (Whitey) and Eric" are.

Over the course of the time I have been there I've learned that occasionally you will knock on someone's door and get laid.  Jason informed me that 80% of all women have a fantasy of having sex with someone who knocks on their door.  Pizza delivery guys.  UPS guys.  Mormons?  I didn't really know but it sounded appealing.  Especially since at the time I didn't have a girlfriend and at the time all the female mag agents were taken...or completely gross.

Whitey has even told me of some of his sexual escapades and it occurred to me that if a crackhead looking Albino with fucked up teeth could get laid then surely a fat kid with an afro could.  Later that day Whitey and I knock on a door and an ebony princess answers in a red nightie where you could see some absolutely gorgeous breasts.  She pulled up her top a bit as we gave her our spiel and she let us in.

She looks through or little brochure of magazines and we are all sitting around discussing things and I am just trying my hardest to be respectful because let's face it, even if I wasn't respectful...I've got no game.  So she ends up hooking us up and buying some magazines and we leave with a job well done.  As we leave her apartment Whitey looks over to me.

"You know why we got that sale?" he asks.

"Why's that?"

"Because she was dressed like that, and we didn't stare at her or come off as creepy.  We just kept it about the magazines and she respected that."

I nodded and we headed on our way to another set of doors to knock on as I think to myself, "You know, Whitey's right.  We acted like decent people and not huge perverts and we got a sale out of it.  But where the fuck are the sluts?"

*************************************

That's it for now.  Hope you're enjoying because this takes me back everytime I post a new entry.  Until next time...Woo.  Woo.  Woo.  You know it.  Catch you guys on the flip flop.  Later.

So...it's been a while, huh?  Yeah, sometimes life does that to you.  But we're back.  Full steam ahead.  Anyway, last time I had just been tricked into believing I was going to get my ass beaten.  It was scary.  And now, the rest of the story (well another part of it anyway)...

We get back to the hotel and have our nightly meeting where I actually fill out some paperwork...ya know, like it's a real job or something.  I fill everything out and notice that you are stuck there for at least 60 da...

Gettin' RAW #6: The Story of a Door to Door Magazine Salesman (Part 4)

September 17, 2010
Hello all, and welcome back.  I'm EBar...as if you thought it would be someone else.  Ok, so sorry for no RAW Review this week.  Honestly I'm just to lazy, ok?  But I do have more of the ongoing saga of my door to door salesman antics...because I already wrote it a long time ago.  Last time I had just been threatened for not shaving properly.  And awaaaay we go!

So we have like 3 vans total and I of course end up with Whitey and some others, probably totalling around 8 or so in this van.  And ...

The Exposed Turnbuckle: Total Nonstop Anger (Part Deux)

September 15, 2010
Author: Paul Giliberto

When TNA moved to Monday Night, everyone knew (including TNA employees) that TNA was not going to win in the ratings. Anyone who expected that is beyond delusional. However, the move was intended to be a litmus test; could TNA’s more adult-themed material convert a few jaded WWE fans? The answer was no.

The wrestling world was not changed forever, not even for a little bit. Impact would soon move back to Thursdays (where it should be) and any hopes for a second Monday N...

Welcome back everyone to GR.  I am your host EBar.  Last time I left you hanging with the story of my first day and the antics that ensued.  Well, my day didn't end there, and we're still just at the tip of the iceberg for this adventure.  Sorry for the delay of getting this edition up.  Future chapters will come much faster, so sit back and enjoy...

The gang gets "home" and I start to meet people.  I go to the nightly meetings they have for specific "teams" that this large group of people is ...

Gettin' RAW #4: A True "RAW Rebound"

September 7, 2010
Hello again everyone and welcome to another edition of Gettin' RAW.  I'm definitely second guessing that name for the column but I'm already in with several numbers now so I guess it's best just to stick with it.  So I hope you've all been enjoying my story of being a door to door magazine guy, but for this edition we are going back to wrestling.  It's time to get RAW, y'all.  God that was horrible.

Ok, so I honestly think that RAW started off very well this week.  The Nexus came out touting t...

The Exposed Turnbuckle: Total Nonstop Anger (Part 1)

September 5, 2010
Written By: Paul Giliberto

I’m going to take you back to a time that all long-time wrestling fans will remember, the end of wrestling’s second Golden Age. What I’m talking about is the stretch of time when ECW folded, WCW was sold, and the almighty WWE reigned triumphant. After WCW was sold to Vinny Mac, there was a large void in the wrestling world. While I am an admitted WWE lover, I appreciate having an alternative program for my wrestling needs. There was a stretch of time when there...

Hey, it's me again.  Your ever so gracious host EBar.  I'm back with Part 2 of the story about sellin' some magazines.  When we last left our hero (me), I had just arrived in Virginia Beach and was headed for the hotel.  And now more of the story, already in progress...

We get to the hotel and get to the room I'm going to be staying in.  This is still really early in the morning (well, for me at least), and it seems that everyone is already up.  As I'm hardly in the room setting my things down...

Gettin' RAW #2: The Story of a Door to Door Magazine Salesman (Part 1)

September 2, 2010
Ok, so like I said in my first column...I'm not always going to be talking about sports or wrestling in my column.  This is technically a "blog" after all.  This is just about my life and might interest a few people because of the weird shit that goes on in the life of becoming something like a door to door magazine salesman.  The story is quite long so I've broken it up into parts and...well, here's part one.  Enjoy.


It started one early afternoon, much like any other day of being homeless, w...

The Exposed Turnbuckle - So It Begins...

The Exposed Turnbuckle
Author: Paul Giliberto

Welcome to the debut of The Exposed Turnbuckle. Sorry I couldn’t hype my editorial debut by airing some sweet vignettes but even the WWE can’t afford to pay for Schott Hall’s rehab by themselves.

Now before I go any further, I want to explain a few things. First, I’m a wrestling fan. That means I enjoy watching wrestling, regardless of the brand. Second, I do not claim to be some sort of genius that can fix everything. I have my opinions and ...
