So I thought I'd try something new. I see this Digg function around alot and I've started Digging a few articles here and there. It seems like a good way to get a little more exposure.
So at the bottom of every post (under the Leave a Comment and Labels links) there's a little blue and white Digg This Story button. Feel free to click on the button and submit which ever story is your favorite. It'll help to expose the story to other readers that have the same taste. You might have to register with Digg to do this.
Registering with the site is fairly easy. Once you do, they'll show you to other sites and articles that you might enjoy as well.
Give it a shot, ya never know, you might like it.
"Can I see your ID?"
This is just some ramblings from a guy that works a couple doors. I'm nothing close to being a total bad ass or an asshole. If I am, it's because the job calls for it.

Adsense or nosense...
Every once in a while I take a look at the ads that Google puts on my page. I opted for the ads because I figure if people actually use them and I can make a few bucks here and there it's not a bad thing. After 6 months I've made a penny. So they're not really worth it to me. They do offer a bit of eyebrow raising and thought occasionally.
They change fairly often since they're supposed to go through the posts and find prevalent topics to offer search options for. Yet, I don't think they're working very well. Or they're working in the exact opposite way.
For instance, here are the ads that I see now as I write this.
Ads that make no sense: Friend Poems, Quotes, Love Letter Poems, Romance Poems, Poems about Women, The Power of Nice, Bring Back Lost Love, Romantic Love
Ads that make sense: Deal w/ Difficult People, Workplace Issues
So I guess 2 out of 15 isn't too bad....
I've been looking at a few different sites that offer payments for postings and other types of advertisement options to make a little cash. I figure if people only have to click on something and it offers something they want to look at and it doesn't bother their pc, then what's to lose? We both win.
So in a few days I'll more than likely have some new eye candy on the side of the page. Maybe I'll actually make enough for a cup of coffee before work. Who knows.. maybe even a steak dinner. Ok, I'm getting a little far ahead of myself there.
I wonder if any newspapers would be interested in a doorman's opinion column? It might go well in a Nightlife section. Ha ha!! Yea.. I don't think the world really wants to know what doormen and club security personnel think of them. If they did there'd be a lot more blogs and columns out there about us. Then again, the world thinks we're all muscle bound idiots.
More to come.

Odd Laws...
So I'm really kind of bored right now and can't think of anything to write about. The weekend went by and nothing really happened. There were some more fake i.d.'s and some really drunk frat boys that I wouldn't let in. Even with all that it was just like a regular weekend except it was 3 days long for me instead of two.
So every once in a while I have some sites that I check out when I'm really bored and looking for new things to talk about. This is one that I find pretty funny because you can get a look back at how stupid some of the states were back in the day. Dumblaws.com is a great place to check out laws that are in your state and are ridiculous. They even have an international section for all the other areas of the world.
Here's some of them off of their site.
The really strange part is some of these are still in effect. I mean can you really take down a law after it's been put up? Just goes to show that the cops could bust you for just about anything if they really wanted. Just depends on how well they know their laws.
And any ladies in Texas should really take a look at this one.
I'm just putting it out there so you know. I find it funny as well.

- Wisconsin - "While all cheese making requires a license, Limburger cheese making requires a master cheese maker's license."
- Wisconsin - "The state definition of rape stated that it was a man having sex with a woman he knows not to be his wife."
- Wisconsin - "As people used to smuggle it in from Illinois, all yellow butter substitute is banned."
- Wisconsin - "Livestock have the right-of-way on public roads."
- Wisconsin - "The government may not prohibit manual flushed urinals."
- Indiana - "If any person has a puppet show, wire dancing or tumbling act in the state of Indiana and receives money for it, they will be fined $3 under the Act to Prevent Certain Immoral Practices."
- Indiana - "It is illegal for a man to be sexually aroused in public."
- Indiana - "Oral sex is illegal."
- Indiana - "A man over the age of 18 may be arrested for statutory rape if the passenger in his car is not wearing her socks and shoes, and is under the age of 17."
- Indiana - "Smoking in the state legislature building is banned, except when the legislature is in session."
- Illinois - "The English language is not to be spoken."
- Illinois - "You must contact the police before entering the city in an automobile."
- Illinois - "You may be arrested for vagrancy if you do not have at least one dollar bill on your person."
- Iowa - "A man with a moustache may never kiss a woman in public."
- Iowa - "Kisses may last for no more than five minutes."
- Iowa - "It is a violation of the law to sell or distribute drugs or narcotics without having first obtained the appropriate Iowa drug tax stamp."
- Iowa - "One-armed piano players must perform for free."
The really strange part is some of these are still in effect. I mean can you really take down a law after it's been put up? Just goes to show that the cops could bust you for just about anything if they really wanted. Just depends on how well they know their laws.

- Texas - "Up to a felony charge can be levied for promoting the use of, or owning more than six dildos."

Same place, different name?....
Well, the stomping grounds here look the same... everything reads the same... So what's the difference?
I finally decided to get a domain name for the blog. I know it's nothing very fancy but it will be a little easier for anyone to find if they're not at home.
So here it is... the mighty domain name that you can find me at.
www.diaryofadoorman.com
That's the whole kit an caboodle. I know it's not much to people who delve into this internet fancy world all the time but to me it's a lot. It's like nailing yourself to something and knowing your not getting away from it. Wait.. why'd I do this again??
This site can still be accessed the same way you do now. The name will just make it easier for people to find it through search engines and for them to remember.
On a different note.....
This coming weekend is Labor Day weekend which means there will be lots of drunkenness to be had. I might not update again until next Monday though. These holiday weekends are usually a lot of hours for me and by the time I get home I just want to pass out. So there's a small chance I'll update but more than likely you'll see an update some time late on Monday.
Be safe.
