Born and raised in Detroit, Moved north (Near Traverse City area) about 13 - 14 years ago don't see myself leaving (well for at least another 10 years when my daughter hits 18 lol)

-Loki-

Thanks :) Interesting doesn't even begin to touch this lol, and talk about taking trips down memory lane, and some of these questions.... bring back some memories good and bad

Now I know why it's called "Ambush" lol

More to come!

-Loki-

Aww thanks hun... now if ONLY I had your bod...... err umm gotta get back to these questions lol

-Loki-

Lol, well thanks.... I think, umm lemme see, I had cut my hair,(was down past my ass) right before my first child was born (2000) and I'm trying to recall if I actually had it cut since then.... I'm thinking no, I've had trims here and there, but I've not taken any real length off since 2000, Funny story though.....

Just about 8 months ago I decided to just cut it all off, give up the wildman look and TRY to look a bit more 'respectable' HA! So I'm sitting in the chair, black smock thing on, and the lady is snip snip snipping at the shorter hairs, I look down at the smock and it is COVERED in Grey and white hair! I tell her STOP..... I ask her....

"Is this coming from MY head or are you fucking with me?" She gets all confused and I repeat myself, she giggles and informs me that in fact YES it is coming off my head..... I threw up my hands and said "STOP! Were NOT cutting it short!!!"

Gotta love it, not even 33 yet and I'm getting a full head of Grey and white hair lol

-Loki-

LMAO Yes, Yes indeed, I got married 9 years ago... and it was a mistake from the get-go, we literally lived apart for

7 of the last 9 years too, I pretty much married her cause she got pregnant and NOW I know that's NOT reason enough to

marry ANYONE (Granted I got a SHITLOAD of rights out of the deal)

The marriage was really only on paper, as since we've been living apart all this time, we've also been living our own

lives too, I've dated off and on, some serious most not, the wife and I would be on again / off again but more then

not we were off.

About 3 years ago the wife and some of our mutual friends were talking about "The Babysitter" I never met her, and at

one point I didn't even think she existed lol, I would be over at aa friends house and this babysitter was supposed

to be there and NOTHING, so I dubbed her "The Imaginary Friend"

In the end I DID in fact meet her, and she was in fact real, (and HOT!) lol, she moved in here, we started to date, we

got engaged, and come Feb of 2010 we'll be welcoming a new baby to the home (my 2nd, her 1st)

But yeah that's the story there, it's not the traditional story I guess, but she was my daughter's sitter and now

she'll be her step mom lol

-Loki-

very cool pics

Hey... Don't let this die so quick lol

Ahh The infamous "Drug Questions" Long story short, from 12 y/s to 21 I was a straight up JUNKIE, I did pretty much

anything I could get my hands on, and unknown to me it was killing me, I lost everything for the pursuit of my

highs, and due to that I went through a shitload of lows...

My best trick was hiding (and I mean HIDING) my use from everyone, people I lived with never even knew I did anything

other then smoke pot here and there, it was actually pretty easy, cause during that entire timeframe I was never sober

at all, so if you knew me, that's just me, I acted like that 24 / 7 there was no drastic changes in my actions, moods,

etc I was for lack of a better term a fully functioning junkie.

I held jobs, made GREAT money... blew it all on more drugs lol... even ran my own companies for a few years

(landscaping and print work)

My breaking point / worst moment came around the time I was about 20 or so, I was living in the garage of a drug house

/ gang house and we were flat broke and out of drugs, I "drunk dialed" my father at 3am and left a very confusing /

funny message on his machine......

"ummmm hello dad... it's me.... your son..... jason..... (shut up... wait) um yeah... I need some money for um...

the... light bill (giggle) yeah the light bill, if you can help me out and bring over (hey how much we need for that

shit.....aha....ok...cool) Like $400.00 that would be cool (I dunno if he's buying it it's the fucking machine) Ok

(giggle) I'll see you in the morning bye.

The next morning I was woken up (I had passed out in the hallway of the house in my own puke) by the sound of knocking

and guns cocking and ppl whispering.... it's the fucking 5-0 man... lets shoot this mutha-fucka" They open the door...

10 guys with guns pointing at the door... it was like a fucking movie for real lol I look up and see it's my father

and I say... "Nooooo maaaaaaan, that aint no cop, that's my dad maaaaaaan he's an opt... optomi..... he's an eye guy"

My dad busts through the two ppl in front of the door and grabs me, and carries me out of the house, I woke up in a

motel room 2 days later, not able to remember much of anything at all, (I know the prior parts thanks to the saved

answering machine tape, and my dad's recount of the morning)

It turns out that on top of somewhat detoxing from being sober for the first 3 days in 6 years (no shit) I also had

double walking pneumonia and had my dad not gotten me to the ER I would have died within the next day or two

That was my wake-up call, my dad and I talked it over and we both agreed, IF I stayed in Detroit I would most likely

end up dead, so I packed up my shit and a pound of weed (lol) and I headed north to our family cottage, I've been here

ever since and I'm happy to say I've stayed sober too, I DO smoke the herb here and there for pain (no really lol) but

even that it's been since Dec since I last hit my bat lol

My quitting was an adventure all in itself, I got up here in the middle of summer, the cottage was about 30 miles from

the nearest town and surrounded by miles and miles of woods and lakes (small and big) I grabbed a tent, bug spray, and

misc supplies and went out to a friend of mine's property (500 acres of woods and a pond) I set up camp for 2 weeks

and pretty much went TRIBAL lol

I ran through the property like an animal, I chopped wood, stacked wood, anything to fight the detox my body was going

through, I CONVINCED myself that IF I even did 1 more line, 1 more pill, 1 more anything that it would kill me, hands

down. at the end of the two weeks, I felt better then I had in years, I went back to the family cottage and the rest

they say is history

The aftereffects of my drug use would not manifest till a few years later though, hindsight is as they say 20/20, but

that's all part of Question #25 so I'll get back to that then.

If I had it to do all over again would I change anything? I'll be honest I really don't know lol, as fucked up as

that sounds, I do believe EVERYTHING happens for a reason, and if I had done ONE THING diff back then WOULD I even be

sitting here typing this today?

-Loki-

See, I told you. He's either Jesus Christ or a criminal.

See ya on page 2!

-Loki-

**EDIT** 50 Ambushes ;)

Ahh, this is the one I was waiting for... and like some of my other answers will also prolly be on the long side

(sorry folks lol)

The whole "brokest Celeb" is a mix of various things...

The "celeb" thing is not just the radio, take into account my entire history in the adult biz in no particular

order....

Photographer, print work (box covers etc) __________________ (Wait for question #24 lol) Program Owner, Designer,

Radio Host, etc etc etc, I am/was in fact pretty well known (and forgotten) from a board standpoint you have people

like pimpdog, juicy, boyally, headless etc these are adult 'celebs' some later renamed to "bros" I however even after

a 4 page spread in AVN Online, radio shows etc always felt like the "dude who everyone knew but forgot" lol

I've never spent lots of times on boards, cause frankly I've mainly been a 1-man-army most of my time in adult and if

I'm posting all day that means I'm NOT working on my content and sites.

and at the same time I NEED to have a presence in this industry to gain more affiliates, clients or whatever

depending on the time frame / situation.

So... what you end up with is me posting every day for a week or two then vanishing for a month or two (lather rinse

repeat lol)

Now onto the "brokest" I'm honest to a fault, as well as fair, (I'm sure some of the people I've worked with might

think otherwise but it is the utmost truth.) with that said, I've NEVER charged what I should in ANY of my stuff, when

I did webdesign I was cheap... (outsource person cheap lol) when it came to my content also dirt cheap and lets not

even bring up my first 5 months of the affil program I made an error in the ccbill panel and had 100% payouts going to

affils LMAO

Now, I'm NOT saying that the people WITH money are not honest, just in my case, I slit my throat to make people happy,

to maintain a good biz relationship, to assure return clients.

I've made good money in adult, BUT I've also blown it all time and time again, for good or for ill lol (Family sucks

lol)

The funniest thing with my "brokest Celeb" mantel goes right along with question #17 But i'll touch on it here...

I was dubbed "The Godfather Of 3D Toons" by AVN back in 02 or 03, and then had a 4 page writeup in the Oct 2004 issue,

by THAT alone I felt that the money should just start rolling in, but honestly I know now that I was meerly just ahead

of my time, I've been doing this 3D Toon stuff for almost 10 years now, BUT the market didn't really take off till the

end of 2007 WHEN more and more companies started to get in the mix.

I'm one of the co-founders of the 3D niche, I launched the first 100% paysite, the first 100% program, I was the first

site to operate SOLEY on member requests and up till last year I really had nothing to show for it lol

I'm not bitter, by any means, if I had to do it all over again I would not change a thing... well no, I would have

cornered the video market instead of ignoring it for 5 years lol.

Now, The Howard Stern Thing... since the first day I got into the online porn industry I've thought of myself as "The

Howard Stern Of Porn" and that is a little hard to understand if your not very familiar with Howard's life.

After Howard Left Detroit, he pretty much vowed to not hold ANYTHING back, good or bad, let it alllll out there, be

himself, not put on a show, that's the same atitude I took (much to the dismay of alot of my past partners consultants

and or advisor's lol) but that's the only way I figured it would work.

I did not need to sit and brag about my stuff, my cash (when I did have it) places I go who I fuck etc etc, Sure I

used my share of "spin" but everyone in biz does in some way shape or form.

So that's what I did with my online biz, I never held back, I spoke my mind, I did not try to be a "board char" I was

just me, a wacky, odd, shut-in who lives in the woods of Northern Michigan, a jack of all trades and a master of VERY

FEW lol.

When I did my radio show it was the same way, (minus my WolfMan Jack Voice :1orglaugh) I talked about my drug use, my horrid marriage, my models, my ups and my

downs, I held nothing back, and in that case I was like Howard Stern (Without his millions) lol

I might come back and add more to this later IF you need more explanation but for now this is enough I think lol

-Loki-

Trippy answer above LOL. :)

Great ambush....

Do those have anything to do with the 103.9 Fox in Flint?

how so?

-Loki-

Thanks, just wait for the juicy answers like #11, 14, 17 just to name a few lol

-Loki-

Great read so far...your life is like a Charles Bukowski character - raw and gritty, but with pathos, and multi-faceted. :thumbsup

Let's see some 3D Asian babes! :Graucho

ADG

I doubt it, By the time I left 99.5 The Fox they had gone country and fired all of us, last I knew (they could have changed in the last 13 years lol) they were "Young Country" 99.5 WYDC, when they were The Fox they went under WDFX.

WVIC had a very short reach, and I don't think they had any other frequencies.

As for 106.7 I can say without question it had nothing to do with any station in Flint.

In fact when I got hired there they were not even a 24 hour station :1orglaugh I talked the owner into staying on (as long as I did the shift for free) and IF and ONLY IF I produced ratings in the next arbitron books, that he then paid me to do the overnights full time.

He agreed, I not only got ratings, but I got the highest ratings in our market, the station went to a 24 hour format and I was fired :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I laugh cause NOW and pretty much ever since they fired me back then they honestly NEVER beat any other station to this day

-Loki-

Thanks :) As for the Asians.... lemme see if I can dig some up

-Loki-

Oh yeah! and I should start with a shout-out to Chaz and say.... "I never should have left you guys lol"

I hooked up with two hosts the first was not really a fuck-over unless you count that fact that they sold off their company and my "Barter deal" was not honored by them.

The second is by far ONE of the WORST experiences I've ever dealt with in my adult industry carrier!

There was a little known host years back (Lela Hosting) who had a good name for itself, they use to host another adult board, lets say it was a "wet" board, now if a BOARD says a host is ok, then it MUST BE! WRONG!!! (Hindsight is 20/20 lol)

Anyway, I worked out a killer deal with the owner of the company where I would do graphic work, promotions, and work with his other ventures in exchange for free hosting... and not only that but dedicated servers

So anyway, I'm hosting with them for prolly a few years, and things are running semi smoothly, nothing out of the ordinary happens, I do work, I get free servers, I need something done to the boxes and I can't get a hold of my techs it gets done by the hosting company for me, he needs more work above and beyond what we agreed upon he pays me....

well THAT was the plan

What he did instead was come up with excuse after excuse of how he was unable to send the money for whatever reason, a few times he'd send it trough paypal (VERY FEW Times) and when it would happen that way he'd send like only $20.00 with the promise that more would go through later.

THEN... he offered to pay some bills for me instead of just sending me the money, I thought cool save me some time doing it, so HE called up this place and that and paid MY BILL with HIS credit card.

I come to find out later he claimed the charges on his card were fraudulent and he got full refunds and I damn near got sent to jail for credit card fraud! The ONLY thing that saved me were the "amounts" it was low enough that the two companies he paid on multiple occasions KNEW it was not fraud (and they knew me) they wrote it off as a loss.

(it gets even better!)

I take off for a weekend to work security for a music festival, Tim (owner of the 'company') knows this, I'm not "supposed" to have internet access that weekend BUT I managed to get some, While I was away, he moved us from our dedicated servers BACK to a shared server, BUT he fucked up when he entered in our login info and accidentally gave us full root access, sooooo we were able to see exactly how many other sites were on our "dedicated servers"

When confronted with both screenshots and proof of who did the move (lol server admin logs) and when it happened Tim played the "tech fuck-up" card and assured us we would be moved back, we were (but not really)

(Still gets better)

All the sudden Lela starts going down more and more, (even our "dedi boxes") and their starting to get blasted on the boards, Tim assures me everything is fine and in fact they JUST bought out another hosting company and are setting up

100 new servers and "Everyone including you is getting free upgrades due to the downtime"

The "sheep" are calmed, and everything goes back to normal, then Tim does a huge 'sale' on the boards offers an insane deal for new clients, collects over 200 new clients (found out through grapevine) and gets 3-6 months of hosting money

per client, a few days later EVERYTHING GOES DOWN......

Long story short

It turns out that Tim / LelaHosting was NOT this nice big hosting company, but in fact nothing but a reseller, they stopped paying their bills to their upline and took all the clients money (and data in some cases) and then vanished off the web, the upline yanked the boxes down BUT was "so kind" to offer the Lela clients....

"A 12 hour window to retrieve their data, we can not tell you when this 12 hours will start so please keep trying to access your cpanels or FTP servers"

In the end, I lost EVERYTHING but my actual content, I lost all my custom backend scripts, everything, and I did not have "backups" cause well I was PAYING them to back my shit up and they never did, and the backups that were on my

office computers got fried by lighting WHILE I WAS BURNING THEM TO DISCS :(

so yeah, a bunch of us tried like hell to hunt down his real info, since it turned out not only did he use fake info for EVERYTHING, he also had did this a few years back under a diff company name, so far he's safe in hiding.... so far

-Loki-

Whoa...brutal. Next time my host goes down for a minute or two, I'll be sure not to get too pissed off.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:error

Yeah, by comparison even a day or two of downtime is no big deal lol

-Loki-

Bump for Loki :)

You know I ask myself that SAME question all the time lmao










Seriously, I post for a number of reasons, I've gotten a lot of clients from GFY, a few very good friends from GFY a job here and there, and a shitload of laughs lol,

although I don't call just one board my home, I do think of GFY as that crazy relitives house that sometimes you DO NOT want to go visit, but you know you just have to lol

I just wish we had more biz and less bull

-Loki-

first time i read all answers so far in an ambush interview, great stories...
damn i gotta get to work

Great ambush - looking forward to reading the rest.

Well I am honored :) and Might I say... stay tuned for the even more to come ;)

-Loki-

Thanks a lot :) I'm kind of tired of typing at this point, but I assure you the next few will be even better then the priors :)

-Loki-

Thanx For The Bump :)

"Hammer's High!"




I'm heading to bed, I'm friggan BEAT! (5:30am here now)

Whenever I pull my ass out of bed and get my Sumatra going I will kick off my Friday with a dose of TWO answers!

AND, If ANY of you have your own questions, feel free to add them to the thread, I'll do my best to answer them all as well as I can :)

-Loki-

well done so far!!!!!

Great Ambush Interview and VDC-Loki is an awesome subject.

I'm thrilled to see the return of the Ambush Interview!!

Matt

Thanks,

-Loki-

I'm a subject? under which king lol no but seriously thanks :) I'm glad you are all digging the interview so far, we'll see if that changes in the next few answers lol


-Loki-

Okay like I said before I passed out, I'll start the day off with a Twofer, so here we go.....

Wow... put a Devil on the spot lol,

I've had many people come and go over the years, and some that we've just lost touch, but through it all theres only a small few that I talk to on a daily basis,

so, hands down I guess I'd have to say that my best friend in the biz would be FlyingWulf AKA Joe, we were introduced by "Karla" (then she promptly vanished lol) and him and I INSTANTLY CLICKED, we became like brothers, only problem was He lived in Wisconnsin and I lived in Michigan and neither of us traveled much.

So thanks to instant messager and free nights and weekends we talked, and talked, and talked, and talked and talked for a few years, He became my right hand man for V1rtualdesires, and he put in most of his time for a lot less then he was worth more times then not.

Now he lives about 8 blocks from me and is married to a friend of mine he's not online much these days but he is still part of the industry.

As for GFY, that's an even tougher one, a lot of my click do not post on boards, mainly cause we just don't have the time to, I for one HAVE to make the time IF I want to make any money lol, so as for a GFY "best friend" I'm gonna have to be half assed and say that........

I love you all ;)

-Loki-

Loki, its about fucking time man, you should have been interviewed in the 1st round of interviews.. You're one of the hardest working virtual content producers out there man.. Your stuff has come so far.. If I had a need for it personally I'd have always bought from you..

Keep on truckin brother, you're a true OG in this industry like a lot of others.. Amazing how time flys! and the some of us that were here waaaaay back then are still around to this day..

Great reads so far!

(Steps Up Onto Cyber Soapbox)

AHEM... is this thing on????

I feel pretty much the same as I always have about the state of our online industry, I personally feel that since the beginning too many people have NOT treated this as a REAL BUSINESS, and that is the MAIN reason we are where we are at today....

In the VERY beginning, we drew WAY TOO MUCH unnecessary heat to us thanks to the boards and people posting ... no BRAGGING about the HUGE amounts of money they were making IN DAYS, pictures of cars, houses, wine, jewelry, stacks of cash etc etc etc it made the feds, and the IRS, and all the powers that be stand up and take a BIG notice at us....

one by one crackdowns started to happen,

We kept going,

rob the surfers blind, triple bill them hide the cancel button, circle jerk them until they paid you, then pray to god they were to scared or embarrassed to cancel or fight their bills....

Visa, American Express, Paypal etc etc stepped up and spanked us back

We kept going,

some of our sponsors used "shady" tactics to gain new members without the help of affils, affils had no idea about this and instead cried "The Password Sites Are Killing Our Ratios"

We FLOODED the internet with "Free Samples" and then BITCHED that the TGP's runied our ratios and yet we KEPT feeding the TGP's more and more 'free samples'

We promise the surfer the world and once they pay we give them the same shit as 100 other sites but packaged a tad bit diff

We robbed, we cheated, we lied, and we HID and then bitched when the big bad 2257 monster came to town "FORCING" Us to reveal our "biz locations"

We kept going

we installed viruses and malware on our sites to make the extra buck, we became MORE and MORE shady never gave a fuck,

we filled up inboxes with massive amounts of spam, while all the while trying to fuck uncle Sam

We kept going

We then decided it wasn't enough to fuck JUST the surfers so we turned our sites onto each other and fucked some more,

we used scare tactics and fear to make a quick buck, If your not a FSC member then you'll surely be fucked

when the big bad DOJ comes knocking on your door, If your not on the sealed list you better hit the floor

The sponsors are shaving, affils misbehaving, and all the while were simply digging our own graves

We'll scam the work, we'll fuck over a transfer, we've become the same scammers we've bitched about for over 10 years now!

why oh why does everyone think were so bad?

what do we ever do?

(I just realized some of that rhymed lol)

Today it's the same if not worse, the only thing that has really changed is the METHODS, TGPS begot Tubesites, Password sites begot Rapidshare sites and tipple blind billing begot cross-sales

If we continue down this road we will devour ourselves, in the end someone will just cut us off from the rest of the interent and we will only be left with each other.

Now, sadly my solution will NEVER come, at least not in my lifetime, the web is the perfect place for scammers and thieves to hide and breed, and as a collective I do not EVER see the online porn industry coming together to fix

itself, There are WAY too many ego's involved!

Take a look at the "mainstream" porn industry, you don't see THEM berated AS MUCH as we do, you don't see the feds lining up and cracking down on them AS MUCH as they do to us, you don't see Visa refusing to process them cause they use the word TEEN in a title... BUT us... remember back in what, 2003 Visa wanted US to change "Teen" to "Co-Ed"

I can literally go on and on about this (and if you remember my radio shows you KNOW I'm not exaggerating that lol)

BUT, I will try and wrap this all up nice and neatly....

WILL we still be here in five years from now, well that all depends on how you define "We" I do believe that unless "they" figure out a way to close Pandora's box and keep porn away from the hungry masses,

SOME of us will still be here, and I hate to sound like a broken record, but you remember that adage that is thrown around here in damn near every biz related thread? "Adapt or die!" it's not just a canned response, it holds a shit-ton of merit!

Porn will ALWAYS be around, has been since the dawn of time, humans are animalistic by nature (some more then others) and our desires will always push us, Long Live Porn lol

-Loki-

well there's no time like the present to get into 3D Toons :pimp

But seriously, Thanks for the kind words, and your right I am a hard working SOB, somewhere back in 2004 I think my office chair became a permanent appendage to my ass lol, I seem to spend more time in my studio then any other part of my house lol

As for time.... I try not to even think of that anymore, I've been in the adult industry (offline and online) now for over 15 years, It's been like a fucking roller coaster for sure lol BUT I can honestly say I would change these years for anything lol

-Loki-


More photos will be coming, I'm kind of trying to post them at relevant times, so stay tuned I'll pick this back up in a bit.

ahhh FINALLY a short answer....

NO, NO, NO, Yes...






































I used to be a cook, so I made lots of salad,
