Something I would do!

A mother passing by her son’s bedroom was astonished to see that his bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then he saw an envelope propped up prominently on the pillow that was addressed to
“Mom.”
With the worst premonition she opened the envelope with trembling hands and read the letter.
Dear Mom:
It is with great […]

I didn’t SPARE any expense!

Ummm… yeah… sorry, I’m sitting in someone’s basement, so being Punny is my way of having fun., So… I totally forgot to mention! I got a call the other day from Nick! Nick is Couch 29’s friend whom we went to the movies with the night I lost my keys… which cost […]

Coca Cola 600 NASCAR race

200 miles per hour! Lots of booze! A tragic injury that sent a friend to the hospital! Beautiful women! All in a day, when you’re Couch Surfing Ori.
NASCAR was created because of the prohibition. A bunch of booze-runners really customized their cars so they could outrun the cops. They […]

I got asalted in South Carolina!

Yeah! I was having my coffee this morning that someone brought to the office, when Matt hands it to me, along with a bag of crystals, and some sugar packets and a creamer. There was really only one sugar packet, which wasn’t enough, so I poured out the ones from the bag into […]

I forgot to tell you! I auditioned for a reality show!

The Next Internet Millionaire is a show made by Joel Comm — this guy dominates Google AdSense, and even created Yahoo Games. He’s a great presenter, and seemed a cool guy when I met him. So, of course, I auditioned. Go and see the entries– maybe vote for me if you like […]

Another cancelled couch… camped out finally!

Well… Technically, I camped out at the Good Vibes Boogie - though, it was more of passing out in the field on Friday night, and passing out on the ground next to this massive fire I had built. I guess that’s camping out. Well, that was a “big” event, with tons of people […]

Follow your dreams! Bought a guitar!

I always liked the guitar. My dad tried to teach me a time or two… I can play a few songs, but I would not call myself very good. But I’d like to play, and sing. No one really knows, but when I was a kid, people thought that I’d be a […]

What’s in a Chicken McNugget?

I LOVE chicken mcnuggets… When I came to the USA on December 16, 1985 (From Israel), I remember we landed.. it was my 1st plane ride that I can recall.. and it was 17 hours. I had turned 9, it was my b-day. We got to my cousin’s house, they took us […]

What are you doing Monday morning? Tuesday Morning? Wednesday Morning?

Ok! I got a place. Couch 33 (Amanda) has a place, and friends with Pickup trucks! Looks like we’re in the clear. However…. I think that that prick landlord of hers needs to be taught a lesson. I mean… what kind of a prick kicks a CouchSurfingOri out of their […]

*QUICK*Who’s in / near Charlotte NC, or SC or TN, or N. GA?

I’m at Couch 33’s in Charlotte, North Carolina.
I keep seeming to find adventures and drama for my trip, eh? The other night I thought I was stranded in SC, and I ended up in some all girls’ college, smuggled into the all girls’ dorms, drinking with a bunch of girls (who else would be […]

Ouch!

Greetings from Charlotte, North Carolina. Had no clue that I’d be in NC so soon, but awww heck… The original couch 32 flaked, so I got a new couch 32, and had sent out my emergency “SOS! Who do you know that’s in South Carolina” e-mail, and had gotten a few awesome replies. […]

I got stranded! Now I’m in hiding!

I figured that I’d get stuck without a couch “some time” on my trip…. 5 and a half months… not too bad And while I had an easy .cdrive from GA to SC, I got here at 6:30, and was trying very hard to get a hold of Tracy. We had […]

Why am I flipping for joy?

I FOUND MY CHARGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes! I found my $432 battery charger for my camera! This is the original one that came with my camera. I had not been able to find it for the last 3 weeks or so… It took a while to realize that I don’t have it, as each battery […]

Photoshoot: Daniel & Son

I had Daniel come over with his son, Christian so I can take their photos… as his (ex)wife is no longer trying to take his son from him. She’s moving away, and that’s that. She had threatened to take the kid away with her when she moves, and split custody was already sort of […]

Happy Birthday Renee (hello Denise) / Good Riddance Ori!

I had a blast tonight…. yes… tonight! I usually blog the next day… but tonight I (skipped out on mood, ’cause I’m a workaholic, and had plenty of tequila at Pure) got in early enough to beat the midnight mark, and blog the same day! Derek was awesome enough to call me and […]

Has everyone seen Vesna’s cute lil pussy?


Ain’t it adorable?

Pictures from the Zoo!

The other day I said that I went to the zoo. Being a photographer, I took a ton of photos, and today I finally figured out a good way to set these slideshows up efficiently– so.. here they are!

Jerry Falwell is dead. *chuckle*

I never liked the guy… it’s funny, he actually had used to talk about how an organization should never use religion to rise to power… then he did just that. Heck… did you know that over 200 people right now (many who have proven incompetent), working in the white house staff right now, graduated […]

Inspection went great! Check out my new place!

Last night I met up with Chris for an inspection of my new condo, and it was pretty awesome! Mint condition, give for a few minor things. I took some photos:

Wow! Thanks! Now leave some comments!

I just wanted to say Thanks! I am viewing my stats page, and I have over 100 people a day browsing my page! I appreciate you taking the interest in my life / adventures… that means a lot when there is so much stuff you can be doing with your time. I […]

Don’t lose your keys! Gotta love the internet! Great Movie!

Lost Key - Cutting a new one: $50 + New Clicker $45 + Getting clicker to work with my car $54. Ouch!
I was about to head out the door to jog (I’m jogging now, already looking leaner…. let’s see if I can get a 6-pack by my b-day (December)), and my Ipod Nano freezes […]

My Karma Ran Over Your Dogma!

Yesterday was just one of those days where things seemed to go wrong, and today seems to follow…. Sometimes it’s hard to stay optimistic.
For starters, I can’t find my camera charger. I have a Canon 1D Mark II, which is a more professional camera… so… all the cameras that are commonplace and have cheap […]

It’s Official! Buying my 1st home!

The seller has finally faxed back the written offer. It is now official, I am buying this great place near all this nature, in a great area! Inspection is on Monday night- I’ll keep you posted, and of course take photos on Monday to show you!

Got a date! Though… I have to get there 1st.

Gotta love MySpace.com - So.. one of my “friends” is setting up her own adventure - 100 dates. She is going on 100 dates, and turning it into a book. Being a hot chick affords people more dates I guess - So.. since she told me about her blog / […]

A NEW TRADITION!

I’ve wanted to post this one for a while… but Couch 28 has been so busy (I feel partially responsible, although he’s certainly a self-driven guy) that I haven’t been able to get these photos from him… Now that I have, I thought I’d make a little movie out of them (appropriate, ’cause I taught […]

GOT KEY! and saw some baby panda…. but GOT KEY!!!

The day started out late’ish… went to the zoo. It was hot as hell, though kind of pretty. I like Atlanta. Granted, I haven’t seen it in the extreme heat / cold…. actually, I’ve seen the cold, never mind. Anyways- last night was easy enough… I was in a grumpy mood […]

I’m a bad person. *sigh* :( (Oh yeah.. and getting a condo in Atl)

I try to be a good person. I’ve helped every single couch (’cept #8, since I was barely there) with computer issues, careers, personal issues, business issues, fitness, health, marketing, graphics, photography, even moving heavy stuff, or networking them with the right people. There’s more to being good than helping people, of course… I’m […]

!#@$%! Lost my keys! But… saw a great movie.

I don’t do the “Why me?!?! Oh dear God, why is this happening to me?” But it certainly crosses your mind when you’re couch-surfing, and you lose your keys. I mean… it’s not like I can get around without it, right? A lot of people drive me around here in ATL. […]

What helps you create images that get more attention than pictures of a hot naked blonde bombshell?

This is my new Workshop campaign! It matches my personality a lot more. I had a brain storming session with Skizzy to bounce my ideas off him, and he actually came up with the concept of gets you more attention than… and he said bombshell. Of course, my goofy ass thought of […]

Life Is Short… Get a Divorce…

What a great banner!

Have whatever beliefs you want about marriage… but this is great advertising!
Why so great? Because they paid for an ad, and now they’re all over TV- over and over and over again.. and on the internet… and even on CouchSurfingOri.com! Not only has everyone heard about them now, but their […]

Took care of that ticket! YES!! Shameless promotion?

It was great! I got this speeding ticket in January, on my drive to California (The speeding ticket sucked… keep reading for the real “It was great!”). I wasn’t driving that fast, but the second I saw the lights, I pulled over… was real nice, and hoped he’d let me free. No […]

Funny QVC screwups!

This is a clip that SoFain posted. Pretty damn funny!
The following is a set of clips from QVC that absolutely crack me up. This really demonstrates the magic of live television as well as the fact that I get almost too much satisfaction from watching others suffering public embarassment.
Check these out one at […]

I GOT MY CAR BACK!!!!!

She’s so purty! I’m so happy! That little dinky Kia Rio or whatever it was just did not feel the same! My car’s the greatest! 2004 Chevy Blazer Extreme. Red. Low (Factory… I didn’t do it). ROOMY! With a growl she roars to life. She stops when […]

Some interesting video… FreeMason info

Another link sent by a reader Jordan Maxwell exposes the Illuminati - This covers a lot of symbolism that’s currently used everywhere… origins of many religions, establishments, banking, etc… It’s a long video — but after The DaVinci Code, and the noise that raised, isn’t it nice to know a […]

The most incredible URL… possibly ever!

I’ll give credit where credit is due… Thank you Skizzy! My friend Scott (Skizz-Photo / Couch 24) always is looking up inspirational material. Inspiration is different for all of us, but him and I have overlaps - metaphysical stuff, spiritual (not religious) stuff, photography stuff, and cool stuff. This site that […]

Graduation, and drove to get a little pussy!

Vesna’s phone traditionally goes off all through the night. People text her always… well.. this time, apparently, it was her Alarm Clock. Cookie & I didn’t realize, so we didn’t wake her up… we just thought obnoxious people were trying to text her at 6am. We all grumbled at 7-something, trying […]

what a night! Great dinner! Danced! Slept with two girls!

It was Couch 29(Vesna)’s last day of school, as her graduation is Saturday. A Bachelor’s in Aerospace Engineering. We all met up for dinner at Dolce. The food was delicious! I had some Truffle Linguini - duck, peas, linguini, and some other stuff. I drove, so I didn’t drink. […]

My Survivor Audition!

I met a bunch of people lately- so… here’s a bit of personal story about me I made this back in 2001. My background is in Motion Graphics, special effects, and 3d animation… for those who wonder how I can make surreal images so quickly in Photoshop.
For the record- I […]

I’m buying a place in Atlanta. How to choose though????? Argh!

I’m buying a place in Atlanta. The properties are so much more affordable than in South Florida… it’s not even funny how much more bang you get for the buck here. For those who haven’t had the pleasunore of trying to find a place, it seems to go something like this:
1)Look around…. […]

GoDaddy Sucks… Get BlueHost - reliable hosting, CouchSurfingOri approved!

You’ve heard me bitch about GoDaddy.com before… I had my hosting through them for a long time… if nothing else, I felt as if I was screwing things up, or I didn’t want to move to another host ’cause I didn’t want to lose my e-mails, data, etc… I had already had complaints about slow […]


Ori is currently in:

Atlanta, Georgia


with Couch 44

65 Couches served so far

Get good hosting!

I got sick of losing sleep due to GoDaddy's glitches, and crappy billing... I moved to BlueHost, and am happy! Awesome service, unlimited account hosting, and I'd love to see you use up all the bandwidth they give you for $6.50/month!
