2003-08-29 - 11:07 a.m. - orgasmic review by miss climax...

As I mentioned in my earlier entry, Orgasmic Reviews is one of those review sites where a review there could go amazingly well or horribly bad depending on your content, layout and how it relates to the reviewer.  The reviewer's particular mood is quite possibly a factor in how well or at the very least how constructive your review goes. I've seen high praise and I've seen diaries (along with their writers) ripped to shreds. My advice is, If you don't have utter confidence in your diary I would strongly suggest trying a few, less critical sites before you apply for a review here. With that said should you choose to apply for this site expect a completely honest opinion and do not expect either reviewer to pull any punches. 

Neither reviewers have posted any links to their own personal diaries, which is unfortunate because I would have like to seen a sample of their design skills and their writing. Consequently this gives each reviewer the advantage of anonymity so they don't have to fear personal retaliation in their own diaries. I'm all for honest and constructive opinions. I even welcome destructive opinions if there is a particular element a reviewer does not like. If it's like: "I hate this part of your diary so I'm calling a spade a spade." I can live with that. 

Normally I wouldn't say a word, but when I see a friend who is open about her sexuality and literally gets called a slut by the reviewer I think that's crossing the line. Attacking the individual itself instead of the diary or diary elements is unethical, unprofessional and in some ways just plain destructive. I totally wanted to get that off my chest because quite a few of the reviews I've been reading lately on that site have been notorious in that respect. 

It's totally out of the blue as well, considering the sexy "Orgasmic" theme. You would think that a review site that has the image of a woman masturbating, and has reviewers with pen names of "Miss Pleasure" and "Miss Climax" would be open to sexually oriented diaries. I may be wrong, but I'm feeling a slight tinge of hypocrisy here. If this review site wants license to rip on people's diaries, why not rename the site to something more appropriate "tearyouanewassholereviews" like so many of those other "flame your diary" sites? At least there would be some truth in advertising...  

With that off my chest I am going to move on with the review itself. To be fair I didn't undergo a major reaming like I thought I would have. I'll post the review so you can read for yourself, my comments as usual will be bulleted and in bold.

First Impressions:
Isn't this the diary that belongs to the most conceited bastard on D-Land? Thought so!

  • Conceited bastard, moi? Ok so I may go off the deep end here and there, but I never thought I'd qualify for the most conceited bastard in all of d-land. =p I can't argue with first impressions though, I guess it really depends on which entry you land yourself in first, and I may have a handful of entries that reflect that part of me...

Layout Design: (20/20)
Your booty girl is turning me on. I like how you took her from the bottom (yes, I've been here before) and placed her in a neat little box along with *gasp* who would've thought? A picture of yourself and then one of a martini glass and shaker.

  • Yes, those three little pictures were taking quite a bit of space on the layout, so I threw them all in one box. I've been teetering on the decision whether to keep or leave my personal pictures in my layout and my diary in general. I just have the the feeling that people will tend to treat me different knowing what I look like. I'm thinking that the pictures may add to the vanity/conceit factor of my diary and I see plenty of other diaries that go on fantastically without any personal pictures. It's like the picture of the author on the back of the protective paper cover of some book, it really has nothing to do with the book, except for maybe the author's own vanity and perhaps a potential of increased sales if the author is attractive.

Your layout is great...I really don't have too much to complain about so I'll just hop on down to the next part. Oh wait! You didn't think I was really going to let you off that easy. Did you? HaHa! So, have you ever thought of using a different color on your links? The blue (that I'm seeing) is a little too bright for your layout. May I suggest a darker blue such as the one that's in morph banner?

  • Different link colors have been suggested by various reviewers in the past. I may just have to play with the color palette and see what goes from there. I'm glad you liked the layout though.  

Navigation: (5/5)
Neat.

  • Thanks. 

Errors: (8/10)
Maybe the word COCK which appeard through out your diary threw my judgment off but the only ones I found were red x's or the pics not showing up at all. I don't like those so please fix them..

  • I knew that word was good for a reason, thank god I use it copiously. ;) 
  • As for the dreaded red X's I've been having problems with Imagestation, mostly because outside linking is prohibited and if they catch you then "boom" your account is closed. Someday I'll just go back and either fix those entries or delete them entirely.  Thank you for pointing them out though.

Contact: (5/5)
AIM, Notes, Email, G-Book & G-Map. No home address? ;)

  • The home address is on a need to know basis. ;)

Updates: (4/5)
Few skips w/ multiples.

  • Ah yes, the dreaded writer's block, oh how I loath thee. I guess it's better to take the update score hit than to suffer lower content score for "boring" day-log entries. I only write when inspiration strikes, I write what I feel when I feel otherwise I write nothing.

Extras: (5/5)
You have tons. Maybe too much. I can almost promise you that some people don't ever get around to reading your entries.

  • Yes, I don't get the feeling that people in general delve too deeply into my entries. Most will read the most recent entry, an extra or two and if they like what they see, possibly come back on occasion. I guess it works out for me in a way. Many of those "extras" were once just "simple" entries that I evolved into an extra. I wanted to make it easy for those who visit to really get the feeling of who I am with a few simple clicks. This is what all those extras are for. The entries are variable, sometimes I have something profound that I need to say and others can be me just ranting, droning and/or rambling. A mixed bag to say the least.  

Content: (35/40)
Wow, before I say something offensive let me just say this..."FINALLY SOMEONE WHO CAN EXPRESS SOME FEELINGS"! You tell me exactly how you feel; even if it is how bad you want a piece of ass. Uhm, I hope that you're not overly expressive of being "undersexxed" around the ladies. If you are then I suggest you fucking stop. I mean of course you're a guy so it's expected but maybe if you stop looking or thinking about it so hard it'll cum (oops. come) your way. Just chill out man...the snacks will be delivered when you least expect them.

  • To briefly answer this question, no. I typically do not express things in "real life" the same way I do in this diary. I am a closed person, shy and quiet. If I am attracted to you, aside from me staring at you with puppy-dog eyes, 9 times out of 10 I would actually do nothing about it. This is the path I have taken most of my life and for the most part it has gotten me nowhere.

I'm in love with your most recent entries. I'd like to chat with you one on one sometime. 

  • drop me an email, we'll exchange IM's...

I think that you're an amazing guy and when you're not talking about sex you sound so intelligent. You'll make someone very happy one day. But you say that you're not the person you are in your diary. I believe that you are in a way that person but do you really want to be "him"? I bet you're a great guy...I married a shy guy and believe me I'm much more happier with him than I would've been with my ex who is a lot like the man horn dog I read in your earlier entries. If you keep writing like this (your most recent writing) I'll have no choice but to return. Best wishes.

  • First of all, thank you. When I started this diary I began with one premise, to be completely honest with myself. I've lived life long enough to know being a shy, quiet and nice guy will always get you the shortest end of the stick in life. It doesn't matter how you look, being that shy, timid guy will almost invariably get you looked over by women. There are only a handful of people with the ability to look to one's soul and accept you exactly for who you are and unfortunately I have not met a woman who is single that I am attracted to that possesses that quality. 
  • I also have a tenancy towards being a "nice guy". I give up my seat on the train to the elderly or some pregnant lady and it seems I'm the only one that does this. I donate blood on regular intervals. I tend to put other's needs before mine. I sit and watch idly as the woman whom I love marries somebody else, because I set her free and she did not choose to come back. The things I do, the sacrifices I make are all too often unsung. I don't expect a pat on the back, but it's human nature to take things and people for granted. When the good things you do start feeling empty and meaningless you start thinking "what is the point in all this?". You strive to be a noble person and you wind up becoming a doormat for people to walk on. This is what life feels like for me. If you constantly put others before you then you will always see yourself in last place, it's only natural.   
  • In the most basic sense, I am that nice, quiet invisible guy that nobody really cared to know, that nobody cared to pay attention to, the guy that was always in last. With that said I was faced with two choices. The first choice is to accept the kind of guy that I am, that I have become and accept the loneliness and solitude that comes with it. The second choice, is to change, to evolve to become something better than I was or at least try to. Much of what I wrote and what I continue to write is an exploration of that evolution. 
  • To achieve balance on a scale, weight must be placed in the opposing plate. Sure you can lift the heavier plate on one side or remove weight from the heavier plate to achieve balance. The lifting requires constant energy however and the release of that energy causes the scale to tip back to it's natural state. Removing weights on the heavier plate would be akin to losing substance, losing part of yourself. I did not want to lose who I am. I wanted to shift, redefine and perhaps recreate who I am. 
  • To do that I needed to tap the other, more primal parts of my being. To cut loose, to go crazy, to scream my frustrations out into the world, to declare what I want. I want to fuck, that primal basic instinct resides in me. Why hide it? Why be ashamed of it? The need is there and it is screaming to be fulfilled. There is no nobility in this desire. This is not for the betterment of myself or mankind. There is no need for it to be. My lust only seeks to fulfill itself as completely as possible.  
  • I had a need to be the kind of guy women paid attention to. It starts by thinking a certain way, then speaking that way, then finally acting that way. If you do this consistently for a long enough time, eventually you become that person. I don't want to be invisible, I don't want to be ignored, I want women to want me at the same level of intensity that I wan them. This kind of change does not come easy, but little by little it does come. I'm not nearly as shy as I used to be, but if I am to evolve into the kind of person that is attractive to women I think I still have a long way to go. 
  • I think I've rambled on long enough, hopefully most will get the point I'm trying to get across.

Grammar: (5/5)
It's just fine.

Return: (5/5)
Yes. I'll be back.

  • I'll be waiting... ;)

Bonus: (5/-) For your layout. I think it expresses who you are and fuck the other reviewers. I dig it.

  • Thanks for the bonus points, the layout is one of those things I've really worked hard on.

Total: (97/100)
Welcome to The Best of The Best

Favorites:
I honestly can't pick just one. Since I started reading your diary I've been hit with so many emotions. Some I can relate to you and others well they just left me horny as fuck. Seriously if you want to be taken seriously then you've got to put the REAL you out there and I think this latest entry really shows that you're doing that. I really applaud you for that. And I take that conceited bastard part back. You seem like a really nice guy and I wish you all the best.

  • I'll always do my best to put who I am or at least whom I perceive myself to be in my diary. I think we can take that as a given. Anyway thank you for your comments, your honesty, your appreciation and your best wishes. I also appreciate the high score despite your turn-off to some of my conceitedness. And finally, sorry I had to be overly critical of some of the past reviews conducted on your site. It bothered me and I just had to get it all out of my chest.

You have MissClimax to worship for completing your review.
