In an effort to get back on my more regimented and organized work schedule, I'm gonna post goals of the week for the month of October. From there, it may just become a regular occurrence. Some of them will be work and/or cam related. Others will be general life goals or things I need to get done. I've found, and I believe studies show, that when you make a goal or desire public, you're more likely to own up to that goal, etc. because it's known to the world. So here are some goals for this week:

Online Goals:
-Get back in the top 1% of guys
-Get back into the top 5 guys
-Get in the top 100 models lifetime (currently 109)
-Work at least 30 hours
-Make Wednesday's bonus ($100 for hitting 10k credits)
-get into the top 5 viewer's choice
-Post a fan club update on Friday

Life Goals:
-Get my passport (appt tomorrow)
-Finish decorating my bedroom
-Find a new TV stand
-Go to the gym 4 days
-trim my hair
-decide on Halloween costumes (also work related)

Feel free to badger me about my goals when I'm online, message repeatedly, or tweet incessantly to make sure I get them done. The help will be appreciated. I'll update you on how I did next week. And post a fresh set of goals. See you soon!

I don't plan on slowing down either. My current standings (As of 1:21 ET on 10-6-2014) are as follows:

Overall: 4th (worth $500)
Webcam Veteran Category: 2nd (1st gets $500)
Viewer's Choice: 8th (1st gets $1000)
Group Shows: 6th (1st gets $300)
Party Chat: 2nd (1st gets $300)
Fan Club: 5th (1st gets $100)

These are the areas I'm focusing on. I'd love to move up a spot (or 2?) overall. I really want to take first in my category of Webcam Veteran. I may not be able to take #1 over the entire site, but we can be #1 out of the Webcam Veterans for sure. It's the same competition for the Party Chat category. While I don't know how far ahead the competition is, we have some pretty large groups and I'd like to see how we move up as more fan club memberships come in. That DOES NOT mean I'm going to stop using fan club memberships as a reward. I appreciate all the love and support and do what I can to return it how I'm able :) I'm excited for the journey ahead over the next few months. I'm sure we can do some big things. Let's show them how the Max Hughes Crew does things. See you soon!

For those of you unaware, or unsure of where, I have moved this past week. I know I've been talking about a move to California for a while. However, I've postponed such an adventure until after the holidays and am currently planning that for next spring. I've moved mere minutes away from my previous apartment and am still in Pennsylvania. I am now enjoying a more spacious townhouse where I hope to get a dog now that I'm able. So, life is good! Minus the fact that I wasn't around much the past week do to the move. I want to extend a special thanks to those who caught me the few times I was on and showed some love. Another big thank you to all of you who voted for me in Viewer's Choice during those times and an even BIGGER thanks to those of you continuing to vote on days I wasn't even online. Your votes have kept me in the top 10 which is amazing for the amount of time I've been away. That leads us into our Flirt of the Year announcement.

Last year I entered Flirt of the Year as #98 (or thereabout). This year, I'm starting off at #4. So...it's been a great year.

I took it a little easy the past two weeks. I'm not gonna lie about it. Some might even say I was a little lazy. But now, I'm feeling refreshed and hungry. We're coming up on a slew of big things, but one of the biggest is a surprise. Tomorrow, Monday the 22nd, is a big top 2 contest for the guy's side. The #1 guy for the day is taking home $1000, automatically becomes model of the week, and gets a special badge. Second place gets $500, which is cool, but I'm going to be bold and say: We don't care about second place. We've put up a good fight for $1000 days in the past, but were just shy. We're a team that keeps getting to the finals but doesn't quite clench the championship. But guess what? We keep getting there. I'm going to be online for AT LEAST 20 hours tomorrow. I hope to see people I wouldn't normally. I hope to see familiar faces, long lost friends, and anyone else who wants to show love and support. There's a strong possibility for intense competition, even though it's a Monday. It will have to be a BIG day. I'm going to do everything I can. As always, top fans get rewarded with private time, fan club memberships, and maybe even a special video. The better we do, the more people that get rewarded. Let's take home a championship.

Our second reward is usually free private time. This isn't "Oh thanks for the thousands of credits today, if you wanna go private later I'll give you 5 minutes free after your first 15". No. Top fans on big days get totally free private time. I do this through Deal Codes. If you're not familiar, feel free to ask. The code is entered at the beginning of private and allows you 10, 15, 20, etc minutes for free before it reverts to my normal rate. There is no asterisk there. But there is one (or two, or the double one they do for a second set of stipulations) here:

*I ask that you use any free private time on a non contest day. A really easy way to do this is to schedule the show with me. I LOVE scheduling shows in advance. I kind of love being organized.

**As a standard, these Deal Codes expire a month from being set up. I feel this is plenty of time to come around and use them. It's nothing personal, but I don't hound anyone about using them. I'm generally just too busy to do so. So use them! If absolutely necessary, I can work out an extension/new code if you were away for some time.

*** As a favor, let me know when you're going to use a code. This lets me have my room set accordingly.

I really enjoy the great times had in my room. It's also fun to have one on one time with someone who may have been brand new or doesn't go private often. The rewards will keep up as the love keeps coming! Thanks to all of you that show me love and support. I really do appreciate you all.

I do everything I can to reward those who are so gracious and kind to me. In this crazy webcam world we frolic and gallivant around, it's easy to go from room to room and model to model. I've grown to expect it, even from fans who are really supportive through words and/or credits. It happens. I'm not even offended. While I would LOVE to be everything to everyone, that's impossible. Even trying to do that would be a terrible idea for someone here. It's best to know your role. Which I like to think I do.

That being said, I often reward the most supportive fans, especially on contest days. While this is usually posted in my room, there is the off chance I sneak someone some Fan Club love or the like. While we usually have a big show to end a big contest, I like to go above and beyond for those that do the same.

What I feel I never really did is set up guidelines for these rewards.

Fan Club membership doesn't really have any guidelines. You get the amount of time. It runs out. You either join again through my bio, or through another reward, or you don't (blasphemy!). I could ask that while you're my "fan" that you don't support anyone else, but that's too "crazy boyfriend" for me. I reward you guys for things you've done. If you keep doing them, AWESOME. If not, no hard feelings. Sometimes it's a one night stand. Thank you regardless.

I'm going to rest up Saturday and see you all again around midnight for Sunday's top 5 contest where each guy will take $200. Regardless of how Friday goes, let's take this one too ;) It won't be another 16 hour day, but I foresee at least 12 total. Because, at the end of it, I don't want to just find myself a place on the top spots of these contests but on the VERY TOP spot. The Max Hughes Crew is that kind of crew. So let's show everybody this weekend.

Fan Club Members: Be on the lookout for our update this Friday and be here next Monday for our Member's Only Monday show! If you're not a member yet, it's 400 credits for a month of Membership. You get all of the exclusive content currently there, updates every other Friday, and Member's Only shows every other Monday. Feel free to join via my bio or ask any questions.

Thank you all as always. I have faith that I can take a couple days off to enjoy life and not have to worry about ranking or surviving when I get back to work. I really appreciate that. I'm looking forward to an exciting weekend ahead. See you there!

As many of you know, it's rare that I take more than a day off at a time. Much less an entire weekend. Much less an extra day on top of that because I was more worn out than I thought. But, seeing as how all those things did happen this previous weekend, I was very grateful to come back to some amazing love and support. Thanks to those of you who welcomed me back, and a special thanks to those that kept in touch while I was gone.

While I'm off tonight, I will be back tomorrow night (Thursday) and we will be having our Prime Time Group Chat at 9PM Eastern. This is our weekly half hour show where it's only 25 credits to get in so that everyone can experience a show in my room. So bring a friend and we'll have some fun ;)

Friday and Sunday are contests days. Friday is the big one where top 4 guys take home $400. I'm hungry for this one. Especially after not being around for last Saturday's contest. I will be putting in 16-18 hours on Friday. We will be taking this one down. Come show some love and support as every bit counts. As always, there will be opportunities for free private time and fan club membership to be had.

In an effort to always be returning the crazy love you guys show, I'm giving out free private time and fan club members to today's top fans!

Top 10 Fans of the day get free private time and 1 month of fan club.
First - 20 minutes in Private
Second - 15 minutes in Private
Third - 10 minutes in Private
Fourth - 10 minutes in Private
Fifth - 10 minutes in Private
Sixth through Tenth - 5 minutes in Private

Those placing eleventh through twentieth will get a two week preview of fan club.

Not only that, but in group and party chats, there are extra chances at private time and extended fan club memberships by being the top fan in those. Keep an eye out!

Besides all the above, I've also set a few bounties for the daring and dangerous:
8,000 credit tip - 2 months of fan Club and an hours worth of private time.
15,000 credit tip - 6 months of fan club. 1 free show a week for a month (30 min max. Non contest days)

Any private over 10,000 credits will get 30 minutes free :)

Today's a HUGE day. I'll be here til the very end AND after. I don't just leave when it looks like we've won. And besides, we've got another BIG contest day show to do at midnight when we hit our goal, right? Thanks for all the love and support. Let's take the Max Hughes Crew to another #1 victory!

Labor Day! Monday is the monster. The top two guys will take home $1000. If you can only be part of one day, make it Monday. We're shooting for our BIGGEST day ever. With that, I have the confidence that we can not only take it down, but really make a statement and take #1. Again ;)

All in all, winning each contest would total $1400. Which is amazing. Taking first everyday will bump that up to $1550. It's a big challenge and a tall order, but let's take that $1550!

Don't worry about me never resting, I'm planning on crushing it this weekend so I can have a nice 3 day vacation next weekend for my friend's wedding. So let's party hard these last days of summer and crush it like only the Max Hughes Crew knows how.

Looking forward to many more good times and personal record breaking. It's sure to be another wild weekend full of debauchery, dancing, and laughs. I'm feeling really good about this one and KNOW it will one NOT to miss! I can't thank you all enough for all the love and support, especially on these hug days. As always, there will be plenty of chances to earn FREE Private time and Fan Club Memberships. Let's do this!
