I took this in my back yard
with my cell phone a few minutes ago.
It's just starting to get light.
This is not going to be one of my usual blog posts - filled with wit, charm, humor, and unending interest. Instead, I'm going to ramble aimlessly in no discernible direction - saying whatever pops into my mind.
Hey, Jon - we thought that ALL your blog posts ramble aimlessly, with no discernable direction.
Well, then you haven't been reading them carefully.
First off, here's a private message to sweet Brian.
Congratulations! Your recent efforts to solve my mystery would make Hercule Poirot proud (let's keep it our secret).
I usually don't leave private messages on a public blog, but what the heck.....
Is privacy a thing of the past?
Speaking of mysteries and privacy, I recently happened to visit my Google profile - which I haven't visited in at least five years (I hate the entire concept of "profiles"). I was alarmed to see that my full name is listed. I never intended that to happen (must have been drunk or something). I was even more horrified to see that my profile has over 16,121,015 views (I'm not kidding).
This must mean that 16,121,015 people know my real name. Slightly unnerving.
Question: who the hell are these people, and why the interest in me? Heck, I can't even get ten people to read my damn blog.
Jon, you always claim that you're a very private person - and yet you have a very public blog. What gives?
Don't try to get cute with me. I'm undoubtedly an armchair exhibitionist. There's no known cure.
Yesterday, on a mere whim, I Googled my name and came up with something extraordinary.There is a gay porn star with my exact name, and he makes films in Budapest. No lie.
Upon further research I discovered that this dude isn't Hungarian. He was born in America and is of Latin descent.
Just for the record, I don't think he's even remotely good looking. Hey, it's a matter of taste (no pun intended, of course).
And he's short. He's endowed, but he's short.
Gay porn star with my name
The name is where the similarity ends.
I'm 100% Hungarian. And, so far as I can remember, I haven't made any gay porn films. Well, none in Budapest, anyway.
I've admittedly had chances. When I was young and hot and living in Hollywood I knew Bob Mizer. He was the pioneer in gay erotica (Google his name).
I wrote an entire blog post about this in Lone Star Concerto but I doubt if anyone remembers. Or wants to.

Moi? Young and hot in Hollywood
Just for the record - ALL of my photos, graphics, & documents are stored on my old desktop computer - - which I haven't bothered to unpack yet (I'm still using my laptop). I had to borrow this photo from my old blog.

Probable precipitation?
It rained all day yesterday. The cold wet weather forced me to cancel a previously planned outdoor excursion.
This morning I got up at the unwholesomely early hour of 5:00 and it was snowing. Everything is blanketed in white.
My cat Scratch - who never goes outside - ran out the front door when I opened it to see the snow. She didn't want to come back in and I had to run on a wild snowbound goose chase to get her.
The mountain life is seemingly agreeing with everyone.
Scratch - - reluctantly back inside
scratch wanted to see the snow.
ReplyDeleteShe's a regular snow bunny.
DeleteAt least you get something human when you Google your name. When I try it, "Geo." gets me old cars and Canadian chainsaws.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather be an old car than a porn star. Maybe.
DeleteI would jump on that porn as if he were a bouncy house.
ReplyDeleteA bouncy house??
DeleteDidn't watching Scratch discover the snow put a big smile on your face? (That is, until you had to chase her!)
ReplyDeleteIt's supposed to be 78-degrees in Phoenix today, so please enjoy your precip on my behalf?
I'm surprised at how much Scratch likes the cold weather.
DeleteJon,
ReplyDeleteAll your posts are fabulous, structured or not. You have that talent to make anything interesting. Ånd of course your life, past and present is endlessly fascinating to me. I don't know why, maybe it's because of your honesty and self deprecation but what I do know is that I always enjoy reading your posts. By the way, you do have a "porn" name. And a good one I might add. At least it's not "Johnny Wad."

Ron, we share the same penchant for writing exactly as we think - with no apologies. It's a gift.
DeleteJon,
DeleteYou are so right. I do write exactly as I think much to the chagrin of Bill and some of my friends who prefer to be more private. Of course I don't write EVERYTHING out of respect to some of my followers who I don't want to offend although what I hold back I don't think is offensive nor am I ashamed of anything I've done or am doing (yes, I continue to be a bad boy re my recent sojourn in California). No apologies, it's the only way to live. Pisses some people off but there it is. I am what I am, no lies here only omissions to protect innocent ears.
Ron
Wish it would snow here instead of rain all the time. You should have let Scratch enjoy the snow, ha. Nice and sunny here, but a little cool. Take care not to fall down the hills. Jean
ReplyDeleteAfter my first muddy fall I've been trying to be more careful.
DeleteYou have to watch that an eagle doesn't swoop down and make the cats their dinner...
ReplyDeleteBlogs have a tendency to reveal more than we want. It's the nature of writing. We open a vein. Yet privacy is always a concern online. You never know who might be lurking. Snow is always fun to play in. Glad Scratch enjoyed herself. Chasing her down was a chore, I know. But you're both back inside now where it's nice and warm. ENJOY the view.
ReplyDeleteA cat who likes the cold? I hope she at least has a nice thick coat. Our cats like to be nice and toasty warm. In fact, Dash likes to sleep under the bedcovers with us... and she has long hair!
ReplyDeleteIn today's world, I kinda think privacy is an illusion. Especially online.
