Thank you Jack for saying that. However please bear in mind that I am not saying that I feel a close or real friendship with "all" members of the
Broke Straight Boys forum, past and present, only that I discovered much to my surprise that I have forged real, true friendships with a number of folks that I've met here. I've only met one in person thus far, Tampa, but hopefully in the near future I will meet more. There are others who I will never meet in person, but who I feel very close to both through the forums and through private encounters as well. Believe me, making "real" friendships through a porn website is something that totally blew me away, as I did not think it was possible, but I discovered otherwise.
And Jack, you do not need a personal invitation from me to message me. Feel free to message away. I do not always agree with what you say, or how you say it, but I do try to keep an open mind, whenever possible, and I most certainly will read and respond to whatever you have to say to me.
Good morning, MikeYank (I feel the Y deserves capitalized, being the season is a mere few days away, and your boys are no longer the highest-salaried team; swine Dodgers!)
First, allow me to express my most sincere appreciation for your addressing me as Jack. That is a more personal exhibition of respect I admire and give myself to those who have shown me they understand respect on a give and receive (never give and take) basis.
MikeYank, I have no desire to meet anyone in the forum here. To me, this is not my life, and it certainly is not my business. I check this site out mainly for a particular form of tutelage from Johnny's incredible producing/directing prowess. I critique each scene, not for anyone else's approval or disapproval, but for myself, as if unloading a detrimental onus off my shoulders and apart from my heart. You, as well as those I mentioned, including Tampa (I do not know how I managed to omit him from my aforementioned list) can certainly understand this.
I participate in the forums, again to glean some sort of knowledge from the comments on each forumite's perspective and perceptions on a particular scene. As you well know, I do so more often than not with a challenge demeanour so I can learn, not so I can be attacked.
I am pleased you have found online "friends" more than you realize. Some of seek friends in diverse places and find them in the most unusual ways and means. As you may have suspected already, I hardly have any friends at all, as I pretty much live an eremitic lifestyle beyond conducting my business and chairing grief counseling. I do not seek understanding or criticism on this matter, either. Nothing shall stay me from living my life as I choose. Suffice it say, I probably put too high a bar of expectations for someone to become a true friend in the sense of the word. Ergo, I have countless good and decent associates on either side of the camera, including some of the lads who model for me, but I refuse to get close to any one person (the ones I did - my only child, my beloved wife, and Pup) are all gone now, so I move forward with my life and my concerns.
Now, as I am confident you are more than willing to do, how about we get back on track with the forum thread!? I am anxious to see Tyler's next vid. What do you think?
