What do you do when it’s been a grueling summer and you need some cheering up? Why, you go and buy an expensive Ninja Slushi machine so you can stay fat and happy with sugary, alcoholic treats!

So, I survived Timerbell and Fornication Fan Fest 2025! It was four days of hot sun, big muscles, and bigger cocks.

The silver tag was my admission into the event. The black tag means I peddle my ass on the internet (not that anyone paid attention to that).

There were various porn stars there and I got to meet three of them … Dirk Caber, Johnah Wheeler, and Allen Silver. They are all super nice guys to talk to.

Allen Silver sat two seats down from me at dinner the first night. We ended up having a nice chat, and I got a photo with him. Eat your heart out, David! I wish I had gotten pictures with Jonah Wheeler and (especially) Dirk Caber.

The pool area at Timberfell is really nice. But, I stayed in the sun too long on Friday (!!!), which meant there was no pool for me on Saturday or Sunday. A bummer for sure since it was the major hangout space for everyone.

I was super jealous of this person’s inflatable Buc-ee!

The chalkboard in The Bathhouse always had good words of gay wisdom. Ha ha.

Ultimately, the best part of the trip was the IHOP breakfast I had after I left the campground on Sunday morning. You can’t go wrong with the Breakfast Sampler. Yum!

I did meet some nice locals and some cool guys from Atlanta and the Raleigh area. So, some friendships might form from meeting them over the weekend. That’s always a good thing!

I will say that I am looking forward to meeting up with Jim Stone, my friend who harassed me into going and that I stayed with, in a few days to get his final impressions regarding the event. I suspect he will have a favorable opinion since he filmed with multiple people.

So … what did I come away with? A nasty sunburn and no real networking with other content creators or any content created with other creators. It’s pretty disappointing, because it’s the whole reason I went. What kept it from happening? My looks? My shyness? Probably a combination of the two. I am the kind of guy who’s going to fall into the background because hotter guys are floating around. Oh well. It makes me question if I want to continue my content creation adventure if it’s destined to be a solo one.

Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. Ha ha. But, seriously … it’s been way too long since I have posted. This has probably been the longest I have gone without blogging since I started this ‘lil window into my mind back in 2002. My general outlook on life and the utter chaos of the world has really taken its toll on my ability to focus on anything other than keeping my head down and feeding my TikTok addiction. So, oh blog of mine, you have been one of the many things I have neglected this year because of my very poor mood.

I am off to the local (ish) gay campground this coming weekend for a content creator event. I am nervous as hell about it. I don’t feel like I function well in exclusively gay environments in the first place. And now, I am going to be somewhere for four days surrounded by guys who are way hotter than I and have been creating content with other content creators for a long time. My OF adventure so far has been a mostly solitary endeavor, so being around other hotter creators is probably going to make me very self-conscious.

Anyhoo … hopefully this is the beginning of getting back to it.

It’s been one month since Helene rolled through and upended the entire region here. To say that it will be years before some areas recover is a massive understatement. Personally, I don’t think we will ever have an accurate death toll from this disaster either. A week ago, I drove through a couple of the hardest hit areas in Asheville and I can tell you that no photo or video will ever prepare you for seeing that amount of damage and destruction in person. It was sobering and heartbreaking. I will forever say that we were so lucky in my neighborhood. It could have been so bad here if Helene had shifted further west.

As a Side Note: For years, I have seen people mark themselves safe from various natural disasters and events on Facebook. I never thought I would have to do it myself.

Duolingo gets. me.
