TWAT!

Does anyone else think Twitter is as strange as I do? I mean, I understand its basic use as a networking tool for the internet.  But recently I have noticed people using it more for chatting back and forth and also letting their "followers" know what they are doing at every moment of their lives, as if their every movement in their day to day is SOO important.  I know the whole idea of Twitter is to get as many "followers" as possible, but some people have allowed this phenomenon to consume their entire existence. 

Now, I am mainly talking about the gay adult industry involvement with Twitter...These boys who just chat on it alllllll day loooooong.  They truly find their daily lives so important that they need to let everyone know what they are doing every hour of the day and night.  Now, I'm not saying I have not tried to involve myself with Twitter and "twat" about my day or when I'm headin to the gym or whatnot, but I just can't seem to stick with it because I find it odd.

Why don't these guys and girls and trans just Text each other privately?? I'll tell you why...they Want the attention of their "followers" to follow and watch them communicate with each other.  Its as if they have finally found their place in this world where they finally belong and feel important and accepted. 

Because lets face the reality here, the large majority of dudes in the gay porn world weren't exactly the most popular guys growing up (it's exactly the same as dudes in fraternities, they were the dorks in high school who realized they could become "popular" by joining a frat and obtain that feeling of acceptance). At least that was my experience and view on the dorks in the frats at my university.  Twitter is like the frat that these boys in porn are a member of and they can all be a part of this group that makes them feel like they are finally part of something important.

Another analogy would be to compare true "celebrities" and their world wide fans to gay porn actors and their fans.  As a society, the US and even the world has become so involved in wanting to be part of celebrities lives, we have tons of reality shows with celebrities as well as these TERRIBLE shows like TMZ and Access Hollywood, Celebrity Rumors.  Its come to a point where not one celebrity in the movie or music or TV industry can live a private life anymore except for the few who CHOOSE to live their lives privately. Those are the people I respect and who honestly are the more successful in their careers and are classier in my opinion.  Not parading around in public trying to create attention for themselves just to get air time on some sad TV show or make the cover of a gossip magazine.  The same goes for performers in the porn industry these days. Fans want to be a part of these performers lives and they can by following them on Twitter or becoming a "friend" on Facebook.  These young men who go out every weekend and choose to twat about who they are hanging out with and what they are wearing and where they are gonna be.  Its like they are just trying too hard, when did our culture become so narcissistic?  I mean, I do own up to my own narcissism, but I draw the line when it comes to announcing to the world when I'm going out or hanging out with a close friend. 

True story, I was in SF to make a film, and I asked a co-performer whom I had just met that day if he wanted to go grab a burger for dinner since he did not know the city well.  First of all, all the kid could do at dinner was talk about himself, as if i was interested in this little twink's life and how he str8 but does this for the money (RIIIIGHHT). He was also on his phone while we were eating which was cool by me, cause it was finally some time without his blabbering.  Until I recieved a notifiation on my phone that someone had twatted about me.  Well come to find out, it was this Dork that I had offered to eat with since he didn't know where to get dinner and he had twittered that he was having dinner with Kyle King.  Now I didnt bring anything up to him about it, but I just could not believe that this dude actually twatted that we were eating together.  What disturbed me was the fact that he did not ask me first if i wanted to be twittered about and the fact that he is just trying to gain followers and status that he is hanging out with me.  Because lets face it, i didn't even know his name, let alone, remember it now. I just find it SAD, these forgettable names who have to exploit my name to gain popularity in this false reality they live in.  It's like if I were asked out to dinner with a Major A List Artist like Anthony Hopkins and all I did was Twitter about it the entire time.  It is just uncalled for and shows no class.
I have many close friends in this porn industry and I would NEVER twat about when we hangout because it's nobody else's business.  I don't need to Look for attention.  I get it by being myself and not following the herd like a sheep.

In closing, Twitter, as a form of keeping in touch with others just isn't for me I guess.  I use it as a business tool for my future website and career in the porn industry.  But as a tool for communicating with other twatters and allowing the world to see what I'm doing just does not appeal to me.  I would rather keep my life more private.

Thank You.
