*I shared this on my instagram post and I thought it would be appropriate to share it here and perhaps expand on it little more.
So here it is*
I have to say that I was naive and just ignorant about @chriszeischegg ; I had no idea he used to be an adult film performer. Knock on wood, right?
It was dumb of me not putting the two together. It just didn’t cross my mind that he used to do those things back then. At the time, the only thing I knew about him was that he wrote ‘The Magician’, that book I saw folks on here rave about, and that was it. I assumed Danny Wylde was his pen name. I thought he was an indie writer.
Before I met him in person on March 8th, Friday; an associate pulled their cell phone, showed me a clip of him bare naked with some lady having sexual intercourse. I pushed the phone away out of respect for myself and to Chris. I don’t know him personally, and I’m seeing this feller naked already. What the hell?!?! To me it’s disrespectful. I don’t want to watch someone doing it while I’m eating a sandwich. 🤣🤣. Say what you will, call me a prune, but I have to draw the line somewhere.
You can imagine the awkwardness and sheer horror and ignorance and nerves I went through, I was really nervous when I met him and his wife in person on March 8th for his book release party for ‘Creation’.
I was with @ssteventorress and @sebastian_albarran at the last projects building and I met @lukafisher (artist/subject of creation) and nice lady of the name of Maggie (his wife) and Chris; nervously smiling and I blurted out “DANNY WYLDE?!” I couldn’t pronounce his actual name, and the other one was easy to say.
I reckon he gave me a hug and that was really nice of him to do that. He was happy that I was there. I’m glad I showed up to support. I had a nice time there.
Even though he is a writer and used to do pornos, some folks get the impression that he might be a jerk or douche bag or joosh nugget (as I like to call someone who is prick), he’s actually genuinely nice person. I'm happy to call him my friend.
What a night that was!
Golly, I had a good time at @last_projects attending the party and seeing Luka Fisher’s art pieces.
There were Images of men and women in different position, naked, expressing each other and pleasing each other in a physical and emotional and seductive manner. Some pieces were violent and some were a little out there, interesting work. 👍.
I went to the back room with Sebastian and ordered a cup of wine. I was going to pay, but the drink was on him. Thank you, Sebastian. I owe you one. It was tasty, but didn’t really affect me cognitively, I was straight forward and paying attention to my surroundings like a trooper.
Steven, Sebastian, and I both went outside to take a breather, I sat on a chair by the window and they stood opposite me chatting about the experience and how awesome it is. I agreed with them. This is something far what I am used to. I never expected to be at place like last projects and to chat with different people. It is the little things that makes a person feel like they’re on cloud nine. I am shooting for the stars!
At any rate, this book—it has been quite a journey—reading for two months straight.
Started from March 8th to May 4th.
Jeez Louise, what a page turner this was. For a book like this I find it surprising that is the only book that has kept my attention, page by page; I don’t know what to say about this book other than engaging (although that would be an understatement and a de-service to this book)… when it comes to the unsavory writing in the book, it is not an easy read for sure, but Chris has done a great job on that. 👍
I took this book wherever I traveled to.
I took this book to school, to the park, to the kitchen, and to work.
I hid that book in my locker, waiting for me to take my 15 minute break and crack it open and read a chapter or two.
Accidentally, I’d stained curry sauce on the edge of the book, (I wish good reads had a feature where can I import images so I can show you all the stained edge) with my dirty ass fingers, eating and reading, during my 30 minute luncheon.
I went through the good and the bad and the funny times with this book
Best thing I read for two months straight!
