Long bio: I’m an American blogger starting a new life in Buenos Aires, Argentina. You can check out my progress here, in the BA Life category.
Before Argentina, I was a sometime amateur pornographer who lived in Europe, mostly in Prague, Czech Republic for five years. I’m not so good with dates or being able to discern time passing. In Prague, I was a tour guide, a pimp, a procurer, an agent, a pornographer, but mostly what I became was a writer. Blogging had permanently, I hope, dislodged the writer’s block that had disabled me for many years in the U. S. Having an audience, fans even, provided some wonderful motivation. I often got to meet readers of my blog when they visited and some of them have become very good friends. (Hi Craig!)
Mostly, however, my life revolved around Prague’s rent boys. I loved them so much that hanging out with them almost exclusively resulted in my being evicted from my flat and spending a year homeless on the streets of Prague. Crazy, I know, but what’s even crazier is that despite the hardship and sleeping rough, I was deliriously happy. (Thanks for the adjective, Manchester Lee!) You can begin to read the whole story here, although there’s a big gap. I’m slowly working on moving the posts from blogspot to this blog. Anyway, you’ll meet so many characters and so many boys, it will be hard to keep track. I know it sometimes is for me.
I’m not blogging here on HSB at the moment but you can read my scary story from the first day until the last.
