Never Judge A Book By It's Cover!

Sometimes I don't know what to think of this world. Especially this crazy ass place we call home...the good ole' US of A. Today I was flipping channels when I saw a familiar face and I froze in my tracks. Apparently, a young man who goes by the name of Keyontyli Goffney (and his twin brother) is a suspect in a string of over 40 'rooftop robberies'.

First, let me backtrack to yesterday's mail. I sauntered downstairs to my mailbox and was delighted to see that my quarterly 'Clik' magazine had arrived. Needless to say I was devastated to see Ari Gold on the cover. You see, Clik magazine is supposedly America's #1 Black Gay Lifestyle magazine. So why the hell is Ari Gold (a white Jewish man) on the cover? Trust me, that's a whole 'nother blog. Suffice it to say that I wasted no time in emailing the editor-in-chief of Clik magazine to express how I felt.

Anyways, inside the new issue of Clik magazine is a six-page spread of an up and coming openly gay black male model. Guess who? None other than Mr. Keyontyli Goffney. Now, I've been following this young man's career for at least 3 years now. He started out in gay porno pictorials, then did some internet pron and I think a movie or two. He even did a nude pictorial with his twin brother, Taleon, which caused quite a stir in the black glbt/sgl communities about two years ago or so.

Then today, I see the fool on the news as an alleged burglar. Not just any burglar mind you, but the locally infamous 'rooftop burglars'. According to local police the twins and possibly another accomplice have robbed up to 40 or so businesses in Philadelphia, Delaware and New Jersey by hacking their way through rooftops with axes, hammers , etc.

I think part of the reason this really upsets me is because I'm a very average-looking gay guy. I'm the one who has to rely on his style, charm and wit to meet guys. This guy, being the looker he is, only had to walk out the door. He has God-given beauty and according to online sources was making a good living as a legitimate model in the last year or two. Why on earth would he jeopardize all that to rob small businesses!?!

I tell you, I just don't understand most people and I don't think I ever will. All I can say is never, ever be jealous of anyone because of how they look, or what they have because you never know how they got it or what they're doing to keep it. I'm glad for my average looks, my above-average intelligence and my simple life. I thank God for peace of mind and for clarity about my purpose here on this earth.
