I was made fun of and bullied throughout school and I thought I got past that.

Well, a few years ago, this strange thing started happening.  

I once posted a picture of me standing next to The Incredible Hulk himself, Lou Ferrigno, at a convention, on a post he had on Facebook.

Now I post pictures of myself with celebrities I’ve met and pictures of concerts I’ve gone to because I like to share them with people.

Well, this one time, two people were conversing back and forth with each other saying I looked like Ron Jeremy.

Now, 20 years ago, I may have taken that as a compliment.

I don’t anymore because this former porn star is spending life in prison on rape charges.

That is not funny.

Even though I was offended, I just took it as two jerks on Facebook ridiculing me and left it at that.

Well, a few years later, I go to another convention and one of the celebrities I meet is Kane Hodder.

Kane is most known as playing Jason Voorhees in four Friday The 13th movies and has done a lot of other work.

I’ve become more of a horror movie fan in recent years and became a fan of Kane during this time.

I got my picture taken with him, which was great.

I went to a Q&A that he was involved in and was lucky enough to ask him a question about one of the movies I really like that he did, which was Jason X. 

He told me about the making of it and I liked his answer a lot.

I ended it by saying that I thought he was great.

He said thank you and then in front of this fairly sized audience said in reference to me and I quote “Ron Jeremy ladies and gentlemen”.  The crowd started to laugh but then went “Oooooooohhhhhhh”.  

I was taken aback but did not say anything and once the Q&A was over, I honestly did not even give it a second thought, even though initially I was shocked, and just let it go.  And Kane has a smart ass sense of humor so I took it as that at the time.

Well, some time later, I went to a gas station to get gas like I have so many times.  I went inside to pay for the gas and right after I did and was leaving to go pump the gas into my car, this gas station cashier said and I quote “have a nice evening Mr. Jeremy” and snickered.  Again, I did not say anything but I wanted to.

I was hoping that was the end of this ridiculous comparison.

Well, yesterday, July 16 of 2024, I posted a picture of me and former Lynyrd Skynyrd drummer Artimus Pyle at a show he and his great band, The Artimus Pyle Band, did the previous week, on Lynyrd Skynyrd fan group on Facebook.   

I was just wanting to show this picture to share it with fellow fans, and what do I get?  Someone said and I quote “is that Artie with Ron Jeremy? Lol”.

Where does this come from?  I know I’m overweight.  I know I have messy hair and am losing it day by day.  I know I have a mustache which apparently to some is not acceptable in society anymore.

But does that make me look like this guy spending life in prison on rape charges?

If you want to compare me to someone, compare me to someone who has done positive things or better yet, don’t compare me to anyone.

I know I need to lose weight and hopefully I someday will be skinny again.  But if I’m not, skinny again, then I just won’t be. 

Someday I’ll get a hair cut again.  Maybe I’ll even be completely bald someday. 

I occasionally shave off my mustache, but I do love my mustache too.  Is that a crime?

So my question is:  do you honestly think I look like former porn star Ron Jeremy?

If you think yes, then please unfollow me on all social media platforms I’m on and if you have my number, please lose it.

I can’t believe I’m actually typing this nonsense, but I felt I had to because it is something that really bothers me and I don’t like it.

I’m almost 42.  This is not school anymore.  And I’m way too old for this crap.

This is what I get when I try to do something fun and positive.  I get insulted.  So much for showing something fun and positive.

Don’t worry about me.  I’m just insulted that I’m still being bullied/insulted like I was when I was in middle school or high school.  One of many reasons why I hated school and always will.

OK rant over.

Please comment because I want to know what you think.

I’m not posting any pictures on here, so if you need to see what I look like, then look on my socials and other posts on this website.
