Personal Journal

Yes, it’s that time of year again! Cybersocket Award Nominations are up – and in order to qualify for a particular category you must be first nominated for it.

Look, if I was completely schizo (no offense to those of you who are, and my mom, either. Schizophrenics are very colorful people. That’s meant to be a compliment!) I would beg all of you to nominate me for a handful of categories. Become divided and we will be conquered. So lets all agree to focus our efforts in one momentous direction: BEST PERSONALITY.

Personality because one of the most prevalent comments I receive everywhere is how much all of you like me because you view me as more than just an adult star. Well, my friends and lovers, now is the time to put your money where your mouth is. And the beauty of it is: this time, it won’t cost you shit but a few taps on the keyboard and a click of the mouse. Oh, and maybe a little time. But you’re already here so I figure you’ve got time to waste anyhow

I do realize I haven’t taken every opportunity to share as much with you as I have in the past, but as you can see I’ve made a concerted effort to remedy that in recent days with the video blog and regular postings here on the website. Although I would have you know doing these things has absolutely nothing to do with winning awards as it does anything else (My ego! Hello?!) Then there’s the twitter page, where I’m constantly spewing off the first thing that comes to mind (even if occasionally it gets me in trouble, or it’s not the most pleasant thing to contribute!).

All I’m really trying to say is . . . Please? Please will you nominate and then vote me as Cybersocket’s 2011 Best Personality?! Maybe then I’ll start believing all of you when you declare I’m more than just a porn star in your eyes

NOMINATE BRENT CORRIGAN FOR BEST PERSONALITY HERE

It’s the 7th category down on the RIGHT SIDE. And make sure to verify your vote by clicking the link they send you in your e-mail. Only then will your nomination count! When the actual voting for the award begins I’ll surely remind you of the final step.

Thank You!

Your Friend and Lover,
Brent Corrigan

Sharing is caring!  Sometimes I do normal things, like go to the zoo with my boyfriend. Papi and I went here in San Diego; which is world renowned. They just renovated a 7 acre elephant complex (but none of the pictures we took with the real ‘phants were any good).

Not surprisingly my favorite was the Zebras. They were very curious of us on this visit and I got to pet one of the stallions! They had two males and two females in the enclosure. These are Grevy’s Zebras. It is believed that there are only 2,200 left in the wild today. They’re losing out to humans in the competition for their land. The zebras are being crowded out of their grazing habitat by livestock. Furthermore, irrigation for farming is draining water from their land, and they are competing for water with livestock at waterholes, both of which are leaving them with less to drink.  Not to mention, domesticated animals have introduced diseases that have further plagued the species.  I’ve always fantasized about having a herd of zebras on my front lawn of my compound when I’m old, gray and retired. I suppose that doesn’t help much with rehabilitating their numbers in their natural habitat. Probably not a real possibility, but a boy can dream, can’t he? Did you know that if you breed a zebra with a horse the offspring’s stripes come out the color of the horse it was sired from?

It was a beautiful, pleasant afternoon here in San Diego.  Today we’re off to the Japanese Friendship Garden and the Art Museums. They are all free entry this Tuesday!  I’ll take pictures with my new camera. We used the small snapshot for these pictures. The ones we take today should be considerably better in quality.

Much Love,
Brent

Thank You to everyone who voted to make me TLA’s Performer of the Year for 2010!

The TLA Gay Awards are determined by fans and viewers that place their votes. This is a great accomplishment and I feel extremely honored and lucky to have a faithful, loyal fanbase willing to take the initiative.  There were many more active and certainly more qualified contenders in the race which doubly adds to my amazement for receiving this acknowledgment. Nonetheless, I am greatly appreciative!

There has been a lot of buzz surrounding the awards this year pertaining to the adult industry. It looked like for the longest time GayVN was not going to be scheduled; and when they finally did they were pushed so far back to the end of the year they mind as well have just taken the year off altogether. Not to mention: They have dropped many of the categories that I originally qualified for.

And then of course there are The Grabby’s. I’m still working hard to digest some of my confusion there. Big Easy was completely ignored and did not receive one nod. I’m not sure if that’s because 1) It was released too early in the year to be considered (there are many who theorize DVD’s released earlier on are ignored) 2) It was not nearly as good as I thought it was when I broke down in tears of elation upon wrapping the shoot that October 3) Someone very influential in the process simply did not favor it.  The struggle for me here is that Working Hard, a DVD that released after the first of the year and should have have qualified, is up for many awards. I can’t help but wonder if some of this decision is illustrated in an e-mail I received from one of the producers several months back when I chided readers and fans on my old blog for not supporting me with the purchase of the DVD Big Easy.

Who am I kidding, I filmed three projects last year and released only two. For how little I have been filming it’s a wonder I’m still even considered valid. I think the most fascinating element to all of this is that I’ve managed to prove you don’t have to jump at every on-camera opportunity to keep your name on the tip of your fans’ tongues.

From an industry stand point, those of us producing and hoping we’re favored, we do try hard to be realistic about it. I feel award shows are important because it gets us all together to love and relate to one another.  The truth is, winning awards doesn’t sell you more so you can produce more. It’s a nice credential. A nod from our world acknowledging we’re hard workers and sometimes our ingenuity and good casting is worth more than the dollar signs applied to it. A kick of spice to add when they write that article about you.  Now, I’m not saying they aren’t important!  Most of the time, these awards are about driving interest and traffic toward the source of the award in the first place. Which is why now I’m going to do my part and link you in to TLA.com to show my appreciation:

GO TO TLA.COM AND BROWSE

But don’t forget, if you end up in Porn Land over there, you can see all of those DVD titles and the scenes available therein as a VIP Member here on my website. Except of course, Getting Levi’s Johnson.

Once again Thank You for the TLA Gay Award!
