Johnny is on his way to California today. Unfortunately, I won’t see him until Sunday as he’ll be camping with Scott someplace until then. Fortunately, that gives me most of the weekend to get some work done. When that boy is in town my productivity comes to a slippery halt. While we’re together we will naturally do our best to make some fun videos and whatnot for the blog. You can count on me to be your personal paparazzo!! By the time he leaves I wouldn’t be surprised if he wasn’t speaking to me at all - ha ha ha!

This trip to California marks the beginning of a three week travelganza for Johnny. Naturally I will crack the whip while he’s within the reach of my switch, but it’s entirely possible that entries from him here will be few and far between unless I channel him via text messages, gin-induced visions and perhaps a post card or two. I wouldn’t worry though, we will create enough things while he’s here to keep Hazzard Ahead a worthwhile stop in your daily surfing while he’s off skipping continents.

Hey kids, have you ever wanted to be in pictures? Well, here’s your chance - sort of. With all the buzz about You Tube and other tubes we* thought it would be fun to have our own video showdown here on Hazzard Ahead. Truth be known we’re more likely to eat grocery store sushi than participate in any pop trend, but this is different. We love participation from our readers and what better way to express yourself than through streaming video?

Here’s the deal: Create a video featuring yourself and perhaps a few of your closest buds describing what it is that makes you a fan of Johnny Hazzard and/or his blog. You can do it through modern dance, a Shakespearean adaptation or even a sock puppet show. We encourage creativity so by all means shoot your video while coming down from a dangerous encounter with toxic cleaning chemical fumes! Submissions must be safe for all audiences or they cannot be displayed on this site**! Remember, Hazzard Ahead is for everyone (with an open mind, a big heart and a great sense of humor).

Please limit entries to three minutes in duration. Video files may be submitted in avi, mov or about any video format available using one of the following methods:

1. The fabulous online file transport service You Send It allows you to send files up to 1GB with a FREE account (but now it costs $2.99 for files larger than 100MB. It WAS free when I wrote this!). Send files to boywonder at hazzardxxx dot com.
2. You may send a data CD to me personally if your internet connection shrieks at the prospect of a major upload. The address is Jerrod Olson 311 N Robertson Blvd #497 Beverly Hills, CA 90211.

We will post our favorite videos here on the site. Of course, we can’t be sure anyone will even give a damn and submit, but you can be certain there will be no shortage of video here in any case. Yes, that’s right, the “prize” is publicity and the chance to appear here along side one of gay porn’s greats. OK, fine, maybe I’ll get Johnny to send a free vid or signed photo or something. I’m not making promises!

*Johnny doesn’t even know about this yet. I’m just really drunk on top of a massive Little Debbie’s sugar high and I can’t control myself.

** Videos deemed inappropriate for Hazzard Ahead viewers may be awarded with alternate recognition.

Hazzard Radio is finally here. Johnny and I each created playlists for the listening pleasure of our visitors. Let’s face it - one song is not enough! Especially when Johnny and I argue over which particular tune will be featured. Now we each get what we want!

Johnny’s channel features songs that have impacted him in his life. Soon he will tell you the story behind each one. My channel is all about peppy pop - songs that make me want to dance naked in a field of wild flowers. Well, more than I do naturally anyway.

Give the Radio button at the bottom of the menu a little click, sit back and enjoy reading about Johnny’s life with a soundtrack to match.

Johnny has been sick the past several days. All that travel and double shifts took their toll on our little porn prince. Personally, I thought he was angry with me for calling him a loser when he couldn’t find the new text in the About section. As it turns out he was just sleeping and hallucinating with fever. What a relief!

Johnny and I put together a lengthy story of how the two of us came to be friends. Check it out in the About section under Boy Wonder.

Today Johnny heard from James Collins, the guy that wrote the song “Spellbound” for Sherrie Lea. He found Johnny’s video on You Tube and wrote to say he was pleased that Johnny chose his song for some bootie shaking. How cool is that? Both the performer and composer have expressed their pleasure with Johnny’s participation in their art. How far we’ve come!

Now I know what you’re all thinking. When will we see the next Johnny Hazzard video? The plans are already in the works. I won’t say which song he’s chosen, but it is a personal fave of mine and considering the deep, sultry nature of the tune I can only imagine what hot moves Johnny has in store for us.

When that project comes to life I’m going to challenge Johnny to a dance off. We’ll pick a song and each do our thing and mix the results for your viewing pleasure. It’s all about having fun, kids.

Speaking of dancing, I’ve been reduced to having private dance parties in my bedroom and that just isn’t sufficient. So tonight I’m going to go out to Micky’s and see if their DJ has his shit together. At the very least I will have taken in a view different from that of my balcony, which is all I’ve had for the past six weeks.

Happy Father’s Day everybody!
