I'd known since I was about age 7 that I didn't feel the same way about the girls, the way I felt about the boys.
So I'd pretty much accepted that I was gay by that point.
One summer day in 1996 at age 13, I came upon a special issue Tiger Beat featuring the movie "Wild America" starring Jonathan Taylor Thomas, and an actor I'd never heard of before named - Devon Sawa.
One look at Devon's blonde angelic yet masculine features, gorgeous blue eyes, and full lips all wrapped up in that leather jacket, spotless white t-shirt, and tight blue jeans?
My heart actually leaped into my throat!
I'd had never (and still to this day have never) fallen so hard and so instantaneously in my life!
I immediately found every movie he'd done to that point.
I literally rewound the nude scene in "Now & Then" so much I wore out the VHS tape!
Devon disappeared for a bit after "Wild America" but I was very pleased to see him make a resurgence on TV.
And I was even more delighted to see that Devon, like a fine wine, has vastly improved with age.
And I was even more delighted to see that Devon, like a fine wine, has vastly improved with age.
He's not just beautiful anymore, he's now a very sexy, full-grown man.
But I still wax nostalgic for the boy I used to crush over.
And dreaming of him lying next to me in my bed, with him wrapped very tightly in my arms.
