When I was trying to start my blog I decided to goggle my own name. It turns out there are a lot of people named Jeff Mann. The most famous Jeff Mann are on the right side with their pictures and a short bio. One Jeff Mann is a production designer and producer for movies such as Transformers, Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Tropic Thunder. That’s just fine I think that’s great that there’s a Jeff Mann that makes movies. The next Jeff Mann is a writer who has written a lot of books. The first problem I have with this is I hope to write a book or two and of coarse whatever book I wrote would be written by Jeff Mann. I can’t do that now because there is already a Jeff Mann writing books. Yes I Got A Name but I can’t use my own name
Like me you may say that you have never heard of a writer named Jeff Mann. There’s a reason for that . Jeff Mann has won an award for his writing. In 2006 he won the Lambda literary Award for Gay’s Men’s Erotica. That’s right Jeff Mann writes gay porn! Before you laugh too much I would suggest that you goggle your name and see if anyone is writing gay porn with your name. What to do next should I change my name. No I’ve got a better idea and believe it or not I got this idea from a real estate commercial I can become the Not Gay Jeff Mann! So when some one asks you did you read what Jeff Mann wrote the other day? And then you say you mean A History of barred wire? ( I’m not making this up that’s the title of one of Jeff Mann’s books) You can say not that Jeff Mann I’m talking about Not Gay Jeff Mann. OK maybe the whole Not Gay Jeff Mann is not that great of an idea. I suppose when I write my books they will have to be by Jeffrey Dean Mann. The problem with that is every time I look at my book and it’s by Jeffrey Dean Mann I will think that Mamas mad at me. That would make me one of those three name writers witch makes me appear to be a little snooty, but just plain Jeff Mann sounds friendly. Then again do I really have to change my name? The current Jeff Mann writes gay porn and I which will be the future writer named Jeff Mann will write Bible-based books. Some writers would call that ironic. But there would still be a possibility that people will get the two Jeff Mann’s mixed up. There’s a rule in the Screen Actor Guild that no two actors shall have the same name. For instance, Michael Keaton real name is Michael Douglas. I could see how that could be a problem but when Michael Keaton changed his name Michael Douglas was already a big star. How many of you knew that there was a gay porn writer named Jeff Mann before reading this? I have one more idea that might solve my problem, I could still be Jeff Mann but I could spell my last name with only one n. That would still make me Jeff Man I don’t know if that would work but it sounds like a better idea than Not Gay Jeff Mann! Of coarse none of this matters if I don’t get busy and write a book.
