Back Home!
So now, I'll rewind a bit and let you know I had a fabulous time at ManHunt's annual x-mas party in Boston. My business partner Rich Richards and I nearly froze our Miami Beach butt's off, but once we got to the venue it was nice and warm. Of course, the company heated up the place. Not only are some of ManHunt's employees are hot, some of their guests sure made the party memorable! X-mas parties are all about free licquor, but with that, comes the consequences of tipsy party dares for shits and giggles. See Lisa and I compare boobs and butts in the bathroom. Then Lisa accidentally kicked the toilet paper and I just had to point it out, burp! The later it got, the more interesting photos Phil, Lisa and I started to take, although none stranger, at least I think, than me pointing out the toilet paper in the bathroom.
So after a fun night with the ManHunt crew we slept in a bit, ate, worked a bit and then headed to the ariport. My flight to London and Rich's flight to Miami amazingly took off at the same time!
There is not much to say about Berlin except I worked my ass off and it was the first time I did everything myself including filming 3 scenes and taking still photographs. Oh, also got caught riding the Berlin U-Bahn without a ticket....naughty me! ooooooops! Everything went pretty smoothly: all models showed up and liked their partners and my locations were all organized and were available when I needed.....a special thanks goes out to someone I cannot mention by name, but he knows who he is...thanks!
A quick flight to Paris and I landed in the old TWA terminal bringing back memories of my jet set youth. The design is so retro futuristic and always fun to re-experience every once in a while! I had one day to myself to do laundry, catch up on some e-mails, visit retailers and mail some screeners off.
My free day in Paris went well, but my shoot was in shambles! A model that also had a location did not answer his phone, ugh! So not only did I have to replace a model I also had to replace 2 locations at the last minute....and last minute it was! I found a replacement model literally 1 hour before a shoot and he turned out to be fantastic! (Thanks Marcos!) When the last shoot was done I was exhausted and pretty ready to fly home, but instead of flying to my home in Miami Beach I flew to my original home to be with mom. Oh, and on the flight home I saw the poor Arctic that seems to be suffering from global warming, yikes!
So now here I am typing this up at home in Northern California after an argument with my mom today about the fact that I do not have a normal job (she thinks an 8-5 is the only valid job out there) and that I am going to give my cousin some money, especially since I do not have a normal job so I don't have money and I have to take care of myself first. Anyone else out there find this logic weird? Anyway, not much happening until New Year's except my quick flight x-mas eve up to see my father in Oregon to spend x-mas morning with him and then fly back down to have another dysfunctional x-mas dinner here where the gays will outnumber the straights! YEE HAW!

Thanksgiving and stuff!
After a nice massage from my cousin everyone left including myself but not until the next day. I went down to LA for a few days to meet with people (business you know!) and meet up with a potential model that I really ended up liking...a lot! He is still not sure about doing porn, but after spending a few days with him I may have interest in him other than trying to get his gorgeous self onto film for me! Midweek I flew up to San Francisco for 1 day for a quick meeting and returned to LA to have more meetings before flying off to Oregon to spend 3 days with my dad (another interesting experience!).
So, dad is another complete whack ass experience also. He is as right wing of a Republican as you can get and is married to a quite liberal, but quite Christian woman. Amazingly enough dad and step mom know exactly what I do; they are just thankful I do not work for Hizbullah, the Lebanese government or even the CIA as they have thought for a long time now, so porn director was a relief for them! First, they live in the total outback, thus, no cell reception and they are working on a 56K modem! AHHHHHHH! so basically forced relaxation. I had to do some work so my stepmother dropped me off at a local coffee shop where the customers and staff were all trying to take a peak at what I was doing.......nosey butt heads! After several political arguments and a discussion of how my mother made my brother and I gay it was time to decompress and fly back to Miami for 2 days of work and rest before heading out to NY, then Boston then Berlin....more to come from Europe very soon!

Nicaragua Update
The following day I called a gay hotel called Joluva in the city of Granada (http://club-alegria.com/joluvanicaragua) to find out if they could help me out somehow and the nice owner promised he would. Since I was so over what happened Thursday and Friday night in Managua’s bar scene that I decided not to go out and get good rest instead. So on Sunday I made the quick beautiful drive down to Granada past volcanoes and lakes to talk to the owners of Joluva. Francis and Jan, the owners of Joluva, are a really nice Belgian couple that immigrated to Nicaragua a few years ago. I spent the day talking and laughing with them about all kinds of different things.
Jan told me a very interesting story of how he collected money from gays around the world to help out street kids in Granada. Basically, the local church runs a center for street kids and Jan and Francis wanted to donate a water tank and shower facilities so the kids could take showers. A very noble and wonderful idea, right? Wrong! The local Bishop found out the donation was coming from “our” kind of people and forced the center organizers to not only refuse any donations from “our” kind of people but to also not allow Jan and Francis to come near the center. So I know what you all are thinking, but come on, I spent much time with this couple and know they have no fishy ideas about their help, but rather found a cause in the city they immigrated to that they wanted to support. While I was at the hotel for 3 days I noticed that many street kids still come to the hotel asking for food or just simply clean water and Jan and Francis try to help them out but do not believe the kids should be coming to them directly for such help especially when there is a center. Go figure, the church is making the local population completely dependent on its own center with its own agenda: to keep the children dependent on the church and strike the fear of almighty in their innocent heads. But in the end, the Bishop can care less about the children especially since they blocked a wonderful donation of a clean water source. If any of you out there are touched by this story please let me know! I am very interested in helping build a non-denomination center to help street kids in Granada that will not deny them basic necessities because they have to come from one source: The Church.
Ok, so now I am getting off my soap box, board a plane and will soon let you know what a funky Thanksgiving I had.

BACK HOME!!!!!
I would love to share pics of my grandmother and my extended family in Belgium, but you know, some things I keep a bit private. Sooooooo...Rich and I decided to go to Rotterdam to visit the local retailers (as we did in Brussels and Antwerp). I had never been to Rotterdam, but knew it was a nice modern city, but did not know there is a HUGE problem there. I drove in with French license plates and a weird Euro minivan with tinted windows, oh, and it was a Friday and Rich was in the passenger seat. All of a sudden an Arab or North African looking guy ran across traffic lanes to try and catch our car. It was really frightening but then we drove into the center of town and all of a sudden we were being chased my adolescent Arab boys on bikes. Whenever we stopped at a light an Arab youngster would approach. Finally I parked the car and one Arab boy on a bike came up very abruptly. Before he could say a word I started a verbal blast at him which confused him...I spoke English, not French. So, I went to my hotel and asked the concierge why this weird thing was happening. He did not understand until I finally told him I was driving with French plates. "A ha" he expressed, "they think you are here to buy something." What???? Buy what? OHHHHHHH, duh, stupid me, Marijuana is legal in Holland. So all these boys on bikes wanted to get a cut of the profits by taking me to a dealer. Supposedly, French people drive up to Holland to load up on loads of MJ! Mystery solved.
If that wasn't enough excitement, my wonderfully intelligent business partner Rich did not click with some Dutch customs. I don't know what you see, but I clearly see a bike lane in the pic, but Rich thought it was a Rich only lane and almost was
severely injured by several cyclists (as in Rich fashion, he blamed everyone but himself bitching the lanes was not clearly marked!) Oh and look at the pic of the ketchup and mayo. The Burger King employee asked Rich if he wanted mayo or ketchup, Miss Thing said yes to both not realizing that ketchup and mayo are for french fries and not an option for your burger. He also did not realize each one cost half a dollar....waste not want not!
After a night out in Rotterdam we continued on to Amsterdam. Rich really wanted to go (he thought it would look like Curacao) but much to his dismay the city did not thrill him. I have been to Amsterdam a few times, so all I wanted to do was go visit retailers. So I called up Xavier from Drake's and we met up, had lunched and had a great time talking very intelligently about our biz! If you are ever in Amsterdam stop by Drake's and say "hi" to Xavier from Collin O'Neal.

Spain!
After a very smooth shoot and a great location that I am keeping a secret, Rich and I dropped off Jesus and spent one last night in Murcia exhausted. The next day we got up late and drove to Alicante to check into our hotel there and took a quick trip to Benidorm for shits'n'giggles. Benidorm is very moderm is interesting but it is such an EsyJet/Ryanair/ThompsonFly/Jet2GO....well, you get the idea, or maybe not, city...Yob-a-licious! Later that night I met up with Jose (he is the big tall daddy in the middle of the bar pic) for dinner and then a few drinks out. Alicante has a really cool bar scene, especially if you are looking for younger guys....they are all over!
The following day we boarded another plane for Madrid and decided to stop over there to go see Martin Mazza and help him with his party in Madrid. And low and behold I run into the ever sexy Francois Sagat. We all went to dinner and then headed to the club where I ran into Vicotr Banda and my model from "Spain" Igor Bad! Of course I was up to my old ways of biting asses and licking armpits, but who could resist biting Francois Sagat's butt and licking his sexy arm pit.
More to come soon from Paris, Belgium and Holland!

HustlaBall Update...a little late
After I was done rounding up friends and taking photos I decided to get a drink and then take a look around myself, but that plan was bombed quickly. First, I saw Chi Chi's business partner and stopped to talk with him for a while then I took off again and ran into one of my models from my London movie: Milan. I spent a good bit of time speaking with Jeremy Hall and then ran into Francesco D'Macho. After talking with him and some other people that swung by to talk with us, it was time to leave.
After a day or two longer in Berlin and dinner with the nice guys from Manhunt, Adam and Phil, and a quick thank you to Brandon Baker, Rich and I took off to Spain to film with a hot new guy I discovered (that I know some big company will pick up and run with, well, at least I got him once!) And so now I am in Spain until Sunday. I will make a quick stop in Madrid to see Martin Mazza and help him with a party before boarding a plane to Paris.

Berlin, Venus, and Chi Chi's Party
After a quick shower at the arrivals lounge Rich and I popped into central London to visit friends, do a bit of business, have lunch then head back to catch our flight to Berlin. You can see our Rich and David are happy to have a sunny day in London in October!
After a nice long night of rest, rich and I headed to chat up people within the business at Venus. Running around trade shows is very exhausting so we headed back to the hotel for a quick rest before heading to Chi Chi's party. The party was the who's who of the porn business and some fans that found out about the party. The space was not great, but Chi Chi's spinning can make any space danceable and she sure as hell did a good job to keep me entertained as well as the rest of the guests that were dancing to her mix of 80's and 90's. I also hung out with my good friend Phil from Manhunt...we always have a great time together...well, you can see by the pic!
Next update tomorrow....well, hopefully, since who knows how late I will be at Hustlaball tonight!

Hola de Costa Rica!
Anyway, I have been here 3 times before and every time I came here my business partner Rich (back then he was just my friend since I had not started the business yet) begged to ride along the next time, so I decided to show him how pretty Costa Rica is. We picked up a SUV from the airport and 3 1/2 hours later driving up mountains and then along the Pacific we ended up in Manuel Antonio Park at my favorite hotel Mariposa. (By the way, that is Rich drinking coffee with a view from the hotel.)
(Whoa, look at that log in my shorts....no wonder the people on the beach were looking and the American girls next to me were flirting!)So, for the past four days we have been relaxing, hiking, and going to the beach and then working productively at night since it gets dark around 5pm. Both yesterday and today I went to get a very nice massage right on the beach with the sound of the waves from a nice Costa Rican girl who I need to import back to the US so she can give me the same massage every day! We have another half day in Manuel Antonio then a drive back to San Jose and then fly back to Miami the following day to start organizing for Berlin!

Weekend at Folsom
I first went to the bigmuscle party which is always fun to attend and full of porn stars, most of them provided by Titan. After a quick nap I went on to the End Up for Raging Stallion's party DJ'd by Chi Chi LaRue (one of my favorite DJs out there)!
I brought my friend Raul to the party and it seemed he was quite popular among the guests and among the producers (sorry guys, he would be perfect in front of the camera, but he doesn't want to). I also ran into my ex Arpad Miklos who looks bigger than ever....making me look like a midget standing next to him and in the picture!
After wandering around a bit and getting up on stage with my fellow RSS people (and of course I had to thank my fans for supporting my World of Men series!) the party began to go south....in a good way. I ran into my buddy Scotty from Cybersocket who had been running around all day attending all the parties like a good reporter should. Then Scotty, Raul, Arpad and I followed Chi Chi over to the pool table for some interactive fun, well, I let Chi Chi interact while we all looked on!
