Back Home!

I know I said I would update you all from Europe, but I hit the ground running when I arrived in Berlin and really had no time to sit down and write. In addition to not having time, I also had major internet issues at the hotels I was staying at in both Berlin and Paris.

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 Nicaragua I went home to Miami Beach for one night and then took off to San Francisco to have Thanksgiving with my mother's side of the family. Family events for me are usually a kick in the pants, so I thought I would share a sneak peak into my very private life for some shits and giggles. You see, it is just my mom, her twin sister and her lesbian daughter and my great aunt (who we all suspect of liking the women folk too). Oh, my gay brother (yes, all 3 children from the 2 twins are gay) was missing for this wondrous event. My mother's family gatherings are also funny because of the weird ass conversations and my cousin and I winking at each other concerning my porn career that has eluded my mother's knowledge base. As you can see the dog barfed on the carpet and we still have a dear head in the living room that my grandfather killed like in the 1960's or something.

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!
