Fashion Sense: Fanny Pack Game Fanny Pack
So people often tell me I have good style, you may think so or not, but I do love fashion. I attribute that to growing up and living with my aunts, Bernadette and Caroline, my mom’s sisters that were just two years older then me. They always had Vogues and Cosmos around the house and I would flip through every page, literally… from cover to cover. I mean, I loved super models (Christy Turlington was my favorite, probably still is) and somehow all that fashion seeped into my brain. So, I just want to blog about what I think…

Valentine’s Day
Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone, I uploaded two videos to celebrate the day, for people pro and against. Me personally, I like the day, I don’t over do it or over think it. Me and my girl celebrate each other a lot, as far as going out and buying each other gifts and saying I love you, but it’s a fun day. I always think of Valentine’s Day when I was a kid and passing out Valentine’s Day cards in school, especially like in elementary school, of course I liked getting the candy (I love candy) and I liked…

Grammy Weekend 2012: Meeting Skrillex…
So it’s Grammy weekend in LA, as Hollywood is usually a town run by the film and television industry, it’s a little different this weekend because the city and all the parties are based around the music industry. It’s actually a really fun weekend as you can imagine. While running into an old friend of mine (and big time music producer these days with his brother Iz[Shout out, IZ]) Bobby Ross Avila at a party Friday night, he asked me what’s the difference between music parties and movie parties. I said simply, there are more rockstars at music parties… And…

6 Pack Abs
These days you watch TV and every other guy is ripped to shreds, totally fit and there is some ridiculous contrived moment set up for him to take off shirt and show off his six pack abs…. Now, I’m an actor and have been one for most my life, I totally understand that in our profession you have to keep in shape and be camera ready, but over the last few years, its been getting ridiculous! I was up for a film and the casting folks called up my manager and asked how many weeks am I away from a…

New Year’s Poem 2012
Happy 2012 to everyone. Here’s a poem to ring in the new year. Like everybody, I have a lot hope for the new year and like everybody I’ve heard all the rumors of the end of the world this year. Well, all that inspired me to write this poem. The holidays always remind me how much I love my family and it’s been great to take some time off, sleep on the floor of my grandparents house a few days and stay up late singing songs and talking about all of our great family memories. And now I’m excited to…

Hang Loose (Recap) dsc03936
So I’ve been back from Hawaii now for a few days, just enough time to catch my breath and the people that have been following me on twitter have been wondering what the heck I was doing out there… Well, the truth is I was shooting film with a friend of mine, Kevin… Some of his fans may know him as KevJumba. A year or so ago I did a film with my partner James Sereno called, “Paradise Broken,” about the darker side of Waikiki and we decided to create a company specifically to tell stories for and about…

Hang Loose (Half way done)
It’s been busy & I haven’t been able to write, but I have a little down time & I figured I’d just check in. Let me describe to you where I’m at… Sitting under a tent in the middle of Waikiki beach surrounded by movie cameras & equipment, sun beaming down on a few miles of sand and plenty of ladies laying in the sun just soaking it in. I have to stop for a second and just make sense of it all. I was talking just a bit ago to Kevin (KevJumba) & Ben (Benjamin Arthur), who we all…

Paradise Broken
I know I’ve been slacking on my youtube page, I’ve gotten a few comments and yes, I admit, I have been. But, to my defense, I have been quite busy. Been to Hawaii and back for a film festival, and our film, “Paradise Broken,” did quite well, one festival coordinator even said that it’s the best film to ever come out of Hawaii… I’ll take that praise. Been to New York and back and the whole time been writing a new script with Kevjumba and Benjamin Arthur for an upcoming film were doing together. And maybe I’m just telling you…

Sword Fighting Will Always Remind Me of My Childhood
So here’s a little video that a bunch of you have seen already but I was out of town this weekend (having a good time in Kansas City) and didn’t get to see it all. Watching it now is kind of fun. I can’t believe its been so long since I did Hook and getting together and getting together with Jan Bryant and Dan Speaker was great. These two along with Ted Katzoff we’re my actual fencing instructors and choreographers for the film. A few friends told me watching this reminded them of there childhood and for me me it…
