A little personal, a little promotional...

New habits are hard to break!

I've been waking up at the crack of dawn every morning for 2 weeks. When the pattern started I thought hell I'm busier than shit... maybe the early bird does catch the worm... go with it! As a result I was really productive. A good thing too since our deadline for 'HF2' the second DVD was moved up 2 weeks! Yeah fun!

Now the movie is complete and turned in I still can't sleep in. I tried staying up late but I feel asleep during RuPaul's Drag Race last night, its really sad... like an old man! Thank Allah for DVR!

I decided to use the time wisely so this morning I'm catching up on Hard Friction planning, writing in the blog... and in an hour I'll hit the cardio machine and catch up on my ab routine.

   
This week in the studio...
This week is an exciting week in the studio, not just for Hard Friction, but at Raging Stallion Studios. Drake Jaden is back and in the tattoo movie (as yet untitled). We paired him with this muscled God- the porn star formerly known as 'Freakzilla', Santino Vega. I rarely get to film hot men of color so when I see someone I like I make my feelings known. When I saw his application I was all in! Santino's longneck was all up in Drakes smooth candy ass.

Tomorrow were back in action with superstar Adam Killian. It's my first crack at directing him or having him perform in front of MY camera... unless you count our 3-way with homeboy Ricky Sinz in Refocus and that little hand held HD camera we had. I saw that more as a prop than a job... but something rubbed off because now Bruno and I are shooting more gonzo style these days.
More news about that coming soon...

 
This week on Hard Friction its HARD FRICTION LIVE!
Bruno and I will host together a series of LIVE cam entertainment, this Thursday March 11th kicks off the new line-up. In addition to live adult 'entertainment' we'll visit with guest star Derrick Hanson and coerce him into various acts of indignity!
All New time! 8pm PST!

Calling all perverts!

Lawler vs. Riley!

This week on Hard Friction



Click here watch the match!

Luke Riley is a certified bad boy, always up to mischief. Nothing I like better than a hung bottom who loves to get plowed. And I have to admit blondes and dirty reds get to me! Working with Luke as much as I have, and fucking him as much as I have in my own bed- I wonder if anyone can give it to him hard enough? Its probably impossible to fuck him into submission, with Luke its best to keep his hole preoccupied. Nash sure tries here... the slight on set tension is sexy— I live for Nash's trademark cum shot exclamation--- MOTHERFUUUCKER!

Directed and shot by me, Steve Cruz, in the Hard Friction studio, this week's new XXX throwdown!

With age comes insight

It was one of those weekends...

February 28th historically has been a strange date. This weekend was no exception. First off all I have been waking up before the sun for weeks. Up about 5am. Not sure why that is but rather than fight it, I choose to go with it. In this solitary time when my world is still asleep, all except my cat, I have been getting a lot done. Even though I don't get to sleep in.

Sunday morning I woke and came to my desk to find the sound of metal on metal clicking. Blue light flashing in a panic! That was the confirmation that my graphics hard drive was having a melt down. I tried the power switch and a reboot several times. Sure enough it was too late and the drive is lost.

Normally I would be pulling out my hair over the situation. Much to my surprise I remained calm. This wasn't the first time a drive had died on me but this drive was within warranty. Not to mention I had my entire music library backed up on the drive- 3,890 songs collected over 5+ years... and with it, the completed box cover art for the new Hard Friction release, HF2. Where this calm came from I do not know.

Thanks to Google, I spent the morning reading threads on the topic, making phone calls and solving my own issues instead of panicking and bitching. In the end I will recover almost all my files and the one important file, my box cover I can recreate and it will be better than before!

Moral of the lesson, 'things break down but you don't have to'. It didn't make me happy but freaking out would have made the situation worse. In the end thanks to iTunes one time re-grant pass, I'll have all my music back soon and I'll work on an even better box cover. I feel like I had been personally tested and I passed. I hope this is a sign that in future crises I'll do even better. That I'm maturing into the guy I want to be- living a life drama free.

Then the memories came back to me: February 28, 1999- I called this month black February because it was a dark time in my life. I was struggling with my addictions and working a job that gave me no personal satisfaction. The combination was deadly. I had a meltdown and decided it was time to change my ways for good. I cleaned up my act.

February 28th marks that anniversary when I gave up Crystal Meth forever and never looked back. Given that I dabbled in the party most of 20s this was a miracle.

I guess I really had changed! 11 years ago to the day I was a cracked out mess who showed up 15 minutes late every day to his slave desk and morbidly joked about suicide. After some soul searching, and personal growth I've transformed into the guy who can be chill in a crisis and run his own company... someone who is strong, stable, creative.

It's not a very sexy blog entry today, but its a milestone anniversary.
I love my life. I love my boyfriend, my cat, my fans, my businesses and the opportunities life affords me. And none of it would be mine if I didn't make that tough decision to change on February 28, 1999.

For those of you who are still struggling, it can be done. With determination and patience you can totally change your life. One day at a time. Have faith miracles do happen!

Tony Aziz and Bruno!

Being a good boyfriend means knowing when NOT to cockblock!


Click here for more!

Sometimes I'm torn between being a good director AND a good boyfriend, case in point this hot scene with Bruno and Tony Aziz. I'm almost never the jealous type but every so often I'm reminded! Not to disappoint you but ...really! I was so turned on filming this scene I wanted to throw down my camera and get into the mix. In this case by being both a good director and boyfriend, self sacrifice pays off. See who says porn and morals don't mix?!

FYI, this is one of those HF web-exclusives -Its not available on any DVD! You can only watch by logging on to the site!

Anyway, I get my turn with Tony Aziz next month in another HF web-exclusive scene. But until then I had to go and beat off quietly in the dark after the show... I'm sure you all feel sorry for me! and maybe it wasn't so quiet!

Funny AND with pages that don't erase!

What I'm reading...


A sad fact about me? I rarely have much free time for books... except when I'm traveling. So when I finally have down time at home I'll usually crave something entertaining to relax with. Something with humor. Since I'm working on the next movie with Raging Stallion, a movie about men with Tattoos... I picked up this book and I can't put it down.

Jeff Johnson, the author, is also the owner of a tattoo shop out of Portland. Great publicity for your shop right? If there's any embellishment to his memoirs, he's got a matter of fact writing style that feels authentic... but anything this crazy has to be real. If nothing else its a fun read! You may learn a thing of two about what not to do or say or want when you're getting tattooed. Tattoo etiquette? I think it exists.

In production!
Raging Stallion's Tattoo movie goes into production this week, and resumes again in March and April. My camera will be all up in Alexsander Freitas' ink this morning. He's an animal, I love him! Here's a preview of the hunk almighty from the upcoming HF2 (Hard Friction).
