Good work friendo. It was an amazing night.

PJ in all his glory. Dude needs some practice though, I was heckling him
behind the rows of photographers and he gives me the finger. If he ever
becomes really famous you know one of these assholes is gonna release the
image with some caption about “James Ransone’s Red Carpet Rampage” or
something…

Jeff Carrizalez was the best part of the night and always ready to one up
“all you liberal pussy Hollywood actors”..

.

The real Ray Person (PJ’s character on the show) ended up being way cooler than PJ so Dill and I have decided that he will replace PJ in our friendship circle. I look forward to our adventures Ray…

The one and only Eric Kocher. From Marine to major H-town player in less than 2 years.

Sage and PJ getting ready for their upcoming “buddy cop” flick.

One of these guys is considered the sexiest man of Sweden.

.

Sage feeling the effects of being the behind the scenes, stay at home spouse
to his wonderful celebrity wife the one and only SWEET P!

Heidi had a birthday and a wedding this week.

This is Evan Wright. He wrote the book Generation Kill as well as some of
the scripts for the show. He spent a lot of time getting shot at to make
this all happen. I was looking for other stuff he had written the other day and
found this article about his past career as a writer for Hustler.

“I experienced a sense of numbness on Jasmin¹s set ‹ as I would on many
others ‹ that I can only compare to accounts I have read of combat. It was
the sense of being in a group of people deliberately and methodically
engaged in acts of insanity. Unlike in combat, I was not overwhelmed by the
horror of it, but by the grand-scale stupidity, which crystallized that day
as I stood by the craft-services cart. Boiled hot dogs on cold, white buns
were being dispensed. A man next to me politely passed the mustard. The
bottle was sticky with K-Y Jelly. I never attempted to eat on a porn shoot
again.”

This was also the night of Charlie’s homecoming. LA is once again blessed.

Rudy Reyes was one of the real Marines from the book but became the actor
Rudy Reyes playing marine Rudy Reyes on the show Generation Kill. Word on
the street was that he might get into a little bit of trouble for wearing
his “Blues” out that night…

Rudy reminding PJ who can bench press more while Chloe tries to figure out
how she got stuck in this man sandwich.

Charlie Smith. An American hero and true gentleman.

Shine for me mommy.

Over the years that tension dissolved and Blake transformed from a kid I had to deal with to a guy I considered my friend. 

Blake plays the guitar really well. Lots of people want him to play in their bands so they fly him all over the place to play guitar. 

Blake also makes his own music which I like much more than most of the bands he’s hired to play with. 

He played a solo show last week. He had never played with his band before so it was really entertaining to watch them all communicate on stage. I was inspired.

Hopefully the future will bring some collaborations…

Blake is now back on tour with Band of Horses so if you live somewhere they are going…

Trace.

PJ.

Paul.

Deej.

Forgot his name.

And then there was trouble. Luckily PJ was there to document my transformation…

MONSTERS INC.

The streets were calling.

Pink bike. White basket. Yes.

The lights!

PJ was on fire.

Ace was not ready for me.

Fire in the sky.

What’s a July 4th without a casualty?

Taking control.

The day after July 4th was too painful to share so I have skipped ahead to Sunday. Sage, Matt and Dexter’s roller skating Birthday party.

Matt Murphy

Creepy Matt Murphy 

Next level

Did you see PJ has a whole post on here?

Happy Birthday Saggy.

Alain and Sonny at the same time! You have no idea how important this is…

If I shot for this mag I bet they would like this shot.

When will these people learn… People in AAA don’t get hang overs. 

LA to Taipei to Singapore to Jakarta to Padang takes a really long time.

Rush hour in Singapore.

Chapy making the best of over 30 hours of flying.

“Happiest place on Earth”

Do you keep your eyes on the traffic or the sidewalk booby traps? The hole that nearly ended my career.

Safe to say Indonesia far surpasses the USA when it comes to public transportation. 10 people, one cab, no problem. Plus they look way cooler.

Yeah. Thats the windshield.

The mall was closed so Eric and I decided to go site seeing.

I picked up some new clothes to better fit in with the natives.
Then off to the docks for our 14 hour boat ride to nowhere.

After a brutal night of sailing we awoke to this…

The crews bedroom was also the kitchen.
A seasick Saggy.

The first sight of waves.
