Filming in Spain

Back to work! I filmed a great scene today atop Martin Mazza's condo in Madrid with hot boyfriends Fabio and Daniel. This hot couple has never done porn before, but the camera seemed to not be an issue!

Athens for a day!

I decided to fly to Athens for a day and check out the sights since I had not been to Greece since I was 17. It was nice to see the Parthenon and then have hot sex with a sexy Greek boy.

Qatar!

I arrived in Doha, Qatar last night to visit a friend of a friend. The government seems to be hell bent on competing with Dubai by throwing up random huge skyscrapers right out of the sand. Today we drove into the desert and accidentally right up to a huge US Airforce base before arriving at Qatar's little "seaside."

Leaving Lebanon

After a trip back over the mountains to Zahle then to the border with Syria and another trip through rubble and then a scary flight on one of Syrian Air's Tupolov's to Dubai I met up with friends and went to the stylish club at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel with some Lebanese friends.

Seeing destruction first hand

Somehow I convinced Jad to go with me to the site of yesterday's bombing. I have never seen such destruction! The streets were blown wide open with sewer piping strewn all along the road. When we arrived at the bombing site there was mass panic. Jad negotiated with the "security" guard to let me go into the rubble and film. I cannot and do not want to verbalize (at least not on this blog) what I saw, but it was bad….very bad. As we left I was accosted my some local guys and after much negotiation between Jad and them they only took my video tape.

Bombs getting closer!

Jad and I went to visit his college (AUB) just to see if there were any announcements about classes restarting. We then went to St. George's beach to lay in the sun and pretend like things were normal. Later in the day we went to go get gas and I went to eat while Jad waited in line when all of a sudden a HUGE bomb blast occurred that near broke the windows. Later that day Jad and I were driving to downtown when two more HUGE blasts occurred that reverberated through the car. We made a u-turn and saw that the Israeli's bombed an apartment complex just 1 mile from out hotel. Later that night we met up with a CBS correspondent and then went out to a local club to pretend like things were normal again.

My Poor City!

Today Jad and I toured around Beirut to see how the city was doing. We saw the oil slick on the beaches, the bombed lighthouse, and smoke billowing over the southern suburbs. We then had to go get gas and that took about 1 ½ hours!

Poor Beirut!

I finally convinced Jad to take me to Beirut. He was very hesitant, but I really wanted to get to Beirut to see my other friends. There were bombed out cars and busses all along the route. We made it to Beirut in about one hour to find the city a near ghost town. We basically went to the hotel and rested a bit before going to see my friends.

Arriving in Lebanon during the War

I left Syria for Lebanon today. At the border I had to get out of the taxi and drag my luggage down a 6 foot deep hole in the road and then take a new taxi to the Lebanese border control. My friend Jad was waiting for me on the other side all freaked out because I was 30 minutes late. We could not go down the main road since the Israeli's bombed it so we went through villages, but still made it to Zahle in 20 minutes. In the end Jad and I went for drinks at a local bar (yes, that is Absent, and yeah, I look a bit rough, so would you if you had the day I had!)
