REMEMBERING...

where to begin? when i read the report that jorge was torn limb from limb including decapitation, my blood ran cold. i didn't know jorge steven lopez mercado but his story could be ours. i find myself thinking of his family but more specifically his mom. her tears. her anger.

if you are as outraged as i am, then join me on sunday, november 22nd at the christopher street piers at 5pm for a rally for justice for jorge! i understand this is a national rally with similar rallies taking place in san francisco, los angeles, chicago and south florida.

FLESHBOT AWARDS ~ NYC

so the fleshbot awards were held here in my back yard but for the life of me i couldn't figure out where it was being held and my emails to lux at fleshbot asking for info and a possible spot to be a presenter went unanswered. im totally bummed out on this one kids! however, i discovered just now that it was at THE BOX which is a pretty hot spot in the lower east side! LEVI JOHNSTON apparently had all the media's attention. UGH! check out diesel washington's blog for a blow job by blow job account of the evening and of course fleshbot's blog as well.

SPORT NUTTs...

the sports jock in me is goin fuckin nuts this week! first the YANKEES trounced Philadelphia in the world series. then, last saturday night my favorite college football team, the CLEMSON TIGERS beat the crap out of florida state with a score of 40 - 24. i knew the game was on, but didn't think i'd get to see it with a night full of activity. when i caught up with friends AGAVE RESTAURANT on seventh avenue in the village, the game was on and the score was pretty tight, but in a matter of minutes, my boys scored like crazy and left florida state in shambles! what a sight to see. the super hot and drop dead gorgeous C.J. SPILLER will most likely become a HEISMAN TROPHY candidate and winner plus, by the looks of it, the team is headed the college bowl! for highlights click here.

DREYDEN IN THE NEWS...

its been a pretty busy news/blog day for yours truly. part of my morning ritual is i get up between 7am and 8am. stubble naked to the bathroom for my morning piss. most of the time its all over because of my morning boner (which after 40 years i still don't understand why that happens), then to my coffee maker for the first of MAAAANY cups of java, i flip on NY1 news, flop down on the sofa, grab my lap top and its CNN.com for about an hour. then its to my blogger dashboard to catch up on all the blogs i follow including leif bogo, diesel washington, gay porn times, queer me now and will clark world to just name a few. so, while going down the list of blogs i follow i found the following posts that made my day...

starfucker would do me!

so, while we were on a break, big daddy wayne asked me if i saw the blooper reel from my last shoot. i hadn't... now i have and quite a few of you have seen it on xtube. for those of you who have not...

BUILDING BRIDGES...

this weekend was far more packed with activity than i thought or planned on. friday night's BANA party cleaned me out of clothes check supplies. we checked in 110 bags, but we ran out of the regular bags at number 79. to make room for the over flow i had to take over the larger changing area in order to organize and keep track of everything. i couldn't have managed without my volunteer justin! quite the cutie. and, once again, just as things finally settled down and i thought i'd get a chance to slip into VIP for a massage, it was time to close down. it seems like every month the time flies by faster and faster. much thanks to all of our volunteers for a stupendous job! you guys help more than you know and we all appreciate you all!

then there was steve cruz's birthday party at view bar. pretty awesome! the one thing i didn't mention in my post about the party is that steve turned 37 last week, not 30 as we were originally thought. but, there was one more event i promised to attend and that was the annual PORN AGAIN fundraiser for the New York City Gay Men's Chorus held at SPLASH BAR. when i arrived the party was in full swing and over on the stage was steve in signature black jock and surrounded by fans and drag queens alike. with a little arm twisting by the hosts, i ended up competing in the hairy ass contest... and won. my prize was a great photo book of the male form and a copy of HARD FRICTION which i have tucked away so i won't be tempted to watch since im shooting with SMOKING HUNKS today.

after the festivities steve and i hit better burger for a bite. his thank you to me for coming out and supporting. we got to chatting about the industry, the growth of his new project, working with MUSTANG, our experiences, mutual friends and our similar multi-cultural back grounds. this is the steve cruz i've been wanting to get to know for some time now and i finally have. one thing that touch my heart deeply was to see how he lights up when i asked how bruno is doing since i haven't seen him since my last visit out west. as we left dinner we went souvenir shopping. first stop was NASTY PIG but there was a "back in 5 min" sign in the door window so we decided to hit BROOKLYN INDUSTRIES. being a brooklyn boy myself, i thought it would be cool to share a little about the store and its amazing beginnings. did you know there's a shop in portland? apparently its the west coast twin to williamsburg. who knew?

all in all, it was a pretty awesome weekend. enjoy the pics.

CRUZ'IN AT VEW BAR...

steve's birthday at view bar was pretty awesome! i'd planned on just popping in, wish him a happy, happy then dash home to continue with packing for my move, but no... i stayed 'til about 4am. we had so much fuckin fun. i forget how hot steve is when he's on that gogo box in a jock! suck a HOT furry ass... im getting hungry! HA!

i got the opportunity to guest MC and ask steve some questions about HARD FRICTION, his super hot and hairy husband BRUNO, and more. the new site is live but you will soon be able to download and/or view their new line of skin flicks. and i gotta tell you boys... its some of the hottest man on man action i've seen in a long time!

thanks goes to big daddy dan for the pics. oh, and if you want a cake like the one made for steve, you can have one made especially for you by shooting an email over to mr. ralph boozer at rboozer66581@aol.com. his specialty? is whatever flavors you like! he'll have all the details for you!
