Hollywood Hayes – Pikeys
My uncle Frank told me a story about how one day his trailer was stolen from his house in Tipperary. Frank phoned the police. Made a report. Few days later two guys showed up at his door asking him if he wants to buy a trailer – The very trailer that was stolen. NotREAD MORE
Hollywood Hayes – Old People
You see a lot of things in West Hollywood. Today, for example, I saw a hefty, blimp shaped man wearing nothing but a long brown wig and pink thong bikini while cycling his bicycle. Always nice when you’re strolling to the shop for milk. Hardly ever see old people here, though. Not like the sweetREAD MORE
Hollywood Hayes – Crazy People
“How long until this person goes crazy on me?” is a fun game I like to play in LA. Usually not too long at all which is why it feels like you’re constantly living on the edge here. Crazy people roaming like zombies. Once met an older, shoeless Gene Wilder looking guy at a coffeeREAD MORE
Hollywood Hayes – Eviction

I blame the building manager. Let’sREAD MORE
Hollywood Hayes – Sweating
“Mark, can you stop sweating?” Sorry. “You need to stop. It’s showing on camera.” It’s not on purpose. “OK, we’re done here.” Pardon? “Get out.” Auditions are some laugh.

Decided to rent out his room on AirBnB while he’s gone. Bit apprehensive at first. What if they’re psychotic? Murderers?READ MORE

My buddy in the passenger seat, let’s call him Johnny, was debatingREAD MORE
Yoga God. Namas-Wahey!
(Article of mine that was in the Examiner at the weekend. Read on!) So I’m in Malibu, at a yoga studio, standing at the back of a crisp, clean, pure white room. White ceiling, white walls, white drapes and polished wooden floorboards. It feels like a dream sequence. I’m surrounded by the beautiful, tanned, toned,READ MORE

Stop. Press. Print!
