Good morning guys, I can't think of a better way to spend the morning than this, naked on the sofa texting with friends, playing solitaire and having a nice nap before lunch, want to join me? 😉. These are pictures from 2012 in Madrid, a nice memory of a nice day ☺️ Yesterday was a nice day, I worked on a new song in the morning and in the afternoon I watched a movie and then my husband's Twitch live set. A friend came over and we had dinner afterwards. A cool evening. I'll be working on the song again this morning until lunc...

Good morning guys, let's go back to the red hotel for breakfast! 🍌 You know what they say, it's the most important meal of the day 🤪🍆 Turns out there were a few outtakes from this photo shoot that I don't think I've ever shared before (the first 3 pics). It was indeed a night to remember ☺️ My surgery yesterday went well. It was uncomfortable while we were doing it and it hurt for a while, but when I got home it was like it never happened. I took the afternoon off to rest anyway. Better follow the doctor's order...

Good morning guys, one more night, the neighbor appeared on the stairs, couldn't believe my eyes 😍😜 Here's the rest of the newly restored full color pics from the neighbor series. You'll notice there are a few new ones ☺️ Today I have a procedure at noon. It should be nothing, an hour and a half thing, and I should be home and fine right after. I'll let you know tomorrow. Until then, have a great Friday 😘 ❤️

Good morning guys! it's #throwbackthursday and the neighbor knows 😜 He's back, in color and teasing you from the second floor, what are you going to do? 🤪 I was finally able to do some music work and finished mixing one of the songs and another one is halfway done, I'll keep working on it today until we get the notice to go to the doctor. Waiting for medical stuff is a little annoying, but luckily when I get into the music I forget about it. I wish you all a great day 😘 ❤️

Good morning guys! Look who made an special appearance yesterday 🤪 it seems we’ll be back in business soon 😜 Today I’ll be working on music all morning and back to the prescribed rest in the afternoon, I want to finish this album! Have a great Wednesday 😘❤️

Good morning guys, breakfast is served! come get your vitamin D 😜🍆 Here's the last of this series, previously in black and white and now in it's original color, hope you enjoyed it. This week feels like it's slowing down, so today I'm going to try and make some music, which always helps me heal from the inside out. It's all the waiting that gets on your nerves. Hope your week had a good start, have a nice Tuesday 😘❤️

Hey guys! Let's go back to the red hotel, I have some more goodies for you 😜 Here's the second part of the originally black and white photo series as part of the "Red Hotel" special 🔴. This week is going to be a little complicated to navigate because of test results and doctor appointments. The most important one is next Thursday, wish me luck. Have a nice Monday 😘 ❤️

"He said: see you at the hotel.. I went there and waited, thinking about the possibilities..." Good morning guys! AJRG asked me yesterday if there was a color version of this photo gallery I shared last year (I shared a story here yesterday with the original post), and here they are. I re-edited the images from the original RAW files, keeping the color. An anecdote from this set: our car broke down and we were stranded on a road near Alicante, Spain, so we rented a motel room for the night. Turns out there was a bear bar around the corn...

Good morning guys, did you know that red is my favorite color? ☺️🔴☺️ So I couldn't help but revisit part of this red briefs photo gallery from 2022, this time including some pictures I didn't share back then, hope you enjoy them 😜 The new hardcover "All Systems Go" book, now titled "All Systems Go: A Visual Exploration" goes live on Amazon today 🎉 I'll officially announce it in a newsletter next week (as soon as I can get a copy to see if everything is okay), but if you want to get it before everyone...

Good morning guys, Friday finally arrived, want to play Lego? 😜 Updates and news: I managed to do the three tests the doctor asked for in two days, the results will be back before Tuesday, so I hope we'll have an update by next Thursday tops. Chemo or no chemo, that's the question we want to get answered 🧐 I just finished the new hardcover version of the "All Systems Go" book this morning. It's been in the works for a few months. I reworked the book that was on Amazon and rewrote almost everything and added a lot of ne...

Hey guys, I found these two pics that I think are a curious match, like two sides of the same story ☺️ The story is that I'm at a point in my recovery where I can see getting horny in a minute, haha. I have two possible collabs in the horizon, but I want to be more recovered before putting myself in front of the camera. A little vanity is not a bad thing 😘 Happy Thursday 😘
Good morning everyone! I found these pictures yesterday and ..
Good morning everyone! I found these pictures yesterday and they reflect exactly how I want to be in a few days, in bed and ready to have some well deserved fun 🤩. I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and we are now officially in phase three of my recovery (phase one was the major surgery, two was the second one to deal with the infection). Today I'm going to see another doctor to find out how much chemo I need. Hopefully not too much, because according to the tests I'm cancer clean, also because the thing is crazy expensive an...

Good morning guys! Nothing like starting the morning by stretching the muscles and getting some exercise in, are you with me? ☺️ One thing that surprises me about the recovery process I'm in from the major surgery I had last month is how weak the body is left after all the shenanigans. My doctor warned me about this, he told me it would take time and a lot of willpower to recover, but I'm all in, keeping busy and running as much as I can (turtle mode at the moment though 😅). Also thinking about new music videos. I'm looking f...

Good morning guys, how about a nice and healthy breakfast to start the weekend with a smile? Banana is good for you, doctor's words 🤪🍌 I found this set of pictures yesterday, it's the last one from our last photoshoot, hope you enjoy it ☺️ I'm feeling much better today, every day is an improvement. I still have one bandage left, but it's ok, it'll go away next Tuesday. When I saw the pictures I thought that the moment I can take care of it, I'll make a big mess haha, haven't shot in more than a month (in fa...

Remixing, Rebuilding, Healing... ❤️🩹 As I said in my post on social media today, I'm halfway through my recovery journey and I'm taking a look back at some of my favorite photo galleries 📸. Today is the first day in over a month that I've been able to make my own coffee and do some work on my computer. I remembered this photo set and did a little remix for you. Can't wait to create more new content, hopefully soon 🤞🏻 Thank you so much for staying here with me, your subscription is what allowed me to pay for th...

Hey guys! My recovery is going well, I've been able to move around a bit more and today I was able to use my computer for the first time in a month 🎉 To celebrate this good news, here's a video we made for you the day before my surgery on June 25th. My plan was to post it a week later, right after the short story ended, but you know what happens with plans 😅. Anyway, this was a fun video to make and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Can't wait to start making new ones for you 😘 ❤️

Hi guys, just a quick update, this time from me. I'm feeling much better, the road to recovery seems to be going well and I want to thank you all for waiting for me. I can't wait to come back stronger than ever. This has been a nightmare, but also a lesson that I'm determined to pass along with this advice: PLEASE get a colonoscopy when you turn 50. Don't wait, don't make excuses, a week can make all the difference. I need to find a better way to get this message out. If you have any ideas, they're all welcome. You guys...

My dear friends, subscribers and inner circle. I didn’t know how to talk about this at first, so I just kept it for myself for a few days to process it. Then things got complicated. Now, the first day I’ve been able to get my iPad and write something (with the help of my husband), I want to take a moment to apologize for my absence this past month and explain to you what has happened. First and foremost, I am alright and in the way to recovery. In the beginning of the month I went to a routine medical check-up and to our surprise they fou...

Hey guys! Today we finish "Love In Neon City" with this emotional 8th chapter, enjoy ☺️ I hope you liked it, somehow I think this could have been a great pitch for Bearcity 4. I have to tell Jay and Joe 😜 Chapter 8: The Beginning Josh kept his distance for two days, he needed to think. It was the first time they hadn't talked for that long since their second date. It felt like an eternity, and the strain began to take its toll on Josh and Corey's relationship. Corey, used to more freedom and decisiveness, found himself...

Hey guys! here is chapter 7 of "Love In Neon City", and tomorrow, the conclusion, enjoy ☺️ Chapter 7: The Decision As the days turned into weeks, Josh and Corey grew closer. The dynamics of the triad shifted, but their friendship remained strong. Marcus and Adrian supported Josh and Corey's decision to explore their connection, even if it meant changing the status quo. One night, after a particularly emotional conversation, Josh realized how much he had grown and left behind since that first day in the old cafeteria. His jeal...

Hey guys! Happy Sunday 🎉 and here's chapter 6 of "Love In Neon City", only 2 chapters to go, enjoy ☺️ Chapter 6: The Experiment The next day they gathered for breakfast in the kitchen, Marcus had cooked and the air was filled with the smell of fresh coffee and pastries. The conversation flowed lazily, and there came a moment when they ended up talking about Josh's life situation. Corey's partners were understanding and supportive, but they also encouraged Josh to explore life. They insisted that he needed to take a ...

Hello guys, hope your week is going well, here's chapter 5 of "Love In Neon City", enjoy 😊 Chapter 5: The Invitation Corey and his partners lived in an old duplex in the old part of town. A cozy place with old furniture, real books and a vinyl and CD collection to die for. Dinner with the triad was an eye-opener for Josh. He was greeted by two other men, both charming and experienced, and perhaps 10 or 15 years older than Corey and himself. One was Marcus, a silver-haired artist with a quiet demeanor and a keen eye for detail. ...

Hello guys, happy Pride! 🏳️🌈 This is chapter 4 of "Love In Neon City", enjoy ☺️ Chapter 4: The Discovery Corey went back to his room, he needed a moment. These days had grown darker for him. After losing all hope of ever finding Josh again, he wrote about their encounter on a page, hoping that the "message in a bottle" would reach Josh. He checked his messages again with a mixture of hope and resignation. When he saw Josh's message, his heart leapt. He replied quickly, and they agreed to see each other the n...

Good morning guys, a good breakfast is fundamental and for today's #throwbackthursday I bring you a tasty 🍆 from 2022. Bon appetite! 🤪 Hope your week is going well, tomorrow we celebrate Pride and "Love In Neon City" will be back for it's 4th chapter, hope you enjoy it. June is always an exciting month and I wanted to celebrate it in a special way. Happy Thursday 😘 ❤️
Hello guys, here's chapter 3 of "Love In Neon City", enjoy! ..
Hello guys, here's chapter 3 of "Love In Neon City", enjoy! 😉 Chapter 3: The Realization They parted ways at the end of the street. The morning was cold and rainy. As Josh left the motel, the city felt darker and emptier. His gaze returned to his usual somber mood, and he couldn't help but think of the lyrics to his favorite song, "Don't Say A Word" by Benjamin Koll: "HIS GAZE WAS FADED BY THE RAIN. I KEPT WALKING AWAY. THE CITY FELT SO DARK, SO EMPTY. Back in his apartment, he played the song on repeat,...

Hello guys, this is the second chapter of "Love In Neon City". Enjoy 😉 Chapter 2: The Encounter The neon signs flickered overhead as Josh and Corey walked through the bustling streets, their steps falling naturally into sync. Josh was a little embarrassed that the place he'd rented wasn't fancier, but he honestly hadn't expected to have company on his little escapade. They arrived at the modest motel, its exterior illuminated by a soft, inviting glow. Josh hesitated before pushing open the door, feeling a mixture of exc...

Hey guys, in the next few days I'm going to share with you a story I've written. My first intention was to write a script for the music video of my song "Don't Say A Word", but then the story took on a life of its own. This is the first of 8 chapters of "Love In Neon City": Chapter 1: The Get-Together In the heart of Neo-City, where neon lights danced off polished chrome surfaces and the air buzzed with the hum of hovercars, a lonely man found himself in a quaint cafeteria on a slow Tuesday morning. The aroma of fr...

Good morning guys, last Friday afternoon while I was taking some new pictures for you, I started thinking about something and one thing led to another... and I made this video for you ☺️ Starting tomorrow, I'm going to share with you one chapter a day of a short story I finished yesterday. It has eight chapters and was inspired by something a friend told me and two other details two of you shared with me. I'm going to be away most of the week and won't be able to write daily posts, so I thought this would be the perfect opportun...

Good morning guys! Today I'm trying some new stuff for you ☺️ I took these yesterday afternoon after work. Took a shower and thought "hey, I don't think I've ever tried this position" 🤪 So here they are, maybe a lot of different choices, but hey, it's Saturday! I might edit one for open social media, which one do you think I should post? Hope your weekend is going great, have a wonderful day 😘❤️

Good morning guys, live from my bedroom this morning, here are some pictures I took when I woke up and took my morning shower 🤪🚿. The last days have been a rollercoaster, things are looking good now, but for a moment it got a bit... tense. Sometimes the only secret in life is to go with the flow and accept whatever the universe puts in front of you, and just like in a video game, be present and pay attention to every little opportunity that comes your way. And after my Miyagi moment, have a wonderful Friday guys, I love you! 😘❤️
