Australia 3!!!!!!!!!

My god! That game was incredible. I was at an Aussie bar with Steve, Jack, Luke etc... (Aussie guys) but i wished so much I could have been in oz for that game, with Marcus, Aiden etc... It was incredible, i couldn't even cry i was so happy insane!!!!!!! I cant find the words to describe it...

We finished shooting yesterday and we had a big wrap party which was fun. It has been a long time since I have posted so allow me to think for a second... It has been the craziest week, I say this every time but each week tops the others. Lots of crazy stories to tell but this isn’t the right place for some of them. The free apartment is fantastic!! Although the dream will end soon when i have to leave it. We have had some cool locations, namely the three story penthouse near times square, we had a fun party there after, crazy.

We shot on Coney island "warriors, come out and play!" and this huge club in Chelsea. I know i am going to miss the crew, everyone on the shoot rocked!! Every single person i liked a lot! And hopefully i will get to work with them again at some point. It is almost really emotional.(whatever that means -editor thomasr)

Australia vs Japan, the crew, NY, music, people I have met, things i have done, places i have been, it is just insane how alive I feel (I am sorry, a little drunk from watching the Germany vs Poland game so that is why i am writing in this whatever..) I miss chilling out with my amazing friends, i miss my family too. Little Louis, the coolest cat around. I tell lots of people about my little bro. I am glad to hear dads shoulder is getting better, you're a tough guy and i know you can deal with it so i am not so worried, like i was with the first shoulder surgery.

I have finished the shoot now and i am thinking about how i should keep my self busy, for the next few days at least i will occupy my time with world cup!!! Drinking, gym and Roosevelt Island.

I don’t want to leave NY for London, but; the show must move I guess :( then after that, to Hollywood I’m going to make a movie staring Selma Blair, Mathew Perry, Robert Downey jnr, and maybe Rob Lowe. That will be another crazy adventure I’m am sure. And since the movie is much more unionised and regulated I will have to try and curb my "crazy side" and play it a little quieter... And discrete.

Steve got back from Hawaii with Sarah so I have seen him recently. My bike got stolen about a week ago but such is the way of the city. Now I am freer, I will try and keep this blog more up to date. It was funny today, I was waling home from the game and i saw Josh, the sound guy from the shoot, he was talking to this Greenpeace chick- which was very fitting- then out of know where I saw Nate, one of the g&e guys from the film, he was in the middle of shooting a documentary of coffee in NY so me and josh got interviewed and i was quite drunk from the bar so I don’t remember if I said stupid stuff or not but it was a cool coincidence for us to meet at this spot. We shot this one scene at this huge club and it was funny as I had to block (walk the actors through the sequencing) the actors through this scene, where they come in sit down rack up lines and fake snort them, I had to show them how to breath out so the line disappeared but yet looked like they had snorted it (sweet n' low) and the sequencing of movement and who pulls out the credit card etc.. It was kind of funny, but cool as this is usuallythe role of the director or 1st AD.

ANYHOO:
3-1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
