Just so there isn't any doubt (on what I'm good at), the t-shirt says it.

One of my best friends is starting a new t-shirt company, which I'm totally stoked to help him promote. One of the good things I guess about this recession, is that it allows you to re-invent yourself and start new ventures. Just like this one.... check it out here.

Hot fuckin' JULY!

There are good things with working from home, and there are bad. The bad is trying to stay focused on your work, when people know that you work from home. It's a hot one today, and all my friends are taking "a mental health day" to go to the beach. Which sucks for me, 'cause I have to work on marketing for Edger9.com and the latest scene edit with Tony Aziz. But it's not all bad.... the scene with me and Tony and is off the hook!!! Fuck, I'm getting a boner just watching it all over again (good thing I'm at home.... wank!). The Edger9 site is starting to evolve into this great in-depth story line, that seems to be the new thing in porn, according to the New York Times. Glad I'm cutting edge! That makes me feel pretty good, as I sweat over my computer..... definitely have to take a break outside and have a cold beer after my work is done today. Stay tuned as we get ready to launch the bios of characters, and stories of Edger9.... especially when cars, sex, and plot lines collide!

Instant Replay - Naked Kombat

So I know you're all wondering what happened.... So I'm going to sum it up for ya. When I asked Van Darkholme to find me someone who could fight.... he certainly did. Dak Ramsey is one tough motherfucker! We're evenly matched in strength and power.... so there were a lot of dead locks in the first round. By the second round, I started to have to hone in on a strategy to either tire him out, or get him into really tight holds to punch his gut (He had eaten a sandwich earlier, and was taking on a lot of water from his bottle). Round three - I got him on the edge, with some leg squeezes and full nelsons, that made him tap out twice..... after that Dak's ass was mine.

There are bound to be some that are going to look at this fight, and not get why we're deadlocked a lot...... The only analogy I can give you is that it was like two rams with locked horns. With Dak holding 15 pounds over me, a massive frame for 5'9".... it was difficult to get any tactical advantage, when he equals you in strength and is ruthless from his time in prison. I really had to rely a lot on my high school training, and my very tough coach's

lessons on trying to stay focused. Which I got to tell you, isn't easy when you're tired,

sweaty, and your muscles are sore from having to fight. This wasn't that fake WWE shit. This was real. There is no script. I gotta give kudos to Dak for being a great competitor. He really gave me a run for my money, and more than that....he's an awesome guy to talk to. Now that I'm 1-0 on Naked Kombat..... I'm ready for more. BRING IT!!!

Who's the Predator, and who's the Pussy?

Today I get to get on the mat with Dak Ramsey for Naked Kombat..... Hardly slept last night trying to remember, my training from my coach in high school wrestling, as well as my training from my dojo in martial arts, and my boxing trainer. The boxing probably won't be very useful today, since I'm not allowed to hit his face, but the martial arts should be. A friend asked if I was nervous about it.... and I'm not really. But I do want to prove to myself, that I'm not that scared nerdy kid, that I was when I was younger.... It's got to be a 'guy' thing. What is about fighting that signifies to other males that you aren't a pussy? As an adult, no one measures your success by your fighting ability... but it always comes back to the animal confrontation, horns clashing, and scrapping in the schoolyard, that's supposed to signify that you're the bigger man. I'm trying to stay conscious of the fact, that this is just a scene being played out.... to have fun with it. But part of me can't help to want to win. Part of me wants to growl loudly, and part of me... wants to smack talk and say, "Hey pussy boy, I just dropped the gauntlet.... wanna pick that up?" It's going to be a challenge to keep myself centered while I'm in the match, and not lose sight that intellect and skill, goes just as far in a fight, as strength and power. Hopefully, using all of my skills will help me win.... and get to fuck Dak's tight little ass..... GRRRR!!!

On the Hot List.... without resorting to rants!

I've gotta thank Jack Manly for including me in his half-year review of 2009's hot performers! That is fucking awesome! Being new to the industry and of color, I half expect to be looked over. I know, I know.... things are changing. I was conscious of the reason I picked 'Race' as a first name, and since porn is part of the image industry... Race is what everyone seems to zone in on, first. So, it's a pleasant surprise when someone sees beyond that, and actually looks at the performance and performer, instead. Reading some other blogs today, I also became slowly aware that people tend to air their dirty laundry out on the bloggosphere... a lot. It's something I've tried to avoid; but in the effort to be truthful, intellectual, and allow fans some insight into your life that isn't all rainbows and lollipops.... sometimes it's inevitable. Knowing this however, I don't want to make rants the driving force of my blog... nor do I want to write posts to comment on some inane and ignorant comment on me. I'm just not sure that it does anyone, any good. Except for maybe add to the drama.... and I'm the kind of person that can't stand the DRAMA! I'll even make a point to keep an arms length away, from those 13-year old little girls, that try to spread it. Hey, if that's your bag.... go for it. All the power to ya. I'd rather build my success on trying to stay positive, make fun of funny situations, and lift people up whenever possible. With that in mind.... again I have to applaud Jack Manly's blog.... he seems to stay positive, no matter what the situation. They don't call him 'Manly', for nothing. :)

Don't know much about biology.... but I know DNA!

A friend sent me a picture, and sent me information that I'm in the latest DNA mag. Cool! I've always loved the photography of this magazine, and would give my left nut to be on the cover.... I'm not sure in what context my photo appears, but the shot was taken at last year's Folsom Fair. Not a bad picture, but I've definitely grown in size since then.... Hopefully if anyone from DNA reads this.... I'm available for a re-shoot! :)

Happy Canada Day!

I usually forget that it's a holiday in my homeland.... because it's been so long since I was actually there on the first of July. However, to all my Canadian blog readers, or any of my friends in my hometown Toronto who may be reading this.... I haven't forgotten you. Have a big swill of beer, and enjoy the fireworks.... It's your day, EH? :) This also marks the month of the Bare Chest Calendar that I was on for 2009. It was a lot of hard work, being on that calendar, and raising money for HIV and AIDS programs, but well worth the experience. I joined a group of guys, who are still my best friends. If you want to find out more about Bare Chest, click here, and order a calendar.... or come out to an event, and donate. It's important to support charities like AIDS Emergency Fund and Positive Resouce Center..... especially in this economic climate. Cheers!

Oink Alert! Gearing up for Pride!

"It doesn't matter how much you drink, you can't hide your shame."..... Kinda sums up this weekend, huh? It's been a crazy day getting ready for Pride, but I think I've got it all together! Spent the morning trying to catch up on all the work I needed to do, but took a break around lunch to visit my director bud, Leif Gobo. Lucky for me, he gave me a sneak preview of all the glorious filth in the film "Dirty!" This is the movie that I starred in, which I previously dubbed 'Porn Camp'. Holy fuck! Those scenes are CRAZY HOT!! I mean I've never been so proud of a scene I've done..... let alone all the hard work by Ty Lebeouf, Scott Tanner, Blu Kennedy, Max Sinclair, Tony Aziz and Luke Riley. This is going to be off the fucking hook!

Added to that, is some new video updates on Edger9.com.

There's the new hot conclusion of the 2-part executive, as well as next week's coming up video of 'The Gardener', where I nail Devin Kihlers on a car hood. HOT! I've included the trailer in this post of 'The Executive' (below).... so have a wank and check it out at Edger9.com!

In other news, I have my appearance at Chaps this evening as part of Folsom Friday. A lot of running around as I've made some promises to stop in at Mr. S, and Powerhouse too.... but it should be a good night. I'm definitely up for getting dirty, and into some mayhem ;-) My ass is kinda plastered around the city right now.... for my appearance at Chaps, and also for the Steamworks ad. Nice. Slutty, Slutty! Hopefully I'll see you out.... but if I don't.... Have a great fucking PRIDE!

FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!!!

I ran into Van Darkholme at the gym, director of Kink.com's Boundgods, and Naked Combat.... and we caught up for a bit. Apparently, I was right... the video I shot with them earlier is very popular! So we started discussing getting me back in the Kink building, for Naked Kombat. This is the no-holds-barred-wrestling-for-top site that Van launched last year. I expressed interest in doing it.... not from a sexual nature... but just in a, let's see how I hold up in a match curiosity.
When I was a kid, I never really got into fights.... being the brains of the family, I pretty much relied on my older siblings for protection. However, sometime in high school, with my older siblings already gone, and I left alone.... I started to realize that I needed to learn how to fight in some capacity. I had a great coach who pushed me into trying wrestling.... Made me very disciplined in my workouts and training, and I eventually won a few championships because of it. After high school, I've dabbled in martial arts and boxing.... but never made a full blown effort to keep up with it. Although they came in handy when I used to bounce for a club, and needed to street brawl.

Through talking to Van, it seemed he wanted to get me to do Naked Combat, but was finding it difficult to find a partner with my build and height.... I said, "Forget about that..... Just get me someone who can fight!" The week went by.... and I pretty much forgot about Naked Kombat until my "twin" friend Samuel Colt, twittered that he was fighting my other friend Luke Riley.... Wish I was on the sidelines to watch that match! Samuel, like me, has some fighting background.... so I had to envision Luke getting his clock cleaned. Sorry Luke, I'm rooting for ya... but you look overmatched. No sooner was I wishing that I could have a match, then I got a call from the Talent Manager at Kink. Awesome! Who'd they line me up with? No other than uber-fighting-stud Dak Ramsey! Woohoo! He may be a bit shorter than me.... but from watching his video on Naked Kombat, I have no doubt that this will be a fucking sweet fight..... Win or lose. Just let me say this.... "Sorry to break it to you Dak, but I'm not planning on losing. Keep your ass clean." :)

Race Cooper on the BIG SCREEN, and Live in PERSON!

Today I have the pleasure of being followed around by a documentary filmmaker, for a documentary on black men in porn.  Look out for it.... not sure what the title is, but it's being pitched to ITVS and Logo.  Cool, huh?  I've only been doing the porn thing for 5 months, and I'm the subject of a doc.  YAY!!!  To check out previous work by this filmmaker, click here.  

The other cool thing going on, is we've scheduled my first porn appearance in San Francisco in conjunction with Edger9.com.  Whoot!  The appearance is for the Folsom Friday event, during Pride Weekend in SF, so there's tons of promotion for it.   Hopefully, a lot of people will come by to see me..... and make me feel like a star.  Otherwise, I'll be getting drunk by myself.... don't make me drink by myself.... I'll be a hot mess! :)  Check out more details of this event on my Facebook Fan page!
