My Cristal Life - The Music Video

Say what you want about me, but don’t claim that I don’t put out. Here is my 6th major music video production in 3 years. This one is extra special as it is an original song by my band, The Sexpatriots. Patrick wrote the song. I helped with the lyrics (as will become obvious when you hear it).


You’d like to watch the other videos again? Of course you would!

If you can afford the flight, we hope to see you at our last gig before summer holidays this Friday night, June 5th, at Murphy’s Pub.

Ringo Rules Australian Rules


I live a bizarre life. Earlier this week I was selected as a member of the Philippine National Team of Australian Rules Football. We played an international tournament this weekend here in Manila. If you’re wondering what the hell Aussie rules is, it is this…

Keep in mind those are professionals. I look nothing like that. And if anyone runs at me that hard, I get down in the fetal position immediately. But I really did play in the tournament. We didn’t win many games, and I didn’t score any goals, but I did give myself the award for “Best American on The Philippine National Australian Rules Team.”

Ringo is Ready to Get Prolific


As a loyal reader of the Manila All Star blog site, you must be thinking “Ringo has let me down. How can I live vicariously through him if he is not producing literary witticisms and semi-factual adventures?” My apologies. But I’m starting to feel it again. You may want to stretch out, because I prophesize that my production rate is about to get prolific*. Here’s what you have to look forward to……

• Magazine article on The Sexpatriots: A magazine in Manila entitled Expat Travel and Leisure recently sent an editor and photographer to interview my band. I hope the title of the article is Sexpats for Expats.

• Original Music Video: We are literally days away from the release of The Sexpatriots first music video. Unlike the debacle where MC Hammer nearly sued me for copyright violation, this will be completely legal. The pic above is from the vid.

• Relocation of Awesometown Studios. That’s right, I’m moving again. Those bastards that own my student loan have caught up to me. Look for a high speed video tour of my new pad soon.

• Ringo’s US tour: I’ll be performing in Chicago, the Dirty South (Lexington, KY), St. Louis, Columbia, and KC. Please go to ticketmaster for concert and ticket info.

• Ringo in Europe: My manager has decided that I have been rocking the 3rd World for long enough, and that I need some culture. Unbeknownst to him though, my tour of culture will be conducted by the illustrious Mark Gants (in Germany) and the Magnanimous* Marc Shelley (in Switzerland).

* I looked up the definition of “prolific.” And it is certainly the appropriate word here, especially when you look at its alliteration value in that sentence. Admittedly though, I don’t really know what magnanimous means.
