Not Nick Nolte's Diary, Malibu, California

Scotty is performing his new act at Hollywood Park today. He is going back to his roots as a stuntman. He told me once that although he is an actor now, that he will always be a stuntman to the core, and I for one believe him. He once drove a convertible through a Mexican restaurant. It wasn't for a movie though, it was actually Manolo's birthday. A long night and a short morning as they say. There is an image in my head that I can't let go of, Diary. I saw a young man, an employee at a tattoo parlor doing some touch up work on himself. I assume he was bored and looking to pass the time. His face was heavy yet concentrated. The place was dark yet accessible. There is a prison movie here somewhere, but which way do the bars face? And who plays the warden? I'm off to Kendo.
