  • I have known Peter Monn and Alex Paredes as the Boys of Raannt for some time now. I have also known them as individuals who are trying to make a difference in a time where we desperately need such individuals. Peter has been so unbelievably honest about his addiction problem and about not always being perfect and that has always struck me as refreshing as well as necessary. I was very happy that they agreed to talk to me about their lives and about their site, The Boys of Raannt. It is more than just an entertainment blog, it is about teaching and uplifting people. Peter also has a blog of his own, where he discusses his past at length. His battles with drugs and alcohol are depicted as they truly were. No sugar coating, no fluff. I appreciate his honesty and I am sure many people need to hear his stories.
