Back to Work on Monday
I am feeling so much better. I'm headiong to my office tomorrow to get some work done. There is so much to catch up on! HOpefully I'll keep on this upward trend of feeling better and able to start shooting more talent soon. That probably won't be until mid-may or so. We'll have to see how things go. I don't want to push myself too hard but I always push myself regardless,lol.
I'm planning on several trips this summer and I'm so excited about all of them. My first trip is to LA in mid-May where I"m planning to do a trade shoot with Ashley Rene. I'd also like to get test shots done for Stephen Hicks and Suze Randal and schedule some magazine shoots if they are interested. The end of May I'm going for a long weekend out to Florida for the Fetish Factory Annual party.LA Erotica is in June and there is an event in San Francisco that I was to attend as well. In the meantime of traveling I plan to shoot as much as possible for my own projects as well as for other people and network.
I've also been asked to produce and star in a fetish show. I am planning the concepts and choreography now. A producer from Showtime is doing a reality show at the same club and I'll get to meet with him too. All good things ;)
The year started off slow and tedious, being ill didn't help, but now I'm ready to get life back in gear!

Health Update...kind of
I went to a cardiologist today. I was having shortnes of breath so its a good idea to rule out my heart in all this mess. He sounded optimistic but ordered an ecocardiogram for me this coming Tuesday. My chirpractor is doing a Chem Analysis on Tuesday to see what he can do to releive the pain. I also have blood work for a multitude of things on Monday. Its very frustrating but medicine is a process of ruling things out and educated guessing,sigh...
My joints still hurt and its hard to go up and down stairs, stand for very long or walk around longer than 5 minutes. I'm taking a steroid pack to relieve the joint pressure and 800ml ibuprofen along with cranberry extract pills(natural diuretic) to get rid of some of the water retention. I'm hoping this trip to LA to see the internist and world class OBGYN to do the colposcopy and check me out once again. I'll be in LA for tests for 3-5 days. I'll probably get a scope down my throat and another ultrasound. Good thing I have Insurance!
With all these things going on, its made rethink a lot of things. What do I really want, what do I want to do? I tend to re-evaluate myself a couple times a year to make sure that this business is still fun and I'm on the right path. I am but once I get better, I am planning to do a lot of projects. Life is too short for procrastination. I'll probably be in LA a few times, once a month again, for shoots with other companies as well as magazine shoots. I have a photographer in Nashville that wants to shoot me for Hustler's Taboo Magazine and his books. There is another in Chicago that I have wanted to work with for a long time as well.
I'm on pause right now but I'll hit the ground running once I feel better. No chance of slowing down and now that I'm in the position to make all these projects happen, look out!

Hobby from Old
When I was in high school I had a ceramics class and I fell in love with the medium of clay. I made all sorts of things and more than the class required. I even made a mother’s day gift for my mom that was a large yellow teapot like in Alice in Wonderland but it had blue roses and vines all over it as accents. It was beautiful and lame it into the state art contest, though I don’t remember which one. Alas, my gift to my mom was stolen and I wanted to hang the bastards from their toenails. The piece didn’t win anything but I was more upset that I then didn’t have a gift for Mother’s day. My mom was really cool about it all and said no biggie about gifts. She is cool like that.
Anyway, I have taken up the hobby of ceramics again and I’m thrilled that I have everything that I need to start creating the projects that I love. I enjoy creating scenes of miniature whimsical creatures doing what fairy folk do in the woods(no, not shitting on a rock) like playing in the stream, reading a book, visiting a friend, ect. I love miniatures so much that they needn’t be of living things. I also like to create rooms like in a doll house complete with all the furnishings. I never played with the dollhouse the way most children do. I just decorated the rooms and collected miniature things like furniture, dinnerware, and anything else you can imagine for a dollhouse that I could afford by collecting cans for the local recycling company. They paid by the pound for aluminum cans. I must admit that I sometimes packed a few rocks in the cans because I saw something I particularly wanted but didn’t have the patience to save up for.
I think ceramic sculpture will be another great creative outlet for me. I can get lost in art for hours and now that I have the tools to do so, I can’t wait to have the time to dive in. I would love to make figurines of my animals but I don’t think I’m that talented for it. Maybe with the books I have for sculpture, I can learn the techniques. I have always had a hard time with animals and people. I guess that’s why I like whimsical creatures, they have no scale or rules to their forms.
