Journal update
Hi everyone, sorry for the late update. I posted a bonus as an apology. The days are FLYING by. I’m constantly busy but still not getting the things done I want to get done. My mind and body are a bit fixated on getting that new (old) house livable. I NEED to sell my condo because all of these costs are eating me alive. I hate it. It will be worth it in the end. I know that….All the cash and labor is just one more obstacle but a step in the right direction towards long term happiness I suppose but it is making for a lot of unhappiness. lol. It has been a really interesting few years that is for sure.
On another note last weekend my in-laws came. Preparing for perfect vanillas in a not so vanilla life is really hard….hiding everything at the bank and even at the condo. Yikes. I think we did an excellent job aside from the handcuffs on the headboard of my bed at the condo. Oops, they are such a permanent fixture they don’t seem out of place to me. They may have seen them in passing but oh well.
The last day of their visit our big dog Sookie was running around the backyard of our new home- the one we are not living in yet. Well she ran too hard and drank too much water at some point and Anthony found her all bloated up and foaming at the mouth, going into shock. Well he took her to the emergency vet, after hours on a weekend. They knew what it was right away- it happens to big dogs with broad chests and thin waists often. She’s a St Bernard mix. Anyway it didn’t look like she was going to make it. This dog is my husbands true companion. They have that kind of special dog human love that people that are not animal people could never understand. Anyway, we proceeded to try to save her life and two surgeries, 3 days and thousands of dollars later we got our dog back. Let me clarify- we are not really people people, and we have been very anti-social the last few years trying to build our careers and fix our building and children are not a thing we will ever do so our pets are extra dear to us.
She is healing very nicely and if all goes as planned we should be able to spend years with her!! It was a really shitty couple of days and the pain of the vet bill is a very fresh wound. We could not let her die after she had just been galloping around like a majestic creature hours before. We had to try to save her and we did! We really lucked out….
Well after researching bloat/ twisted stomach and reading many sad stories I thought I would share the information since it is the second biggest killer of dogs. So if you fancy yourself a dog person and want to arm yourself with knowledge check out the link below. It is an easy read even for someone that has a hard time staying focused on one thing.

Back to work, the shoot schedule in April is out of control busy… I’ll make a list of who and when as soon as I get a chance in case any of you would like a custom video although I made a journal entry on it a couple weeks ago.
Some of you have been concerned that I’ve mostly disappeared from tumblr and twitter. I’m alive, I’m just really consumed with other things. I will get back to it soon. I’m not anti-social media. In fact I love twitter because it is perfect for my short attention span. I can be present without it being too consuming. I love tumblr because I think it is the most beneficial place to “advertise” my website.
On another note, some of you are pretty out of control posting my clips for free on those sites full of stolen content and some of you are foolish enough to use the same username as members of my site as you do to post my content for free. I’m in shitty spirits and not feeling forgiving at this point so a handful of you will be blocked from borntobebound by the weekend for not just being crooks, or thieves but for being enemies- certainly not fans. There are 3 new stolen content sites that were just brought to my attention. I PAY a company to remove the clips. They kill HUNDREDS of links a week for me but their bots hadn’t picked up on these newer sites but that will be taken care of soon. I thank those of you that let me know where the stolen content pops up and for those of you producers that come and read my site if you want to know who the firm is that removes the links for me let me know. I’m happy with their service, once they are aware of something they handle it.
Ok, time to pack up the office and head home to attempt sleep.
One last things, simple storyline ideas fellas….if you have them please send them over. I like ideas and suggestions…..not pages and pages of customs you’d like me to produce for free 😉
Also I’ve really only been in my email here twice in the past week- no joke. Yes I’m slow and I’m sorrrryyyyyyyy.
Goodnight!!
