Subject: Re: dog
So sorry that this took so long, unfortunatl for me, everything is in
storage, my hard drives, etc, so i ran over to my parents house anyway,
long story short...lol, here is Buddy, he is a hurricane Katrna rescue, s e
is 7 years ld,wghs 75 pounds, and he is etremely friendly. loves kids, as i
raised hm by my side since i got him at 6 weeks old. I akm a photographer,
so i would bring him onto sets when i shot in studio for clients, and he
has been on the sets of Macy's, Nickelodeon, Loehmanns, etc., and he loves
the models, and they all g crazy over him. he is tall,as his legs are so
long,but that is jus part of the bred, as they are meant to be in swampy
wetands.
if you need anymore in, please let me know.
joe
as you see, he is one of y models, lol, and i photograph him with those
amazing blue eyes all the time.

ok, so, you figured me out. lol, i will give you a bit of insight. i shoot also for calvin kein, carmen marc valvo, nautica, etc.when my 1st ook was released, it became huge, outselling every ther book that year. it made me agay icon-ish kid f perso in that i am cmpared to robert mappelthorepe and to of finland. all of which was never intended, but is something i appreciate and am proud of. so, 2 years ago, i had the month of August off, as no one in fashion works that month, so i went upstate to visit my family and take my dog out of the city to go running, hiking, etc. in the month i was there, my mother broke both of her knees, my father was diagnossed with Alzheimers, and my 12 year od nephew was diagnossed with brain cancer. now, becaue i dont work every day and a lot of my work i can do at home (photoshop, etc) i sublet my apartment and moved upstate to help my sister. i made an arrangement with the guy who sublet my apartment to have him pay the landord directly as i had a lot on my plate, and he was a friend of a friend. 6 months later i get a call from my ex saying he's at the apartment and theres a note on the door to cotact the management company. so i did...nd they told me the rent hadn't been paid in 5 months, and i owed $15,000.  almost died. i tried to contact the guy who subet, but he had, by that time, already moved out and not only had he not paid the rent, but he hd used pay per view to its limt, and just to restore the cable was $1200. so, at that point, even thuh i had lved at tht apartment 995 Chrsopher St) for 15 years, i took it as a sign that it was time to move on and so, called the management company telling them the situation i told them i would make a payment plan, and the, moved out. i was never served eviction papers, ever, and they had my forwarding address, as i left it, because i was stil getting a ton of mail and checks there. i never heard that there was a court case around me and this apartment until last friday, and it killed me because i literally was paying 2500. a month for 15 years, never had a problem, and now, 3 years later, when my family is bette and i'm trying to launch a new book and restart m career, i get the notice that i am basically red flagged, for something i never heard of, was neer given paperwork to appear at, or never had the chance to fight the ase, or to settle it.
so, if you can just try and understand that i am not out to just take advantage of anyoe, but i am trying to get myself back home, to nyc, where i work, and lived for 30 years.


i will speak toyou tomorrow
i hope yu have a great night.

for only me

every single day that goes by, i am amazed just how quikley it went.
how much i thought i had to do, is scary, because probably only 1/10 of what i originally wanted to do, got the slightest touch, and then i moved onto smething else, just as if not more important. but these days are very trying. the nights are getting colder, the days are not as long, or brght, or happy. it feels like a for of death is creeping silently into the room with every shiver i get down my spine, everytime there is a cool breeze.
i'm exhausted.
i keep trying, i keep fighting, i keep failing.
for the first time in my lfe, things ren't going the way they should, or the way i planned.
every door i see comes slamming toward me, every second i spend trying to make things better for mysef, i find myself digging a little deeper into the ground, where i'm just about at 6 feet under.
i don't know how much more i an take.
if i stay in this town anther season, i guarentee you i'll break.
i've spent $2,000. on hotels the last month alone,
i'm dwindling as fast as my bank account, and my mind isn't there as much as it used to be either.
i'm alone.
every night, i lay in bd and hold my bab, the love of my life, Buddy, who, is the only one who has been b my ide through it all. he's the only one that kisses me anymore, the nly one that looks at me with eyes of wonder, the only one that makes me feel ok, secure, and happy.
and without him, i think i'd probablynot have lasted this long...
i had a real estate agent tel me recently she thought it was time i got rid of him, to mae it easier to get an apartment...
i told her to fuck off.
i guess that apartment just wasn't meant to be.
but Buddy, is definatly what the universe intended when they saw what i would be going through, and so, they sent me a beautiful baby boy, an  he watches over me every nght, no matter how hideous the world is around us, i know for a fact, that there is love in his eyes, for only me....
thats the only thing getting me through these last few months...
so, please god, please let this stop, and please let me find a home for Buddy and me...
we've had enough.
we want to go home.
