I also am sorry for not blogging in a long time.  I have been going through a lot of stressful situations and it has really kept me busy trying to sort things out.

I am still working a lot which is good, but the emotional strain has been a bit much.  I am however, starting to feel like myself again.

Thanks for all the sweet emails and I will try to be better about blogging.

Sorry that I haven’t been on here in awhile.  I had a lot going on.  Divorce, surgery, moving to a new place, losing my house, finding out about yet another friend that is sick…it was a rough few months for me.

I am slowly starting to feel like myself again.  I admit that I am still a little sad and confused, and I am asking why would someone not think I was worth working hard for, I have closed that chapter of my life and moving forward.

I am fortunate to have so many friends and family that care about me.  It has helped me through this rough time, and I feel like I am a stronger and better person for getting through it.

On the bright side, a lot of exciting things have been going on.  One of my greyhounds won a big race.  Inazuma is a fast dog and very sweet.  Lots of personality.

The other great thing is that my clips4sale stores have been doing great along with my nicheclip.  A big thank you to all the fans that have supporting me on that.  I have also had a huge request for customs now and that really has been awesome.  Lots of repeat business.  This helps me tremendously.  It not only helps me, but it allows me to help others by being able to hire them.  The models I hire are my friends and people I have worked with, so it is always fun doing a production.

I also went out and bought a new high def hard drive camera.  I finally got with the times and mini divis are a thing of the past.  The quality is great and I found that I needed to get a new PC to go with it.  My camera couldn’t be detected on the macs…I have no idea why.  I ended up getting Sony Vegas Pro and it is awesome for editing on the PC.

Also, I have been traveling a ton.  http://www.tomiko1.com/calendar.htm

In case you are curious, you can look at my calendar.  I am hoping in 2011 that I won’t have to travel as much.  Although I love it, I admit that I have been burning the candle at both ends.

Anyway, it has been really crazy.

Today I am in Boston.  My last day. I worked with a lot of great people with wrestling sessions and even a punching session.  Also, I got to work with Captured Snapshots.  Great people and a great company.  Always a pleasure.

My adventure will continue on to Maine.  My friends are driving by to pick me up.  It will be a 5 hour drive from here, and then it is all about camping, nature, lobster by the fire, and plenty of picture taking.  I am looking forward to the relaxation and the great company.  They are dear friends of mine and great company.

I also hope to learn to use my new camera.  It is more sophisticated than my point and shoot (which I also brought just in case).  I hope I can get a great picture that I can blow up and frame.  That would be cool.

Anyway, probably won’t have signal and no internet, so no one will be able to reach me until the 12th.

This is going to be so good to get some rest.  I don’t think I ever felt as tired as I do now, and I am so looking forward to this.

Thanks for stopping by and for your support.  It means a lot to me and I really appreciate you being fans and friends.

Have a great weekend.

I will also be posting it on my links section on the right of my blog.  Even if it is $5, every little thing helps.  My friend is only 32!  There is no cure for this disease, but I am hoping that they money I raise will help speed up the process in finding a cure.

Let me tell you a little something about Erika.

I have known her for over 15 years.  She has been a constant light in my life and has always been there for me through bad and good times.  She is genuine, intelligent, warm, loving, beautiful, funny, street smart, full of life, courageous and the list just keeps going on.  I want to do whatever I can to help her.  She is a part of my heart.

I am not going to let this disease beat her.

Erika and Me

On another note,

I am leaving for Ireland tomorrow and will be sure to share pics with you.  I have to tell you, it will be good for me to go because I think I can do some thinking and reflect.  I have been doing a lot of thinking about my life and just how precious it really is.  I think we take life for granted sometimes, but when things happen in your life unexpected, it really can make you think.

I love you guys.  Thanks so much for listening.

Anyway, I just got back from Detroit.  I got snowed in with flights canceled but it was a lot of fun for me.  I made the best of it and shot some more stuff for my clips.   I had a blast working with all these different people (some new and some repeat).  I really love wrestling so it was fun to have a ton of matches while I was there.  I plan on going back in May, so that will be fun.   I also finally met Sybil Starr!!  What a sweet girl and she was a blast to wrestle.  I plan on doing it again when I go back in May if she will have me.

I will be sharing some pics with you soon.  Haven’t uploaded them yet, but I promise I will.

I just wanted to pop on here and wish everyone a Happy Valentine’s Day.   Thanks for being a fan and a friend.  I really appreciate your support.

On a sad note, I got some bad news.  My best friend got diagnosed with MS.  It was a shock.  She is in her early 30’s and so full of life.  I read her email (it is too hard for her to talk about it right now) and I started to cry.  Why is it that the best people in the world have something like that happen to them?  It really makes me mad.  I am flying out to LA on WED and am going to hang out with her.  I think I am going to plan on going back there a little more often for some support.  She means the world to me and it really makes me sad to see her suffering with this knowledge.

Sorry to be a bit of a bummer at the end of the blog.  Just wanted to let you know what was going on.  I am going to try and blog more.  I promise.  Right after my trip to LA, I am heading to Ireland, so I will be gone around a week.  I will definitely have pics to share from that trip and am really looking forward to it.  Life is so short and so unexpected.  It makes me want to live it even more than I already am.  I don’t want to miss anything.

In March things will slow for me a little starting in Mid March.  I am having surgery and will be out for 2 weeks so I should have plenty of time to blog.   It isn’t anything too serious so don’t worry.

Thanks everyone.

I have been super busy with editing, video production and modeling/acting work. It kind of just all piled up on me.

I have been mousing so much with being at the computer a lot that I actually sprained my hand if you can believe it!  I am leaving for Dulles tomorrow…actually working in Fairfax.  Hopefully my wrist feels better.  It is even a challenge to type since it is my right hand that got messed up.

I just wanted to pop in here and say HI.

I really am going to try and blog more on a daily basis when I am in town.  Have you ever felt overwhelmed?  I totally am feeling that way.  Sheesh.  I can’t complain though.  I am thankful to be working this much.

Anyway, just wanted to tell you all thank you.

I have pics from my bday that I will share with you as soon as I upload it on my computer. 

Thanks for your patience!

Lots of exciting things coming up.

I had a wrestling match with a super nice guy. I guess he found bruises on his arm the next day.  DOH!  Am I bad? 

I also had a trampling session with a guy who has become a good friend. He took me to dinner and got me some really super gifts. Very thoughtful.  He even got me a birthday cake!

I shot with Dragonlily and got some great clips.  I look forward to sticking them on my clips store.   Stay tuned for that.

The co-director and his wife “9 Muses” was also in town.  I went over to see them and was interviewed for the “Behind the Scenes” documentary they are doing.  It was fun to see them and hang out a little bit.

I leave tomorrow for North Carolina and get to see my pal,  Savannah.  We are working together and probably going to have a birthday drink.  I fly back on the 24th just in time to see the playoffs and finish editing all my customs I shot.

It has been a busy month and continues to look super busy, so I am feeling very fortunate.  Thank you everyone for your support.

Here is another pic to share with you guys.

Lots of cool things have been going on.

My greyhound team has started racing.  “Team Tomiko” is the official owner name and each of the 9 dogs have been names Japanese names.  My mom helped me pick out some cool names, so hopefully my dogs will be great.

My dog on Sat came in 4th place and it was his first race!  I was so happy about that.  By the way, the only reason I agreed to having this greyhound race team is the guarantee when they retired, they would be adopted.  I love animals as you know as well as nature.  I guess that is why you see the camping pics all the time.

I have a Maine trip in June where I will be doing some camping and then another camping trip in July as well as August.  I am not sure where I am going to go yet, but anywhere will be better than in the Las Vegas heat, right? 

I also worked with webringit.com.  They came out to Vegas and I did some wrestling matches for them as well as a really high intensity bring it match.  I guess the download is selling like crazy and people have been writing me and telling me it is the most intense fight they have ever seen.  I admit it got a little out of hand and more intense than the norm.  I liked watching the footage.  It is an exciting fight to watch.

I have also been busy shooting clips with Rik, Ariel X, Tricia, and tomorrow with Dragonlily. Dia Zerva and I also plan on shooting stuff for our clips store.  I have been editing footage and streaming like crazy.  Every free moment.

One top seller has been with the vore community.  My Worm Invasion and Worm Attack has taken off.  I have more Worm episodes I have shot that aren’t up yet, but I am really excited to see what the response will be.

I also have other ideas for my worm which will be awesome.   If you are curious, there are still pics on my nicheclips store as well as my tomiko fetish store #3308 on clips4sale.

I lifted and carried Dia today for a company and she did the same.  I think we got a good workout.  I could feel it now.   We also, wrestled and boxed…oh yes…and had a pillow fight.  Fun stuff.

This week is going to be super busy.

I have a ton of errands as well as the gym tomorrow, 3 hour shoot, then wrestling session on Tues, Trample session on Wed, interview for behind the scenes with the movie I did “9 Muses” on Thurs and then I fly to NC where I will be working with Kace and my pal, Savannah.

I will get back in time on Sunday to watch the Vikings, Saints playoffs and then it is my bday the next day!  Where did the time go?

If you guys want to feel tired, check out my calendar on my website.

Well, I think it is time for me to get some sleep.  Here are some pics from some shoots I did.

Thought in honor of my birthday month, I would share some pics of me in my bday suit.

Have a great day everyone.  This is Tomiko signing out.  Over and out.

I can’t believe how long it has been since I blogged.  Believe it or not, I have been working and traveling like crazy.  Literally, I worked right before Christmas and then the day after.  We are coming up to New Years Day and I am working that day and the next couple of days…then all that week.  I have no complaints, but it really has been crazy.

I had a wonderful Christmas full of surprises.  Some things were Packer jackets, purses, shirts, a new mini mac!!!!  Those are just a few things.  I also got season 1 and 2 of Dexter.  I already ordered Season 3.  One show I really love but missed all of Season 3 because I didn’t have Showtime.   Also and Amazon gift certificate.  That rocks!

I am bummed that the new mini has a totally different back to it and I am keeping the old mini and using both for editing.  Unfortunately, I am having a difficult time finding the part I need for it, so I may just get a new monitor and keyboard and mouse for it and just get some kind of shared network going between the two along with the already shared network I have with my laptop and pc.  I can’t wait to see what the new mini has on it for iDVD and iMovie.

I am like a kid in a candy store when it comes to electronics.   I was jumping for joy to get a new mouse for my pc.  Can you say geek?  I totally am one.  lol

I really ate a bunch of junk these last 5 days or so.  The darn holidays do that to me!  I am going to the gym tomorrow with my trainer and that should knock some of the lard off.   Anyway, I have to say that I am really looking forward to hanging out with my mom on New Year’s Eve and doing the Bingo tournament.  I am so excited about Bingo.

In fact, they have one scheduled in Jan on my birthday, so I am going to sign up for that one, too!!!    HEHEHE.  OK I have gone insane or am going on little sleep or a little of both..perhaps it is all the sugar from the endless cookies I have been munching on!  Well, I am watching what I eat now for sure.

Here are some pics from Kobe’s birthday celebration when she came out to Vegas earlier in December.

Hope you like these.  Here is a picture I just got from a recent shoot. Hope you like it.

OK  off to bed for me.  I am pooped!  In case I don’t get on here before New Years, I wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year!  Please be safe out there.

Thanks so much for all your support in 2009 as well as the years before.  I honestly don’t think I would be doing as well without your support.  I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Goodnight.

Here is a picture from a party I was at.  It is Footnight hosted by Steve and he does one party a month here in Vegas as well as San Diego and Los Angeles.  I would like to go to some of the other parties.  I think it would be fun.

Ho Ho Ho!!!

I have to cut this short, but I wanted to drop in and just throw out some holiday wishes your way.  Thanks so much for your support, your friendship, your love.    You guys rock!

I am heading out to Maryland on Sat and will have yet more clips to shoot.  That is a good thing because that means there will be a lot of cool and interesting stories coming your way.  Lots of fun stuff, I guarantee.

Since I was working, I had some Italian delivered.  Oh my!!!  I ate to much spaghetti. I feel ready to explode and no way I can go to bed right away.  Why did I do it?  lol

Hope you are all doing well.  Going to go back to editing.

Thanks for stopping by and as always I appreciate your support.
