yeah, i’m nearly the 80 percent mark finally. a lot of self help books and motivational speakers preach on the concept known as the 80/20 principle. it basically means that whenever you set out to achieve a goal, project, etc… the first 80% is all hard work with no payoff. you’re trudging uphill, spinning your wheels, fighting for traction. then something happens one day and you crest that hill. and it all gets easier. its all downhill from there. but most people quit when they’re on the 99 yard line about to score. me on the other hand, will do whatever it takes to carry a project to completion. i’m super busy, but very soon…

26 Feb 2010 / Behind the Lens, Lets make some Porn
Well today was an interesting one. A whale went buckwild at seaworld here in Orlando FL and straight up chomped a white woman. People are perplexed as to “how and why” this could happen. I have taken my kids to see the shamu whale show about 7 times and I’ve noticed they keep the whales stored in a holding tank comparable to the size of your bathtub. I’m 5ft 9 so i’m a short little negro but I still have to bend my legs and sit “indian style” (inside lol) to fit my black ass in the tub. And these whales have to go thru life like this. Apparently this big mofo killed some other park worker 20yrs ago. I wouldn’t even really say that it went nuts, it just acted out its nature. All of this happened of course, as I was POVing Cameron Keys in my little studio apartment.
I’m working on a white girl project involving her, Lisa Sparxxx, and some amateur talent so I can throw together a website and get a DVD line started. Its a lot of fucking work, literally. And since my budget is nonexistant I’ve been trying to work out content trades with the models and anything else along the lines to lower the production cost. I’m bound to offend some people with this shit, but such is life. One interesting facet that Cameron pointed out to me yesterday was when she said “Shimmy, its a movie… it doesn’t have to make sense”. And she’s right. Thats why Cameron is a scantily clad Jehovah’s Witness knocking on my door, trying to show me the way to heaven the best way she knows how. I thought it was pretty funny, and thats really all that matters at the end of the day. I’m going to quit overthinking things and just do them ya know. Because movies don’t have to make any sense at all. If people are going nuts over this “Avatar” shit then I know I’ve got a good shot with my vivid imagination. Its amazing what any fool with a camera can create given the opportunity. More on this later, its late and I’m tired.

12 Feb 2010 / Casual Observations, Life Lessons, Relationships
Buckle up and return your seats and tray tables to their original upright positions. I just got back from doing a few promo gigs out here in florida. They’re having the big daytona 500 race this week out here, speed week I think they call it… and this model agency hired me on to be a car show “rent a model” with some other model type skinny russian broads who barely speak any english. Russian girls are hot but they dont smile too much… anyhow you know how they want like a multicultural talent pool and all at these big corporate events, and since nascar is mostly a redneck sport and has a 0.02% negro audience I guess I got handpicked to be the black boy posterchild. Whatever nigga just cut the check for the right amount… so thats my day, and my week here actually. I’m hustling, ponying up some cash for my next video project so I can sell sell sell and get paid paid paid. Photo above is me and Ryu from Latindollars at Saphirre at the 2010 players ball. Thanks for the bottle service WebAir and D-money the free Limo service and VIP was much appreciated man!So getting back to florida here and now, its like 2am and after a long 12 hour workday of being a rent-a-coon I fell asleep, just woke up and checked my email. I got something from my mom, a Fwd’d msg actually from my ex who asked for some dollars a few days ago. Something along the lines of “send money now” and we got a 500 dollar phone bill lol. Quit calling niggas in jail and out of your area code and country then. Use skype like every other motherfucker does in this recession, its free. I then read a little deeper cause my eyes are tired, and its 2am and theres something in the email about how I’m fucking some bitches, doing this and that to some indians, i’m a disgusting horrible person, pervert, etc, etc. I still didnt read all that shit in its entirely, cause its 2am, I’m thirsty, and I need to get ready to hit the gym for my workout before cranking out some computer work.
In my opinion if you have internet access, a home with 4 walls, with functional utilities, and a fixed monthly income you are not as bad off as you think. Go figure it out, and if this bitch thinks I care if my family knows that I make adult films for a living she’s got another thing coming. Its just entertainment for profit, and I promote smiles. I recorded a Shimmy Show broadcast about this as I’m making my smoothie right now. And it was a really good strawberry banana smoothie, all frothy on top just like I like it Mmmm mmm good
Its all good and its all fun. Fun for adults. Smiles. Laughs. Giggles. Happiness. Joy… Ain’t that right Sierra?Fresh White tshirt in my all-white cabby… Yeah, she a girl but she call me daddy

06 Feb 2010 / Behind the Lens, Lets make some Porn, Niche Adult Films
I have been getting a few emails from my paying website members @NDNgirls.com saying they want to see more native american porn stars, because my site promises them “native porn stars, college girls, welfare chicks… we don’t care!” in its slogan. And that is true. Yes. But my site is mostly AMATEUR indian girls next door because there are only a few indian porn stars with any notoriety, that are active in the business (ie: still bookable). Jezebelle Bond is nowhere to be found. Aria Giovanni is insanely gorgeous and currently out of my price range until I get a Bentley GT. Penny Lynn is no longer working. Hyapatia Lee is probably a grandmother by now… so that leaves only a handful of readily available, authentic talent. I’ll be happy to license the above mentioned girls videos and add them to the members area even though I didn’t originally film their scenes, but I’m not going to compromise and try to pass off some white girls with feathers in their hair as indians. I will stay true to the sites purpose and deliver the real deal. Otherwise whats the point? I’ve had model agencies try to get me to film some latinas, who by the way were SMOKIN HOT yet they were not indian… sure I might use them for a different video project, but you know the deal. NDNgirls = indian girls, no exceptions. I’m sure I could cruise coast to coast when time and money permits and just find girls who are model material, but for now mostly amateurs are all thats in my budget, which is generally next to nothing. And I ain’t even kidding. I hustle so many odd jobs, ebay auctions, and craigslist gigs just to put up the content you negroes see right now, and even that wasn’t easy… but yeah man I’ve been pulling teeth over the past few months trying to get a shoot with Ruby Knox organized.Its a lot of fucking work to sync things up with a specific model because they generally are busy juggling several other projects at once, which they need to get paid. I got ahold of Ruby Knox’s agent 2 months ago. Then I got her other agent (this girl stays busy!) and after explaining everything in detail since I’m a relatively new producer with a low key site I got the green light to book her.
Unfortunately or not, however you look at it she only does Solo or Girl-Girl. Which will have to do, simply because she is Ruby motherfuckin Knox and she’s the only one on the planet. Well Taj Passion is next in line. So I gotta get my money on to film both of these gorgeous ladies, and I will make it happen soon. So here I am in florida, having to plan a trip out to sunny California just so I can film one scene, of one very fine ass girl, and its going to cost me at least a grand in shooting, travel, and booking expenses. And thats doing it on the cheap with me flying southwest, eating once a day from the dollar menu, and returning home as soon as I take the tape out of the camera. Because travel can eat up money faster than anything. But like I said, its Ruby motherfuckin Knox and in my opinion she is worth the trouble because she’s unique, funny, and likeable. I think my members will appreciate her and her exclusive scene with NDNgirls, whatever it turns out to be is sure to be a winner that will entice a few fellas to join and see what she’s all about. She’s actually a hometown girl from where I grew up in Cali so thats an interesting coincidence. Been chatting with her on that twitter shit and I just know you guys will love some Ruby Knox, whatever type of scene it its.
Ruby I’m gonna spill the beans and give you a little shameless self promotion… if you guys have HBO watch for her on “Coed Confidential Season 4″. I think it’s a big brother type of show where people fuck each other, kinda like 7livesExposed on PlayboyTV back in the day. Not sure if that still comes on as I don’t watch TV anymore. You guys can also live chat with Ruby on her camsite RubyKnox.me and she’s available most evenings for your viewing pleasure. I’ll update the site with her scene as soon as the tape is fresh off the camera.
In the meantime my quest for more indian models continues. So far here in Florida, Sierra Sanchez is it. And I’ve already filmed her. I s’pose I could shoot another scene with her and just may do that, but would rather get some new fresh faces up there first. I have one local amateur I’ll be putting up in the members area soon, aside from that I’ll be headed back out west to film some Sioux and Navajo girls in Texas/Oklahoma as many members are requesting this. And I do my best to oblige. So stick in there guys, I’m working on making the flicks better, the chicks hotter, etc. I even got some new lighting gear and ikea furniture to play with so my sets will look a little more fun. My living room looks like a hippie lego playhouse now and is still a work in progress, will paint the wall some bright obnoxious color so the girls skin tones stick out, etc. By the way this is the classic Ikea klippan porn couch, with removable slipcovers. The price dropped to $180 and I just had to nab it at that price since I am on a budget. I think my whole “porno set” here was purchased for just over $300:

I’ll be working on the bedroom next to liven it up a little, you know, so my videos on the paysite and clips4sale stores don’t look all budget and shit (even though they are). But the vids will come out better, with better models, better cam equipment (I have a real pro light now, yah!!), and better sets. Also will be doing some interracial scenes with Lisa Sparxxx in March for yet another site I’ll be launching soon. Then I’ll be doing a blasian site after that (black/asian). Time to get busy here and everyday I’m hustlin like Rick Ross. Much thanks to all you members and folks who support my work. I’m considering getting some prints from Fang Ling Lee for my asian themed bedroom set, whatcha guys think? Total spend here was $270 baby… shoppin the As-Is bin of Ikea for the bedframe with a little nick on the inside… everything else new:

Back to work I go… YES the videos will get better I promise. And the girls will get HOTTER!

05 Feb 2010 / Adult Industry, Amateur Models Wanted, Behind the Lens, Lets make some Porn
So I’m driving on the way home and feeling super good after getting a good lay and traffic gets light… so I whip out my iPhone and check my email at 65mph. Don’t try this at home folks I am a professional driver… anyhow I got the usual crap in my inbox. Bills, spam, bookings, hate mail, ebay shit… then one headline sticks out “HALEY CUMMINGS AVAILABLE NOW”. From Foxx modeling on the west coast. If you recall back on this blog a few months ago I filmed the worlds longest blowjob scene (45 fuckkin minutes!) with Haley and her boyfriend in my little tiny 100sq ft office. During business hours at that, and they were loud as a motherfucker too. I could imagine what the insurance salesmens and lawyers in the offices next door were thinking.So yeah man I actually felt proud of her for a minute happy she is making a come up and getting somewhere in the industry. In florida peeps are always broke as a motherfucker and sometimes… well often times… you just gotta get up outta the area to get your paper on. And for her to figure that out at 18yrs old makes me give her mad props. I still have their tapes in a box in my closet that I filmed and I haven’t done anything with it yet because I don’t have a themed site to put it on, hopefully her 1st b/g scene I shot will be a prized collectors item or something once she’s plastered all over everyones websites and dvds from doing the LA porn circuit. Go getcha money on girl. And put the glasses back on that was my idea and you look so much naughtier with them on. By the way if anyone wants to buy that white couch it’s still in my old office space. Matter of fact you can have it for free just go pick it up. Later folks…

31 Jan 2010 / Money Hustle, Nothing to do with Porn

I’ve been posted up in my new spot for about a week now and haven’t even gotten around to furnishing it yet. I don’t like to bring old shit into new living spaces so I’m getting some Ikea stuff this week, and Suze baby if you’re reading this I’m gonna need to use your employee discount
On to more pressing matters, for the past 4 days I haven’t been able to get too much actual website/computer work done cause this white chick has been staying with me for a little bit trying to make her some bucks on the internet. And she has done so, which is a good thing because when I went to get her the power had got shut off at her apt and she was in all kinds of dire straits. So after a few days with me she is back on her feet and in a few hours I’m gonna run her happy ass back home. Thats the good news, her problems are solved and she’s outta my hair.I wish 18 year olds had a mute button. really i do. All day and night on the phone, computer, webcam with her loser boyfriend wondering why she’s broke and has no hot water or utilities. I wanna buy a big fish from an open air seafood market and just smack the shit out of her with it I swear. But anyhow such is life, and I do what I can for people. Just the annoyance factor that goes with the territory is unbelievable. So much so, I should tape record some of this shit for rainy day entertainment. This chick litterally gets in arguments with herself, and loses all day and night. Constant drama addiction, like its a narcotic… and some nigga she’s got on deck is actually stupid enough to answer the phone and argue back with her at 3am. She lives for this shit. Me on the other hand, I’m 31 and can’t wait to hear the quietness of the birds chirping on my balcony in the morning while I do pushups and my exercise ball workout, and watch some of my own porn on my flatscreen. I gotta run for now, will update more in a bit. At least I checked some C notes for my trouble. Nice to meet all you yoga folks and hippie chicks too today, you know who you are. Laters.

23 Jan 2010 / Conventions & Shows
Haven’t touched a computer in 3 weeks and I’m back on the grind again. Lotsa stuff to catch up on. I am happy that I just moved into my little spot on the water so the year is off to a kickass start. AEE and Internext was great, who wouldn’t wanna spend 2 weeks in Vegas, eating at world class all you can eat buffets and partying with porn starlets and hardbody strippers all day and nite. And occasionally trading business cards with industry folks. Though its really about having a great time. I want to give a special shout out and thank you to D-Money, Kendra, Brad and Corey at Mojohost, Gerard at WebAir, and everyone else who made things come together. I had a great time, am fully recharged and ready to get rolling on everything. DVD distribution, more websites, you name it… can’t wait to start filming some local projects here too. Vegas I miss you baby, cya again soon….

29 Dec 2009 / Advice to new webmasters, Goals & Aspirations, Life Lessons, Money Hustle
Well I made it through the year alive and well, and its been a good one. Really! Despite the fuckedup economy and all I managed to make a come up. This time last year I was up in Canada, broke, cold, and freezing my nuts off. I didn’t even own a video camera or a website other than this silly blog. In less than a year I’ve gotten all my camera gear, POV filmed about 30 girls, attended 7 porn conventions all over the country, launched my first paysite in almost a decade (Ndngirls.com) and am on the fast track to getting my shit back together, with many new sites and concepts in the works that I won’t get discuss. All I can say is these new sites of mine are fucking funny, and fun to create. I like what I do. Whereas before, 10yrs ago in the biz I didn’t. I didn’t really like porn actually, it was just a ways to a means. Now I like making porn my way, and its fun and lucrative. Its an enjoyable hobby, and even though it requires long hours of post production to piece everything together it is fun to conceptualize shit in your head and then get living breathing humans to follow through with it.I could be working a square job still, like I’ve had so many this year just so I could hustle up cash for my video equipment and money to pay the girls and all, but that sucks. I don’t want a soul crushing, life draining occupation that makes my feet, back, and brain hurt at the end of every day. Whether you know it or not, a year ago I was delivering newspapers in Canada. I was an illegal USA immigrant up there, trying to do the ‘right thing’ and live near my kids and all and that was the only “under the table” hustle job I could get. I would strap on 2 80lb sacks filled with papers, and have to trudge uphill icy driveways in -40 degree weather in snowstorms and shit just to get by. I think I made 10 cents for every paper I delivered, and it had to be in their mailbox by 8am or I would catch hell. That job fucking sucked, and I nearly lost 2 of my fingers to frostbite its a miracle I can still type. Everyone has setbacks and hardships, not trying to say I’m all special and shit, and if you’ve got a blog with a similar story I’d love to hear/read it for reals.
So anyway after getting my shit back together, I returned up north to get my money from them niggas in the snow. I film about half of my girls up there, often in the same neighborhoods I delivered papers to in the morning. It brings a smile to my face to get some get-back, and make some cash at the same time. So in wrapping things up for this year, most of my goals have in fact been accomplished. Check out this earlier post from February 2009 to see what I mean and when you’re done, you can listen to my whole yearend wrapup podcast at shimmyshow.com
See yall in Vegas for AVN and Internext in a few days, happy new years and kwanzaa

Apparently I’m a “self-hating racist male chauvinist pig, living a Blaxploitation movie pimp stereotype”
No Comments24 Dec 2009 / About Me, Independent Films, Nothing to do with PornFor those of you that don’t know, I post on a few discussion forums and blogs every now and then if I see something appropriate I can chime in on. Here’s today’s judgement from bluecorncomics, some indian website forum/blog I frequent. There was a very judgemental post about Taj Passion, a native navajo girl I will be filming soon alongside with Asiandivagirls.com, so I posted and added my 2 cents about indians doing porn, etc… and apparently I’m a “self-hating racist male chauvinist pig, living a Blaxploitation movie pimp stereotype“. And this darla bitch would be happier if some cracker ass cracker simp was running my NDNgirls website rather than me because they know how to treat ladies. Ohkay. Entertaining.
hey folks, relax… its just a fucking movie
now go buy a discounted trial membership to NDNgirls.com for $1.00 and be entertained. Think of it as my Kwanzaa gift to you. Enjoy, I’m off to Cali and Vegas beeyotch
