Horndawg Productions
My experiences as an amateur pornographer
BLOG.HORNDAWGPRODUCTIONS.COM

And Now For A Word From Our Sponsor

In October of 2008, just before Horndawg Productions was incorporated and just before "Stray Dawgz" our first release, came out, I had gotten the "brilliant" idea of making money via affiliate links. Only I didn't know how any of that worked! Me being me, I forged ahead anyway and bought the domain name that would allow The Horndawgz Playground to come to life. Of course, I didn't think it would take nearly as long as it has. All I can say is that if The Horndawgz Playground were a real baby, the 9 months are up. Time to push this puppy out! So, after a lot of heavy breathing, pushing really, really hard and busting my ass learning about affiliate links, applying for them, as well as working for a friggin' genius with that stuff (thanks, Jay!) I've given one final push and guess what? I DIDN'T FART!

Instead, The Horndawgz Playground is now ready to come out. In fact, I feel like I'm crowning at the moment. But the new baby should be out tomorrow, Thursday, July 2nd. Be sure and check it out.

Though we're hoping to make some money with The Horndawgz Playground via affiliate links, it is also our personal goal to bring attention to people in the industry we might have worked with, a product we might have used, and other amateur porn producers. We're planning on showcasing different studios as well as giving personal reviews on DVD's we've seen or websites we've joined and tried personally. Another thing we want to do is feature different artists whose work we enjoy.

Please note that the only reason why we didn't want to roll all of this into the Horndawg Productions blog was simply to keep the first one on a more personal level. We didn't want our other interests, or the pimping of affiliate links, to overshadow the multitude of experiences we've been having, and will continue to havem with filming for Horndawgz.

We hope you like the new blog and that you subscribe to The Horndawgz Playground. Just enter your e-mail in the space provided. And if you have any interests you'd like us to explore, an artist whose work you'd like to see featured, or if you have an adult site you'd like us to review, be sure to drop us a line. As time permits, we will do everything we can to get them out to play at The Horndawgz Playground!

As always, thanks for reading and feel free to comment or forward to those who may find this of interest.

Johnny Miles Is Launched

Is if life weren't hectic enough . . .

In my spare time, I finally decided it was the right opportunity to launch Johnny Miles right off his ass and cast him out into the world. Yes, my alter-ego now has his own website! It's more of an on-line visual resume.

My goal, excuse me, Johnny's goal is to attract people who need erotic writing, adult film editing using a Mac and iMovie software, camera work, as well as studios who might be interested in filming a slightly used, hairy latin, daddy bear with a little extra. Some simple website design work, using iWeb, would be helpful as well.

Visit Johnny Miles now and let him know what you think of the sight. Feel free to forward to those who might be able to use his services.

And, as always, thank you for reading!

Dawg Eat Dawg

So, here we are, a couple of days from the end of June. While cities across the country are just gearing up for summer, sunny South Florida has been battling it for a while now. And we are sweltering!

As far as I'm concerned, the Dawg Days of Summer are here. Hmmm. I think that sounds like another title in the making!

It's brutal here in Fort Lauderdale. I don't even want to leave the house unless it's nightfall! Sad thing is we still have July, August and September before it starts to cool down again.

The past few months have been spent working with RawTop via the internet. I'm really enjoying that! I'm also doing some writing, working on my novel and, yes, editing. And guess what? We're done with our latest title! YAY! Can I get a Hail Mary, Amen and Hallelujah? Fuck. It's taken a while, I know. I think in part it was because I find it far more difficult to edit our own stuff than it is to edit someone else's. And for those of you who know what editing is like, by the time you get to the end -- where you have to view the DVD from beginning to end -- you're like, oh god. If I have to look at this one more time . . .

But you get past it and then it's suddenly over. Whoosh! Like childbirth. There are a few things we still need to do -- DVD label artwork for our personal copies and the models, trailer, filing of paperwork -- but the rest is all done. The Master Copy was burned Thursday night while sleeping as it takes a long time and it's best to leave the computer alone or the Master will get fucked up. And the really cool thing about that was that it only took one try! Then, Friday morning while folding clothes, I viewed it and checked for any glitches, pixelation, etc. And off to the Post Office it went. Wipe hand across the brow. WHEW!

As it stands now, the folks at AMVC say it should be available for purchase July 10th; thanks David and AMVC gang! We're hoping it does well as there are several people suddenly starting to e-mail and call but the cash flow just isn't there. And I'm hesitant to tap personal money anymore as it is a bit limited and I have to make it stretch a bit further.

I just hope that after it's released, AEBN doesn't sit on the streaming end of things the way they have with A Dawg & His Bone; which has yet to come out, even after 8 weeks of being with them. Very frustrating and best not go there or I start getting, no pun intended, pissed.

I'm still gainfully unemployed, though I feel that things are beginning to truly gel for me working for myself, from home. That's something I still need to continue to visualize, with more detail, so I can release it to the universe as lately, what I think of seems to manifest itself. Except for the tax-free million dollar inheritance from some rich, distant relative.


At any rate, the title of our latest release is "Dawg Eat Dawg." It stars Rocky C. and Jesus Gutierez. We hope to have the trailer together for sometime next week. Stay tuned for that. In the meantime, for pictures of the two models, click here. They are the first set of pics.

Depending on how this DVD sells, we hope to bring back Jesus. He was the sexy, top Cuban Daddy, bald, tattooed, big balls. For his pictures, click here, then scroll towards the bottom. We won't be able to bring back Rocky, however. He was the cute, adorable one I developed a silly school girl crush on; the one with all the tattooes and piercings and luscious red lips. SLURP! Anyway, he and ihs girlfriend will have moved to Jamaica by then. Sad for us, good for him as it's something he says he's wanted to do for a while now. For reminder pics of Rocky, click here. Then scroll down towards the very bottom.

So, I guess I'll stop rambling now. Until the next entry, at which time we hope to have the trailer ready for "Dawg Eat Dawg!" Thanks for reading!

Empowering Videos

It was bound to happen sooner or later. Getting political. I try to keep my mouth shut, but, sometimes I just can't.

I found the videos below to be very empowering. The first, simply because there are so many of us, from all walks of life. Imagine what we, as a cultural/ethnic group could accomplish if we could only join forces.

Now, this is my first time embedding video code so I hope it works.



This next video I found to be empowering because the gay youth of the world just don't seem to want to take the same bullshit we have put up with. I hope the next generation can move further along. I don't know who organized it but the video is fun and the song is catchy. It is Lily Allen, singing, "Fuck You." And if the video doesn not show, please click here to view the video.

Moving Right Along

It's nearly one in the morning and I can't sleep. Not sure why, really. I know I have a lot on my mind; but then I always do. No matter what I do I can't seem to quiet the brain. I've already jerked off once. Normally that does the trick. When I cum it makes me sleepy. Not so this time.

So rather than lay in bed tossing and turning, pretending to be asleep, I decided to get up and do some writing. I'm working on an erotic gay romance that I will get to shortly. First, though, I wanted to say how excited I am that we're now 2/3 through editing our next feature; the one with the bald, tattooed, Cuban daddy Jesus Gutierez and Rocky C., the tattoed, pierced, really cute and adorable guy I fawn over every time I see his picture.

We haven't come up with a title yet but we've definitely narrowed it down. Here's what we're thinking, in no particular order.

Dawg & Pony
Dawg Eat Dawg
Dawgz At Play

Over the next few days we'll start editing the scene we filmed of the two of them together. Once that's done, the paperwork begins: Index of Character, copies of Model Releases, the Master DVD, package to AMVC, etc.

Unfortunately, because I've been putting other things in the foreground, I've been treating Horndawgz as if it's still a hobby. As a result, it gets put off to do one project, then put off to do another, and so on and so on. So I made this promise to Niko and myself. I'm putting Horndawgz in the foreground; especially when it comes to editing and filming new projects. From this point forward it gets time scheduled just like all other projects.

Slow-going? You bet. But we're moving right along. We'll keep you posted as we progress.

Now if only I could light a fire under AEBN's asses. They've had the master DVD and paperwork for A Dawg & His Bone for nearly 8 weeks now. I've called and left messages with our rep as well as e-mailing him but have not heard back. It's really frustrating the piss out of me. I hope they get it up soon. In the meantime, here's the trailer for A Dawg & His Bone.

Now I Know I'm Over It

I'm back and it's done. One of the guys doing the informal interview, asked a key, and crucial, question.

"Is your heart still in it?"

And without even realizing it, I said no. It just . . . came out. But then, I think these past few days have shown me that. I don't know why I was so damned surprised. I mean, seriously, I should not have been loosing sleep if my heart truly wanted to go back to my previous employer.

And this morning, walking there, I should not have been experienced a tightening of the chest. I should not have been short of breath. I should not have felt as though I, personally, was turning into lead with each step that brought me closer to the building where I used to work. Granted, this may have had something to do with what feels like 90+ weather with something like a 1,000 percent humidity.

But I also should not have been sitting there, in the conference room, hearing Charlie Brown's teacher in my head as they talked about statements, responsibilities, expectations.

"WAH, WAH-WAH-WAH, WAH-WAH, WAH-WAH, WAH, WAHHHHHH?"

What Ma'am? Oh, no Ma'am! That wasn't me. That was my dog.

While talking, there was one point where a different voice in my head (Yeah. I know, I have a lot of voices in my head. Sometimes that's how it goes.) anyway, the voice said, "What the hell are you doing here? You don't care about this shit anymore."
And it's true. I don't care. The more they talked about settling shows at the end of the night, and other assorted, job-related issues, the more I realized it to be true. Strangely, I felt like a dinghy on a veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeery long rope floating out over the ocean as I grew further and further away from something that once upon a time used to be my dock; an anchor, if you will. I guess now I know for sure. I'm truly over the job. It's sad in a way, but I guess the universe, and I, needed to know before the next chapter of my life is revealed.

Perhaps the picture below should have been a sign from the start? It is a picture I took a few weeks before I left for my NYC trip. It made me laugh. I know certain things need to be managed, but seriously now.

Back On My Game - Sort Of

So here we are, June 1st. Nearly two weeks after coming back home from New York and I'm finally feeling like I'm back on my game. It only took getting out of my funk, retraining my brain to push away negative patterns I fell back into when I visited my family, and getting back to some structure and a schedule.

But now someone has throw sludge into my gas tank.

When I was laid off at the end of January, I was hurt. I'd been laid off once before but this second time really got to me. I had worked with the company for 8 years and had really established some deep connections with many of my fellow employees. Not to mention that they fed my desire to be close to, or in, the theatre. Sad thing is that the closest I ever got was being backstage. You see, I'm not the most focused in the world. When I've got one main thing going; especially one main thing that is time-consuming and an energy drainer, you come home and you truly don't have much time or motivation for anything else. I don't care what the motivational speakers say. You know the ones: if you really want it, you'll DO it! I buy the sentiment, but to a point. The fact of the matter is that even those people had someone backing them up, supporting them and allowing them to fall or fly.

I've enjoyed working from home these past few months. I have enjoyed the freedom and flexibility of working either round the clock, or not. I've also enjoyed mixing it up with my own things, Horndawgz, getting back to my writing, meeting new people like rawTop and learning a bit more about porn, filming, editing. I feel like I've finally found a calling. Though it's slow going and I'm pissed as hell at AEBN because they have not yet put "A Dawg & His Bone" up on our site for streaming, nor have they responded to my e-mails. However, all things considered, I'm a much happier man having moved on from the negative feelings of being laid off and calling my own shots. 

What I love the most is the freedom of working for myself. Though it's challenging because I can't bank on an exact dollar amount every week, it's been keeping me on my toes and allowing me to think of new and different ways of trying to turn a buck.

Then, this afternoon, I got another call from a fellow co-worker. He's been promoted and he's looking to fill his old position. They want to bring me in for an interview but the way they're talking, it sounds like they're ready to give me the job. I just have to say yes. But how can I say yes when deep in my heart I feel that they actually did me a favor by laying me off?

And yet, I miss that steady pay check. Unemployment will be running out soon and I'm beginning to wonder.

There's a part of me that wants to say yes simply because I know it will appease my partner and make him feel more comfortable and worry less. But there's an even larger part of me that just wants to say, "Thanks, but no thanks. I'm happy with what I'm doing even if I'm not making a lot of money and starting to struggle."

And then there's that little voice inside my head, teasing me, tempting me, taunting horribly, as if to say, "Are you SURE this is what you want? (wagging my dreams in front of me) What about this over here?" (wagging a different cut of beef at me)

What sign will I be sending the universe if I take this job? That I don't trust in the process? That I don't believe in my dreams? I don't want to be a 70-year-old man or worse, be at my deathbed, and wonder what would have happened if I had stuck it out?

Goddamnit. I really fucking hate roadblocks! They make me frustrated and confused. Just when my car was tuned-up, full of gas and raring to go . . .

Readjusting

It's 8:44 p.m., e.s.t. on Monday, Memorial Day.

Niko is upstairs getting ready for a shower. All the critters, minus Wild Thing, are down here with me, napping. You can read about Wild Thing's passing here.

I came back to Fort Lauderdale last Tuesday and have had a difficult time readjusting myself mentally, physically and spiritually. Still am, in fact. I wish it was as easy as simply readjusting my balls and cock like when I'm not wearing underwear; all the goodies just stick to my thigh and they have to be peeled apart before I sit down or when I stand up.

This last trip to NYC was very different. It was 2 weeks, as opposed to last year's necessary visit of 6. Although last year's visit was emotionally painful due to my mom's breast cancer diagnosis (click here for details on that visit), I at least had some focus with working on a daily basis, no family drama.

And even through the worst of it, mom and I had some really good bonding moments last year. She showed me that although she was my mom, she was a woman first; beautifully human and fantastically flawed, just as we all are.

I know this is not quite what you want to read about in a porn blog. However, for me, porn is very intricately involved in my daily life. It's very difficult to simply pull out this part of me and just write about porn.

The good thing about this most recent trip to NYC is that it's over. I'm back home with Niko, and, although I came down with a fever while I was up there, a day and a half before I was scheduled to return, I'm doing much better. Still not quite motivated to do work, but stumbling some and going through the motions.

The fever was so bad I actually had to wear a hat as well as sweats and a nice, thick comforter.


The other cool thing is that I got to work with rawTop, whom you can read about by clicking here. It was fun getting to know him, getting to work with him and getting to share a bottom with him! You can read about that, by clicking here. Both, rawTop and his partner are very nice and easy to be with. In fact one of the main reasons for extending my trip to NYC from one week to two, was because I wanted to meet rawTop and, hopefully, get to do some work for him from home as part of my continuing quest to remain self-employed. As opposed to working for someone else.

For now, I leave you with another picture of a sign I found to be comical. This is from last year, at Coney Island Hospital, when I went with my mom and literally spent the entire day waiting to be called. We both knew what the sign meant and what it was for. We also knew it was silly to laugh at it, but it was very Beavis and Butthead mixed in with some Peter Griffin. Besides, without humour, even sex is bull and doring. Yeah. it's like that. I was going to fix it but, what the fuck.

More to come.

The Morning After

It is Monday, May 4. I'm racing against time as I still have a review to edit and submit, a piece of furniture to put together for a neighbor (she usually gives me some pocket money in exchange), and I have to pack and get ready for my flight. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I have an Apple Training class later at 2:00 which means I have exactly one hour to do all of those things in!

But I had to stop and take a moment; especially after the time I spent worrying yesterday over whether or not the filming session would go well. It was our first filming session with two unknown guys where they did more than just jerk-off. I looked over some of the footage last night and again this morning. Hard to believe that we had these two hot guys in our room and on our chaise, let alone in our bed!

Needless to say, we . . . I mean I . . . worried for nothing. Though I'll continue to worry until it's all edited, hoping the lighting is good; which I already know in some parts it wasn't. I'll continue to worry as I don't want to edit out a single moment of intensity these two sexy fuckers got into.  And of course, I'll worry about any nuance, camera angle, drop of sweat, and spurt of cum. But what's done is done; it's all filmed, the boys are paid and they're gone. If anything is wrong we'll simply have to make the best of it and I'm just going to have to learn to get over it.

All I can say about the session yesterday is that Rocky C. and Jesus Gutierez went at each other like animals. I wanted so desperately to join in! And I know Niko did as well. He confessed afterwards, the moment the door was locked. So I tossed him the towels the boys used to clean up with and heard a deep inhale as I went about backing up the data from the chips to the laptop.

There were neighbors outside watching as Rocky and Jesus came in, just minutes from each other. God only knows what they thought. Although, frankly, who cares?

For now, I will include two stills we took before Rocky and Jesus got started.



I thought they looked real hot together; kinda like Daddy and Son. Or maybe older Bro and Baby Bro? Okay, so you have your fantasy, I have mine.



Okay, so the one below is not exactly of both Rocky and Jesus. But I have a thing for Rocky; other than my cock that is. Go ahead, just call me a little school girl. Yeah I have a crush on him. Yeah, I'm infatuated. But he's sooooooooooooo damned cute!



And now for something different.

The previous Saturday, Niko and I filmed our very first scene together; ever. One of the guys is a friend of ours, though the session was not altogether without personal issues. However, even this session turned out fine, though it is not edited yet.

In the meantime, just to tease those of you who may be into something raunchier, below are some stills from Piss Master and His Piss Boy. Very, very different from yesterday's session, but just as hot!



Piss Master's cock.



Piss Master beating piss boy's ass.



My only wish about all of this filming is that I had more time to edit. As it is, I will be in New York City and it will all have to wait until I get back. Be sure and check out our website for updates! Visit us at: www.horndawgz.com. Until then, as always, thanks for reading and feel free to post comments! Hope you enjoy the pictures.
