Pride Toronto 2010
I just spent three weeks working in Toronto. I was asking to come speak at IdeaCity10 which I posted about in an earlier post and that was so awesome.
After IdeaCity 10 I stayed for two more weeks to do shows at SWITCH, St, Marcs Spa and Pride Stage. All the shows Kicked ass. Then I was asked to be on the Aids Committee Toronto ACT float in the Pride parade. That was so much fun. The float won best community float! I have to say it was such an honor being asked to be apart of that. Any AIDS related service I can do i am always there. My kid Rebekka Armstrong ( shes not by birth, I adopted her!) is HIV positive and is an amazing educator. Check her site out at Rebekkaonline.net
I also did tons of interviews and did some TV. Toronto is always good about promoting me. My good friend Shaun Proulx had a private party for the screening of the interview he did with me for OUT TV
So now better then writing I am posting lots of pics for you to see. Some from the new release UFC2/Tattooed and Screwed. Some are not that great and kinda blurry so sorry about that, But I think they are still cool and you get to see me getting ready for my show at SWITCH, In a dirty backroom..
WOOF!!

IdeaCity10 Toronto
Ok yes I have been talking about this for a while because I have been so excited and nervous at the same time. This past week I had the huge honor of speaking at IdeaCity10 in Toronto. The reason I am so excited is because it shows an interest in what I have to say outside of my adult work. Don’t get me wrong I LOVE doing my adult work but it has been super limiting to me an my message of empowerment and not fitting into this box that everyone wants us to fit in.
Moses Znaimer gets that and had the balls to invite me to this event to present my idea of what makes us a man or a woman and about my ideas on sexuality. It was so incredable to see the response from the people there. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that these people would be so open to my message. It made me feel empowered beyond belief. It actually made me have renewed faith in humans!
These are just regular people who had never even heard of me before, Though they do come to this event with open minds I was not expecting what I got. Grown men coming up to me telling me they had tears in their eyes when I was speaking, That I need to take my message and run with it. How important it is! Woman telling me how brave I am how I should be teaching the world on how to be a man! hahaa! How cool is that.
So here are some photos from the IdeaCity photographer Gene Driskill
Thanks to all of you I am able to spread my message and change the world!
WOOF!!

Taschen,Out Tv, birthday, UFC 2
Damn sorry for such a long delay in posts. I am not making an excuse I have just been on the road non stop the last couple months. My trip to Helsinki as you can see from my last post kicked ass. Ashley and I blew them away. I met some super awesome new friends there too.
Ms. Diana Ball is so sexy and she spent time taking me all around Helsinki and even out to have a deer dinner. yep I said it I ate a deer. You know Santa Claus comes from Finland.I didn’t know that. This photo of us was taken in my dressing room.
Then the most awesome thing happened! The guys from the band ROCTUM showed up to my show waving a huge banner. It was so great! Then they left because they could not get backstage so I had the stage manager call them and they were at McDonald’s eating so they dropped their burgers and came back to see me backstage. They are the guys who made the “Buck Angel Song”
This last week OUT TV in Canada ran an exclusive one hour interview I did with one of my favorite guys and a true friend Shaun Proulx. It is pretty awesome and I am always scared how the outcome of these interviews will be. But I have to say I was pretty proud of this one. You can see a teaser here but try to catch the whole show if you can.
When I was in Los Angeles this last week I had the honor of shooting with Ed Fox for a new Taschen book that is coming out. I will not blow the surprise but it is gonna be so super I think it will shock you. Dian Hansen the editor is so cool. I have made a great new friend that’s for sure. She is so smart and really nice energy to be around. Ed is killer photographer as well. Things just keep getting better and better. I can’t believe how my life has changed sometimes.
I also finished shooting the final scenes for UFC2-tattooed and screwed. My next DVD. FUCK!! This is going to one of my best yet. The men are HOT and the scenes are so rocking. I got Greg York and Ian McQueen to fuck me at the Eagle in Los Angeles. The Eagle was so cool to let me shoot there. I think I am one of the few that has been allowed to do that. Sometimes I feel so special.
My birthday was this past weekend June 5th and I wanted to get home so I could be in my favorite place in the whole world! So I spent two days in my pool just relaxing and having sex! I smoked some great cigars too, The NUB is one of my new favorite smokes. Here I am with a couple of my kids
Well that’s it for now. I am off to Toronto next week to speak at IdeaCity10 then doing lots of stuff for gay pride. Check my calendar and facebook for all the info too.
WOOF!!
Just like a dog!
All I can say is it feel’s so good to be back in the hot Yucatan!! My trip to Toronto was partly great and partly a fucking disaster. I woke up on the morning I was to fly out feeling like crap. I had the chills but just thought I had a flu and I would ride it out for a couple days and get better since I am so healthy. So I arrive in Toronto and the first thing that happens of course is customs. For some reason they do not like me, I always get pulled over and interrogated. And thats just what happened! So after the bitch goes through all of my papers and calls Sergio my manager to see if I am really staying with him..He was so pissed too, She lets me go and then I have to pass another bitch who asked me all the same questions( mind you I feel like crap so I am really not in the mood) So she gets pissy with me and sends me to have my bags checked. Thank god it was a gay man!! He basically saw my big dildo and said “ok see you on church street this weekend!”
So my friend Todd picks me up at the airport( waiting one hour as I was in customs being fucked with) Buys me a coffee gives me some pill for my really bad headache and drives me back to his place. I get a shower eat something and need to sleep because I feel like crap and have to go do The Edge Radio show in the morning and the Proud FM in the afternoon.
Fab magazine did a funny little piece on me and Madonna. I also did a really cool interview for fab at the Bathhouse. The photos are going to be awesome.
I wake feeling like a truck hit me but I cannot cancel anything I am scheduled for. So I take some cold meds and off I go. The interview was a blast the guys at the station were awesome. I posted part of the interview on my youtube for you to see. The rest will be on my reality show on buckangel.com
This is a pic of me and the guys at the edge
After the show I went back to Sergios to rest a bit and then we were off to Proud FM and Shaun Proulx
That interview was great as always. Shaun is so good to me and one of the first guys that really took me serious. I will always love him for that!!
Then back home for the night to rest because the next day I have a photo shoot with Kenny Lee He was so on that day!! We had such a great shoot even though I showed up feeling like shit and really just wanting to be in bed. I am so happy I did it because the photos are amazing. I am putting the galleries on buckangel.com but here is a taste for you.
So after the shoot I went home and dropped again..oh yes I forgot to tell you. Everyday I am feeling worse,Every night I am sweating and going through my sheets and clothes 3 times. My head feels like it is going to explode. I wake up on sunday morning and I have to do the Come As You Are workshop. I just can’t believe I have to do this but I do. There is no way I can cancel.I showed up to a sold out workshop and felt very out of it but thanks to the cold meds I was able to perform. I told the crowd that I was feeling bad just so they knew if I was not doing a great job why that was. Anyway the workshop was great and everyone liked it so I am happy.
Monday came and I was suppose to shoot a scene but there was no way as I was really feeling bad. I had to go do an interview with Much Music which is the same thing as MTV but for Canada. That went well and back home I went to get into bed. The sweats and chills were really getting to me now.
I awoke tuesday at 4 am and could not sleep. I was sweating and started having problems breathing. Sergio decided to take me to the hospital. We went to the Woman Hospital Emergency and they asked why I did not come sooner. They proceeded to do some tests and asked me my background. I told them I was a transsexual man and also that I worked in the adult industry. Right then I could see it..They asked if I was HIV Positive. I said no I get tested often for work but I could see how they were already judging me. They took blood and x-rayed my chest and said I had a bad flu to go home and rest.
The next day I got a call from the hospital that I had something in my lungs and am I sure I am not HIV positive because they thought I had HIV related pneumonia. I kept telling them no but can’t they look at my HIV test that they took. So they said I should come back to the hospital for a CT of my chest. The next day wed. is when I was having the hardest time to breath so I went back and the doctor admitted me to the hospital. I could barely walk.
Sergio and Todd were by my side every second. They are such great guys and really took amazing care of me. I don’t know what I would have done if I was alone.
They did the CT and took about 60 bottles of blood. I was so over it. I kept sweating and my head felt like it was run over by a truck. So 3 days later they still had no idea what I had but since they were giving me antibiotics I was feeling much better. They said they thought I had pneumonia. So after 4 days in the hospital and my wife flying up to see me as she was so freaked out , They let me out.
I went back to Sergios and took a bath. While my wife was bathing me she found a tick embedded in my chest!!! It was alive. I could not even believe what I was seeing. That was the problem all along. I was sick from the tick! I must have gotten it from home in the Yucatan as we have tons of trees and lots of dogs!
Obviously I had to cancel my trip to Amsterdam and NYC. They were all very concerned and very cool about me canceling. I have never had to cancel shows before so I was not happy but everyone was so nice and more concerned about me getting better.
So I flew back wed and have been recovering since. Feeling a bit weak but way better. I am hungry all the time. I lost like 10 pounds..UGG!! that makes me mad. I am now seeing a doctor here in mexico to follow up so hopefully I am on my way to the gym soon.
Thanks so you all for sending me such nice emails and wishes. It made me feel so good!
WOOF!!
