Who knows……….maybe Sandra and I aren’t meant to be. After all, I haven’t heard even one single word from her in person for over 6 months now. So who knows, I’m the happiest of all always, all alone, so it doesn’t necessarily matter. Plus, she still LIES on a regular basis about her fake Marriage and romance with the beautiful gay guy Jesse James. Gay is good always. But lying…..not good. Love always,

Bullok/Bulloku is an ancient Albanian last name dating back a few thousand years there are plenty of families with that name. However, I do not think she is Albanian, because she would’ve said so. There doesn’t seem to be Italian roots in her either, so that means that she couldn’t be of Arbreshe origin either. I think someone mistook Albama for Albania and it somehow started all of this. It’s just that she reminds me of some Albanian girls, which comes to no surprise both the Irish and Scotish are similiar to Albanians. But who cares anyway, best of luck Sandra!
