Man oh man has so much happened & it's been so long since i posted anything. I've just been busier & busier it seems, along with just not having the energy to put up blogs regularly. Doesn't mean it won't happen just might not be as often. It honestly depends on how I am feeling in the moment & every time I want to blog I'm in the middle of work. That's rather annoying for sure, but I will try & cover as much as I can before I get distracted by something more shinny.
Hum, where to begin...I AM 21 FINALLY & I AM ENJOYING EVER MOMENT OF IT! 8D It's so nice not to be restricted & limited because of a fucking number any more.I can do (mostly) what I want when I want. :) For my 21st birthday I went out with three of the best people evea to have my drink at midnight. I WILL NEVER GET TO SO THAT AGAIN! 8D Yay for me! That evening Girlfriend took me out to a NAtional Geographic live Event & then we went bar hopping in Deep Eulm. (Did I mention my birthday landed on Fat Tuesday this year? CAUSE IT TOTALLY DID) Needless to say I was NOT okay in the morning. Haha! But that was because I didn't have enough water before hand. There was also a Dubstep concert going on at the Tree's venue. I understand that genre of music so much more now. I met some pretty epic people there too. :)
Around my b-day I went to my first Drag Queen show at S4 in the Rose Room & I will most defiantly be going back! Totally worth it! For my party the Girlfriend gave me a surprise of a LIMO! We went to my fave Kareokie place then a Hookah lounge. then back home for some Jurassic Park watching. (Did I mention that it was Dinosaur themed? It's was totally Dinosaur themed. 8D) I had a friend from out of town TRICK ME. She texted me the morning of telling me her car broke down & that she wasn't going to be able to make it but she ended up being there anyhow because she is a POOPFACE & I FUCKING LOVE HER. It was so wonderfully exciting & eventful.
Since we are on my birthday just before I turned 21 I was really focused on getting my photography going. I have come up with a name for my business, Relic Photography. I have had some people ask me "why that name?" Because part of the reason we have so much knowledge about the past as we do today is because of the photographs we have found. As time goes by, your brain gets older, but a photograph is forever. I actually think I just found my tag line.
Relic Photography
"A Photograph is forever."
I. Love. It.
Besides that, I also have a 15 - 20 year project that I am getting started up. I have a bunch of notes toward it & more gets added as time goes along. Right now I am just getting my name out there & doing what I can. I have done alot of Bluebonnet Photos as of lately that I will post up with my next post once I get to editing them & what not. I am also starting to do Cosplay photography just to get me used to photographing people more. Getting used to directing them & what not. You would be surprised at how hard telling people what to do it if they have no idea. This weekend I have two more shoots tomorrow & then one Sunday. Only a few are paying but something is better then nothing!
The sad news about all this Photography business is that the camera I have just won't do any more. My D40 is just too out of date. The ISO ranges from 200 - 1600 & starts pixlating around 400. On top of that it is only a 6 Pixal camera. Do you realize that a point & shoot has more fucking pixals then that? I found that out & my heart sank. I just don't have the type of money for what I need for this industry. But I'm going to do what I can with what I have. I knew it was going to be expensive when I decided it was my path to take. I just need to get the money together & look around on craigslist/ebay to find something in my price range.
That brings me to my next topic.
This has made me look forward to Mondays for a good month or so now. A couple months before I talked about a group called the Circus Freaks when I was telling about ArtLoveMagic's tag show. Well, this is the same group & they have something like that ever Monday night for only 10 dollars. It's worth the ten dollars too, TRUST ME. Every week I found something new there I didn't know about before. It has given me a whole new look on things in the world. It gives me a new friend set that I am oh so grateful for at this point. It has even gotten me in touch with an old friend that needs a photographer for her company! (One step & chugging on!) I will let you see what they have to offer on the site I linked. I do want to show you what I do there every Monday besides being around amazingly talented people.
I have found that my skills have gotten so much better since I started this & I am in love with doing it all again. I will continue posting up my work here as it comes along. If you want to see all of my works from the week then friend me on Facebook.
I suppose the next order of business is...BURLESQUE.
I love it.
I went to a show just around my birthday on a double date & IT WAS FANTASTIC. I am super upset that I haven't been more involved with these things after seeing one for the first time when I was 18 or so. (I never knew balloons could be so damn sexy.) I have been to 2 other one's (so 3 all together) & I must say the more I see of them the more I am fascinated by them. I know alot of people probable think "Why not just go to a strip club if you want to see women take off their cloths?" Because I have class & something called RESPECT for women. These girls don't just take off their cloths for money, they do it in a way that makes it an art form. If strip clubs is your thing, then go for it. I prefer art work. I have gotten in touch with a girl or two I have seen at these shows & I'm hoping to get in close enough that I can start doing privet shoots, or even shoot the shows they all put on. I'm so glad I have found this & is gives me something to go & socialize into without being around the same old crowd. It's refreshing.
Around May - June of this year I will have a friend moving to DFW area from Huntsville. I have known her for a good long time now & needless to say I'M SUPER EXCITED FOR THIS. We get along so well & it will be easier for Alara & Tim to see/talk to each other. She's been there for me through so much & over all is wonderful. I am looking forward to her being so close to me so we can hang out more & get to know each other a bit better.
That is all of the good things that have been going on since my last posting.
Now for the...not so pleasant stuff.
On my 21st birthday we came home from that all the nights events to find the door slightly cracked, & Zort missing. He never came home & all of my attempt's to try & get him back to us have been crushed some how. The pet stores around our area didn't seem to give a damn. The shelters never called, then living center never got wind of anything, & (this is what pisses me off the most) the apartment complex took down my fucking signs without contacting me about it.
You know, if someone has gone through all the trouble to print them out & hang them the LEAST you could do would be call the number on the poster to let them know what's going on. Why they were taken down. But no. NOTHING. I found the pretty shitty. On top of that, someone in the complex got my number off of one of the posters & called to fucking hit on me. Get. A. Life. How fucking pathetic do you have to be that you have to call from a missing pet poster?! If I knew who it was I could have killed them.
Needless to say there has been no sign of him & it's been over a month now. I'm still hoping for him to come back but over all not expecting him too. :/
Girlfriend & I hit a pretty rough patch too. I think we are finally getting over it all. We just had lot of problems with communication & stuff of that sort. I think we both hit a real sensitive patch with emotions. I think they are starting to work themselves out now but we will see. Right now I am happy with it but that can change in moments depending on what happens from now til then. We have hit our nine month which is super exciting even though I just wasn't have a good day on the third. My emotions got to a bit of a high with everything that was happening though most of that has been fixed now.
My mom has an 80% clogged artery. For those of you who don't know, my mom has had a stroke before so if she doesn't get this fixed up then it...just isn't good news. I know I shouldn't but I prepare myself everyday for the phone call of her passing on. The cops questioning me, judging me like her friends do because I'm not willing to suspend my life for an unknown amount of time to make sure she has a roof over her had when all she could do when I needed her to do that was drink & smoke. She is my next forgiveness letter & this is actually going to be harder then I thought it would be. There's just so much...a lifetime worth...I just don't know where to even start. Was it when Rick came in? Was it when I got old enough to have a brain? Was it when Grandma moved in? Was it when Rick left? I just can't pin point it & all it makes me want to do it cry. I'm not even sure why any more other then because some part of me remembers. Remembers the person she used to be & can't help but wonder why the fuck her kid wasn't good enough to stay that way. In my world a kid trumps everything in life. You make sure you do what is best for that kid. Maybe that's just me.
There's some other stuff that happened too but I'm just not ready to talk about yet. I will see what I can do about posting up something else this weekend. Maybe I will have some time tomorrow morning. -crosses fingers-
AWAY WITH MY A.D.H.D.
