sunday morning

Today goes in the good day category.

I went to the gym. I smell. Horrible. Disgusting. But I went to the gym.

Hopefuly I will go tommorow.

I dont know what brought it about. I woke up with this feeling hat I needed to something and everything.

Rick Astley is my idol.

I have been listening to a lot of Rick Astley because he is the man.

He was on Ryan Seacrest this morning and he seems so happy.  What if You hear all these stories about these washed up, alcoholic 80′s superstars, so that is what expected to hear bitterness a Instead I heard this wonderfully content older man who has a 16 year old daughter.  He is admittadly not doing much and he doesnt care. Ryan Seacrest says that when he grows up he wants to be like Rick Astley and so do I.

90′s nostalgia

Today I had lunch with Katie and we talked about old 90′s game shows and a extensive project in which we will seek out all of the game show contestants that used to be on those shoes. What a icebreaker. “I was on Double Dare with my family when I was like 8.” It is really strange to think about the path people go. I found a video and AJ Mclean was a contestant on GUTS. While he was swinging from a wire connected to his crotch, did he ever think that he would be in the Backstreet Boys, sell a gazillion records and struggle with a drug addiction a couple of years later? There could be old contestants from the shows that are in jail or drug addicts.
I also always wondered about the kids who didn’t make it on legends of the hidden temple. What happens to them right after the show? How do they feel? If there was a way to find these people and interview them, I would be all for it. In fact, if you know someone who was on one of these shows, I want to talk to them.

found something fun:

ah

this week is both overwelming and underwealming.

today was a big day. I couldn’t do my photography stuff so I hit the ground running. I left my class and kicked it to the grocery store for the second time in two days. Then I proceeded to go shopping for a clothes rack, a pair of tennis shoes, a head scarf, a dollar tree umbrella, some soap and a lofa.

one of those days. I feel relaxed but on edge.

in other news: some really good picture taking today!

something that makes me happy:

sleep is good.

Today was not constructive. I slept for like 4 hours today because I was so tired from everything. I can’t believe I am back because it doesn’t feel like I ever left. I have been sitting here, drinking lots of water and falling in and out of sleep. I know that it is going to be a busy week and I have a lot to do but I can’t wrap my head around it right now. I bought a notebook over break and I hope that I will actually use it. I need to start writing things down or everything piles on top of itself and then there is nothing left. I am not sure what I am going to do because I have portraits to do but I have no prints to pick from. I have learned from experience that I need to have my prints done way ahead of time.

climbing a mountain

You know that point in life where all the sudden there is so much in front of you? It is like standing at the bottom of a mountain knowing that you have to climb it. You know that it is gonna be hard, cold, hot all of the emotions involved with climbing a mountain. I don’t know if I am the right person to use this analogy because if you know me you know that I don’t climb much of anything. Perhaps a better analogy would be walking across campus to class. You know it is going to be a long walk but you have to do it.

That is what I am feeling right now. I have that feeling that there is so much stuff in the next couple of weeks. I keep wanting to start but I just can’t. My second semester of my sophomore year is coming to a close and I find it so hard to grasp.

I am going to try to write in here. I have started so many blogs without finishing them and I really want to try to keep this one going, at least till the end of the semester. I don’t want this year to be over and forget everything.

Today was a good day. My first relaxing day of vacation brought a unexpected surprise! A internship! I thought I had one but now it is offical! I am really excited for it. It also means that my life isn’t going to stop. I have become a person of very little downtime and I find it very hard to go back once I have that life. I want to relax but the wheels in my head keep going because there is allways something to do.
