Well, it's the end of the world and I'm still here. Surprise, surprise...
I guess we'll just have to see what the Mayans have to say.
Looks like some atheists cashed in!

This is a shout-out to all the ugly people.
Yes, you heard me. I ain't going to beat around the bush with terms like "facially challenged", "physically unattractive", or "unappealing". No! I'm talking about the hideous, beastly, disfigured people out there who have it nearly twice as hard in life than the next person. So much is difficult for you while for others it's so simple. Some of you out there who break a sweat every time you walk out the front door.
For others to cover it up with sugarcoated statements like "it's what's on the inside that counts" and "beauty is only skin deep" as if you didn't know any better can be miserably condescending. I understand. It is regrettable when some criticize and scrutinize your self-esteem while these same people go to the gym in order to look good, wear makeup, and buy designer clothes. You're not stupid, and neither am I. It is evident that reality caters to those who are good-looking. And that many attractive people are as beautiful inside as they are on the outside. There is no direct correlation here.
You constantly fight self-doubt, raise your own self-esteem single handedly, and fight off the glares and stares of a mocking public. You strive and work hard. You are without the benefits of physical appeal so you focus on your personality, wit, and wisdom in order to live through life. You have done what you can with what you have and are grateful for it. The world could learn a thing or two from your inner strength.
Many of you have triumphed in fulfilling your dreams when before it seemed impossible. Many of you have shook the boundaries of public reasoning and have transformed your image so that when others see you they see only your spirit.
And to that I say, thank you. Thank you for carrying that unmeasurable burden on your own shoulders so that others may learn and understand. I know it's hard. For the overwhelming majority of you it was never your choice. But, know at least that I see your struggle and look up to you.
You are ugly. You are an inspiration. You are precious.
...You are beautiful.

Sometimes it fascinates me how some people seem to go about their daily lives with such confidence, as if to know everything there is to know about the day. Yet if you ask them they will tell you they do not know what will happen in the next 5 minutes. And they smile. A warm and delicate expression that says, "Hello. We're not that different. Sooner or later we will all dwell eternally in the earth. But, until that time I persevere. I struggle to live and keep on living. I hope that in time you will find your peace as I hope that I will find mine."
And when the pain and anguish from everyday suffering subsides and the day is done I can't help but to love people. Despite my estrangement from the world, I can't help but love all people. From the ones that have helped me to the ones that have hurt me, I thank you all. You've made me who I am today. I cherish myself so I must cherish you.
People are so delicate. I hope one day I can be strong enough to protect all of us... Perhaps in doing so I can learn how to protect myself.

Ah, nostalgia....

Um... well... just found out that my parents may lose tens of thousands of dollars on a home project by claiming bankruptcy, and all I can do is sit on the sidelines and pray.
Needless to say several ideas have been racing through my head in order to get some sort of extra income. What to do... What to do.
I figured I'd get into this facebook/iPhone/Droid application stuff. Maybe invent some kind of application that lets you connect with your friends while sharing information and collecting rewards. Yeah.... that sounds original....
...
And now for something completely different!
LLAMA WORM!!!!
Have a nice day!

Well, today was painful... got ripped off on Quibids (stay away from that website unless you have hours and hours to waste), work was excruciating (thank god my boss is super cool) and a girl who I adored is now showing me her wedding photos. She's in Vietnam and I'm here, and a relationship wouldn't have worked out. But, it hurts nonetheless. I am happy for the both of them. This is going to take some time to get over...
ugh... just feeling so gloomy right now. I should eat, but I don't really feel like it. Is it getting cold in here, or is it just me?
Yes, I know, it is taboo to complain unless you're a really hot chick with scores of steaming photos to show off to your readers. Fuck it! I'm breaking the rules.
...Well, here's at least something of a photo (BTW, if you see a JOIN NOW ad just enlarge the pic to see it. I don't know why it's doing that.)
I went to Meridian Park in DC with some other photographer wannabes. It was fun! We learned how to pose people for outdoor portraitures.
...
Here's a random question: is "shellacking" a new buzzword, or has it been around for a while? It rolls off the tongue pretty well. "Shellllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaacaching!!" So I think it's a keeper. What really made me depressed is when I commented on a website by saying "Doh". And the guy was like "doh?" He didn't know what it meant. Oh my god! Am I really that outdated? I remember when the Simpsons was the SHIT! Times have changed
