In this blog I jump from one tangent to another. The ending is what's important. You decide if you want to read about how I get there.
Spending today editing wedding pictures and throwing some pictures of the ladies here into my favorites list. It's hard to decide on a top 5 favorite girls when I haven't even seen half of them yet. I don't know who could keep track of such a thing.
Buying some costumes today and getting a pretty good deal. $130 for a very nice black dress and a belly dancer costume. I should really get to the Texas Rennaisance Faire this year and blow about a grand on costumes. I've got a few ideas for shoots that require some of the wares I've seen for sale down there.
I really enjoy Renn Faires. Not so much for being in character, though if I ever did I think that'd be fun. I like the mixture of people, the performances, the food, the random events that happen unscheduled about the "town". It's like being an extra in a dozen movies, walking around watching them all happen around you.
I haven't blogged in a long time. Used to do it a lot in high school but got bored with it. I was tired of not being myself or being too much of myself. I've got a MySpace, more of a glorified e-mail account than anything else. I also have a Xanga, but that's mainly for reading my friend's Xangas. I've been thinking that maybe paying for this little bit of bandwidth SG is giving me here and using the community and resources they supply would help me better focus on things, and maybe a blog is called for.
Speaking of focus, I'm really thinking about focusing on photography as a way of making a living. Weddings, band photography, personal projects and whatnot. I might be able to make better money than I do with a full-time job now. And that job is killing me without letting me focus on this creative itch I've got. When I can't get ideas out of my head they start to mess with the rest of my system, frustaring me and stressing me out. Naturally, getting them out and into the world and into other people's heads is much the opposite. It's not like drugs, or a rush. It's like a moment of satisfaction that's complete. The absence of desire and want in my brain for a while. For a little while, after it's all out there, I stop needing anything else. Buddhists shoot for this sort of thing all the time.
I don't get that feeling near often enough.
That reminds me, pick up the latest issue of GQ. The one with Christina Aguilera on the cover. Yeah I know I know but listen. In there there is an article about a boy in... Nepal I think, who's supposedly been meditating for 7 months without food or water. Don't try to wrap you thoughts around that though it's the article and the implications in it that are really good. You should check it out.
