i was feeling kind guilty for having bought my XTi but leaving it on my shelf for a bit. so when an old friend came over from california, i demanded he show me what it's like to run a photoshoot the way he does out there.

and it was a looot of fun. so i'm currently working on expanding my portfolio of headshots/bodyshots to the point that i feel confident enough to make a profile on modelmayhem. from there, i can meet more people and get more experience (because one's friends aren't always as serious as it takes for modeling).

btw, just did a photoshoot tonight out in the blistering cold at a little shopping center area. didn't get too many good shots because i kept shaking so much and i was forced to use a low shutter speed due to the inadequate lighting. so i'll try to get one or two shots up, but there won't be more than that.


and on a personal note, i'm feeling less and less bad about what happened with me and this girl. it's just fading away. and i'm glad that it is because it wasn't good for me bein strung along. i needed a yes/no answer. so i got what i needed and walked away.

does it still hurt? am i still lonely? sure. but am i better off for it? absolutely. gotta stand up for myself and not tolerate certain things or i can just end up a doormat. i choose the former, please and thank you.

ugh, and school starts back up tomorrow. oh please can't it be sunday night forever?




ciao,
dan

yesterday, i was in a car accident. a honda came at me from the left side as i was coming out of a backroad making a left turn. he hit me dead between the front and back driver-side doors, right on the pillar. in my opinion, that's the most structurally sound spot in terms of resisting crushing the car inwards because the pillar provides a lot of support from the roof and floor. the outside took a rediculous amount of damage (despite the fact that ford tauruses are built tough, especially the older ones). and it's far too much to even bother with repairs. my insurance will just cut me a check so i can go car shopping.

...hooray, fun.

so back to the hit...

i looked left, didn't see anyone. looked right, waited for a car to pass by. pulled out, and then heard my brother saying something to the effect of "umm...hey...CARRRR!!" he came at me so quick. i don't even remember if i hit the brakes or hit the gas. i don't even remember having time to think "oh shit." nothing.

just...
blink...
bang...
spinning...
and then the rotating of a motor taking it's last breaths.

the hit turned me a full 90 degrees.

all in all, i'm lucky to be alive because i had my window down (but glass still came flying out and managed to get lodged in my temple), my hand wasn't hanging outside (which i do a lot when it's nice out and had been doing earlier that day because it WAS nice out), and i managed to scoot forward a few feet before he hit. otherwise, he would've hit me dead center on my door, and i would've ended up in the hospital.


it's been a very trying 12 hours. when things like this happen, it gets in your head and starts swimming laps. and with me being such a deep thinker...you know it can end up doing more harm than good.

i'm trying to keep things positive, but it just hasn't sunk in yet. obviously, the people on the outside looking in see it as "screw the car, i'm just glad you're ok" but for me...it's different.

the way i see things is starting to change. and i'm sure a week or two from now, i'll be absolutely sure that things are different. you can't get hugged by a honda at 40mph and not walk away changed. especially when it was literally INCHES from the tip of your nose and with soo many small reasons prodding the back of my mind saying that it could have been

so

much

worse.




i'll check messages from time to time...but i probably won't upload anything.

and i'd prefer if you just add me on facebook instead: Daniel Erny.

i'll frequent that site more than i will dA.

anyway, i'm fighting this urge to sleep because i get paid to not work on christmas, but if i call out the day before or after, i lose it.

considering i'm off tomorrow, i had to go in if i wanted today's hours and free hours later.

ugh, right?


so i'm at work, and it's not too bad. i had some vault, so it worked out.

but partway through my shift, it hits me.

there's a new poem i'm working on a little unlike what i've always written.

there's no rhyme.
there's no scheme.

and to be quite honest, it's a bit raw.
seductive even.

i hope that you'll all enjoy it when it's done...because i'm gonna work freaking hard to make it perfect.

i'm excited.

My confession :

I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish.
And it does
not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful
lit up,
bejeweled trees, Christmas trees. I don't feel threatened. I
don't feel
discriminated against. That's what they are: Christmas trees.

It doesn't bother me a bit when people say, 'Merry Christmas' to
me. I
don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a
ghetto. In
fact, I kind of like it. It shows that we are all brothers and
sisters
celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all
that there
is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach
house in Malibu If people want a crèche, it's just as fine with
me as is
the Menorah a few hundred yards away.

I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't
think
Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I
think people
who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around,
period. I
have no idea where the concept came from that America is an
explicitly
atheist country. I can't find it in the Constitution and I don't
like it
being shoved down my throat.

Or maybe I can put it another way: where did the idea come from
that we
should worship celebrities and we aren't allowed to worship God
as we
understand Him? I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too.
But
there are a lot of us who are wondering where these celebrities
came from
and where the America we knew went to.

In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh,
this is a
little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not
funny, it's
intended to get you thinking.

Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and
Jane Clayson
asked her 'How could God let something like this happen?'
(regarding
Katrina) Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful
response.
She said, 'I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we
are, but for
years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get
out of our
government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman
He is, I
believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give
us His
blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?'

In light of recent events... terrorists attack, school shootings,
etc. I
think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered,
her body
found a few years ago) complained she didn't want prayer in our
schools, and
we said OK. Then someone said you better not read the Bible in
school. The
Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love
your neighbor
as yourself. And we said OK.

Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when
they
misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and
we might
damage their self-esteem (Dr Spock's son committed suicide). We
said an
expert should know what he's talking about. And we said OK.

Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience,
why they
don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to
kill
strangers, their classmates, and themselves.

Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can
figure it out. I
think it has a great deal to do with 'WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.'

Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder
why the
world's going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers
say, but
question what the Bible says. Funny how you can send 'jokes'
through e-mail
and they spread like wildfire but when you start sending messages
regarding
the Lord, people think twice about sharing. Funny how lewd,
crude, vulgar
and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion
of God is suppressed in the school and workplace.

Are you laughing yet?

Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to
many on
your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or
what they
will think of you for sending it.

Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think
of us than
what God thinks of us.

Pass it on if you think it has merit. If not then just discard
it... no
one will know you did. But, if you discard this thought process,
don't
sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in. ~domine-iesu http://domine-iesu.deviantart.com/journal/21514013/ http://domine-iesu.deviantart.com/journal/21514013/ Sun, 16 Nov 2008 08:01:07 PST :has been around for almost a year and no one seems to notice his fabulous celebrity portraits.

so when i came across this poll, i was reading the comments and found sirianna89's journal that said she would draw a picture for free to the first 10 people who commented (they needed a reference too). to take her up on that offer, i needed to do the same in my journal.

so here it is, sirianna! the proof you requested! lol

ok, so...if you're reading this and you would like ME to draw YOU a picture for FREE...just comment and let me know what you want. i don't require you to do the same though. i'm just looking for a push.

But I'm happy with it. Thank you, HuangZhong for givin me a reason to draw something!!

If anyone else out there wants to trade art and has a specific manga character they'd like to see me draw, just hit me up!! I'll gladly do it!

I googled some basic description of the podcast that wouldn't download and found the website where they have all the videos posted.

Now because the issue of dating is such a confusing topic for Christians (and non-Christians)...I figured that was probably the first video I should watch.

Also, it should be known, that I have to go to work tomorrow morning. So the fact that I'm up this late, procrastinating my bedtime so I can watch this...that should be a sure sign that it was good. And it was...it was very very good.

So I'm gonna go ahead and share this with all of you who are confused and unsure of this big messy thing called "dating."

I assure you though, that even though he comes at this from a very Biblical perspective...you can most assuredly pull out the religious elements and still walk away with some very practical advice and insight into the minds of men (or women, for the men out there). Not to mention, I was laughing a lot. Mark Driscoll is not this boring, suit-wearing, old-fashioned reverend. He's in the middle of Seattle for pete's sake.

So go watch; it'll be an hour of your time. Not that much to sacrifice for some peace of mind. At least, not in my honest opinion. I know I'll be sleeping soundly for the next 5 hours til work. lol sigh...

The Hush Sound ftw. forever. period.

i just downloaded three albums (the bands i have listed in my profile)...
and 5 songs across the three of em didn't download. it just says "stopped."

there's no customer service number for itunes either. it's all done by email.
