If you feel like checking out the portfolio I put together (because it includes a few things I never put in here and is pretty super awesome) it is: [link]

I hope everything is going well with all of you as you gear up for the holidays.

Enjoy the season

Summer has been amazing so far and I'm really looking forward to the rest of it.

Yay camp + africa!

So pretty much, I have my last exam on tuesday and then Katie Beth gets here on wednesday. She'll stay until the 18th and life will be good. Then I'll stay over a bunch of places and buy the last few things I need for camp on the first.

Ooh...and somewhere in between I'll have my last day at work. God, I hate my manager.

Example 1:
Mike: Gen, why didn't you sell them a bigger memory card?
Me: Because they didn't want to spend that much money
Mike: So? Tell them that's what they need. Always sell more

Example 2:
Mike: Gen, why did you spend so much time with the customer?
Me: Well they get a one hour free lesson, but she didn't want it, so I just quickly showed her how to use her camera.
Mike: Don't do that. Tell her to go home, try things and then come back. You want to spend as little time as possible with each customer. In that amount of time, you could have sold two cameras. Next time, tell her to go away.

Example 3:
Mike: Gen, I'm not going to have enough hours for you after the summer
Me: Alright, well I thought I was going to come back here, but if not then the store at Hillcrest wants to hire me, so will you give me a reference?
Mike: Well I don't know if they will still want to hire you then, but if the manager there really wants you then I guess I can say something... but I don't think they will want to hire you.

AND ALL OF THIS HAPENNED TODAY!!!!
Grrrrrrr

*There are more examples, but I think you all get the point...

Anyways, enough about Mike. Since the year is pretty much over I decided to start submitting some of my favourite pictures that I took over the course of the year for the school paper and whatnot. Some of them are pretty nice so check those out. I'll be putting new ones up over the course of the week.

Yay, new pics!

Ok, so one last thing. If any of you want to check out my stuff on Helium that would be really great because I would love feedback on it (send it here because I check this more often). Chances are if you like the poetry garbage I write here, you will like the journalism garbage I write there.

In life I really want to be a journalist, and although the articles I've written for Helium haven't been of the same quality as one would publish elsewhere, I think they should still give you an idea of whether I could do it professionally or not, which is what I really want to know.

Thanks.

AND Nina is trying to convince her mom to let her and Ele come down to stay with me for a week which would pretty much make my life because I am seriously doubting my ability to survive an ENTIRE YEAR sans Nina. Honnetement, je serais tellement triste.

De toute facon, c'est pratiquement l'ete et j'ai tellement hate d'aller faire du camping et d'aller a Kenya. Le seule probleme maintenant c'est que j'ai perdu mon veste de sauvetage et j'en ai de besoin... c'a serais tellement triste si je l'avais perdu puiqu'y coutent comme cent dollars....merde....

Oh well...moving on, I just finished a heartbreaking work of staggering genius and it was brilliant, so READ IT.

PS: please comment on my new pictures...all the bw ones, they were tons of fun to take and a lot more spontaneous than most of the other stuff in this gallery so I'd really appreciate any feedback you could give me *look for new ones coming up later this week, I am waiting for my "real bw" prints to come back from black's

So... FUTURE PLANS:
Working with Tokyo Police Club in the fall.
Deterrence and The Love and Terror Cult this summer.
[link] ASAP. *lack of camera is slowing me down

I wish I knew what I wanted to do.
Journalism? Photography? Art? Medicine? (ok, so medicine is less likely, but i really have no idea)

I need to figure myself out.

Honestly, the main goal of this isn't to create something marketable. Or popular. The main goal of the project is just to remember and then to let it go.

I find it really helps me to share my memories and so ultimately this is what I'm doing to help myself.

On the other hand, though, I'm not just writing this for my own benefit.

I think lots of the experiences I've had are things that others could learn from and that I'd like to have the opportunity to further share.

I'd really appreciate it if you could all just take the time to read the chapters I have so far and continue to post comments and to give me criticism because I'm really looking to improve as a writer.

[plus I kind of need the criticism to be coming from people outside of my circle of friends and all that because the stories are all highly personal and are honest to the point that I don't feel comfortable sharing them with most people I know]

So...ummm...
THANKS.
