It has some other stuff that my deviantART does not have, so yeah go for it!



So Spring is here. Woo!

Though.. it is still quite chilly outside, and not green at all. I haven't even seen any flowers starting to come up or anything.. it's very lame.

On April 10th I'm starting an advanced photography class at a school near here... it's once a week for 3 hours I'm pretty sure. I hope it gives me some inspiriation.. motivation.. anything.

Hope you are all doing well.

I promise you guys, I will start taking some photos soon!

I need some inspiration, and to get that, I need energy! I will have both soon.

I promise!

So, it's Valentines Day.

...yep.


Lawl.

What a pointless holiday,

Is it just me or is dA freaking out today? Well it was doing it yesterday, too!

I go to my messages and it asks me to login? I type in the corrent info and it doesn't work? I try again and it works! Then I click on messages and it logs me out! WTF! And there have been a lot of error pages.

Is this just me?

Cloverfield = awesome. Great movie. It's pretty badass. Though I feel absolutely horrible after watching it.

Don't see it if you don't have much energy or you don't do well with adrenaline. (well that's me with any thriller movie, really)

Don't see it if you get motion sickness. The whole movie is shot with a hand held camera.

Thankfully I don't have get motion sick or anything.. woo.

But yeah otherwise GO SEE IT!

I've been tagged!

So I guess I'm suppose to tell you 8 things about me you might not know... and tag 8 other people. I'll leave out the tagging part because if I don't do chains on myspace then no, I won't do them here. -.-

1. I am colorblind.
2. I'm a drummer.
3. I am much much more than in love.
4. I hate where I live.
5. I have CFS.
6. I used to be a very high energy person (and will be again soon).
7. I'm a gamer.
8. I always break or hurt something when I go to someones house for the first time (never let me in your house alone). And I swear it isn't on purpose!

There you have it. 8 things about me. Woop.

Well, I thought I needed to have an update.

Not much has been going on... I'm still trying to get rid of this bacterial infection I got from my surgery. I started my 3rd antibiotic today, 4th round, since the other 2 didn't work. -.- I really hope this one works. I swear I've pooed like 4 elephants while having this thing. My god.

Also, Lacey is back in school so it's back to only seeing her once a weekend. =\ It was nice while it lasted!

I plan on starting to feel better soon.. really hope that's what happens. I have so much I'd like to do when I get better.

I really miss taking photographs, once I'm able to get out more again you'll all see more from me, I promise.

That is all for now.....

With the new year coming, I've come to realize...

I don't want it to be a new year yet. I'm not ready. I wasn't ready for 2007, or even 2006. And I'm not ready for 2008.

2007 wasn't my worst year. Actually, I don't know what year has been my worst. But it's definitely been my worst health year. My weakness at it's worst, my brain even more fogged up then before. Haven't even been able to get out and take some nice photos. It's been so long since I've had that inspiration and energy for that. And ended up randomly having surgery, and acquired some bad bacteria that I've been trying to get rid of since September, I'm so sick and tired of antibiotics.

If it weren't for Lacey, the most amazing person I've ever known, this would have probably been my worst year. It has been almost 7 months now, and I've realized how lucky I am, no matter how shitty I am health-wise or anything like that. I have Lacey, and she makes me happy. We get along so well, and it's so easy to hang out with her, and even with her friends. We're both really strange people. And.. I care about her so much. And she cares about me. I am the luckiest person alive. And even though I am, the only time I seem truly happy is when I am with her.

I'm sure that will change in 2008.

There will be a lot of changes.

Good ones!

After thinking it over, I'm ready for 2008. It's like.. I'm not ready but I am. Haha. I have so much that I want to do in 2008 and even after that.

Basically the only thing holding me back is my health. But that won't hold be back much longer!

Thanks to every one of my friends on here, you mean a lot more to me than you think.

And thanks to everyone that has watched/faved/viewed my work, I really appreciate it.

Have a great new year everyone.

Well I'm on my mom's laptop for a few minutes.. so I thought I'd tell you why I haven't been around!

My computer died. It won't start, won't even attempt to start. SO...it is at the Computer Geek currently. I REALLY hope I won't lose all my stuff... it's something major that is wrong with it but I just hope I don't have to wipe the hard drive... knowing that I've been needing to get my external harddrive fixed because it BROKE so then if I lose everything...I definately do lose everything. My life is on that computer basically! GAH!

I will be back.. don't know when. Depends on what the hell exactly is wrong with my computer. So hope to be back soon all!


EDIT: I'm back! WOO!

I don't know about you, but I'm getting a crapload of note spam.

People saying OMGZ you're work is AWESOME now go check out [link]

My god. I'm tired of it. What, are people going to try to phish dA acconts now? LOL?

This been happening for anyone else?

Woo! My Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D and Vivitar 285HV just came in a little bit ago, so I've been messing around with those. That is all for now!



Yeah so my mom decided to give up on eBay and just buy a NEW lens instead of a used one for it's actual price, $109. The Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D that is

So now I'm actually pretty excited for that to come.. not sure I'll be able to use it until my birthday though. Only like..17 days or something I dont' feel like counting. I also treated myself to buying a Vivitar 285HV flash off amazon as well. A cheap but good flash, good to start with. 90 bucks, good price. So basically I'm broke now lol. Now I think I just need to go and buy a male pc to male pc extension cord so I can hold it off camera when I want to. I think I'd be using that a lot actually..

Going to the doctor today to check up on me I guess.. still having some problems. LOL but this time I won't end up at the hospital! Well I dont' think so! XD



Hey guys!

Are you looking for critique on your artwork for improvement? Noticed the lack of on deviantART lately? Well I know I have, and =StuMac1985 has created #CritiqueMe and *CritiqueMeClub to help promote criticism.

Join #CritiqueMe and that means you are looking for critique. You can post a thumb every five minutes looking for critique, and we will all try our best to give you some critique. Idling in this room is great, people will browse through your galleries looking for things to critique because they know you want some!

Right now the chat and club are small, but we are growing and will eventually be a great community of criticism! So help us all out!



Well, after an extremely painful and boring day at the hospital yesterday, the cat scans and blood work tested positive for appendicitis, and I ended up having surgery last night to get my appendix taken out. It went well, being my first surgery.


Now today I've just been sitting here bored haha. Finally got a hold of my mom's laptop...

my awful pains in my lower back and legs are gone now, woo! But now I am hurting from the surgery and for some reason my back lower neck is killing me!

But hey, now that we found and took care of appendicitis, maybe this means I'll see a turning point in my CFS! who knows. that would be great



HAPPY BIRTHDAY JERAD!

I'm going to try to make it to Major Taylor today if I'm feeling alright and have a cupcake for you I really hope I can make it, I've missed over a week of school, but I'm still going to try to make it.

I miss you, I hope everything is going well for you, and I want you to know I'm still thinking about you all the time.
