Day 23. Future tattoos
I’m still trying to figure out what and where to put my first tattoo. I’m thinking something photographic- the aperture symbol, a camera, something that reminds me everyday, even the days when shit gets challenging, that photography is my LOVE and always will be.
Another thought is probably something nautical- I love the water: ocean, lakes, pools, etc and would show it off proudly...

Day 22- A secret ambition
I’ve got a secret ambition- to become a gearhead.
One day when I’ve got the time, cash, and resources, I want to buy a classic car that needs work or a mid 30’s body that’s in decent shape and rework it to a rat rod (see my last posting of a car for what a rat rod is)
I’ve always wanted to learn to become more automotive savvy… but for now, that’s only...

Impacts
Its absolutely mind boggling the way one person can have such an impact on your life.
I’ll elaborate tonight, but before I forgot, I figured I’d write this down anyway…
Oasis- Wonderwall
Day 21- The one person that hurt you the most
No idea. Don’t really care to think back to those days to figure out who that might have been. If I don’t remember, it was either really bad, or no one’s hurt me enough to qualify for that position.
Things I Hate: Talking on the Phone →
zoee:
Truth:
“In the good old days, you could masturbate in your car without being interrupted. But since the advent of cell phones you can never really be “not here right now.” You are always here. So this has, in effect, turned the phone from a convenience to a giant homing device. We’re left to grope for excuses (“no reception,” “it was on silent,” “forgot the phone in my car”). Lies!*...

Day 20- How do others label you and how do you...
How I label myself is easy. I’m me. I’m an artist, a dork, a lover, a boyfriend, a friend, a joker,smoker, and midnight toker (haha) and that’s about it….
Labeling was for High School. I was the “art kid” and the “chorus kid” and the “theater kid” and here, all I am “labeled” as is a Photo Major.
Save labels for food and...

19. One family member you can not stand
My Uncle Bobby. He’s my grandfather’s sister’s husband, and he’s just an ass. Everything he tells you you’ve got to take with a grain of salt, and he’s just a DICK. I don’t want to explain much more b/c he’s not really someone I want to talk about. It just sucks that my Auntie Rosemary is with him…

A Short Story Without an Ending
There once was a boy who missed a girl whom he loved dearly….
18. The most disappointing night of your life
I’ve always said that nothing is ever a regret or a disappointment, but more of a learning experience. I say that because nothing was ever more disappointing than the day I learned my parents were splitting up.
They sat me on the porch between them, Dad on the left, Mom on the right. It was partly sunny and I remember a cool breeze blowing hyacinth my way (I really can’t smell them...
17. Your worst nightmare
I have lots of nightmares, usually involving me dying by the hands of someone I love or someone associated to me/them. Its crappy. I’m tired of sleepless nights and long mornings staring at the ceiling waiting for daylight to take away the cold sweats and shortness of breath.
I’m sick of not being able to sleep well. I’m sick of terrible dreams. I’m sick of it all. This...
16. Your dream wedding in detail
In the end, its truly not up to me. I’ll just be happy marrying who I’m going to marry.
I’d like to get married with a few friends and family, possibly on the beach, but other than that, I’m not picky….

Day 15- A letter to someone you miss
Dear You-Know-Who,
Every night when I go to bed, I wish for the day to go by faster so I’m another 24hrs closer to you. It’s been too long, and we’ve still got days to go. I miss you
Even though things have been rough, we’ve made it together, and I couldn’t have asked for anything more. You’re a friend, a love, an ear, and a kind word. You’re a hell of a...

Hiatus
Good evening, Tumblr world. Tonight, I am postponing the 50 likes and dislikes I have for today’s challenge.
1. I’m tired
2. I’m lazy
3. I’m too beat to type that much
Hopefully tomorrow things will be different. Maybe.
The sun rises. The birds chirp. And I want to go back to bed.
I like my job, but these first few days are absolutely killing me. I’ve never been this exhausted in a long while. 8hrs on my feet lugging people’s bags to their rooms or to their cars gets tough after about 6hrs. Its those last 2 that do me in. And i’ve still got 2 more days of it to go, not counting today. Luckily...
11. Something you strongly believe in
I believe people are in charge of the decisions they make, and that they need to stand by those decisions. Growing up, my parents always had the saying “No never changes” and that’s come to be the way it is with me. Sure not EVERY decision has to hold that way, but major ones such as personal behavior and the way you treat people, should.
If you choose to be a complete waste of...
Listen
I wouldn’t fight so hard for what I love, if I didn’t care.
I don't really know....
I don’t really know how I’m feeling tonight. Its been a weird day in terms of what it has been, on all aspects. I just know that things needed to change, but I don’t really know if this is the way I was hoping. Some of it is, some of it isn’t. But that’s change I guess. C’est la vie.
Day 10- Favorite Beverage
I can’t choose a SINGLE beverage. That’s like telling the Queen to pick her favorite hat. Damn near impossible. So Top 3 it is then, in no order. 1. Cold Dr. Pepper- nothing makes me feel better about life then taking the first sip of a fresh, ice cold Dr. Pepper. Pibb is good, but Pepper is better. Something about it takes me back home, and to simpler days of driving with my Dad to...
