Three Strikes

And you’re out!

Three strikes and your out, I’m up to my second. Yes, I haven’t posted yesterday, I’ve skipped a day again but I really don’t care, because I’m probably the only person who writes a post a day…that makes me feel special, as well as an idiot since I don’t have a life. Of course we all know that’s not true because this blog is actually getting me somewhere. I’m meeting all sorts of new people who admire my work and it’s truly boosting when you get so much beautiful positive feedback from your peers.

I’m not really up to posting when I come home late at night, and since yesterday was Tuesday I had baseball, and when I have baseball I’m exhausted afterwards, and the day was very humid so it kept on adding up. But it was so much fun, Em came and she met my friends, finally, and I got to see one of my friends that I hadn’t talked to in a year. I was surprised how the group connected even though we had been apart for so long, and I’m happy we did since next week I’m leaving for 4 days to go camping with the same friends, and I’m sure we’re going to have a blast.

I spent all of my summer at home, doing some photography then and time again, even though I live a few minutes away from my friends. I don’t know, maybe it’s just because I love being home, in my environment doing what I want to do, which ends up being nothing. After the baseball game I came home and it kind of echoed in my head how seeing your friends once in a while really puts a smile on my face. I guess it’s never too late since summer has just begun, at least it feels as it’s never ending since time goes by so slowly it’s impossible.

So I went from social evening with friends to a day on my own, at home, getting up by myself…well I always do, I mean I was alone because my parents were gone to work, not knowing what to do of my day. I don’t know if you remember how I had two resumes to hand in for my next driver’s license class, and I had two weeks to finish it? Turns out my next classes are this weekend and I haven’t even started yet. This morning I sat down in bed with my depressive dog by my side (she’s been sleeping for days at a time, and she’s not even 2 years old) and I read, and read, and read, until I got sick and I decided to start the resume on chapter one. I’m finished with chapter one now, as well as chapter 2, and I already have a page and a half of text…which is way too much for the class. And did I forget to mention that I have 9 chapters to read? I’m screwed; I better stop procrastinating and get serious.

When I really got sick of doing the resume I decided to take my camera and head outside. It rained overnight so everything was soaked, and the sky was covered in clouds so there wasn’t much natural lighting. I had nothing else to do, and that’s why I took over 200 pictures of everything I could find. I think I did all of the plants in the gardens around the house, although the final products are quite few in number I can definitely call this my most successful landscape photoshoot up to date. I’m telling you, when I was editing the pictures I couldn’t believe how beautiful the pictures were turning out. And may I mention that my photography skills have improved on a large scale over the last few months. I got the basics and all, but at first my editing skills were pathetic. I mean you could clearly say that the picture was edited since I had this idea in my mind that more is better…while in reality now I know that less is more. I keep the simplicity to the picture while enhancing the colours to make it more appealing.

Lately I’ve been thinking about renovating my room. My mom has been talking to me about it and all and I think it’s actually a good idea. I’m seeing in my mind plain white walls accentuated by dark wood furniture, because I want large white walls to take pictures on. All I need now is a new camera, better editing software, a laptop, photography lighting, and a bigger entourage of people, but I’m building my way up!

Anyways, I better get back to my resume or else I’ll never get it done, and I certainly can’t give my blog as an excuse. Have a great one!
