The last two days have been like a summer teaser, and today it's back to snow. I just want it to be nice so I can shoot pictures without gloves on.

Today and Yesterday were really warm compared to the past few weeks. It feels like an early spring night, and there's supposed to be thunderstorms later on in the night. I love storms, probably because it's usually associated with summer. I can handle most things the weather throws at me, except for wind. It creeps me out.

I'm looking forward to getting my new car stereo installed next week. I need to start eBaying so I don't feel so bad about spending the money.

55.365

Sometimes I worry about my future. I know what I want to do, and I know who I want to spend it with, but my only concern is money, keeping a job, and having a place to live. I may have to cut back on my most expensive hobby: my car.

54.365

Exercising today wore me out. I need to do it more often.

53.365

I have a condition in my spine that resulted in my left foot being smaller and less responsive than my right foot. It's quite interesting.

52.365

I enjoy sleeping. I don't know why I can stay up late so easily, but it's torture getting up early.

When I was little I had an obsession with this book called Peef the Christmas Bear. For Christmas one year, my Mom made me a replica of the bear that was in the book. It was my favorite present for years, and I still keep it in my room.

More snow tonight, I'm not happy about it.

50 Pictures! I wasn't sure I'd still be committed to this project at this point, but it's past the point of no return. I really need to find a band to shoot some promos for, or a show to go to so I see how this new camera does compared to the old one.

I'm just glad that today is over. Not saying it was a bad day, it just ended on a bad note.

48.365

The best of things are seen while looking up.

47.365

I finally got a haircut. It has been way overdue.

I got a radio for my room yesterday, and I just love having it in the background. It's been years since I last had a radio playing in my room, and since the cd player in my car has been broken, I've gotten hooked on some of the stations I can actually pick up. So now I can pick up on everything I miss out on when I'm not in my car.

46.365

Such a great ending to a long, long week. My car is back together, I had a great Valentine's Day, and tomorrow is the beginning of a new week.

45.365

Happy Valentine's Day!

44.365

This Valentine's Day is going to be a good one...

43.365

I wear a lot of hats. It's always been that way, I probably get it from my Dad.

This has been a long week, and I'm glad tomorrow is Friday. I blew two tires when I hit a pothole on the highway the other day, and a windstorm last night made a mess of my house and the yard. But on a positive note, I found a drafter's table for sale at Goodwill, and this Valentine's Day is surely going to be amazing.

This week has lived up to it's expectations. R.I.P. Cocoa.

41.365

Today I got a pair of running shoes, and I can't wait to start using them. I've never successfully been able to keep up with exercise, but I have a good feeling this time. Alyssa will be doing it with me, and we'll keep each other motivated.

40.365

Tomorrow will be the first time I've seen Alyssa since Wednesday, and I'm really excited. We also get to babysit my cousins baby, Aidan, and then have pizza and chill when they come to pick him up.

Another plus about tomorrow, it's Tuesday. Tuesday is 35 cent wing night at Fricker's, which I try to never miss out on.

39.365

I'm super excited that Alyssa is coming home tomorrow night. Unfortunately some other things have come up today, and this is going to be an incredibly long week.

38.365

So the other day I got my first Urban Outfitters catalog. And as much as I wish I could afford their clothes, I found something more in their magazine. It gave me some what of a spark of inspiration towards portrait and modeling photography. I think one of my biggest downfalls is that I'm too critical of my own photos. Some of the shots inside the catalog got me thinking in a new direction.

I don't quite know how to explain my thoughts, but a photo by itself is not near as interesting as a group of photos telling a story, and a photograph without a purpose or a story behind it is almost meaningless.

37.365

This year, I am determined to lose weight. I don't really want to lose a lot, I just want to be in shape, and fit.

36.365

Today was just an incredibly lazy day. There's not really anything to speak of.

35.365

I'm really going to miss my girlfriend while she's on her cruise. I'll have a lot of free time.

Some Key Pictures

I thank God everyday that I was able to finally afford this camera. I have desired owning one ever since I knew such a machine existed.

There are many things that I thank God for. Alyssa, my family, my friends, my life, my vision, and the list goes on and on. Some days I may lose focus of what I have, and just how lucky that makes me. Each and every day I am alive is a reason to be thankful.

Some of the greatest feelings to me are also the simplest of luxuries. Holding a camera in my hand, hearing the shutter snap, grasping my girlfriends hand in mine, watching football with my Dad, and driving with no real end point. I could go on for days.

Riverside part...4?

So I'm sitting in a room at Riverside Hospital for the 4th time in the last 4 years. It almost feels like a second or third home at this point. This time around my Grandma June is just having some tests done on her heart, so it's nothing too serious. The entire time I've been here, all I can really think about is my love on ABC, Scrubs.

It snowed last night, and even though there wasn't any accumulation, it was just amazing at how hard it was snowing. I love the snow, but I've had my fair share of it this winter. At least there's only 6 more weeks until spring, or so the groundhog told us, and I'm really looking forward to washing my car and fixing up some nagging issues. I really want to go racing at the track again, I've only gotten to race once this winter, and for fun I tried to break the 100mph barrier.

Recently I have re-discovered one of my childhood obsessions. I stumbled across my stash of old Pokemon games for my gameboy, and I've been toying around with them for fun. I'm not as stuck on them as I am to my current gaming addiction, which is Left 4 Dead. It just doesn't seem to get old.

33.365

I just love coming home at night and sitting back and watching a movie, sitting on the computer, or playing xbox. Relaxing feels a lot better the more you do throughout the day.

32.365

My hands are a very important part of all my work, alongside my eyes. Without my hands I wouldn't be able to press the shutter release on my camera, adjust the focus, angle, or do hardly anything when it came to drawing.

My love for driving would be useless without my hands, and I just wouldn't feel the same about writing. Blogging would be a much more difficult task, texting on a cell phone, playing my xbox, all of the above. I rarely ever just stop and think on how much my life would be different with one little piece missing.
