Pretty much the usual.
I'm officially stucked into the whole tweeting thing. Twitter. I've had an account for a while, jumped on it to see what the hype was about, and then forgot about it. I told myself that I probably wouldn't use it because I don't update my status on my cellphone (I'm totally against texting). But then Facebook decided to copy Twitter, another change to the interface that seems to turn me off with every revision they do. So I decided that instead of using the imitator, I might as well use the real thing. And with a desktop app like TweetDeck, things just started to click for me. Now, most of the people I follow aren't friends, because frankly, most of you are boring. Most of the people I follow are podcasters and sports reporters. Oh, and the Governator (I'm pretty sure it's some intern, but I read the tweets with his voice in my head). So that's Twitter, and how I use it.
I got the contract job that my friend Albert referred me to. I'll be shooting a wedding on November 21st. I'm undercharging for sure... Deeply troubling. But then again, they pretty much hired me without seeing many of my wedding shots. So it was mainly from my portfolio works, creative vision, and word of mouth. The pressure's on now! Still think I'm undercharging though...
It's time I sent in one of my lenses in for cleaning and repair. I feel a massive charge on my credit card... The graduation gig that I have right now isn't paying much. Deeply troubling. I'm going to need to get some part time work to hold me over. I'm pretty much living off the tax refund right now, and that's not going to last.
Onto some more upbeat news... umm...
Oh, my cousin Justin and his wife Carol just had their second baby girl named Poem. They come up with the most unique names. Do girls get picked on at school, or is that mainly a guy thing? No, I'm asking seriously. I got picked on to no end because of this last name of mine. It's a miracle that I've grown up relatively sane.
Trying to get money any way I can. I think it's time I sell some books off eBay. I've tried that before, but I find that I don't make any profit at all. Shipping itself is a killer. I guess I could sell off some old DVDs and CDs, but FYE doesn't really give much for them. Then again, I'm looking at this credit card bill...
Internet itself costs about $35. Alas, the cost of high speed connectivity with the world.
If I'm seriously going to go into business as an independent photographer, I'm going to have to get insurance... which I can't afford right now. *sigh* I really don't see making any profit this year. Everything's going to go to expenses or to the business itself.
Memorial Day weekend was rather... blah. I'm not saying that as an insult for our veterans or fallen soldiers. I just didn't know what to do. Did some errands. Went to church. Attempted to have an online moment of silence for the fallen troops... somewhat successful. Mainly stayed at home.
I want a new cellphone. I dream of the Palm Pre, but then the price of the phone shakes me back into reality. I just want a phone that I can receive in and call out. THAT'S IT! Perhaps one of those pay-as-you-go phones? Oh, and a phone that won't interfere with my iPod. Hate it when the volume just goes nuts and when the speakers makes those interference sounds. Oh, how I long for my old Verizon phone. No problems at all. I loved that phone. Wish I remembered the model...
I don't mean to sound pessimistic, but as you already realize, blogging is my therapy. I find that I'm not looking for an answer necessarily as much as a place to organize my thoughts. I space out a lot. A LOT. You have NO idea. Sometimes I look like I'm deep in thought. Nope. I used to carry notepads around because I had to write down stuff for that very reason. I wonder if that's why I tend to back away from friendships and relationships, for fear of being judged for being too pessimistic. Hmm...
I've thought about writing more theological thoughts in my blog. It's been a while since I've last done that. Create a third blog purely for that purpose. [the second being my professional blog on my website.] But I feel that the more blogs I have, the more scattered my thoughts, and I'll naturally abandon one for the other. So for the time being, they remain in my head, drifting in and out of consciousness.
Jane Zhang was on Oprah earlier this month. WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME?!? Yet another event I missed out on. Today is the Relient K concert, but tickets are sold out. Soooo bummed. I keep wanting to see them live, but keep missing the opportunity. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to treasure my concert of the Wonder Girls even more, at least until the next concert date.
Speaking of date, nothing new to report. Dateless. I'm not going to say any more, otherwise I'll get a lecture from Teacher Kingsley, who'll say to, "Get over it."
A thought did occur to me though... If I WERE in a relationship, would I reveal it or hide it? I think one thing that the past year has taught me is that being overexcited about relationships IS a bad thing. You jump to conclusions and get very clingy. But then again, I'd like accountability for that very same reason. In the end, I'll probably talk to the same people I always talk to when it comes to relationships. You know who you are, and you'll be contacted at the given time. It gets weird when adults start asking you about your relationships. Parents and uncles in particular. Oddly, grandparents less so... Perhaps it skips a generation.
Well, that killed about an hour. Oh, random tangent. You may think that with all the blogging and social status updates that I do, that my WPM must be high. Nope. I stink. I think I'm about 50-60 words per minute on average. Go play typeracer to find out yours.
