change is definitely in the air

so I'm thinking of switching up my blog a bit. I don't want to bore you guys with itty bitty boring bits of my life. So I was thinking of making this half personal blog half photography blog. Photography has been a passion of mine for a while, and this will help me improve my photo skills more. It's only too bad that I don't have an old camera and a photo studio to do actual developing. I miss develpoing photo's. there's something about being in a dark room that I just love. I personally find my blog boring, so if it's boring me it must be boring others as well.

So here are a few photos I've taken on my new phone. I'm actually quite satisfied with the quality. my last phone was quite crappy when it came to photo quality.

Feel free to comment on the pics.

RIP

ok so I wasn't planning on getting a new phone for a while, but sometimes unnexpected things happen. Like all of a sudden your screen stops working and goes all haywire and you can't get your messages or see whos calling or what not. I was on my lunch break yesterday and I was talking to charlie. After I hung up the phone with him, I went to go text someone and my screen started scrambling and it wouldn't go back at all. I dropped it 1 too many times, and the last time on friday when I dropped it was the last straw apparently. So I had Beth take me to the verizon store after work to get a new one. I LOVE my new phone. it's the Verizon Voyager and it's a touch screen. has a pretty great camera as well.

sickness

Ergh!!!!!

I've been pretty sick since mom and dad left. came down with a pretty bad cold Friday and it just keeps getting worse.

it's partly because of me staying out to the wee hours of the night and not getting much sleep so my immune system is down and it's also partly cause somehow my air conditioner was on 65 one night and I didn't realize it and slept with my door closed in a tiny room.

thinking about going to bed in a minute. Tay and I are off to the mall in the morning and then I have an appointment at Capri to fill out my financial aid so I can get enrolled very soon. I hope to be starting cosmetology school by october. November at the latest.

busy week

wow. I've had a busy week. I don't think I've really been home to relax. too much going to starbucks with Brian, Tay, Jon and Marissa late at night. HAHAHA we go their so much that some of them know our names. of and to the movies as well and then to starbucks again. lol. or maybe the diner.

I don't really have much to blog about right now. besides I have to go to work now.

Marissa, Tay and me before going out one night.

SYTYCD

Ok so I have to thank Leslie forgetting me hooked on this show last year. I've been hooked all season. I just wanted to post a few of my favorite routines.

My newest obsession is the song that was in last weeks Jazz routine with Courtney and Mark.



I also LOVE the bollywood routine that Katee and Joshua did a few weeks back.



and also this one by Joshua and Katee:


I have a ton more favorites. but I'm not going to post them. this season was AMAZING!!!!!!!!! I have to say I was sad to see Mark and Chelsea go home last week. I would rather see chelsea in tonights finale than Courtney. Although I love Marks quirkiness, I'm happy to see Twitch and Joshua in the finale. I loved all 3 guys and couldn't really choose who I wanted to see in the finale.

I might have something interesting to post at the end of the week ;) I didn't have my camera this past weekend, so I couldn't take any pics. Beth had it while she was in NYC.

I went and saw Dark Knight at the midnight showing on Thursday or should I saw early Friday morning with Jon. It was AMAZING!!!!! Heath Ledger did a great job. Friday night Jon and I took our guitars down to the pier and played around for a bit. I put some decoy money in the case. Jon ended up making $2 since he was the one playing at the time. After I had a freak out cause a spider crawled across my foot, we headed over to memorial park. after we played there for about an hour. we met Brian at Starbucks. Ended up hanging there for 2 hours. Brian is an amazing guitarist. I let him play my guitar. I wasn't in the mood to play anymore at that point. I hope we didn't annoy anyone. oh well. no one complained to management to tell us to stop. ran into a few old friends from High School. it was interesting talking to them.

so that's whats going on with me. I'll post more later. I have to get off to work.

New Addition

So I have a lovely new addition to my body. I LOVE it!!! It was done by Keavan Rivers at Zahra's Tattoo studio here in Beacon. The muscles in my neck are so sore right now. you don't realize how little fat you have on your back until you get a tattoo there. I found out after I had it done, that the area I got it is one of the more painful places to get done cause of the nerve concentration in that area. it didn't bother me too much. it was quite tolerable. I only visually expressed the pain on my face every once in a while when he hit a real tender spot. Every time he went over one area I could feel it by my elbow. and the fact that my lower back started tensing cause of the position I was in, that kept my focus from the pain somewhere else and not on my neck. The top pic is with out flash and the one below here is with. you can see the colors better with the flash. it's shiny cause I have A&D ointment on it. only a few more days before the dead layer of skin starts peeling off and scabbing. once that's finished I'll have a beautifully healed and lovely tattoo. Once it's healed I have to go back for them to take a pic. They couldn't get a good one yesterday since it was shiny.
