And just when ya think things can't get any worse. Found out a couple days ago that my local Denny's, which has been my hang since I was 14, will be closing down on Sunday. This put me into a bit of a foul mood to begin the week. Then the 10 rejection letters I've received from various jobs I applied for didn't do much better. Then today I found out that my buddy Jimmy was killed over in Afghanistan. To say this has put me over the edge is an understatement. I've already had a lot of vodka & whiskey tonight and I feel like going out and getting into a fight. Unfortunately I have a movie roll to film tomorrow so I guess I'll call it a night.

As ever it seems that my vision is exceeded by my real life. I've lately found myself jobless yet again and with no outlet for my frustration. I've gotten to do a few really decent shoots since getting my new camera, but have not been able to get anything going for the last month or so. Sometimes I think it's time to just forget everything creative and turn myself over to the humdrum life that everyone else leads. Unfortunately it seems that even this won't be able to help as the job market here sucks. I've come to the crossroads and have found myself without a map or even a compass. Hopefully something will show itself to be where I should go, but fear it will not. Until such time though I will have to find a way to deal with the enormous amount of stress I've had to contend with.

well I have really gotten back into the groove of my photography. I've been doing more & more shoots as the months have gone on. I even got back into doing my wrestling photography which has really sped up my reaction time. Hope all are doing well & I'll have more stuff coming soon.

Well I started getting back into my photography as I said before. To be honest it's been making me feel a lot better. I hooked up with some friends who have a studio a few miles down the road and they've been nice enough to let me use it. I have to say I quite enjoy doing my photography now even though quite a few of my "models" have been extremely flaky as of late. Hope everyone is doing well.

Hello again all. To be honest I've been unable to draw anything I like as of late and in so I think it's time for me to switch my focus from doing drawings to bettering my photography. I'm not sure why I've been so unsatisfied with my artwork as of late, but it seems to have left me by the wayside. I'll be posting mainly my photography work from here on out until such time as I feel right drawing again. I wish all my artists friends well in their fields and hope they make a success out of it.
