White of Graduation

April 14, 2010 – 1:03 am

Oh my goodness. Its April and I graduate in June! Its so close. Did I just say close? All year I have been saying its so far away but if I think about it, it will be here sooner than I think. So, in my school the girls wear white dresses and the men wear suits for graduation. My white dress that my mom ordered came in the mail the other day. I tried it on and my mom said I looked beautiful. That really opened up my eyes about that I will be done with school in a few months.  I am excited and scared. Happy and sad. Ready and not ready. I am filled with mixed emotions about graduating.

Dont get me wrong. I want out but its gonna be a big change. Change has always scared me. Its interesting to watch my friends talk about how excited they are to graduate but then see the fear in them that they try to hide. You know. Since, its high school and you need to act cool and hide the emotions that seems like weakness. In my opinion, admitting that you are scared and unsure is healthier and will make the process easier.

My big concern is what the hell am I going to do after? Who will I be? Where do I go? I have already been searching for my life and purpose for years now. Maybe having no school will help me create the life I want or maybe I will feel like I really have no life. I do not know but I do know I have my mom and dogs to help guide me. I am so thankful for that.

So, I am going to get some sleep because I still have to attend school until I graduate. Hehe. Maybe, I will have a dream of walking in my white dress and seeing my mom in tears. Dont worry, I will make sure to get pictures of me on graduation. Me? In a dress?! Its a rare site. Something that happens only once every few years. Until then you can all wonder what I look like in a dress. Its a mystery. Hehe. Night night.

Spring Break

April 1, 2010 – 11:41 pm

Today was the first day of my Spring break. My last Spring break I will ever have! Wow. How am I going to spend it? Well, taking lots of photographs. Of what? Hmm. Well, my dogs of course and plants that are coming alive. I would also like to record lots of videos with my video camera of my opinions about certain subjects and whatever else sparks my mind. The weather is suppose to be wonderful so I will have to go on one of my long bicycle rides I love to do. My plan for this break is just to have fun because there are no more long breaks before I graduate in June. Its not that far off! So time to enjoy my Spring break before it is gone.

Snow Drops of Spring

March 8, 2010 – 4:52 pm

Its been a long time since I could go to school in just a t shirt and no hoodie. Felt great! The temperature was in the high fifties and the sun was shining with not a cloud in the sky. There was also a nice breeze. It was a perfect day!

The first sign of spring popped up in the garden a few days ago. It is so exciting to see the first flowers of spring. Know what they are? Snow drops. These pretty little white flowers put a smile on my face knowing that spring is in the air. Woohoo! The garden is coming alive!

Beauty of Red

October 7, 2009 – 11:30 pm

Red_Tulip

It was mad windy here today.  So windy that I could of blown away since I am fun size. Luckily my two feet stayed grounded on earth. We should all be thankful for gravity.

I just love this photo that I took a long time ago. I do not remember when or where but just edited it tonight. It is a red tulip I think. The lighting is lovely. What do you think of this photo? Do you like it? Any criticism? Share your lovely thoughts with me. Oh, since its Halloween month I am going to try to get some good Halloween and Fall photos. Thats my assignment for myself this month.

Anyways, how was everyones day? Anything interesting happened? Not here. Same old same old. Day went by like always. After school I took Princess for a bicycle ride. This man pulled up in his pickup truck and is like telling me how I should slow down because my dog has small legs and my bicycle has big tires. To myself I am like well I am not going to push my dog if she does not like it. Sheesh. Its alright he was just informing me on something I know a lot about. Anyhow, Princess loved it. If she did not enjoy it and seemed like it wore her out too much I would not do it but she enjoys the exercise.  So, moving on. I am going to relax my muscles and then get some sleep. Then start my day all over again. Take care. Peace.

Come back warm weather

September 29, 2009 – 11:37 pm

Sunflowers_09Fall brought the cool air with it. I am not ready for long pants and sweatshirts yet. Maybe it is because summer went by so fast and just want the warm weather to last. Im also sad the days are getting shorter and shorter. Not as much time to spend outside after school. No real long bicycle rides that enjoy. Please come back warm weather. I miss you already.

I put the sunflowers as the photo of the day so I think of summer and warm weather. Ahhh! Well, my day was not bad. Just an average day. School was good. No drama drama today which is always nice. Not a fan of drama. Anyways, time to relax. Put some heat on and stay nice and warm in my room. Brrr. Hope you all stay warm and not freeze your booties off. I will chit chat with y’all soon. Peace.

SunflowerDid you know summer time is almost over here? Yup, and then fall is here. Fall is a really pretty season with all the trees changing colors. The green tree leaves will turn red, yellow and orange. It will be a great season to take leaf photos. So early heads up. Be ready for lots of fall photos.By the way, my Monday was not so bad. It could of been worse but I did not want a hell Monday.

Moving Forward from 9/11

September 11, 2009 – 11:56 pm

black_eyed_susans_09As everyone knows today was the day of the attacks in New York City in 2001. I am not going to talk about it because I believe we should all move forward with it. Yes, lets remember all the people who lost their lives and were heroes but we do not need to keep making such a big deal out of it. Moving forward is the most important thing for this country. Lets not hold on to hate and fear. We must be strong and we will make it. If we grieve always because of what happened in the past we will never move forward. We will never forget the ones who lost their lives on 9/11 but we must take steps forward and continue doing so. Rest in peace all the lives lost on 9/11. You will never be forgotten.

Black eyed susans. Such great flowers to photograph. These black and yellow flowers just are so bold and so addicting to photography. Anyways what do you think of this photo? Like the composition? Like the depth of field? What do you dislike? Anything? Let me know. Anyways, I am going to relax. I am very happy that it is Friday. TGIF! I am going to listen to some music and surf the internet some. Hope to talk to you all soon. Peace.

Movie Thursday

September 10, 2009 – 10:41 pm

red_flower_09I stayed home sick today. Got a bad cold and a bad sinus headache. The cold is getting better at least. You know what I did all day? I watched movies on my imac. I watched seven movies. Thats a record for me in one day. I rocked the movie world today. Lets see. I watched Black Dog, Cry Baby, Final Destination 4, Shadowheart, Bitten, Prayers for Bobby and The Horse Boy. It was lots of fun and got lots of rest.

Its a pretty red flower. This photo was taken a few days ago I liked how the sun hit the flower perfectly. It is not one of my top favorite photos but its nice. Just a pretty flower photo. What do you think of it? Anyways, I am going to rest and listen to some music and then get some sleep. I hope you all had a nice day. Hope to talk to you all soon. Peace.
