Life

I'm still actually doing the weekly photo taking adventure, surprising. Ive done it two weeks longer than I thought I would. I'm on the third week. I am behind but I'm trudging along. The second week was "life"

I went to the bar on Friday night. In an attempt to reconnect with my former self, my old life. The expectations were set high. Seeing as I hold going out on a pedestal. A pedestal built of memories of sloppy nights, dancing, attempting to look attractive, eating junk at 2am and seeing people, lots of them.

This was my 3rd try at going out and reliving this since Shane was born. I quickly discovered that my wardrobe is sub par, things are expensive, I'm only good at doing the running man, and this old gray mule she ain't what she used to be. BUT neither is the bar scene. It's the same crap just with a different face or should I say the same crap just the faces are more haggard..
My girlfriend and I discussed how we are not quite sure if it's us that really changed or the times. I think it may just be both. Not to sure.
But what I do know is that my life is different now. Its low key, bordering on boring. My sense of humor is drastically different. I now find my 16 month old funnier than most people I know. If i want to get down with my bad self I can turn on the Xbox kinect and shimmy shimmy shake or rock out in the kitchen (which i do regularly anyway). Sure it's fun to go out blow off some steam but it will never be what it used to be. Tho I can always relive it with one of the 1000's of pictures ive taken over the years
This is my new life.

And I like it.

Here we go again

Well. It's a new year and Ive got the same itch that needs to be scratched.
Do more. Live more. Take less from the Debbie downers of my life.
And of course taking pictures and keeping a blog? Right? Right!

So I've been roped into doing a 52 week picture posting deal by two of my girl friends. Whom I might add take amazing photo's and make me leery to post any of mine but frig it I'll take a stab at anything at least once..

On Myfourhensphotography.com she give a word and you photograph what you interpret the word to be in your life and you then post to http://www.flickr.com/groups/m4h/pool/with/6660925541/ . There are droves of people doing it and it's fascinating to see into other people lives through a picture. Take a peek if you'd like.

First week "Resolution"




This is my Shit or get off the pot Resolution. It's time to start harnessing the things I want out of life instead of waiting for it to just fall in my lap.

I've been thrown quite a few punches in this short year so far but I'd like to think I can roll with the best.
