Feeling Better, Feeling Photogenic

Grab A Martini, It's Gonna Be A Long One

Oh my goodness, do we think I can update y'all in one post? Well, let's find out.  Lots has happened since I last posted.  First off, something I mentioned in my last post, I resigned from my job.  My last day is October 28th.  This had been coming for quite a while.  Obviously I'm not going to go into detail about why I am leaving, but I can tell you that I feel 100 pounds lighter.  Then after I gave notice I got a yicky bug.  I'm sure stress made me more susceptible and it's going around, but it kicked my but for four days.  Now I'm dealing with transitions, lots of transitions.  Transitions at work, transitions after I leave, and grad school looming large on the horizon.  But let me instead mention a few good things.  I recently did two paid photography gigs.  Pretty cool for my portfolio and my wallet. The photos from one of these events may be featured in a magazine soon, and I will certainly keep you posted on that.  Here are a few from the events.

There is also an exciting event coming up for me that involves a trip to our nation's capital around Halloween.  Anybody know what I'm talking about?  That's right my liberal lefty friends, I'm flying out to go to Jon Stewart's Rally To Restore Sanity on October 30th.  I'm meeting my cousin and The Girl Wife Who Is Way Too Good For Him (you remember them from last year's wedding) and staying with her family friends.  I have never been to Washington D.C. before and am so excited to be a part of this event with these cool people.  I know Jon will get some great guests and speakers.  I'm sure I will have tons of amazing photos for you when I return.  In the meantime, I hope to be able to blog a little more frequently.  The least I can do is give you some pictures.  The problem is that when I am stressed, my motivation to take my camera everywhere with me goes down.  And when I do have it, I often don't have the energy to get it out and use it.  I can tell you that there is a Richard Simmons-esque Arrow photo waiting for you in the near future so stay tuned.  Thanks for hanging in there.  Now back to work!

Oy Vey

I was sure I would have had a post up by now. Well, life sort of got in the way. I resigned from my job effective at the end of October. And right now I have a 100.5 degree fever. Fun! I have some pictures to share with y'all as soon as I feel human again. Thanks for your patience.

Remembering

Because forgetting history has gotten us into much of the trouble we are in today. Let us think of a quote from one of our founding fathers.

Sorry I have not been blogging much lately. Life for me has not been fantastic recently. It seems like I have just had one blow after another. This is leading to lots of changes in my life. I keep telling myself that change is good and that everything happens for a reason, but often times those just seem like useless platitudes. Soon I will be able to talk about some of what is going on. Don't worry, I am healthy and so is my family. In fact, I have been walking three miles, four to five times a week to work off the anger and pain so I am healthier than ever. Ironic right?

But let's end with some good news. My hair products are now available at a salon! I have sold two big batches to them and they are getting rave reviews. That makes me pretty proud.
