It's time to taste what you most fear.
I rarely post and/or take photos of myself, but I guess this may be an important thing to document in my life that I might want to look back on some day, right?
Taking pictures with my Nikon is really strange to me, with it being a such a big, heavy camera and with the lens and all but the new live view shooting mode does make it pretty easy and interesting. Yeah, here's my face. That's all.
Oh, I guess I do want to mention (my shirt reminded me!) that this past Wednesday, Corpsey gave me a free ticket to go with her to see Jello Biafra at Altar Bar, in Pittsburgh. I must say, that was definitely one of the best decisions that I have made in a long time. I was so close to passing up the opportunity just because it seemed like too much of a hassle and took too much energy, but now I can certainly die a littler happier after hearing that voice live, that is for sure! What an amazing man! I get giddy thinking about it. It was pretty moving in some strange way? You know how I feel about live music. It was a crazy day of work and then going to a show. Being on my feet all day and drinking on top of that was pretty exhausting. Not to mention I had to go into work early the next morning, on about four hours of sleep, and work a ten hour day. You know what, though? It's a night I'll never forget and that's what matters. If you would have asked me on Thursday at work, I may have told you otherwise, but I impress myself sometimes when I put my mind to it. No, but seriously, I would have been kicking myself for life for not going, if I wouldn't have!

Lately I've been so in love with my Pinterest. I know this site has been for quite some time and it is really getting its fair share of praise and popularity these days.. but I still stand behind it 100%. I don't always have the time, energy, or desire to blog. I've even been slacking on keeping up with my favorite blogs. I regret this deeply and I do still try my hardest because it's something I love and a huge part of my life. However, Pinterest is so unbelievably convenient, especially on my iPhone. I can pin now and look later when I need a pick me up or just to expand on an idea. When I go to my Pinterest page, it makes me so very happy to see a lovely hodge-podge of things that I love and that inspire so many creative feelings and thoughts.
I know I posted this quote somewhere on my blog in the past, but I'm going to post it again, because it's so very true;
“Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that
resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films,
new films, music, books, paintings, photographs, poems, dreams, random
conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds,
bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from
that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft)
will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is
non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery - celebrate it
if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard
said: “It’s not where you take things from - it’s where you take them
to.”
