Ahhhhhhhh!

Nothing like coming home from a loooooong day at work and popping open a nice cold beer. I just wish it was a New Castle, but moke beer will suffice. I don't know how I did it before. Start at 7am-12pm at Longs, then 1230pm-2am at FMC. Did that daily. I must be getting old. Well maybe it's because I started at 430am. I'm sure I would have been ok if I started at 9am or so. =p

Anyway, I've been in love with my "new" Canon 30D. After shooting Kalaheo Class of 89 reunion, I really want to try to get my name out there. Nothing really big. Maybe just a few small gigs as a side job. I'm learning more and more when it comes to shooting and photo edits. Photoshop CS3 + Lightroom 2 = WIN! In my opinion, my edits have been fkn great. I have a few coworkers that want me to take pics of their kids. So hopefully the word gets around and I can make some beer money doing something I really love.

I've been really into the whole panoramic thing lately. I went to Kauai last week and I was pretty disappointed in a bunch of the pics. =/ Only a few came out ok. Here's one that I really like.

I'm Back...

Back in the game!

Last week I finally picked up a "new" camera. The 300D has been broke for almost 2 years now. I found a 30D on craigs for dirt! I'm super stoked. I never really got to go out and shoot, but I did get some test shots. Faka is mean!

First real "shoot" is on Thursday. I get to shoot a reunion at D&B. Should be interesting. I just wish I had a flash to use. Gonna have to do my best with what I have. 18-55mm kit lens and the nifty 50.

Hopefully for my dirty 30, I can convince Lorna to get me a lens or even cough up money for an underwater housing. Wishful thinking, but doesn't hurt to ask. Bwahaha.

Turbo!

Mobile Emo!

Sweet! My emo sessions have gone mobile!

F*ck My Life v2.0

I got the news yesterday. And it wasn't good news. I didn't get into the Respiratory program at KCC. 35 applied and they took in 16. I was #19 thanks to the 2 "C" grades. Should I hang myself now or later? David Carradine style! haha. ok bad joke. My life is just put on hold for a while. It really sucks. I had fucking plans. Big fucking plans. And it's put on hold. Where do I go from here?

Options.
#1) Retake classes and apply at KCC next year.
#2) Retake classes and apply at schools in the mainland.

I'm currently looking at option #2. Maybe it will be better for me. Maybe I need to get away. Maybe I should move somewhere NOT in the west coast. I'll fkn move to Maine. Boise. Idunno. Somewhere different. haha. On the down side.. where the fuck would I live. WA and Las Vegas, I have family.

Trying to stay positive is hard. It's something I have to do, but not today. I'll just sulk in my room. Tomorrow is a new day.

Cheeeeee!

This is by far my favorite vacation. So fkn fun and relaxing. Chilled with Jeff and Brandon, now kicking it with the family. God has blessed my vacation with such beautiful weather. My stay in Oregon was short, but memorable. Brandon took us where ever we wanted and to some pretty awesome places to eat.

While in Washington, I'm pretty much just kicking it with the fam bam. My diet has been BBQ and beer. lol. Seriously. We bbq every chance we get. Also got to meet up with some friends. They took me to the Red Hook Brewery "tour". It was pretty much go inside and try all their beers for only $1.

Tonight was awesome. Went to a Mariners game and we had some kick ass seats. 4 rows up from the right field fence. Right behind Ichiro! <3 haha. M's were ahead and it got better in the 8th. Homerun about 5 rows behind us and to the right. Screaming and yelling.. "Wooohoooo! That was close!" Then.... of all players, Ken fucking Griffey Jr smacks one to right field directly at us. Ball is caught literally 2 rows in front of us! "Cheeeeeee!" Mokes celebrate! We made ESPN and King5 news. What a fkn day!

12 Years!

Today marks 12 years since I've graduated high school! Holy shit I'm getting old. I went to Nate's graduation yesterday and it was pretty awesome. Well, the dinner part was. Buffet at Kuhio Grill @ the Mariott. Winnahs! Family + all you can eat prime rib + beers = win! Good times. Towards the end of the night, I was beat. Woke up at 345am for work and no nap the entire day. Finally crashed at 11pm.

Congrats Nate!


Me and Jeff leave for the PNW tomorrow. It's gonna be great. We get to party it up with Brandon. Do like we use to when he was here. 3 of us. Food and lots of New Castles! WERD!

And today, I just watched Ip Man. If you like kung fu, this movie is pretty fkn bad ass. Seriously. It was good. Go watch it! Here's the trailor.

F*ck My Life...

Ahhhhh.... school is killing me. I always thought school was suppose to make you smart. Well, why the fuck do I feel so dumb? I can't seem to remember any of the shit I study. I have 1 more month until finals and then I get to send in my app for Nursing and Respiratory. I need a good grade this semester. If I don't, then I'm screwed.

I decided to cut my hours from work again. I'm back down to 24 a week. Maybe more if I can. That means 2 things. More time studying and no fuckin money again. All this before my vacation! FUCK MY LIFE! I really don't know how people do it. Work, school, and have a life? Impossible. Other than myself, I have people counting on me to finish school. Waiting patiently... or not. FUUCKKK!!!!
