Imitation is the highest form of flattery
Hello.
It is Friday.
11:30PM.
I am not tired.
..and I very much feel like typing.
.....and I have some things Id like to get off my chest....
Number 1 being something that has been bugging me lately. It's dealing with about...two people at the moment. One mainly. Let me first stress ... I love being an inspiration to people and I continuely pride myself on that...BUT...with that said, I very VERY much cannot stand when people flat out copy me, and copy my work. It flat out disgusts me......I work very hard for my modeling, my singing, my photography...everything......and to see it being ripped off by people I know, is not something I take easy. Sure, it's bound to happen when you want to be in the business I want to be in....but it's people i KNOW who are doing it, and posting it all over the internet claiming it's their work. Let's get one thing straight....I stalk people online, I admit that.....and I will find work that you have posted on there. It disgusts me...It makes you look like a fucking moron who has no creativity...It makes you look even more stupid for posting it right after I posted it...and it's just down right wrong. So before you think about doing it again, I would beware....And yes, you can consider that a threat. ......I will leave it at that.
NEXT!! :)
On a much more happier note......I am starting cosmetology school for skin care & makeup artistry in less than a month. Im actually quite excited about it because I havent been in school for awhile now. I finished high school back in 06 as a lot of you know, and then did 2 years of college....I am now finally realizing ONE thing Id like to do in life so Im finally going for it. Granted, I still want to do a million other things....but there's always TIME! :)) I should be done with the degree in about 6-8 months or so. So with that said, please dont copy my dreams this time around ;) you know who you are......
None the less, I am very excited. I get to work with 2 major fashion shows in the Milwaukee area doing over 60 models' makeup, I get to have clients for the 1st time in my life (other than for my photography stuff), Ill be able to have a good job once Im done and make some awesome money, and Ill have endless opportunities around the country for the field I want to actually enter myself into. So Im pretty excited it's finally all happening. I knew moving to Milwaukee would help me figure things out :)
On another note....so far far so good on the New Years Resolution thing :) My New Years Resolution was to take 1 photo...every day...for the next 365 days. The 365 Day Photo Challenge. I have been doing pretty good so far, although I am starting to run out of options inside my apartment haha. There's only so much you can do when you live in a "so-so" neighborhood and you don't want to take the chance of walking outside with a $700 camera in hand.....and its really cold out.....and I have no car at the moment...but thats a whole 'nother story..(see next paragraph)..............but its going good so far. I can tell it's already broadening my horizons so to speak with photography. Gives me the chance to find something new and exciting every single day, and to be honest, I was really lacking that in life. It also has already taught me some new editing skills, in which I still suck at but hey, what can ya do...I work with what I got.
A lot of people ask my why I don't just go to school for photography....and you know, to be honest, Id love to...maybe someday I will....but right now its just a hobby..Something I absolutely love doing. I do everything now that I would do once I got out of photography school, so to me theres no point. The only three things I need work on is shooting in a studio /working with lighting (because I have no studio, and I have no lighting), working on PhotoShop (because Im too stubborn to teach myself, and don't even wanna try at this point!) and shooting in low light. Soooooooo Im doing okay for now...Maybe someday Ill take some classes on it but Im content right now.
Ok next paragraph...my car.
My car has died and went to heaven. Transmission fell basically. Yay meeeee. (sarcasm)
I havent had a car for the past couple weeks which REALLY sucks! One would think, "your in a big city, theres public transportation"...yes, yes there is...which is mostly what i have to rely on right now....BUT again, I live in a "so-so" neighborhood. Not the best place to live, not the worst place to live....but, like this morning, it's not the greatest time when you get hit on my a sketchy, scrawny, drugged up, black guy who wants to get in your pants. Not my ideal way to start the day........AND the busses here don't go all the way out to where I work, so I have to get on 1 bus, go 10 minutes, wait 20 minutes, get on another bus, go a half hour, wait another 15 minutes, and then my work come and gets me....THEN shane has had to come get me from work to get back home, and his car is on it's last leg too....so its been a more than stressful process. Hopefully by wednesday I should have a new car. Me & the Father are workin on it.....
Let's see.....currently I have a pyscotic cat circling the kitty condo I got my cats for christmas...........as for how sturdy it is, she's a fat cat and almost knocks it over...
I dont know why I told you that....
Another thing Im not sure why Im about to tell you.....I really want the new iphone from Verizon BUT my plan ends in like a year and a half lol. Ill have to suck it up and wait.....let all the bugs get worked out I guess...
Oh! Im in a fashion show apparently this February for Valentines Day. Should be fun. Well, its Feb 11th, with a valentines day theme. I start school ON valentines day...so much for having a romantic night out right? Ehhh get my flowers, Ill be happy.
..............and the cat condo just tipped over......wonderful
Its funny how my A.D.D. comes out when I write blogs isnt it?!?!
Ahh, you know the worst part about having to get a new car and turn over my old one??? Not the fact that I have to fork out more money that I dont have...not that fact that Ill have a car payment again (which does suck...), not the fact that this car shouldnt have died this soon..........BUT the fact that I have to clean my old car out! Anyone who knows me knows Im not exactly a "clean freak" lol. Im very stubborn when it comes to cleaning....and I tend to live in my car. You get the point...........
Im not sure what else to talk about....(this always happens).
I was going to write a HUGE blog about a certain topic but I decided it's too "controversial" at this point and it's something I no longer want to get into, so I just..wont.
Anyways, re-read that 1st paragraph and remember how much of a pain I am to put up with, and how much of a bitch I can be if you piss me off.....with that said, please do not copy anymore, because I feel I should start putting copywrite on my photos....and I dont even think thats technically possible.....BUT either way, I wouldn't want to deal with me if I find it happening again.
With all THAT said.....thank you and goodnight :))

Carpe Noctem
(Seize the night)
So Im all settled into the new apt in Milwaukee. I have to say, I do love it here, just sucks that I don't have a job yet. I find myself quite bored quite often with Shane working his two jobs daily. I feel like a stay at home mom with 2 kids, meaning the 2 kitties we have running around. Mine, and the new addition as of last night, shane's new kitty, which right now is tearing apart a feather toy and cant figure out how to get the feather out of her mouth......
I had a few job interviews so far, all of which seemed interested but I havent gotten a call back from any yet. Im really hoping for this spa job that I recently had an interview with. Seems abouot perfect for me.....so keep your fingers crossed for a call back from them!!
I debated going out and sitting on the roof to write this, but as usual, Im a lazy pile and didn't feel like walking all the way up there.
Milwaukee's good though, I really like it. Ive always liked visiting Shane up here, but never really thought Id be living here one day....Im proud of myself though I must say, I finally made it out of Iowa. Kinda surreal to think about....even though its only a state away, it's still a step. I lve the big city, I dont think Im meant for small town living. I love it to a point and Ill always be the small town country girl that I am but Im not meant for it thats for damn sure.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate my aunt for letting me live with her this past year. She's helped me SO much and I honestly can't even describe how thankful I am for it and for her. When I packed up all my stuff and started putting it in the truck to move up here, she told me if it didn't work up here my room there would always be there....and as corny as it was, it made me tear up. I just really appreciate people being like that towards me....I don't get hospitality like that a lot, so I guess it's just nice. Makes me feel worth a little something anyway.
So this new addition, yep...new kitty :) She's adorable, but looks a little too much like my cat haha. I think its funny cuz Im already mixing them up. We haven't 100% come up with a name yet for her so any options are well appreciated if you send them my way ;) hint hint....I posted a photo earlier on twitter of her if you need/want to see what she looks like. She's not a "kitten" persay anymore, shes 1 year old, but she was only $25 to adopt so it was one of those things where we were like, dude, $25....get her. She's REALLY sweet too..Something Im definetly NOT use to all the time with my bi-polar pysco cat. Which speaking of her, she hates this new kitty...but imagine that right? Her hating something? Who woulda thunk it....
So i really should put more stuff away in the apt, we have boxes still everywhere lol, but I really have no ambition too. I am yet again a lazy pile.... my excuse is there's no where to put everything yet...because mainly the boxes I have left are stuff that should go on shelves, and we don't have any shelves, therefor I cant put it up now can I?! We hung pictures and stuff up the other day though so thats out of the way, now I just need to invest in one big book shelf, or a bunch of wall hanging shelves........this is why I need a job.
I really do miss my old job, the people there were beyond amazing, and the atmosphere was perfect for a job....It was great, and I miss it...ALOT. But what can ya do, right? Ya gotta move on sometime....
In other news, Shane and I decided to check out the casino here in Milwaukee when we were bored one day....very random trip over there, we spent like $40 between the 2 of us and I won Shane $100 on a lucky spin haha, so it was a good trip :) Went out last night to "Dinner With The Schmucks" which was a pretty funny movie I must say....AND we went to a movie tehatre that had a bar in it and let you drink IN the theatre while watching the movie....Im sorry, But I thought that was quite AMAZING! Anyway, I had a lot of fun last night doing that, I love date nights :))
I don't really know much else that has been going on lately....I need more friends up here I think haha! Or you old friends of mine need to get your butt up here to visit ;)!
I guess that's it :)

NEWS!!
So Ive taken the step (giant leap) and decided to move...out of state...FINALLY! Ive been saying since I was in 3rd grade that I wanted to move out of state and I always said the day I graduated I was OUT OF HERE! Well graduation came and went and now its been almost 5 years ago and Im STILL stuck in Iowa.....so this is it, not quite the "Florida" I wanted to originally move to (which could potentially happen), but its still out of state and Im happy for the move. Its a big step but its not TOO far from home, which I think will be good. That way if need be, I can get home in about 4 hours. Im moving to Milwaukee, WI to be with my boyfriend. Sounds silly, but you don't know my position and you don't know how desperate I have been to get out of Iowa. So before anyone starts saying it's a stupid idea, just don't. Its actually what I want to do and Im quite proud of myself for FINALLY having the nerve to move away.
In other news, I officially booked my first magazine spread!!! I dont know if youd really count it but I def am and I am very excited about it!!! My shoot is tomorow morning so you'll hear all about it soon enough!!!
One more thing.....American Idol. My oh-so insistant mother is making me audition for American Idol...ok ok I kinda want to as well haha! Well anyways its in 7 days.....EEK! I still am trying to figure out what to sing, I think I have an idea but who knows...I tend to change my mind a lot lol

Milwaukee...
So a couple new things about the above title...
Numero Uno- Milwaukee is hosting American Idol auditions in a few weeks. I am debating on going...but hmmmmm what to sing, give me options people!!!!
Numero Two-o- Im contimplating moving to Milwaukee, transfering to possibly a hotel up there. Dont get me wrong, I LOVE my job, a lot actually, first time I think Ive ever said that....but I can't find ANYWHERE to live around here thats priced decent and in a good neighborhood. Ive looked at apartments online in Milwaukee and theyre realitively decent priced and in good neighborhoods......decisions decisions... :( I really hate to leave my job though. Either way I need to decide soon, or find SOMEPLACE to live here, because the drive for me is getting REALLY old driving to work 45 minutes a day for work. What are your guys' opinions?

Have an issue? I suggest you talk to ME
Its come to my attention that people are very stupid and very jealous....
Jealous of stuff they shouldn't even be jealous about....
Number 1, if you are going to hate one me, do NOT hate on my work and something I work hard for....
Number 2, I understand my work isn't "amazing" (im talking about my photography), but I work extremely hard to make my clients happy, and they ARE happy with the photos I take of them, therefor do not critique me like some people have been. Those "some people" are "aquaintenses" of mine, whome I no longer care to say I "know" them.
I understand anything a person does will be critiqued at some point but the stuff these people were saying was just plain rude and unnecessary. Like I said, I know my work isn't perfect, nor do I intend it to be, BUT that gives you NO right to act the way you have just because you hate me and always have. Which kinda makes me wonder why you hate me anyways lol. Its extremely childish to me but whatever, I'll just feel the same towards you, no harm done.
People, Im not really a "hateful" person unless you do something to me that I can't forgive you for. I know forgiveness is key in life, but theres some things I personally dont even want to forgive people for because it was their stupidity that it happened in the first place....Im kind of venturing out now and not just talking about my photography, but you get my point.
Anyways, thats all I really wanted to say. I guess, in closing, if you have beef with me, take it up to ME, don't go through my photos and photography to try and piss me off......you succeeded but you also succeeded in making yourself look like a complete and totaly fucking moron. End.Of.Story.....
Oh one more thing....not dealing with my photography work, but everything else....STOP THINKING YOUR SMART, GOING BEHIND MY BACK AND TALKING ABOUT ME. You are clearly obsessed with stalking me and its getting way too old even for me to handle. Its pathetic....and YOU think IM a horrible person lmao....keep thinkin that sweetie, itll get you real far in life. Your "friends" arent really your "friends" if they are constantly telling me what you talk to them about are they?! LoL.....You got another thing comin honey, and it aint gunna be pretty when it does.......take that exactly how you want it........ You wanna say shit about me and talk down about me, spreading more lies and ruining a rep that I work extremely hard for? You keep it up, and youll see how far it goes........ Take a step back and realise who the shitty person is here...... THE.END
