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 :))
