Busaaaay.

Well, I've missed a day or two of posting, for that I am sorry. I do not even know where to begin. This weekend is the Emo Fair. Which means two nights of racing at the Emo Speedway. The biggest special they hold all year. Due to this special, my brother, his girlfriend and his boss are all home for it.

I've been busy all week. Making cards for racers, Photoshop templates, printing off entries for the Fair Exhibition Hall, just tons of stuff. I ended up getting the photos of the shoot I attended last weekend... I'll be posting those soon.

Anyways. So I wanted to shoot at the races this weekend. It's a good time to get pictures of a lot of cars and, for me, an opportunity to make some money on the side. I took a shit load of pictures. I'll give the final count once they are finished uploading on my computer. 4 CF cards worth. I'm gonna guess about over 10GB's worth in a few hours. I shot all the hot laps and all the heats. I was using a borrowed cam. Andrew's Canon EOS 40D (the same one I used to shoot the production photos) and a borrowed flash (Lincoln Dunn's Canon 580EX II Speedlite). It was awesome. I'll post pictures of the setup later.

I was beginning to feel some heavy rain drops and decided it was time for me to pack up my (and others) gear and head to the stands to sit and watch the last 3 races if they were gonna continue. They did. However, the last race got cut short, due to more rain. After we made it down into the pits a hurricane began. I've never gotten so wet in so little time. It was nuts. You could seriously watch the gravel in the pits wash away. I was soaking wet from running to my car.

After we made it to the car, I had to drop some people off then went to the bar to check out the crowd. It was good, so we opted to go change, which was a great idea, except I only had spare pants and a t-shirt. I dried off as best as I could but my gitch were soaking wet, lol. Not to mention having no spare socks and my shoes probably weighted an extra 10lbs each from being so soaked. We went back to the bar, chilled for a bit.

It was Maverick Judson's CD release party. Big crowd. Different than most crowds usually there. I was supposed to be taking pictures, but I was so soaking wet, I just didn't have it in me. Not to mention losing my phone in the parking lot and some how and finding it half an hour later in a puddle. Long story. I did get it working this morning though. I let it dry out in a sealed Zip-Lock bag full of rice. It still works with the exception of the small top display...no biggie.

After all that, I just didn't feel like taking photos. Sorry Mavvy. After an hour or two at the bar I headed home. Stopped at a stock car party, where my brother, his GF, a few of my friends and parents etc were. Ate some leftovers and eventually made my way home.

Upon getting home, I find my brother writting a Facebook message to my Ex. I tried to convince him not to, told him it was none of his business, but if you know my brother and if you know him drunk, there was nothing I could do. I don't know what he said, but i'm sure it wasn't too pleasant. At this point I can't care, and honestly I do not. It's in the past. She can take care of herself. I'm not that guy anymore.

Things have been going pretty good lately. I feel like a different person. Kind of like the person I used to be. Happy and living each day awaiting the next. I think over the next month there will be some changes in my life. Friends are going to be leaving town, my place of employment might change, my wrist....well might need more fixing, who knows. I look forward to change, who doesn't.

I'm thinking now, I should have maybe spaced this out more....perhaps put it in a paragraph type format.....who am I kidding, no one reads this anyways, lol. Well, more updates later I suppose, and also pictures coming sooooooon!

I decided to go back and make paragraphs....
