Photos.

Had some Chinese takeout last night. Below is my fortune. I await this miracle!

Above is a little project I took on this morning. I awoke to the most frost outside to date and instantly had this vision. I showered, tossed on some spring attire and grabbed my cam. I set everything up and convinced my friend to come outside and take the shot. Few warm tricks with a hoody on and then it was down to business. Not too much long after we had the shot. I did all the editing in Photoshop and came up with the finish product above. It's also on my Flickr.

Black Friday Spendingsssss!

Probably shouldn't have bought anything.... but I did.

It only happens once a year, why not!

All this sheeeee for under $100.00. Not bad right?

Inspiration

I want to take more photos!

I'm inspired by something, and I want to take more and more photographs.

I need to really look at my surroundings and find art.

I mean I live with two other guys (who think pictures are 'gay') and in a small town at that.

I'll find something to capture I'm sure.

I also decided I want a new lens or two for my Rebel XTi. Either a decent macro lens or a full frame fisheye. Looking forward to Christmas is all I can say. :)

I got a new Blog.

I signed up for a Tumblr account yesterday.

It's amazing. So much good art and photography floating around there.

Wonder how long it takes me to ditch this one....

I'll do my best to update both when I can.

News.... nothing at the moment.

Maybe lataaaaaaa.

News....I'm posting at work.

Awesome!

Just did a fair size Flickr upload.

Filmed some basement skating the other night. Edit to come soon via Facebook, Flickr, YouTube.

Got the Friends edit up. I really enjoy it.

Still have some BMX footy to edit and upload.

My Ode to Apple art project is now in the works, as I think I have all the stuff I need to complete it.

Our internet sucks at the house. Which is why I've been downloading all my... stuff... at work. The connection here is NUTS! It tested at 11.8 MB/s 2 days ago. :)

My brother's birthday is tomorrow. I should buy him something..... not sure what though, no where to shop here. I'll look at lunch.

Not much else to report. Mission for the weekend. Find skate spots and build a 10' long box for the basement. Yessssss!

Deck Painting.

This is the broken board that I painted last weekend. Wanted to make some art to hang up in the new (sparse walled) living room. It ended going in my friend's room. None the less it was a completed painting. Not too sure where the inspiration came from. The only thing I could think of was that it's November and still no snow... hence the leaves still everywhere? Maybe.

PS. Sorry for the glare. I was lazy and didn't want to shot on Manual settings. Auto for the lazy man tonight.

Slowing Down?

Where to begin. I'm all moved in Manor, SK. My brother, my good friend Jamie and I are sharin a 3 bedroom house here in Saskatchewan. It's going pretty great so far. The house is decent. We've already got a new stove, due to a bunk old one, lol. Half of the house has fresh paint. We got internet yesterday.... it's kinda bunk though. I'll have to take it easy on the the downloads. The basement is totally unfinished an mainly for storage and laundry. However it's perfect for our new ping pong table (beer pong table as my house mates call it) and my Zero Switchblade rail :). We've already got the house measured for all new carpet and tiles that are going to be put in soon. We also just found out we're getting new counter tops. There isn't much left that we need to finish the place off. I wish it had a dish washer though! I think we might even be getting a different fridge. This one is really small and ghetto... aka old! Work is going great. No cheque yet... one more week... thank god! Half for rent and half to VISA probably. I am kinda thinking about building some quarter pipes in the basement though.... time will tell. Wow, I just started watching Californication and let me say, it is awesome. I did the whole first season in two sittings. I think i'm going to begin season two tonight. I've been eating really healthy lately. Not sure why, probably cause it's good for me. I hope to keep on that path and get in shape also. That would be great. Finally sat down and edited my footage from this year. It's on my YouTube and Facebook. I am pretty proud of it. I've already been given lots of props, so worth breaking my wrist and putting a hole in my leg. I edited a part for my friend Justin, it also turned out really good. I have a bit more edits to do, should be done those in a week or so. Depends on my schedule. This weather is nuts. Halfway through November and no snow. I love it! I went skating at a out door skate park on Remembrance Day. It was fun! Small little park build by Barkman. Similar to Fort with more tranny. Everything was small and tight. It was a good change. I'm hoping to film some basement skating and post that soon. Also some sort of creative photos. I've been so busy i've kinda lost touch on that. Did a painting last weekend. Got one more in mind. I'll try to get pics up this weekend. This is so all over the place. One point to the next. I should really make these paragraphs.... too late now. Anyways, I'm still at work for another 20 minutes. I should make the best of my time. Lunch was amazing today, I might add. Staff BBQ. Skewers. So good! That is all for now. Hope to post more sooooooon!

I'm Back

Well kinda. Still busy, but with internet in my house!!!!

My Part.

This is basically my 'part' for the year. After not starting to really skate until June of this year and then dealing with a broken wrist for 9 weeks it was kind of a slow start to the season. Living in a small town doesn't help much either. I did however go through some things that only motivated me to get on the board as much as possible and I guess the results are seen here. I didn't film much and don't consider myself to be any good, however I am proud of this part, I feel I got a lot better this season. I haven't felt that about my skating for years.

I've tried to upload this video for the last two days... it does not seem to be working. Just go to my YouTube Channel and watch it.

Sorry folks.

Do you ever just wake up thinking about someone? For no reason at all? I do. More often than I'd like to admit. It sucks. I'm not a very religious man and I don't pray too often, but when I do I pray that I could forget. I'm not sure what it is that I miss? Her? Maybe just her company, her mere presence? I wish I had all the answers, I'd settle for even half. I would have never guessed that I would still be waking up feeling the way I do some mornings. I mean, I'm okay with the fact I'm alone. I get that. I will never understand how I was treated or why, but I'm okay with that also. I am not okay with my friends telling me that no matter what "they always come back." I know her. I know her well, I know she is not coming back. I think I'm just lonely, and for once in my life I'm admitting it. I love my alone time don't get me wrong, but I think I'm just better off with someone. I feel like i'm a better person with her, or someone else for that matter. I'm not complaining, or pouting, all is fair in love and war, I now know that. I'm just venting more than anything I guess. So what, I miss my Ex some days. That's normal. I'm just wondering when that will disappear. When I can look through my DVD binder and read a movie title that was made pre 1980 and not think of her, you know? I could really do without that. Her and I are great friends. We enjoy each others company. I think I feel like our friendship is stronger than it really is sometimes. Maybe I tell her too much. Maybe I'm just looking for that next step, like it was the first time. Who knows. Bottom line is people move on. I am moving on, just not all the way yet. Time heals all wounds, this has proved to be true I've found. It's funny to think how her and I have come so far individually from who we were when we first met. I wonder what she saw in me then? Perhaps when she lost sight? What if we just met for the first time now, as we are now? All 'what ifs' aside that is not going to happen. This has made me a much stronger person, as I've never been through anything like it in my life. I feel for once, like my life has a little direction. I feel like I've made some big steps in the last 2-4 months. I can only hope that it continues to get better. Maybe tomorrow morning I'll wake up and nothing will be on my mind. Wake up with a clear head. I can only wait and see.

PS. Internet tomorrow. The downloading BEGINS! I have about a week worth of TV to catch up on. Busy man. Nothing has changed....

Dead?

Dead you wonder.... no you don't. Not dead. Just busy. Oh... and without internet at home. That should be all taken care of on Tuesday. Just a quick recap. I've moved and am living in Manor, SK with my brother Joey and our friend Jamie. I'm working in Carlyle, SK. All is good. Great even. No time to expand. More updates soooooon!
