So for my studio photography class, I’m forced to create a portfolio-quality picture, based on his requirements for lighting and stuff. I’ve been surprisingly coming up with some pretty cool stuff, so I’m gonna post it on here :)
Week 1 Assignment: Specular Object
(I had to reshoot this :/ )
Week 2: Diffused object (not shiny) … but I cheated.

Week 3: Translucent Glass

Throughout my whole life, things have almost always worked out the way I’ve wanted them to. I’ve experienced weird coincidences and everything has happened for a certain reason. I’m not sure if it’s something that happens to everyone or not. I truly think that there’s someone watching over me and it’s been like this for a majority of my life. Every time I hit a bump in the road &think there’s no solution, something coincidentally comes along at the exact moment i need it. I have a good idea of who it is that’s watching over me.
I just thought I’d put this out there.
I’m actually gonna start blogging again. Every day. For realllll. Stay tuned. :)
I’ve been going through a lot of really intense shit in my life right now, and I think it’s finally time to tell someone about it.
My mom had a complete mental breakdown; seeing delusions, extreme paranoia, hearing voices, and even thoughts of suicide. For the past month, she has been complaining nonstop about people picking on her and doing/saying weird things to her at her job, and it’s all been in her head. Now, she’s at the point where my sisters have to watch her at all times and she’s always drugged up. Who knows if she’ll ever be able to go back to work. I’ve always known that there was something wrong in her head, but no one ever believed me until now that they’re seeing it for themselves.
I’ve been left to fend for myself, since there is no one to support me anymore. My sisters have been telling me it’s a good idea to get a job, but my mom still thinks I shouldn’t, yet she LOVES to remind me of how much of a burden it is for them to pay for everything for me. Every time I talk to her on the phone, all she does is pick me apart. She’s constantly reminding me of all the bad grades I’ve got since I’ve been here and how “irresponsible” it is that I’m always broke. It’s always about all the negative things that I’ve done, and NEVER about what I’ve accomplished. You can’t expect someone to do their best when they’re constantly being broken down.
I have no idea what’s going to happen in the next couple of months, but I’m not expecting it to go well.
I decided to start this blog to keep track of all the ridiculous shit that i see and hear from my window. It’s quite entertaining. :)
2009. I’m amazed at how fast this year has gone by. 2010 is going to be amazing. :)

I’ve been meaning to write something like this for a long time. Before I say anything, please note that I’m 100% straight (I love the men!).
““American Idol” runner-up Adam Lambert built a broad base of support during his run on the show this year. After all, “Idol” got to be the top-rated program on U.S. television by appealing to moms, dads, teens, doctors, lawyers, Indian chiefs and everyone in between.
So when he took the stage on Sunday night at the American Music Awards and simulated oral sex with a back-up dancer, kissed a male keybordist on the mouth and gestured to the audience with his middle finger, he was bound to lose some of that broad “Idol” audience. Lambert all but said as much when he told Rolling Stone magazine that if his performance “offends (people), then maybe I’m not for them.”
But was it right for Lambert to put on such a sexually charged performance at the AMAs on network television, shortly before 11 p.m. on the East and West Coast and before 10 p.m. Central Time, when some teens and younger viewers might still have been watching the show? Does Lambert bear a special responsibility to reign in his sexual provocation, since he presumably has many young fans from his “Idol” days?
ABC on Tuesday canceled Lambert’s scheduled appearance on its “Good Morning America” as a result of his performance at the AMAs, after it received more than 1,500 complaints about his stage antics, but the singer has other TV appearances lined up.”
Now tell me this:
Why is it that female celebrities like Britney Spears have been putting on slutty performances for YEARS, but the second a guy does it, it causes a huge controversy? The fact that Adam is gay plays a huge part in it. Discrimination much? Absolutely. Even though I agree that Adam’s performance was totally slutty and gross, I give him props for not caring whether he offended anyone or not. It takes a strong person to be openly gay in today’s society, when a majority of the population thinks your whole existence is a “sin”, or whatthefuckever.
Do you want to know what REALLY bothers me though?
When parents shelter their kids (teens, in the case of Adam Lambert) from anything related to homosexuality. Being gay is NOT wrong. I don’t give a FUCK about what it says in the bible, or about your morals. By sheltering your kids, you’re basically raising another generation of homophobes.
Gay rights?
In the constitution, it says that the US government is not allowed to establish a religion (separation of church and state?). Soooo, then why can’t gay people get married, if the “no gay marraige” law is based off of religious principles? Don’t even get me started on the moral issue.
If you wanted to offend me, all you would have to do is talk shit about gay people. I hope that one day in the near future, they’ll have the same rights as all other straight Americans do.
THE END.
Please don’t hate.
A couple weeks ago, I went and saw The Used and The Almost. My best friend’s friend got me a photo pass, so I got to go up right between the barrier and the stage for the first 3 songs of each band. I didn’t use the zoom at all on my camera. :)
