Before I go on, may I note that I promise/hope that the majority of the posts after this will not be as boring.
So anyone who is reading this is likely doing so because I posted the link on my facebook. This means that anyone who is reading this likely knows me. In that case, if you are one of my closer friends, you're probably making fun of me right now for starting a blog. You may even be staring at this thinking "I will never read this again," but in the absurd case that you actually care, you may be wondering why on earth I'm starting one.
Well, I guess I'm about to tell you.
If you didn't know already, I recently dropped out of school in an attempt to save money so I could move to Vancouver. Other than waiting on the elite of Regina at my part-time job, I really am doing nothing with my life. I used to be creative; I used to write all the time and take photos even more. There was even a point in my life where I was constantly painting. I have noticed that lately, I havn't been doing any of this. You would think that with all the spare time I have (don't worry, I'm looking for a full-time job), that I would be at least taking advantage of this time to do the things I love. Well, I'm not, but I'm going to try to change that.
I feel like the only way I'm going to get myself back into writing is if I have a medium in which I have to do this. I am the type of person that often strays from doing anything if I'm not given a reason to do so (basically, I'm admitting that I'm lazy.) Therefore, I want to create this blog with guidelines for myself so I have a reason to stay creative and show what I do. I am posting links to this blog on my facebook in hopes that all the people who are constantly on facebook instead of looking after their responsibilities will somehow wander here. I don't really care if people read this, but it would be nice. And if you do read this, it would be nice to know if you did. If you know me well, you know I'm pretty much the biggest internet creep out there, so I will not judge you if you told me that you read my blog. I would be flattered.
I also have been caught in a point in my life where the people closest to me are ending up in different places. I also aspire to leave hicksville soon and get ready to do my own thing. I hope that if I keep this blog I can keep myself at least mildly close to the people who care about me, that is, if they have the patience to read my rants in print.
The "Guidelines":
Post at least five pictures every post, hopefully posting everyday. I want to condition myself to get back into things that used to make me happy. I moreso need a place to post my pictures (even if they're just snapshots,) because facebook is a ridiculous place to post photographs that aren't of drunk people.
Now, after that tedious and boring explanation, I will post my five pictures.
These were taken yesterday when Elissa and I went to "run errands." By running errands, I really mean leaving Elissa's film at home, not getting it developed, and then going shopping and for ice cream instead. Running errands also means finding shadeless glasses and a headband in Elissa's car and dressing up like American Apparrell tells us to and taking pictures while we drive.
And incase you knew nothing of my desire to move to Vancouver, I'm doing it for Film school. I dropped out of school here because I'm broke and my tuition in Van-City is like 16 grand for a one year course. I informed an old friend of mine of this decision a couple hours ago (at about 2 AM), and he insisted that I buy a lottery ticket. I told him I only would if he picked it out. So a half hour later we found ourselves at the South Albert 7-11 playing scratch and win Monopoly.
I lost.
