Alternate stories of past and present

I have a week of vacation left and seemingly nothing to do with it. Edmonton, you still let me down.





Inside my mind I think I'm just shooting some sort of strange British sitcom or clothing catalog for childlike gay teens.

I'd apologize for the lack of updates here, but I haven't stopped the updates! I've just changed the venue, so,

if you're looking for daily things that interest me, http://blab.imakephotos.com/ is going to be your best bet.

If you're looking to follow my daily photographic happenings, http://daily.imakephotos.com/ is definitely going to be for you.

Both are Tumblr accounts, so if you're a Tumblr user, you can follow either/both accounts and not have to check for updates on your own.

The International Tweexcore Underground

said "how you gonna bring the state down when you're propping it up?
with daytime radio
and skimmed milk and soppy bows
just 'cause you're scared to be alone"

Great intro to the great song.

"And if you've got somebody else who's just as driven and narcissistic as yourself... OH BOY can you dig a deep hole!"

Santogold - I'm A Lady (Diplo remix feat Amanda Blank)

Totally a sucker for this song. Both the original version and this version with the A. Blank spoken beginning. It has such as winning chorus:

"And I like sometimes to wave it high
Up where everyone can see, I'm a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up

I know what's been mad, you really don't
Try to hold a light to me, I'm a lady
Got my mind made up
Got my mind made up"

Video has tour/live photos from Diplo and Santogold shows.

That's right, while y'all were nappin' and snackin' I became a French astronaut.

My June (brief highlights)

Some brief highlights. If I went into details, this post could take up pages.

My June

Saw Mindless Self Indulgence in concert! 4 hour show!

Began dating the most amazing woman. Now seeing her nearly 5 days a week.

Lost 15 pounds in roughly a month! I think I've gained most back because dating means dining out a lot.

Tested my alcohol tolerance a few times and did not get a hangover even once.

Started being able to dream again. Dreams are so awesome!

Many dinners at many interesting a new restaurants. In June I don't think I've been to a restaurant that I'd ever been to before.

Bought a bicycle! Rode a bicycle!

Tomorrow I'll be on a rafting trip in the mountainous wilderness with co-workers and previously-mentioned woman, and I'm sure I will love it all.

My goal was to have June be the best month in recent memory. I think it has been.

Eight directions at once.

I'm still around, and I'm sure that I will have a lot of news in a few weeks, but right now I'd just like to let you know that the new Lil Wayne album is some fire, and that things are going well. Have a happy June if I don't post anything other than videos until the end of the month.

In the meantime,
My Facebook profile.
My Flickr page so you can keep up to date with what I'm taking photos of.

Fiona Apple - Paper Bag (video)

I love just about anything with dance routines. Another in a series of videos that I really enjoy. "A fail to kiss is a fail to cope"

And the kids as prototypical (and stereotypical) boys-in-men's-bodies, oh God, so good!

I share 'em so you'll better understand the different paths my mind takes.
