day 1

So, I'm trying this new thing of adding pictures to my blogs (not that I haven't before) because I think they make blogs more interesting, & it'll give me the chance to use my camera for something other than collecting dust (even though it's in its camera bag, but you guys know what I mean).

Anyways, as most of you have read in my previous blogs (or if you haven't), I'm running the Susan G. Komen 5k marathon this Saturday, Oct. 18th.  It's been a little over a week since I last ran, so all of this week until the day of the Marathon I'll be running/training to build my endurance up once again.  I actually ran either 2.5 or 3 miles at Mount Trashmore not too long ago & I didn't feel too out of shape.  I ran almost nonstop until my iPod started acting up on me (probably because it kept bouncing up & down in my fanny pack).  I think I'll do fine come Saturday.

Yesterday I attended the Look Alive Project event at the Granby Theater.  I actually submitted 300 copies of my postcard to be put into giveaway totes, which I didn't get.  I was a little disappointed because it wasn't thoroughly planned out as I thought it'd be (shoot, the website didn't explain too well what it was about either), but seeing the different art & photography there was interesting.

This is totally random, but I've been listening to MGMT's Electric Feel (one of my favorite MGMT songs) on repeat for almost an hour now & for the first 30 minutes I didn't mind it, but the last 30 minutes I blocked it out from my hearing because I was concentrating on writing this blog out.  Now that I'm listening to it again I never thought I'd get sick of this song, but now I'm getting annoyed of it... next!

To keep myself busy, I've come up with little projects for myself to keep up with my creative flow.  My mare, Ronalyn, wanted me to create a logo for her.  This is what I've come up with so far (to your left).  We both agreed on the second & forth one (going from left to right).  Now all I'll need to do is figure out the color scheme & tada!  The next project I'm working on is a drawing/design for a friend.  I can't post too much about it right now, though, because it's supposed to be a surprise.  Once it's finished & I've given it to my friend I'll post it up.  I'm not sure how I'll execute it, though, because my scanner doesn't work on my printer, so if I wanna draw something up & upload it unto my laptop I might have to be ghetto & take a picture of it instead.  Sigh, I need a new processor, possibly another battery, & now a new printer/scanner/copier all in one for my laptop.  Rawr, I wish I was a gazillionaire already!

I've been feeling nostalgic lately & came across some pictures of the past (ah, the days when I was skinny-er, flawless, & happier).  I'll be posting some of these pictures throughout the next couple of weeks, months, or however long it'll take until my nostalgic journey ends.  We'll now begin with this:

Circa December 2002 at the tennis court parking lot of Salem High School. A bunch of friends & I were meeting up for a gathering & came across this dead bird with a fish in its mouth. Maybe the fish was poisonous, or maybe the bird choked on the fish. Oh well, whatever the cause of death was it'll always remain a mystery to this day.
