Sooo I'm sitting here..and my cat walks past. Somethings wrong..I see something on the middle of his back...
Its a turd. HOW THE FUCK DOES A TURD GET ON THE MIDDLE OF A CATS BACK? No, he doesnt roll in his littler box, and only uses the bathroom in it.
The cat is now pissed at me, as he got a bath as a result. |

Today...I did one of the top things Ive wanted to do with my life...
I planted and started my own personal flower garden. Its small and just starting out - but it should go far. Im going to cultivate my own lavanfer and build it up to the point where in a few years I can build a slate rock flower bed of nothing but lavender :) . If all goes well, Ill use the lavander I grow for all natural organic gifts such as soaps, oils, and even just beloved dried lavander.
I love live flowers. |

Detroit is quiet corrupt - we've known it for sometime that it's corruption is from the top down. It's nice to see that FINALLY the feds are stepping in and getting things clean up...or trying to at least.

Detroit mayor charged with perjury
DETROIT - Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, a one-time rising star and Detroit’s youngest elected leader, was charged Monday with perjury and other counts after sexually explicit text messages contradicted his sworn denials of an affair with a top aide. Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy also charged the popular yet polarizing 37-year-old mayor with obstruction of justice and misconduct in office. Kilpatrick, who was to be arraigned Tuesday afternoon, could face up to 15 years in prison and be expelled from office if convicted. “Some have suggested that the issues in this case are personal or private,” Worthy said. “Our investigation has clearly shown that public dollars were used, people’s lives were ruined, the justice system severely mocked and the public trust trampled on. ... This case is about as far from being a private matter as one can get.”

| FEMA holds fake press conference about fires |
[Oct. 26th, 2007|09:17 pm] |
WASHINGTON - The White House scolded the Federal Emergency Management Agency on Friday for staging a phony news conference about assistance to victims of wildfires in southern California.
The agency — much maligned for its sluggish response to Hurricane Katrina over two years ago — arranged to have FEMA employees play the part of independent reporters Tuesday and ask questions of Vice Adm. Harvey E. Johnson, the agency’s deputy director.
The questions were predictably soft and gratuitous....

[Jan. 26th, 2007|03:37 pm] |
I have a job interview Monday for being an events planner and coordinator! I hope it goes well.
One of my friends of High School called and let me know he is being sent to live in Japan by the air Force - I sooo need that job so I can save up and visit him and japan! Talk about a great excuse to travel the world, and a chance to do so at a slight discount!
As soon as this weather has passed and things are more friendly, I'm going back to shooting: I'm looking at classical themes and styles. |

This is kind of a rant, it’s not geared towards anyone specifically or to be mean. I'm just letting off some steam about some serious unprofessional I encountered. Please read this all the way through before commenting
Okay, earlier this week I contacted a photographer who’s style I really liked. This photographer isn’t published in any major magazines, nor do they really seem to be known - however they have a nice style and he could go far.
My first warning was that his online presence seems very unprofessional. He types in all capital letters, uses internet speak, does not spell check, etc. Almost all professionals online understand the power of presence, and make the small effort to at least look like an adult when typing out their online resume - not this guy. Regardless I over looked the resume, for the art - I can mentally see a beautiful photo with the style that I think would be stunning.....so I commit myself to contacting this photographer.
Among the jumbled netspeak resume is that he charges models to shoot. In my experience as long as the shoot is worth a photographers time, they are willing to do tfp. With the ideal I had, I felt that I could take the risk and ask for a tfp. Some photographers take the tfp, others just say “no thanks, I just am too busy/booked/not interested/etc”, regardless the exchange is always respectful and mature.
Also to be blunt - modeling in my area does not pay enough for models here to be hiring photographers: Sad, but its true. We are more like an open artists community where everyone works together at some point in time. Its rare for a photographer to hire a model here, much less a model hire a photographer. The money in our industry in our area simply isnt there.
So - I contact asking if he would be interested in a tfp. I do not believe that models should pay photographers unless the model were to be buying the excusive rights for something like a personal pay site (and other commercial projects where the model is being paid), or if the photographer really will not benefit from adding the models style/presence to their portfolio. Tfp to me, is a great way for photographers to experiment with new styles and learn...then apply what they have learned towards paying clients.
So this guy responded. To start it off...he demanded that I pay for a TEST fashion shoot with him. We have a short exchange where he says he likes my look, but I need to read his online resume (all typed out in all caps, lots of netspeak, and bad grammer). The long story short is...... he ends up attacking and insulting me, and point blank stating because he had a fire that damaged all his gear he has to charge all models (um, what about...insurance? If he had a studio he had to legally have insurance upon the location - the same with a home. I know my law, insurance on property is universal in the USA).
Here are his final words on the matter of us doing a tfp shoot - keep in mind I was not asking for him to pay for a makeup artist, a stylist, to travel to me, no nudity in our shoot, or even pay for a location or clothing - I just asked for a tfp fashion shoot...here are his final words on me asking for a tfp shoot:
-------------
"THAT MITE WRK WITH "MM" PHTGRPHRS WHO WNT 2 SHOOT NUDES ETC.
U THNK I SEEM LIKE THAT?
NOT ME, NOT REAL SHOOTRS, NOT PROS. I HAD A FIRE, LOST ALL,
U SEEM LIKE AN ARTIST . BEST COMPLIMNT AN ARTIST CAN GIV 2 ANOTHR, PLEASE DON'T GET AN AMETURE SPOILED MODEL POINT OF VIEW THAT ONLY THE WEB WOULD GIV"
--------------
Yea, wow. Professional.
I just landed a nice higher paying job and actually reconsidered paying for him - but after such a statement over something as simple as request a tfp shoot, why would I want to? |

I made these into .gif animations - they obviously are a part of other movies and stuff so not all the credit goes to me. Have fun, save to your comp because these will be deleted from their photobucket account in a month or so :)
