“You can try the best you can, The best you can is good enough.” – Radiohead, Optimistic It came down to me and one other kid. There we are, standing along the sidelines in our gym uniforms, awaiting our fate. One of us was going to get selected, and the other was going to be [...]
What Am I Doing? [1.17]
The week has finally arrived. It’s been months in the making and I’ve been laboring on this for what feels like an eternity. I’m currently appeasing the tradition I’ve established for flying since turning 21, which is obviously my alcoholic beverage consumption that allows me to better deal with the crying babies and selfish assholes [...]
Episode 1 – James Campbell
The waiting is over! The unveiling is here! Lookie what I made (with the help of James Campbell)!
What Am I Doing? [1.3]
Is it just me, or does 2012 feel a lot like 2011? Maybe it’s too soon to tell, or maybe it’s my cynical nature, but it’s hard to notice a significant difference. There’s so much promise and hope that things will be better when a new year comes, but nothing is guaranteed and so much [...]
I Still Don’t Believe In New Year’s Resolutions, But If I Did…
Yesterday, I teased you all about what my resolutions would be for 2012 after showcasing how I failed so horribly at last year’s list like a Washington, DC sports franchise. While I didn’t do so bad with the professional goals, my personal goals were left in the dust. As a result, the list I made [...]
New Year’s Resolutions? I Did One Of Those???
It should come as no surprise, but I completely forgot all about New Year’s Resolutions. I mean, I did sort of warn you all in Internetland that I thought New Year’s Resolutions are stupid – hell, it was the first line of the post I did a year ago. However, to entertain all of you [...]
Blah.
In a word: ugh. My dedication to writing gets completely lost amongst the continuous busyness that is my life at the moment, and with holiday shopping abound, the idea to even sit in front of a computer and type something out makes me feel nauseous. How do all these busy bodies do it?! I’m chugging [...]
What Am I Doing? [11.21]
Just when I think, for once, I’m going to have a slow, peaceful week to play catch up, BOOM! A truly fantastic and inspirational opportunity comes my way, and I’m left blissfully wondering how I got to be so lucky.
A Historic Instant (For Me) at InstantDC
It was pretty surreal. There I was, standing in front of the black pegboard amongst the eighteen prints and amongst them, my photo. Across the room was another one of my photos, which I mockingly named “Retro Ball of Warm, Healing Light” just to chuckle when I listened to people discussing it. I wondered if [...]
What Am I Doing? [9.30]
It’s funny how quickly we can develop routines. Wake up, shower, brush teeth, get dressed, grab a morning coffee at the local coffee house, head to work. But therein lies an interesting point: why is grabbing a coffee somewhere a part of our routine these days? When did THAT happen? Why do we do the [...]
Main Offender
So, here’s the thing: I never get offended. Ever. I’m laid back about a lot of subjects and don’t take myself seriously at all. I’ll joke about my ethnicity, poke fun at other stereotypes, and lightheartedly tease people about anything and everything.
What Am I Doing? [8.22]
There are some things in life more important than making money and making money and making money. As much as I love working and can be a bit of a workaholic, I also know full well how to enjoy my free time and spend it with the people I care about all proper dopper like. [...]
What Am I Doing? [8.9]
I’m not quite sure how to put this, but I’m going to try my best to explain this anyway, so bear with me.
What Am I Doing? [6.27]
Is it possible to be too happy to write a blog post? Because that definitely was the reason why I only had three blog posts halfway written and never completed. I blame it on being happy. God damn happiness.
What Am I Doing? [6.20]
“I still haven’t gotten used to it,” I told my friend as she and I were walking around Washington, DC, and sipping on our coffees. “After a year and a half from quitting my job in the food business, I am still not used to calling myself a ‘photographer’.” One morning, I walked into a [...]
What Am I Doing? [5.31] Post-Memorial Day Special
I consider a successful Memorial Day weekend one where, despite my culinary degree, I am not asked to cook. We can determine that Memorial Day Extravaganza 2011 was very successful It’s not to say that I won’t utilize my culinary abilities when asked, but after dealing with years of going to restaurants and being asked [...]
What Am I Doing? [5.24]
In a word, I am exhausted. While the week I just experienced was amazing, and I met truly wonderful people whom I hope I will run into again in the future, and I saw more amazing feats of courage than words could explain, I am exhausted. Never working less than twelve hours a day, sleeping [...]
Happy Birthday, Mom! (And I Blame You For Everything)
I completely blame my mother. Honestly, it’s her fault for a lot of things in my life and the way I am. You could blame Zodiac signs, the alignment of the stars and planets, the city I was born in – as well as the one I was raised in, but you’d be wrong. The [...]
What Am I Doing? [5.16]
It’s deja vu all over again. I’m practically in the same seat as I was this time two weeks ago, trying to get ahead on blog posts in preparation for a busy week, and people watching like it’s my job. The sightseeing this go around isn’t as entertaining, since people are weak sauce and focused [...]
