I'm diving in...

To classics! I'm going to start reading a lot more classics. I used to get a bunch of them back when I made the used book sale at my public library a priority. But now I've decided to read some of the classics! What's on my plate now? The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. I don't know what's next...we'll just have to see!

Through a Mirror

Why do you look at my outer
beauty before you look at my inner?
Is this what society has come to?

You see my face shining
through a mirror and
suddenly you know me.

Do you see the hurt?
Or the fragile pieces that are
easily broken; the pieces that I'm made up of?
All you see is a face.
There is more to me than what can be seen.

$$$$$$

So, I want a camera. Yes, I already have one. Surprisingly it still works, but you can literally see inside of it on different parts of it because the cracks show the inside. I've had it about 4 years now and I want a camera that's really good at taking pictures. So, I stumbled across this one recently...It's the Nikon D3000. The cheapest I've seen it is $456 online. The average cost for it is around $499. But I'm serious about this camera! I just applied somewhere for a job, so we'll see how that goes. My current job doesn't give me enough hours..or joy for that matter. So I'm trying to find ways of making money besides just a job. I'd like to have this money within a month, which is unlikely. But we'll see if things work out! Wish me luck!

Life is Beautiful

I have a secret obsession and I would like to go public about it. I see the world differently. I see the world as that of a photographer would see it. I want to be a photographer. Always have. I would love to work at Disney World in the entertainment department, but it that doesn't work, photography is my second hope. I love it. I'm getting a new camera soon. How soon? I'm not quite sure yet. But it's coming. I may post pictures I take on my blog but I'm not sure about that yet.

Something seems...different

I feel as if I see the world through a different set of eyes than I used to. In the last year, I've made a lot of mistakes. Now I'm finally getting where I need to be with God again. I've noticed recently that things seem different. Things that I used to be blinded from or not really notice, seem evident to me now. For example, I used to love MTV and VH1...until now. Everything on those channels is just so fake and unrealistic. And the channels are about one thing...sex. Why didn't I ever see it before?

Well anyway, I'm ranting again. I just needed to vent a little bit. Am I crazy for thinking all of this? If I am, then I'm sure there's some other crazy people out there too.
