thankful for…

i am really thankful for some people in my life that tell me the truth and don’t lie to me to make me feel better. when i ask questions or look for advice they give me honest answers and not what they think i want to hear and i really appreciate that. friends like that are hard to come by and i have quite a few that do that. so thank you for that. i think most of them know who they are, but here is a list in no particular order, lance, megan, kat and my brother. i’m sure there are more of you, but over the past couple of weeks you guys especially.

having people like that in your life makes is so much easier to grow and become a better person.

camera update

well i dropped my camera off at this crazy camera repair shop downtown grand rapids. problem is he’s super busy and hoped he could get to it next week. if it’s going to be longer than a week i will probably pick up a new camera. i just can’t not have a camera, it’s who i am. *shrugs* i do have a temporary camera though, i’ll take a photo of it later. it’s circa 1999 i think and it super old school, but it’s a camera so it’ll have to do. i thought about putting up a donation link to help repair my camera, but decided to wait until i see how much it is, maybe i’ll get lucky and it won’t be to much to fix.

i also came across a bunch of photos that were on a memory card from september 9th. whitney, kevin and i went to our friend michaels wedding and i forgot that i brought my little camera, whitney also took a couple other photos with it that i had forgot about so i’ll try and get those up later.

as for what else i’ve been up to the past couple of days…well… i spent most of yesterday afternoon just hanging out with whitney which was a ton of fun, i even get some good photos before my camera got worse. i’ll post those tonight. after that i ended up renting “the breakup” against the advice of some friends. wtf was i thinking, it was not good at all. i definitely should have listened when they told me it was bad. oh well…

today i got up, dropped my camera off at the repair place, helped my brother with his car and now i’m probably going to take a nap before working on some homework. i don’t want to work on it (when do i ever), but i have so much that it won’t all get done tomorrow.

right now though i really need a nap. i haven’t even done much today, but i just feel drained. i had planned on going out tonight, but that’s out because i need to save my money for the camera repair bill. looks like it’ll be a night of watching movies and editing photos…fun right? want to join and hang out? get ahold of me.

and it finally happened…

my nikon d70 broke… it got dropped from about 18 inches onto the ground the other day and it’s been getting worse ever since. looks like this photographer is going to be cameraless for while which is awesome considering i have my final photography assignment due in less than one month. 🙁

sad day…
