Weekend Rain and Blurry Photos

-
So the Balloon festival got rained out, which totally sucks because I was really looking forward to it. We did head down there around 7:30 on Friday and I got two semi-crappy pictures. It was dark and rainy so they turned out pretty blurry. The first on is of a hot air balloon I snapped just as they were deflating it. It was neat to see. They go down FAST!! Within a minute it was down on the ground and this group of people was rolling it up. The second one I thought was TOTAL crap when I saw it on my camera however; when I got it on screen I decided it had a really eerie feeling to it. I liked it. I think it would be VERY cool if I could take the shadows out. It was really a fluke that I just captured the two girls because there were like 50 kids running around in the light on that hill. Just don’t look too long at either one, might make you nauseated.

    Oh see I don't know! I thinkt he shadows add to the eeriness. There's just something surreal about it. I think anything that is 'vaguely human' can be scary. It's not QUITE right and when you get that effect then it makes a person take a step back. I thikn the picture is great! There are so many things it could be. Spirits of children who died in a flood...People about to be abducted...People RETURNED from an abduction who aren't quite right. someone watching? Beckoning? So much! @_@ GREAT shots!

Lost Girl

Lost girl protects what is precious to her Can you say the same for yourself sir Hidden pockets of misery and divine Islands of hope if only they could shine Lost girl pushes away heartfelt love Not deserved, bloodied and shoved Unexplainable expectations she's given A heart not beating, held broken, riven Lost girl bites back urges to cry A scream past parted lips, only a sigh Shaking inside, flying apart, unraveling Logic and reason, following, traveling Lost girl can't tread water any longer Deep breath, under, float, stronger Leave behind all that exists here Keep it safe, hidden from fear Lost girl wants to turn back, embrace Behind closed eyes, only her face Accept what's been said and done Move forwards, towards the rising sun

Losing Money

That's what my bosses are doing today. They make us work on Memorial Day and then question why we aren't busy. But hey, why should I care? I'm getting paid to sit here and read. It's just that sometimes I can't help feeling I'm stuck in a Saturday detention. Doesn't help that half of the employees called in 'sick' today. Maybe I'm just jealous and bitter. I did have a wonderful weekend though! We went to the lake on Saturday and couldn't have asked for better weather. Had a BBQ, soaked up some sun, went home and slept. I watched Trainspotting while I unpacked some more boxes. It was disturbing to say the least and the baby, TRAUMATIZING. Johnny Lee Miller is absolutely adorable though. On Sunday we went to the theater and saw Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End . I was a little 'iffy' about it because I had read it was over 2 1/2 hours long. The second one wasn't very good in my opinion, but I decided to give this one a ...

So this is INCREDIBLY rambly...just had to get some things out! Life is.... interesting I feel..... everything One moment I feel very adult-like. I have responsibilities, a career (even if it's one I don't like). I have bills to pay and I'm budgeting my money. I make wise choices and investments. I help people with their problems and I am a shoulder to cry on. I fix things and I'm in complete control. I know how the world works and I feel comfortable with that. In between this breath and the next I'm on my ass. Things aren't like that at all. Am I just fooling myself? Is it a coping mechanism for us because we are so programed to think that way? Do we really believe we have to be in control of everything? The world is constantly changing, like the ocean. We are constantly changing. I have a childlike desire to see and experience everything. Good or bad, it doesn't matter. I want to feel pain, extreme pain along with happiness and complete joy, e...
