Friday Five 017: Things I...

1. 
   ...have realized.
   (1) Expectations suck. Its a draining process to expect things of yourself and others and to have the same thrust on you, so I'm going to work on minimizing expectations and work on ... say, goals.  (2) I really abhor texting. When did this become an ok form of communication? Things to note: I would SO ( Read more... )

Friday Five 016: Whether the weather...

1. Rain or shine?
   Depending on the location and time and mood, sometimes rain isn't all bad. But come on, it's shine!
   
   
2. Whether you're alone or with people, you always think...
   about myself, as narcissistic as that sounds. I wish I could explain it better but it's usually myself in relation to other things -- my life ( Read more... )

I know, I know. I'm late. I couldn't think of any questions! Here is a composite of randomness.

Friday Five 015: A composite of randomness.

2. What are you currently wearing?
   This absurdly amazing patterned sweater jacket, olive v-neck short sleeve, men's ( Read more... )

   It's really not as bad for you as people say (as long as you don't down it like water) and it could ( Read more... )

Friday Five 013: Picture (whore?)

1. Are you always taking pictures? No matter who, what, when or where?
   Generally, yes. I feel like I've been slacking though.
   
   
2. Are you a develop-er or a store-er?
   A little bit of both. I usually develop pictures of friends and family more than scenery.
   
   
3. Are you an artsy-fartsy photographer?
   Mmm, not really. I like to pretend ( Read more... )

If I were still going to be a broadcast journalist, my dream job would be for BBC News or CNN International. However, because the BBC News website rocks so many more socks than the just-about nonexistent CNN International website, I am going to wrote a love (lust?) letter to BBC.

Dear BBC News,

How do I lust for thee, let me count the ways. You ( Read more... )

Friday Five 012: Questions about life

1. Do you believe in reincarnation?
   Mmm, I think so. Vaguely.
   
   
2. Fate or destiny?
   I believe in both. Who wants to leave everything to chance? And, who wants to believe its all predetermined and there is no chance?
   
   
3. Thoughts on the afterlife?
   I hope there is one just because the idea of it all going black like the Sopranos ( Read more... )
