“I thought it was a prank.  I was only twenty years old.  It was the first time we’d ever had sex.  We discussed ending the pregnancy but I begged her to consider keeping it.  Both of our families were supportive.  I promised that I would provide. And once we decided to keep the child, I started earning money however I could.  I learned to print t-shirts and do graphic design.  I sold my phone to buy a camera.  My mother even took out a loan to help me buy it.  There was no photography school in this country, so I had to learn everything myself.  I took so many pictures of my daughter growing up.  My mother would sit for lighting practice.  I watched YouTube videos.  I watched every single class on Creative Live.  Finally I got good enough that someone hired me to take pictures of their party.  Then I moved on to weddings and corporate events.  Now my dream is to become a documentary photographer.  There are so many stories to tell in this country, but very few outlets will publish them.  That hasn’t stopped me though.  I’ve photographed a slaughterhouse with horrible conditions.  I’ve interviewed World War II veterans across the country.  Last year I spent three days documenting a ‘women-only’ village in Kenya.  Nobody would publish the work so I paid for the trip with my savings.  My wife has been so supportive.  She helps me edit the photos.  One day I’m hoping to sell my stories to international media.  And if I’m able to establish myself, I’d like to begin my own photography school in Ghana.”   (Accra, Ghana)

I drink to make other people more interesting

Ernest Hemingway (via intramuralmartydom)

When you get overwhelmed and lose your center,

and all the Taoism in the universe doesn’t seem to calm your soul,

and reenergize …. then !

Then drinking helps!

Connected to your thoughts

Here’s to doing something fruitful with your hands while listening to 900+ songs and not hitting the fast forward on your iPhone. My mind is free to associate and review and wander while forcing my decrepit body to move hard. The final product is not mine but a sense of accomplishment like no other.

“Don’t look at me in that tone of voice.”  ― Dorothy Parker

[adviceunused]

In youth, it was a way I had, To do my best to please. And change, with every passing lad To suit his theories. But now I know the things I know And do the things I do, And if you do not like me so, To hell, my love, with you.

― Dorothy Parker, The Complete Poems of Dorothy Parker (via adviceunused)

1. What is this character’s name? 2. How old is this person? 3. What does this person look like? 4. Who is this person? 5. Where is this scene taking place? 6. What year/season/day is it? 7. Who is this character interacting with? 8. What is the narrator’s relation to the other characters? 9. What is the character trying to accomplish in this scene? 10. Why should I care about any of this?

Whom ever told you Revenge was not worth your energy wasn’t seeing it from this perspective. So to all of those that took the higher road, then I hope your day in the sun looks a sweet as mine or better. Revenge really is good.

Genetics joke

Well truth be told, I have struggled to fall asleep every night for years. Last night was no different, and somewhere an hour into what should have been deep sleep, I had to get up and write this down. I thought it was funny at the time. You judge …

(Remember I just moved from San Diego to Ottawa - and sigh yes, I know, biggest mistake of my life but that’s another story)

I used to be “XYZee”

Now I’m “XYZed”

But really, I’m only just XX
