Really I Want to Just Stop

I've decided, I'm done.

Every month since the new season of Fabulous Sin City Roller Girls started I have been their bout (once again a “bout” means game) official Tweeter.  So since September my fingers fly and my eyes flash across the track trying to capture all the news and spread it via the social network world.  It has been hard and fun.  However we all know that my true heart lies in photography with a side love for social media.  The contact I have in the team always tells me that same thing.  They know where I stand with the photo world and will let me do either.  SO grateful am I. :-)  

For the November bout I once again was the official tweeter, but on top of it I also did photography of the crowds and backstage happenings.  It’s not always a thing that most people want to capture.  They mainly focus on the track and the plays, I specialize in the crowds and volunteers.  Anyways to see those images you can go to my photography business site.  I would like to use this post to focus on one particular image from that night.  While I was about the crowds I caught a lady out of the corner of my eye.  Not in the dating way but style wise.  She was totally in her zone and styling.  My ultimate goal is fashion photography in the forms of shooting runway shows or magazine spreads.  There is something about those images that bring joy into the viewers eyes and dreams.  It totally takes them out of their current situation and into fantasy, I WANT IN.  Here is the lady I am speaking about. 

She looks like a modern day Chrissie Hynde.  Now here comes my request and dream.  I want to photograph her, as I am always wanting to update my portfolio.  If any of you readers know this women, I am suspecting she is from Vegas, please help me get into contact.  I will take you to dinner, and I hear the Cheesecake Factory is amazing so I’ll take you there.  (I’ve never been there.)

I Beat First and Ask Questions Later, Sometimes

Ok I am about to loose it.  I have a very important blog post to post here.  However Blogger keeps telling me that I can't post the photo I need to include in the post.  It says some mumbo jumbo about me needing "license rights."  Ok first off I own my own photo's that I take for my own business.  I have been reading the message boards but there are NO answers.  I am so frustrated that I am about to go Madea on this blogger and then switch over to Wordpress.

The post I need to post with attached photo is a huge thing and needs to be seen by y'all.  So if you know how to fix this problem let me know ASAP!!!

Generally Covers Suck

All you readers out there should know by now that Gaga holds a dear place in my creative mind. I'm not generally impressed by the remakes and other renditions of her music. In fact they are just fluff I think. HOWEVER in my last post I introduced you to the talented vocals of Lisse. Low and behold I ran into this video as well. Brilliant!

Videography - BRILLIANT (I am mezmerized by the way the video was shot. My guess is that it was shot with the Cannon 5D Mark II. Just a guess)

Bad Romance cover - BRILLIANT

View and listen for your ears. They need this!

Now you may go and try to download this song in iTunes but I will tell you that you can not. It's only offered on the UK iTunes store and not USA iTunes. But if you use your mind like I did you can find it somewhere and own it as well. ;-)

Lissie - Everywhere I Go

This has been a year of musical discovery for me. I have an addiction to music, as my credit card account with iTunes would vouch. Either way I found this gem of a lady. Here is an acoustic version of Lissie and her song, 'Everywhere I Go.' She is on her tour in Europe right now but mark my words, in 2011 I will see her live. Even if I have to take a road trip. Anyone want to join?

In Preparation

In preparation to be a zombie one must scoop mud off the side of the road and gather sagebrush. Next gather liquid latex and blood purchased from your local supermarkets. Take a cheese grater and run it over your clothing. I recommend not grating your hands as a trip to the ER will hinder the events of the night. Unless you can go a few hours without a doctor visit, then by all means your way more authentic and deserve a pile of jello-molded brains.

For an even better effect consult Lady Gaga for the maker of the meat dress, any scraps they may have will help in construction of stench.

Happy stumbles ghouls!

Last night we had a rockin rain storm bust it's way through St. George. I'm not talking cat's and dog's rain, I'm talking small children from 3rd world countries were dropping on our lands. It was insane! Not to mention the lighting that came with it was amazing. I have NEVER seen lightning completely surround and entire town. I mean it was ALL around, usually it stays in a central area but not last night.

Anyways.

I was called by my Elders Quorum President as I was leaving work to show up for a meeting. I agreed, even though I am still having a hard time with this ward. Upon my drive there I found a parking spot right up front of the institute building, which was nice as I didn't have to run in the rain very far and look like a wet llama. The meeting was interesting and I left. Upon returning to my car I sat there and spoke to a friend on the phone right there in my car not leaving my parking spot. A few minutes into my conversation I watched two guys walk up to different sides of the car next to me. Obviously they belonged to it. I'll have you know what took place next SHOCKS me!!!

I was parked in my lane and not in any other lane. So I was perfectly legal in my parking. I'm there talking to my friend and all of a sudden the guy getting into his drives seat opens his door and lets it swing right into my passenger door and then proceeds to leave it that way and out his backpack in his back seat door!!!! You read it right. This kid ALLOWED HIS DOOR TO SMACK INTO MY DOOR!!!!!!!! I was shocked. My mouth dropped and I told my friend Nicole to hold a moment. I proceeded to lean over and roll down the passenger window and say, " Really!? You just did that?"

Yeah he just looked at me and got into his car and said nothing!!!!! NOT ONE WORD!!!! You know just a sorry is all I would like. BUT NOTHING!!!! So I explained the ordeal to Nicole and stared the guy down. I decided before it happened again by this guy I would back out and move. So I did, however I also memorized and wrote his plates down that way I can leave him a nice note next time I see that car about proper manners in times like that. I may even check out Emily Post to see if there is a rule on situations like said event.

I forgive the dude totally as upon inspection today there is no mark left from his Maroon Buick.

On a side note to make last night worse I really wanted Annie's Shells and White Cheddar Mac n' Cheese with hot dogs cut into it (totally against my healthier eating habits). Yeah what is it that whenever I want turkey franks they are NEVER on sale, but when I don't even need them they are dirt cheap? Really??

On a happy note it's almost Halloween and I can't wait! Two days of events to be two different things! (more on this later)
