everything and everyone can fuck off.

yea.

I have the need, and want, to start something new and close the doors temporarily on past projects. I started multiple things almost all at once and was interrupted, more than twice. I couldn't catch up. And you know what? It is what it is. I'm not upset or even disappointed.

I'll be keeping these projects on hold and that's ok. In the meantime, I'll enjoy finding myself again. My search for another internet home has begun, as I am domain hunting. This will always be here, no matter wherever else I am (issuez.net). I just need something fresh for my photography and other art. I am constantly changing.

And my mind has been drifting a lot lately.. it's a little cluttered, and I need some time.

Yeah

Drifting on the spaceway
By the Betelgeuse Hotel
Mapping out constellations
Of the place I know so well

Sifting through the system
For the piece that knows my name
Endlessly I listen
In the master game

Welcome to my world
(Welcome to my world)
Welcome to my only world
(Welcome to my only world)

It is full of space junk
But your words are coming through
I'm riding on the space junk
And it's bringing me to you
Bringing me to you

Through the tenth dimension
To the certainties beyond
Dreamily in attention
And the sub-atomic bomb

Machine that spins within me
And the spirit that drives me on
Searching for an answer

Welcome to my world
(Welcome to my world)
Welcome to my only world
(Welcome to my only world)

My head is full of space junk
But your words are getting through
I'm riding on the space junk
And it's bringing me to you
Bringing me to you, yeah
It's bringing me to you, yeah, yeah oh

Sitting on the space junk
What am I to do?
I'm riding on the space junk
And it's bringing me to you

My head is full of space junk
But your words are getting through
I'm riding on the space junk
And it's bringing me to you
It's bringing me to you
It's bringing me to you
It's bringing me to you

Space Junk by Wang Chung '97

some favorite instagram shots from the summer :)

I went through and got rid of/made private, almost every entry until about a year before I found out I was pregnant. And I still might go through those and delete/privatize, I just need a little more time.

It's ok to cleanse and refresh. Everything was so cluttered and disorganized. (In my brain, right) Since I am refreshing all of my websites and whatnot, I decided just to go ahead and do it on livejournal, also. Even though, no one really uses it anymore.

Update on my life? You can read about it in status updates on facebook or twitter. @issuez - for both.

After I get my websites and blogs back in order, I will start back here with xposts again. Until then, I'll read my friends journal updates... well, when you make them. Sometime. If ever.

awesome timing

Happy New Year!

and Festivus for the rest of us.

Maddox Reed - Coming soon.





I am 24 weeks along right now with the belly to prove it.


(these were taken @ 20 weeks)

So excited..

yea so it's been awhile.

while super busy starting my photog business in january, i got pregnant.

lol.

Update?!

Mike.
It's been a little over 3 months since my husband broke his femur & had surgery. All is going well with his physical therapy sessions. His Doctor also told him on Monday that he no longer needs his knee brace.. AND, that when he feels comfortable, he can start walking on it. He still has a little ways to go before he starts walking, but he's been getting around with only 1 crutch pretty well. (I can't wait to go get him a pimp cane.) His road rash has left nasty magenta scars all over his lower leg and all [but one] of his surgical incisions are healed. The only thing we're watching now is one of the 17 screws used to put his femur back together has backed out a heads worth. Otherwise, I am so happy that he's healed so well and that I do not have to change bandages, at all, anymore. The Doc said I did better work than most of his nurses and that made me feel awesome, even if he was blowing smoke.

Me.
I'm usually pretty busy taking care of everything but myself lately.. which is wrong for me to do. Slowly, I am working in time for myself and now I'm trying to add friends back in my life. Not that I lost any, but I know it's time for me to start socializing normally again. I know, freak accidents and bad luck - you cannot plan for. But I've been taking the time to photograph more things, as photography IS my form of therapy. I have many creative ideas for near future shoots and have been trying to get back into the swing of things. It seems the past few years, I'm always on some sort of hiatus - from photography, life... Maybe it's just an excuse and I need to build more confidence within myself. Yea, quite possibly.

Everything else.
As soon as Mike is better again, we're getting snowshoes.. FOR WINTER TREKKINGS IN THE MOUNTAINS. Excited. And I'm excited for snowmobiling also. We didn't even get to ride them last year.. so this year, I AM READY. I'm ready for things to be white below and blue above. I'm ready for frozen snot and scarves and BEANIES. OH HOW I LOVE MY BEANIES. I'm ready for winter photography and hot chocolate from the gas station around the corner. I'm ready for sushi trips to Estes Park when everyone else (newbs and tourists) think the mountains close in the winter so there's no traffic. I'm ready and it will be here soon.

Big plans in motion for next year... granted we've had to hold off on a few big plans this year because of the accident, but we'll be back on track very soon. Just gotta... HOLDDDD ON FOR ONE MORE DAY, YEA. HOLD ONNNNNNNNNN FOR ONE MORE DAY, THINGS WILL GO YOUR WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY. Hold on for one more day. Yes, I really did just sing that. Thanks H&K.
