In the near future, I hope to have a few things crossed off my good 'ol to do list:
- Update the blog look (started a few pieces already)
- Post more frequently
- Outline my house experience- buying, remodeling, etc bringing up to present
- Throw in some current-ish events
- Spice up some old posts (better/more pictures, more content)
- Get photography site up and running
- Work on an Etsy store
- Promote and gain followers
- Complete my volunteer photographer efforts for a Cancer benefit (more details to come)
- Take a blogging class
- Mentor a photographer and/or attend seminars or workshops
And since no post is complete without pictures, I leave you with these:

thought a poem by Bukowski seems appropriate.
ReplyDeletenobody but you
nobody can save you but
yourself.
you will be put again and again
into nearly impossible
situations.
they will attempt again and again
through subterfuge, guise and
force
to make you submit, quite and/or die quietly
inside.
nobody can save you but
yourself
and it will be easy enough to fail
so very easily
but don't, don't, don't.
just watch them.
listen to them.
do you want to be like that?
a faceless, mindless, heartless
being?
do you want to experience
death before death?
nobody can save you but
yourself
and you're worth saving.
it's a war not easily won
but if anything is worth winning then
this is it.
think about it.
think about saving your self.
your spiritual self.
your gut self.
your singing magical self and
your beautiful self.
save it.
don't join the dead-in-spirit.
maintain your self
with humor and grace
and finally
if necessary
wager your life as you struggle,
dam the odds, damn
the price.
only you can save your
self.
do it! do it!
then you'll know exactly what
I am talking about.
Very interesting poem. The part about humor and grace is very fitting. Saving oneself from corporate world is the price to pay.
