Time Flies By

and it kind of sucks. at least for me. i'm like, *where'd the time go*. i mean reallywhat happens to it? why does it seem like the days are long when you are younger? is it because you haven't gotten out into the *real* world, to work on a daily basis, to be restrained behind deadlines and time delays? i know i couldn't go without work for long periods. i was itching during my layoff, because i am a person who needs outside assistance. o i am motivated for certain things. but i get off track quite easily. i need guidelines i suppose. or an outline. i'm in the World's Worst Procrastinor club (because let's face it, every procrastinator thinks they are the world's worst). so if i have a deadline, i'm fine, usually i wait til the last minute to do whatever, but it gets done by the deadline. i am ok with a *guideline* so to speak, give me an outline only of something that needs to be done, what you want, etc, then i will work it my way to get it done like that. or for vacations, i can't just *lounge around*. i burn to a crisp and see no sense in *laying out* at the beach or something. i like active vacations, where there are things to do, see etc. granted don't get me wrong i like the down time. but i will not be able to spend an entire week laying out on a beach. even when i well USED to go out on the town, i don't like just *hanging out* at clubs or bars. i can't stand the idea of being a piece of meat in those places. i like to go to listen to good music *i used to be a groupie aaaaaaah*, or to shoot pool, or darts, or to go to a comedy club. or to dance. although there aren't too many around here. when i first came down to georgia i was so excited because i thought there would be all these country dance halls. *BUZZER SOUND* nope, very few if you want to call them that. and they are a million miles away from me. there's cowboys very near me, but it seems to be going downhill since wild bills has been around. that one is just too far. i used to go to dive bars, but i won't do that alone.

so for my future vacation, i'd like to go on a safari, but that might be out of reach seeing as i'm going to be a student here soon. i'd like to take an alaskan cruise (there again *cha-ching*). but i might just end up at a national park and hanging out for a few days, or go to florida for *swamp walk*. it's with a photographer who has been compared with Ansel Adams, whose work i simply love. and having one of MY photographs being compared to one of Ansel's is really an honor, even though it was just by a congresswoman at the georgia capital!

and on that note, i'm off to photograph my work for my attempt at receiving a portfolio scholarship!
