Just the fading fucking reminder of who I used to be.
Got a free moment to catch my breath and reflect a little bit...
I came to a bit of a revelation tonight. Karmically speaking, I think I've moved into a good place emotionally. I feel as though I don't owe anyone anything. No apologies, no explanations, nothing.
...and by the same token...
I feel as though no one really owes me anything, and if they do, I'm willing to forget and forgive any karmic-type debts and move forward with my life.

I'm working more with my new-ish camera, experimenting with PASM, especially shutter speeds, ISO settings, and exposure times. My goal is to get better acquainted with astrophotography. I spend most of my awake time at night, so I'm attempting to adjust my photographic pursuits to accomodate it.
I picked up on a new tripod to replace one that broke on me a little while back. I got a good deal on a Kodak from Amazon.Com. Ten bucks, believe me, I'm not complaining. With delaying shutter speeds, it's crucial to have a steady base to work from.
I can finally afford a Canon Digital Rebel XTi, but I'm gonna hold off on buying it for a little bit. I'm gonna wait on my income tax return, so I can get some wicked accessories to go with it. Photography is becoming more of a passion for me, and I want to mess around with some more serious equipment.

I dunno...
I'm kind o' tired. As I've written in previous posts, I've been working some extreme hours. It's beginning to pay off, as I've also mentioned, but it's really taking a physical and emotional toll on me.
A little over a week ago...
I was shaving before work. I have a battery-powered razor. I finished touching up my beard and threw the razor in a drawer in my bathroom - without turning it off, and spent the next half hour trying to figure out what the constant drilling noise coming from the bathroom was. I thought the fan in the ceiling shorted out, or something. I was cutting power to the bathroom from the electrical box and everything trying to get it to stop. I had to leave for work. When I got back home later that same evening, I went to shave again to get ready to go out, the battery was dead, and I realized what happened.
Funny? I dunno, maybe...
To me, it's just a sign of how burned out I'm getting working all these hours. I'm not as young as I used to be, and I'm feeling much older than I am.
I feel as though I work every day (technically, I sometimes do), and every day is beginning to feel like the same day happening over and over...
By the way, I've put my myspace profile back up. If we were friends before, and you'd like to be friends again, just send me an add request.

Your picture of the moon is wonderful. What a beautiful sight this last full moon was. I laid in my bed, and there she was beaming as bright as it could right thru my window.
