Want a completely legitimate excuse to drink on a Tuesday night?
About a month ago a friend of mine from highschool, Tony Kommes (very sweet lil guy), was struck by a train while on foot. The good news is, he not only survived, but he is making incredible progress in his recovery. The bad news is, he's still in the hospital, and his medical bills are going to be out of control.
Tony worked at the downtown Minneapolis Drink, and his friends and coworkers have put together a benefit for him at Drink's Uptown location tomorrow, Tuesday March 27 at 7pm. There will be a silent auction to raise money, and I believe proceeds from "beverage sales" will go to Tony as well. You can find more info at www.caringbridge.org/visit/tonykommes
So if you were planning on going out drinking tomorrow night anyways, why not go to a place where your money will not only get you drunk but will also benefit a good cause.
Just an idea :) |

I'm single again. It's a positive thing, and was a very mutual decision. He is my best friend. We still feel love for eachother and that will never change.
This decision has not effected my plans of relocating.
Life is good.
More later. |

| Yowza! Dreams from last night... |
[Jan. 18th, 2007|10:28 am] |
The first thing I recall was taking shower with another women. Very cute blonde girl, nice body etc. We wanted to test out a new sex toy. The sex toy was this strange heart shaped sponge that you take out of its case and hold on your back until you orgasm. So I stood behind this unknown girl, her hands were up against the shower wall and I just held this sponge between her shoulder blades until she came. Weird.
Next thing I remember...being in this yard with a rundown school bus/old house and miscellaneous junk. In the schoolbus was someone that didn't want to get out and leave or go wherever it is that everyone else was going. So this superman type of character, the type that makes everything better, came into the bus and made something very strange happen. There were all siting around and soon were enveloped by this huge air balloon type thing, only it had these wings that kept going round and round inside, like the balloon was going to take flight. It was made up of greens, reds, yellows, blues...very circus tent like. The balloon was soon full and the wings kept going faster and faster. At which time we were able to float around inside, as if we were flying. There was no gravity whatsoever. Just a few of us kids doing backflips and spins, getting dizzier and dizzer the faster the ballon went, until it left the ground.
Soon I was in a different dream all together. This was a very hellish, nightmaresque dream. I believe we were in actually in hell, but it was this rundown old town with bums littering the streets, which I didnt see until I creeped up from the subway. I remember there being a man in charge, and how he could make people evaporate, so everyone ran the second they knew he was coming. One particular scene I recall is being in a friends house. I was downstairs and it was a very nice home, very cozy. The parents were there, along with a brother. There was a set of stairs in front of me with a door right at the top. I walked up the stairs and opened the door only to find the bedroom engulfed in flames. There was a girl inside and she was still alive, she appeared from within the flames, most of her flesh gone, and half of her skeletal structure visible. Yet she was still alive. She pounced towards me, said something, then dissappeared back into the flames. I have no recollection as to what was said.
I also recall being on a gravel road. There was an old farm and shed nearby. Someone (I believe it was my thereapist) was with me and we notice a dog hiding around the corner of the shed. She goes to see what it is doing and tries to coax it to come out and play. The next thing we know it is running at as, barking and growling, wanting to attack us. This dog looked exactly like the winner of the ugliest dog competition a couple years back. Very ugly and demonic. At some point we escaped the dog and there were now three other present with us. We approached the dog again, even though I had said it was goign to attack and to be very cautious. To my surprise the dog had changed. It was now white and fluffy, and jumped into the arms of another girl I was with and was very affectionate. There was more, but I feel like I have written enough.
These dreams definately leave me with something to interpret. |

| Things are looking up on the career front... |
[Jan. 15th, 2007|10:05 am] |
I picked up Mondays at Cave Vin so I can now quit King n' I completely.
My final classes start this week. Lighting II, Portrait and Media business. I plan to take full advantage of this last semester and push myself as much as I can.
Assisted Tony Nelson the other day. We shot a couple of hottie mn rollergirls. Pics turned out pretty rad! I will also be assisting him on the 27th shooting rollergirls again and possibly the Justin Timberlake/Pink concert as well, not that he really needs an assistant for either, but it will still be fun to tag along.
Just finished my interview with Jake Armour. He seems like a cool guy. I think he likes me and he really seems to like my drive and the fact that I know exactly where I want to go and what I want to do with this career. I interview very well :)
Things look hopeful that I have the internship in the bag. I need to call him the first week of February and set up a meet and greet sort of a day to meet up with everyone and see if my personality is a good fit...of course it will be!
His internship has become fairly competitive which means he has had to become more selective of who he allows into his internship program. Another reason why I would feel very grateful to obtain it.
One thing I like about his program is that I will learn all aspects of the business from the lighting and photo side of the business to the paper trail side of the business. Towards the end of the internship I will also be given assignments by Jake himself and will come out of the program with some kickass new pieces to add to my portfolio. And the timing will be perfect! I think this internship will fully prepare me for the move to something bigger and it will end around the same time I plan to move. How perfect is that?

I have officially started the search for someone to live with when I move out to LA this spring/summer. Kara has expressed interest, which totally excites me!
I have an idea for a coffeetable photo book that I would like to work on this spring, and someday get published.
I called west photo and am going to bring in my lenses and upgrade to new ones. I am very unhappy with my macro lately.
I am looking to sell my cinema display and macbook pro, and upgrade to a new macbook pro (more memory, faster processor, larger hard drive).
I have my spring semester classes set in stone. And since I refuse to take the portrait class because of the instructor, I am planning on taking a class at SMC next fall, which will also be beneficial in meeting new people.
Yoga has been fantastic! I am getting far better at balancing on my bad ankle, and at pushing myself in general. I walk out of there feeling so light and so clear headed, I love it!
I have an interview with Jake Armour on Monday, for a possible internship.
I will be sending a cover letter to Lauren Greenfield in hopes of obtaining an internship with her when I make it out to LA.
And finally, Andy has agreed to help me put together an online portfolio of my work, something I have been wanting to accomplish for a very long time. I am so excited, and grateful that he is willing to take time out of his busy schedule to help me :) |

Maddie is now at an age where she can actually talk to me on the phone. I love calling home and hearing her little voice in the background saying she wants to talk to aunti. So adorable! I love her so much :)
You know what else I love...I love Josh. Things are so great between us at the moment, and I am so happy about that. We definately hit some speed bumps, but that will come with any relationship no matter how amazing that relationship is. He is doing fabulous in LA...getting a lot of work, meeting some great people, figuring himself out...and I am so very proud of him :)
Something has changed in the way I view our relationship, in a good way of course. I am confident calling him my boyfriend, even though in the past, attaching that label completely scared me away. Josh was right, when I was in LA, I think I was indeed pushing him away, without even realizing I was doing it. I'm working on figuring out why exactly I have a tendancy to do that, because it has definately been a pattern throughout my life, a pattern that needs to come to a halt. I'm just glad I have grown past that as far as our relationship is concerned. I dont want to push him away, I want to put an end to my old ways and finally accept the fact that another man actually loves me and wants to be with me. Thats all I have ever wanted, to be in a meaningful relationship...well I have found just that, and for once I am not going to allow myself screw it up.
Life is good. I feel as though I finally have clarity and direction in my life, and I truly know what I want
...and I haven't even been to therapy yet :) |
