Day 684 of 365 More.

You know, sometimes I think I’m losing my mind. No particular reason. At least not one that I can put my finger on. I only realized tonight when my face started itching that I haven’t shaved all week. It’s 2:30am and I’m up and not really doing anything just because I can’t sleep. That’s nothing new really. I never sleep. I’ve mentioned that before. But usually I utilize that time working on something creative. The comic, pictures. Something. But I got the comic posted hours ago, and I just don’t have the mental energy to work on any thing.

So instead I’m sitting up and watching the World Trade Center movie, when i should be going to bed so I can go to work tomorrow.

Pretty sure I’m losing my mind.

Yep. Pretty sure.

Day 667 of 365 More.

So here’s something a little different. I took this picture today, but its actually representative of what I did on Friday. Today, I didn’t really do anything superinteresting. I shot the podcast with Stephen. worked on Hellcats, which will be up at midnight, and worked on cleaning my pool.

I wish I had done the pool a week ago. It’s been in the 90s here the last few days and it would have been really nice to jump in. But no dice. Another day or two of chemical balancing and it will be set though.

Anyway, nothing I felt like taking a picture of, so instead I thought I’d talk about one of my favorite activities. BARE-AOKE! I’ve mentioned it here before. It’s Karaoke, at a strip club! One of the best things ever. It’s just like Karaoke anywhere else, a bunch of drunken losers, standing on stage, belting out out of tune renditions of pop and rock songs, with no cohesive style between them, so even if someone is good, which they’re usually not, you’re left wondering why "My Way" was followed by "Baby Got Back". But, to make it more tolerable, at this club, there are naked ladies dancing around you while you sing. It’s the best thing ever. Even if you don’t like strip clubs. It’s just so ridiculous and surreal that you can’t help but love it. Plus the deejay, DJ Marty, is just awesome.

Friday they were celebrating one of my favorite strippers’, Pinky’s, birthday. So I ended up singing her favorite song of mine, Prince’s Darling Nikki to her while she danced for me. Actually everyone loves when I do Darling Nikki. It’s my best karaoke performance. I got a standing ovation, and won myself a couple free passes from the bartender/manager, just because she liked it.

So you know, if anyone wants to go sing in front of some strippers one of these Friday nights, I’m in.

Day 663 of 365 More.

Well, they worked their asses off in the last 90 seconds, but the Pens didn’t pull off the win in game six. The Stanley Cup is over. *sigh* Wake me up when it’s football season.

Anyway, about this pic. I don’t really want to explain too much because it would ruin tomorrow’s shot. I haven’t done anything really big for 365 in a while, but for this weeks 365 Days Podcast picture of the week mini-challenge, I came up with something that I was hoping would be fun for everyone, and I wanted to do it justice myself. The theme will be Collaborations, a chance to work with another 365 photographer. So I decided to go for broke on this one and do something really ambitious.

So ambitious that I can’t just throw it all together tomorrow.

So what you’re looking at is the planning stage. The storyboarding.

Have I picqued your interests yet? Good. Be sure to check back tomorrow.

Day 659 of 365 More.

Today was game 4 of the Stanley Cup. The Pens pulled out game 3 and this was their chance to tie it up. They even scored the first goal, and I was feeling good about it. All they had to do was win this one, and I was still in the running to win the office Stanley Cup pool.

That’s what I get for hoping.

*sigh*

Day 632 of 365 More. This will probably be one of those rants that I love doing that will probably piss a lot of people off, so before I get to that, I guess it would make sense if I got the other stuff out of the way. Saw Iron Man today. Even thought about…

Day 614 of 365 More. Oh god my head…. I have no idea what’s wrong with me. I started getting a headache during the middle of the day at work and its grown since then. I’ve taken a couple Aleve and I can function, but only barely. It was my intent to just take this…

Day 576 of 365 More. Today’s podcast was chaotic. Our original interview fell through, and since we only had Stephen’s very brief tutorial prepared, we didn’t really have much for a show. However, when we first started, we had talked about reviewing Blurb books at some point. Tapped for content, today became that point. I…

Day 508 of 365 More. And Happy New Year. I personally didn’t do very much today, so I don’t have much to talk about. I spent the day recovering from my new years hangover while working on photos and playing video games. Instead I’d like to use this space to welcome all the new 365ers…

Day 496 of 365 More. Got my car back and went to work. These last several days of not really sleeping are starting to catch up to me. I was ass tired all day. Hopefully I’ll get a good night’s sleep tonight because tomorrow I make my return to Baraoke! Tonight, was the beginning of…

Day 433 of 365 More. Halloween is coming. All my life Halloween has been my favorite holiday. My mom was always a big fan so growing up, we always made a big deal of it. Homemade costumes, free candy, a haunted house in our living room. In a lot of ways it was better than…

Day 402 of 365 More. Peanut butter and jelly. The food of the gods. PB&J was my favorite lunch growing up and continues to be my favorite late night snack today. Long day at work today, but I think I may be starting to settle in. I hope anyway. Did another tarot shoot when I…

Day 395 of 365 More. So today I made the decision to accept an offer from what I was calling company #2. I was holding out a bit for company #1 to see what their offer was, but they still weren’t ready to make me one yet, and I like company #2 better anyway, so…

Day 355 of 365 days. You load sixteen tons and what do you get? Another year older and deeper in debt. And a belly full of sushi. Today is my birthday. It was rather low-key compared to the festivities of this weekend but it was nice. Steph and several of my friends took me out…

Day 332 of 365 days. In the interest of closure, I must report that no asteroid the size of Texas struck the planet last night. Had a full day. Drove Steph to work so I could have her van for the day, then I went and talked to the mechanic about fixing my truck. Dunno…

Day 309 of 365 days. Slept in today. And by slept in, that means I got up at like 10. I really don’t sleep much. Anyway, spent the day doing some maintenance on my laptop (which is working a bunch better now) and working on pics some. Went to see the third Pirates of the…
