Gold Watch
When I was younger in high school, I remember not being able to draw a perfect shaped heart. Lop sided on either side. Slightly curved too far inward. My hands cramped every time as if drawing a heart meant love hurts. For a while, I stopped trying. I didn’t feel it was necessary to draw a perfect heart anyway. That shit wasn’t going to pay the bills. There was no such thing as a...

Bologna
We exchanged valentines day gifts today. I swear we always do this shit. Neither of us can ever wait until the day we’re supposed to give them. It makes me laugh every time because i know it’s coming and every time I say to myself “ok, this time I’m going to wait… I’m not going to say shit, this is going to be a surprise”. Anyway, she bought me this Gucci...
8am writing class freewrite #3
Some positive things people say about me are only perceptions of how others view me, themselves. No one knows me as I know myself. The things they say may be true but they’re only guessing. I’m an open book with ripped out pages and scribbled out chapters. I never want anyone to get a full, front-to-back cover, read on who I am. Once they ready it, it’s either captivating to them and they’ll want...

This is fun
The people I used to think “damn, they’re great photographers” aren’t so great anymore. They’re still good but after being back in school and learning different things, I’m dissecting others’ images like my professor would. It’s crazy because everything people in my classes (including myself) get critiqued on, I’m starting to see in these...

Like mother, like daughter
No girl wants to hear she looks like her mother. Unless her mom is hot/very attractive, then she won’t take to kindly to you saying “damn, you look just like your mom”. After the baby years, the only people that should say she looks like her mom are relatives and old friends of her parents. You saying it, is basically saying she looks old. Just saying

Man...
In my morning writing class and this girl behind me, is airing out someone elses personal business. I don’t understand how people think it’s alright to talk about someone else who isn’t around. Unless it’s positive, you’re giving them a bad name and making other people judge them prior to meeting them if they were to ever cross paths. For someone to have the...

Full time everything
Between being a full time student at The Art Institute, working full time, being in a relationship, and going to the gym/ having a personal trainer, there’s literally no time for anything other than snapping photos, homework and taking care of errands
Rule #378: Know how to cook
You need to know how to cook a quality meal. Do you know how much your stock goes down if you can’t cook? Male or female, it doesn’t matter… Get in the kitchen and start practicing. Doesn’t even have to be fancy. Throw a salmon in the oven (45 minutes), make a nice little side dish, have a good drink to go with it and end it with a simple dessert. Know how to cook

Mid day
I hate when people just stop by randomly with no warning or notice. “I was just in the neighborhood”, no, go back to your neighborhood. Unless you’re a supermodel, that shit is unacceptable. Makes me want to move and not tell anyone the address

Early morning
Fuck you. I hate you but I love you. We used to have the best love. Now, it’s ex love. Is it really hatred or is it just a temporary mask over what I’m truley feeling? Either when I think or speak of you…us, I use every word in past tense…. As in…. I loved you too

Aesthetic
It’s not always about looks. It’s definitely a plus. You have to look at it as, for example, a chicken dinner. The looks being the perfectly cooked chicken. You spend all your time getting ready for it just because you saw a picture of how good it looks but when you sit down and get ready to bite into it, it’s dry as hell. No substance, no flavor, doesn’t fall off of the...

Cookies n cream
Take those name brand clothes off. Be a Supreme queen. What are those names on the tags of your clothes doing for you? Probably nothing, except for attracting those good for nothin’ men you claim to be sick of but are the only ones you give the time of day to. You work hard, you play harder. Your heart hurts, you go shopping. Buying name brand clothes again. Hoping it heals the pain your...

Snow = more shooting
I’m hoping it snows heavy tonight/tomorrow so I can take my camera(s) out and just explore on foot. I mean, yea, I could do regardless but it’s more fun when it’s snowing. Better images to me
Noticed
Everything in life is either revolved around relationships or money. Think about it. Name one thing or time when someone isn’t thinking about a relationship and or money. Somehow, minds drift into one of those two things
Check
When you finally find someone to be with that treats you right and makes you happy, always make sure to thank his/her exes and all the dumb people that passed them up
It's a great feeling walking out of a class that...

"I'm sorry, I didn't see you"
I’m sorry, I didn’t see you standing there in the crowd full of people. Blending in with the rest of society that looks the same. From your face to the way you dress look similar to the rest of the people surrounding you. When you open your mouth, your voice harmonizes perfectly. Therefore I can’t hear your voice over the billions of voices speaking at the same time. I had no idea you were stuck...

More business
Why are people always concerned with what others are doing? Going out of their way to find out what someone, who isn’t their child, is up to. What’s so hard about worrying about yourself and finishing what you have to do. “Oh, well what is he/she working on?” what does it matter what someone else is working on if you’re stuff isn’t getting done. The occasional...

A big thank you...
To a few individuals who have changed my life (mentally). I’ve had at least one teacher in each form of education (elementary, middle school, high school, college) change how I learned or how I approached going about my business.
Elementary School: Eugene Wright- 5th grade advanced math teacher. Looking back on it, he’s probably the reason why I hate doing paperwork in school. He...
"Grown up business"
There’s a reason why “adults” tell kids to stay out of “grown folks/up” business. It’s not because it’s something kids can’t handle. It’s pretty much because they don’t want you to see that they’re acting like kids themselves. Only difference is they use bigger, more explicit words. You hardly hear (or at least I don’t) people...
Hitch
I love this movie. One of my favorite movies. Something about it draws me in. The humor and slight truth to it. Plus Eve Mendes is in it. I can watch this over and over
