I was planning on updating this sometime next week when I MOVE AGAIN. But now there is time so update it is.
First of all, I'm moving. Next week. I don't know whether it was just my roommate(house owner) being sketchy or if we really HAVE to move (what people won't do for parking in New York), either way it was/is a huge inconvenience BUT we found a great place. Wood floors, high ceilings, pet friendly. It's an (affordable) dream. The building used to be an old glorious hotel and there are still little mom and pop stores all within walking distance. AND a privately owned movie theatre a block away. I'll have my home with my boyfriend and a floppy haired guitar tech named Kyle. But they tour more than 8 months a year basically so it will just be me and whatever little furry creature I decide to adopt. And maybe a fish and/or plant. So here's to moving only ONCE in 2007.
I got my second promotion and now I am a millionaire. Or I guess a thousandaire, rather. Whatever the correct title is, it will allow me to live much more comfortably I'm hoping. Not that I wasn't comfortable before, but come on, now I'm a thousandaire. I'm still having a quarter life crisis it's just taken a much more mild appearance. I still need to get a website and do more photography. Yes. It's a necessity.
I shot Ant and Nicole's wedding, it turned out awesome and I'm taking in everything to be printed this week. With all the other craziness going on tomorrow is really the first day I can actually sit down and concentrate on editing. I shot the photo for Rolling Stone. I did a Draven add for AP. And soon I will have a whole new crazy vintage building to photograph once I move.
OH! And I bought a 24" iMac to view all of this editing on. It's bigger than the television sitting next to it. I can video chat with Julie and her head is bigger than mine when it's on full screen mode! And when I'm being ULTRA lazy, I videochat with Tanya who is less than a full flight of steps away on the first floor of the house. ..BUT IT'S VIDEO CHATTING. Get with 2007, amateurs.
Now that I have my very own iPod I now realize the beauty of shuffle. Thanks to Billy for all the music I've always loved but never in mp3 form.
Onto other realizations and epiphanies (not including amateurs in 2007 and video chatting):
I've been working on bettering myself and lightening the load of others baggage. I'm not saying I've cut ropes loose, I'm just saying in the process of trying to figure out how to make my time in New York easier and more enjoyable/productive I haven't been able to deal with bullshit, for lack of a better word. I can only tell someone how THEY'RE ruining their own life, not EVERYONE ELSE, so many times. I think the move might have a huge impact on my attitude towards everything. But for now, the only words of advice I can offer are quit out sourcing the blame of your own defaults.

And last but not least:
Nick and I have reunited with childhood smiles and yelling with Monday Night RAW every week and whenever we can during the week other wrestling extravaganzas such as ECW. We're also working on expanding on biography style wrestling dvd's. The latest buys are The Hulk Hogan Anthology and The Self Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior. We bought the "McMahon" one, but I think the ebay bad man jipped us because we payed for it long over 5-10 business days in UPS Ground form ago. Bummer.
