Random Acts of Kindness are too Random

There is nothing better than getting online or watching the news and hearing about someone being kind to another for no reason other than it's the right thing to do. It makes me feel that maybe there is hope for the human race.  Buying the persons food behind you at the drive-thru, helping a stranger by giving them extra gas in their car at the station, taking water to a crew of construction workers that you see out in the hot sun.... there are a million things that people can do to join this movement of kindness and I would give nothing more then to see more of it.  Maybe the media doesn't cover it because they suck and only want to show bad news.  I hope that anyone who reads this, really thinks about how easy it would be to share an act of kindness.  Do it, spread it, keep it going.  It shouldn't be random acts of kindness, it should be daily acts of kindness.  Do one thing everyday for someone else, no matter how small you think it is, it may mean the world to them, you don't know what there life is like, what their struggle is, they could have a shitty life and you made it better by one simple gesture.  Come on world, let's make a difference.

Transformers 4 Sucks

I have been a fan of the Transformer's since I was a little girl so of course when the movies started coming out, I was super stoked. 1 through 3 was amazing, I loved the storyline, the special effects were bad ass and the cast was perfect. The cute little dorky guy just got hotter as the movies came along and Megan Fox.... it's fucking Megan Fox, she is a beautiful woman and a good actress.  Fast forward to Transformers 4: Age of Extinction and I was very upset, fuck it, I was pissed off.  Where was my cute guy, where the hell did Megan Fox go?  Who the fuck did the casting?  Mark Wahlburg, are you serious? Then the icing on the shit cake is a damn blonde bitch that no one knows instead of Megan Fox.  Who the hell is Nicole Peltz?  Exactly.  I tried to give it a chance and watch it but it's not the same and never will be. I couldn't take it serious that Mark Wahlburg was that chicks dad, it wasn't realistic at all.  When it first saw the previews, I thought she was his girlfriend so it was creepy to watch after thinking that. I was very disappointed and sad.  No more Bumble Bee for me.  :(

Mary Kay Preyed on me when I was Weak.

I love makeup, I love girly things, and thanks to Mary Kay Incorporated, I now know that I am a little naive still.  I didn't think that I was, I thought I was a strong woman who was educated enough and street smart enough to not be misled. I was so wrong, I am still questioning how they got me involved in their bullshit, crappy, overpriced facial products.
I was a customer of Mary Kay in the beginning, I really liked the lotions and foundations.  They are fair priced and last long enough for me to justify spending the extra money.  I will buy over the counter shit now, they lost my business with they tried to steal my soul.  They preyed on the weakness of me just losing my job, they promised me help if I couldn't fill orders, they offered me comfort and friendship and it was all lies.  No one helped me do a damn thing but fail, big time.  I am a good salesperson, I always have been but you have got to be dumb to spend twenty dollars on a tiny tube of lipstick. It wasn't even just that, they promised help and the only help I got was telling me to basically stand around Wal-Mart or other stores and beg for business. If you are going to buy Mary Kay, just do so online and cut out these overbearing crazy women just trying to get a car.

Photography has Always been my Calling, my Passion, my First Love.

Since I was a little girl, I absolutely loved photography, I was amazed by it, curious about it, thought about it all the time, dreamed about it making me famous and oh my hell, I took so many pictures that I probably cost my mom a small fortune in film and development. We never had much money growing up so I didn't have the nicest camera or the best camera but I didn't care, it never once made me feel inferior to someone with a couple thousand dollar set-up.  I knew I had the eye and in the end, that's all that really matters. From my first Polaroid, to my latest camera...  nothing fancy but it gets the job done.
I took a photography class in high school and learned all the cool tricks you can do with an old manual camera, I learned about the rule of thirds which I break on a regular basis, I learned what interested me and I ignored the other stuff, such is life. ;)
I am now in my thirties and just starting to get noticed for my photography.  I am not complaining, better late than never, happy dance and everything.  It feels so good to do something that you love and possibly have a chance to make a little money at the same time.  It's the American dream that I have never believed in coming back around to smack me in the face and I couldn't be happier.  Lesson here is to never give up on your dreams, no matter what.  I love freezing moments in time, it's just kinda my thing.... ;)
Now for people to see my work and want it in their home, that is the true test of making it to me.... when one of my photographs hangs on the wall of a family home and makes them smile when they see it, that's the feeling I want.
