Stupid Hurts

Part of the way into composing this entry I realized that I was [tag]bleeding[/tag] from the index finger of both hands. Not that this is bad, just makes typing a little weird .

So this week has been amazing for me. It is Wednesday and I have been into: a [tag]stem[/tag] cell research lab, a museum, a [tag]NICU[/tag], and the [tag]Birmingham[/tag] news. A lot of my free time has been spent starting out the windows of the various high rise buildings around town enjoying the [tag]skyline[/tag].

As I walked into the news office this morning, the stark black and white colors enclosed me completely and took me back to the last time I was in that lobby. It was a few years ago and I was trying to pitch myself as a freelance [tag]photographer[/tag]. I got turned down then.

That same feeling of defeat followed me into the office today. My chest got a little tight as entered the production floor. I looked around the floor in mute awe at the people bent over their desk furiously working at getting tomorrows paper out, before getting to work on my own assigned task.

Part of the way through said task I got a [tag]text[/tag] message from a girl that I am absolutely enamored with. Unfortunately it left me a little distracted and a few minutes later I got a reminder that [tag]Stupid[/tag] Hurts as I ran a drill bit through my index finger. Remember kids pay attention when using [tag]power[/tag] tools!!

So after two weeks, I finally got my Ibook back. I found out why it took so long. Originally it was just a video card issue, but while they had it they decided to install a new keyboard a new screen a new top and several other parts, I think my track pad is new to. Unfortunately in all this newness they found it necessary to wipe my hard drive. 1100 pictures GONE!. Oh well I am all about new beginnings and starting over, now just to figure out where I can come up on a copy of Photoshop for the cheap.

Also my buddy Don has won the Wizard 15th annual costume contest. This really wasn’t a shock he won last year as well. His costume? a 11+ foot tall Megatron and Optimus Prime. Since is moving soon the Megatron has actually gone up for sale on Ebay.

and since I have my computer expect recent pics to hit my gallery soon
