So check this out.
I got an email from picture.com Remember when that photo of cooper got chosen for publication...? Well these people keep sending me shit via email. I got one a week ago and they were trying to sell me this pin.  Fuck all that. I thought they were corperate bastards trying to scam people. but... i got this new email. heres how the first part goes.  Dear Kirk, I am pleased to inform you of your nomination as Amateur Photographer of the Year for 2007 and to personally invite you to share the story behind your photographs and your photography at the most prestigious gathering of professional and amateur photographers ever assembled-- The International Society of Photographers Annual Convention and Symposium, held in Las Vegas, Nevada, March 22-25, 2007. You will also be honored with two separate and very special awards for your photographic achievement. In front of fellow photographers from around the world, amidst the applause from the audience, you will be formally presented with your Outstanding Achievement in Photography Crystal Award Trophy. The Award is a magnificent work of art in itself ($300.00 value), made from imported lead crystal ( see it here). It is hand-engraved and mounted on a solid marble base. This will be the first time ever that we have bestowed these crystal awards. This impressive crystal award is so valuable that we have designed a special carrying case just for you to take it home. And Kirk . . . there's much more . . . heres that trophy thing...  So....what does this all mean. This all seems so fake. But what if it isn't... I know I'm not going to win, but seriously... Anyone wanna go to Vegas? Haha. Current Music: sigur ros |

just when everything felt right
something big will go wrong. after close to 10 months you feel like you really know someone. but there is always something you dont know. i can only ask why... and i will only get im sorry. im stressed out... and once again i realize i can only trust two things. my skateboard and my camera i want to add one more to the list.

why do i even bother
I hate this thing. For some reason i still check lj once a week. it seems so high school to check lj or myspace. i feel embarressed. (i cant spell) which brings me to my new point. i feel like i am slowly growing dumb. maybe im just happy... .....no probly just dumb. So here's my life in a nut shell. i hate school. i hate financial problems. i hate elections. i hate dumb cunts. (who whore them selves out to miserable piles of shit like myself) Even if i chose the wrong decision that night, i think i would of felt bad for that drunk broad because she should of aimed higher. I am joe's downward spiraling self-esteem. I am joe's aching limbs. I am joe's wining pile of depressed shit.(which reaks of cigarette smoke) I just want her to be happy. To be happy with me. To be happy with us. And i hope she is. i truly do. i love you kayleen. Im going to go figure out how to fix my life. (im sorry for those who listen to my bitching and have it much worse than me.)

Yuck Fou
Life sure is strange. Im reading a book right now that has warped my general perception of everything. And im starting to believe in this shit as if it were some kind of truth. Ive become very skeptical of things and almost paranoid. I think im going to start living my life differently because this "dimension" is so temporary. As soon as i get some real amount of money in my pocket, im going to start buying clothes to appear a certain way. My reasoning is to see what it's like to walk in some one else's shoes. Also, i think im going to start a t-shirt company. But its going to be losely based and have disturbing messages on them. Im considering calling it Yuck Fou. One more thing. I was at Kroger yesterday filling up a gallon of water. There was a middle aged woman with a child who was filling a larger container with water. I started filling mine and i found that once i turned my spout on, it slowed hers down. So i apologized and turned mine off. She said "no go ahead im in no hurry." But she continued and said "That was very considerate of you. You know if there were more people like you, the world would be a much more pleasant place." I kind of froze up but thanked her for the kind words. Strange how one little conversation between strangers can make you feel more optimistic about your life. hmm. Current Music: clinton video |
