life as i see it

tis the season for talking smack with friends in the local barber shop

The kid and I hadn't been to Disneyland in a long time so we took half the day off work and school to go enjoy ourselves. It was a fun time.

What a gorgeous day it turned out to be for our visit to Disneyland! it rained for part of the morning but cleared up nicely by noon! We had a lot of fun looking at all the wonderful decorations. I liked how the fluffy clouds made the sky look so happy behind the Mickey Fun Wheel!

Oh what fun it was seeing these masks in Disneyland today! I felt like I had been taken to New Orleans! I wonder where Disneyland gets their masks? Who makes them? I would love to do a photo essay about a mask making factory...

Disneyland with the kid was so much fun today! I went to go take pictures of the festive decorations. I think the ones in New Orleans Square were my favorites. All of the colorful masks and balconies decorated so cheerfully made the place feel magical.

had a fun time shooting my favorite model again.
i like shooting her because she's so easy-going and loves to laugh and be silly. she also has all the good ideas!

The business of being a teenager in today's world of instant gratification, excessive opportunity and clout among the advertising world is taken for granted by those who live the life.

Sometimes the days flow so smoothly

Lately it's taken all I have to control this impulse I have of just running away from all of the stress in my life instead of meeting it head-on and dealing with it. I wish I could afford a vacation...just a few days away from it all...I wish I could afford a lot of things. Sometimes I think about all I have done and not done and wonder if this is it...will this be all there is now for me? So I encourage my son to not be like me. Go out and explore. Don't get stuck in life and not be able to do things you dream of. Why did I waste time?

I've been wondering a lot about friends. I had made some new friends and we had some rocky moments, now, it's like I don't even exist in their world anymore. I reach out to communicate and all I get is silence. I can take a hint.
Grow up.
