Sure it's year end and we should all be doing something meaningful.... yet, here I sit editing some work in front the tube - House.
So this guy gets in an accident right, and it may be fatal, has a brain aneurysm (term, proof of too much House) or some such shenanigan - 30% attention. Now this girl he used to date, some 11, ELEVEN years ago shows up - but apparently they're on the Force together so somewhat still in touch - well Missy shows up with, "You have a son. I was pregnant when we broke up." I MEAN WHAT DA HECK!? REALLY? Now? You think he needs the added headache? :/ Then she saying oh, she know he didn't want to have kids blah blah... but please just say 'Hi' to him... WHAT DA HELL!? What shorta bloody jacked up logic is that??? The nerve of woman. PSH!
Now I HAVE to blog after this, cause really, can I end the year ranting on House. I Can.

It was christmas and all...
Sitting with my cuz shoulder-surfing who says I should rename this blog because people will think I'm stupid... 14, and said with such revere I spluttered my lukewarm coffee. and reminded him to not tell people we we're related.
Went 'Home For Christmas' but my aunt didn't fall for it. Once she figured out I had a wedding to shoot in Siparia - minutes away, instead of hours away if I stayed in the city - she decided that this didn't count as a visit and so I'm due a return visit. a real visit. But ahh, oh the childhood memories that rushed in, un-welcomed and un-beckoned, mostly. It really was a whirlwind weekend.
Wedding shoot in Siparia for 2PM home and nest then up to meet baby sis in Point, drop her 'home' then shoot up the highway for a 12Noon wedding shoot starting in La Horquetta, to Malabar, to La Joya then to drop the videographer back to La Horquetta. And stop in to fondle Johnny's new D7000 after 10Pm. To Chaguanas to sleep it off because His house is way quieter than mine.
The differences in the weddings, Siparia and La Joya were my biggest delights for the weekend.
What did I get for Christmas? A new frame of mind
The result: I'm sick and forced to confront the cliche 'been run over by a bus'. yet.

Desiderata... since I was 14
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself to others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the the world is full of trickery. But let not this blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all it's sham drudgery and broken dreams; it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

oh merry christmas to you too!
the closer christmas comes the gloomier I get. I can't even avoid it, it's like the onset of parang and evergreens in the malls triggers depression... this 'snowballs' into the 25th then I'm left fighting my damnest to shake it before December 30th comes around.
On the upside I've got loads of work going on and only remember to be depressive when I'm hungry, ducking work or checking folks BBM statuses. I've got wedding shoots on the the 26th and 27th and haven't figured out exactly where I'll be hiding out on December twenty frigging fifth. Thought I'd take a solo drive to the beach but I hear it's pretty crowded... sighs. Oh but the foods! Smiles

Heard in the City
Week before Christmas, and I was still looking for that Christmas Spirit, not sure what I'd do if I did find it... Decided to take public transport to my drop off in the city. Memorable though the entire evening was, the overheard exchanges were best. My fav:
Girl across street screams to guy on other side
Dirt! Where Yellows?
He gone tuh check Zippers?
Thought Zippers by Rat?
Nah Rat come back in.
So who picking up Yellows bags 'cause I ready to go?
Call Sharpie nah, he up by Moose booth
...my nickname's 'Bunny", so lackluster

Oh Flick
Just remember I joined Flickr. Again. Pretty sure I've lost my password and forfeited my account. again.
Otherwise, I've just finished editing the Wedding of December 4th. Relived the... harsh memories. some people eh... While I sang to myself "I've finished all my work, I can go out and play" I don't have a DVD to burn it on. I'm trying a vast re-write my DVD movies project, else I guess I have to go open up my laptop and burn on spot at some low traffic PC store tomorrow. Now, now we head to the Avenue to find the 2-4-1 dives.
Note to Self: don't get Shakers disgusting Wings. Here's one of the better people at the Wedding

I was way off with this one
Yesterday a 'friend' who I haven't seen for a couple days... OK so I've been avoiding him for a couple days, messages that he's left something on my stoop. that's step. As I get in, measuredly excited - I suspect people who say they hate surprises, lie. I would like to say the same, and mean it. But I can't. Who, having shook the can totally upside down, would not be pleasantly surprised to find one had rolled way back on a lower shelf? Or who, expecting a B would not arch a well plucked eyebrow at a B+ on their C paper? I digress.
So I'm thinking, is it a Tee, maybe I'm gonna get my Levis... ooooh a book? That would be nice. I drive in, observe the parcel has a rectangular look, so maybe it's cereal. I smile to myself, he's such a dork. smile. because cereal Is just the sort of non committal childish pleasures this 'relationship' hinges on and, if I'm to admit, maybe Levis from him, I'm not ready for that level of commitment.
Bells go off at the first sighting of clear shiny gift paper. Fears are confirmed by the soft cushy bulk: he got me a teddy. And cards and chocolates. We're so over.
