Reaction Paper: Nick Vedros

Where do I begin with my thoughts on events like this. I feel they are extremely helpful, and inspiring to hear how much they went through and still go through to achieve their goals.

When hearing everything they do and how much effort, time and dedication it takes to do so I feel quite overwhelmed.When people go into the photo world they should know that its crazy hectic and filled with other photographers who offer all the same things , its your own nitch or difference or repetative signature that makes it your own. One thing is clear to me though, you must be serious about photography, and love what you do, or else you will never succeed. At parts of the lecture/event I found it to be alittle dragged on. I thought there would be a lot more question answers then there was. I also felt like it was longer than many people anticipated. I had to leave early because a family members loved one was in a car accident, so I spent part of the night in the ER, wishing it ended alittle bit earlier than it did because me and my cousin missed out on most of the questions and answer.

"Sober"

And I don't know
This could break my heart or save me
Nothing's real
Until you let go completely
So here I go with all my thoughts I've been saving
So here I go with all my fears weighing on me

Three months and I'm still sober
Picked all my weeds but kept the flowers
But I know it's never really over

And I don't know
I could crash and burn but maybe
At the end of this road I might catch a glimpse of me
So I won't worry about my timing, I want to get it right
No comparing, second guessing, no not this time

Three months and I'm still breathing
Been a long road since those hands I left my tears in but I know
It's never really over, no

Wake up

Three months and I'm still standing here
Three months and I'm getting better yeah
Three months and I still am

Three months and it's still harder now
Three months I've been living here without you now
Three months yeah, three months

Three months and I'm still breathing
Three months and I still remember it
Three months and I wake up

Three months and I'm still sober
Picked all my weeds but kept the flowers

so my boyfriend writes amazing songs ill write a snippet of his lyrics for two songs =]

"she said she said I'm about to leave, so right there I put my heart upon my sleeve and I said, baby you already got the best, so why would you want to settle for anything less?"

" two against the world, but, I'm not scared because I got you by my side, yeh I got you by my side, two against the world...... but, I'm not scared because I got you by side, I got you by my side oh yes , oh yes."

he seriously is adorable i wish i had both songs memorized =]

somelyrics that im really relating to right now.

If i'm a bad person, you don't like me
I guess i'll make my own way
It's a circle
A mean cycle
I can't excite you anymore
Where's your gavel? your jury?
What's my offense this time?
You're not a judge but if you're gonna judge me
Well sentence me to another life.

Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
Cause you know we're not the same
Oh we're not the same
The friends who stuck together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good
It's good
It's good

You treat me just like another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess i'll go
I best be on my way out

Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend

This is the best thing that could've happened
Any longer and I wouldn't have made it
It's not a war no, it's not a rapture
I'm just a person but you can't take it
The same tricks that once fooled me
They won't get you anywhere
I'm not the same kid from your memory
Now I can fend for myself

Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
Cause you know we're not the same
Oh we're not the same
We used to stick together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good
It's good
It's good

You treat me just like another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess i'll go
I best be on my way out

Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend

You treat me just like another stranger
Well it's nice to meet you sir
I guess i'll go
I best be on my way out

missing blogs

I cant figure out this whole blog thing I really cant its frustrating me. I missed a few blogs I was supposed to do b.c this is just so time so consuming and I just have so much going on.

So last week was alright... I was pretty sick, and and quiet sad.

And the week before that I was so stressed out, which really the stress from work, home, a boyfriend and school isn't decreasing its just getting worse.
