[Bernie Mac voice] Wake up Mr. Si! <insert drum roll> TADOW! Ya boy has finally enrolled in COLLEGE! Yes! YES! I was on DeviantART and saw an advertisement for The Art Institute of Pittsburgh Online. So I went ahead and decided to major in Graphic Design going for my Bachelor’s. I’m happy . . . Jai’s happy, along with my fam and folk. I must say though, I’m learning a lot about myself and my personal abilities to grow as an individual. It’s amazing how much we can accomplish as people and more so as individuals!
I say this simply because, I’m more religious than I was months ago, I’ve found church to be a very strong start to what I call a good week! Anyone who knows Si, knows that I used to cut my eyes at the current concept of church and opt out to join Bedside Baptist. That went on for several years, and maybe it was a good thing. Why? Because, I asked questions and sought out my own answers. In turn I developed more questions and amazingly . . . received more answers. I can now say religion really isn’t all that bad, it just depends on how strong your relationship is with the God you serve . . . however, the fire and brimstone way of some older people is a bit much . . . STILL lol. Why? Because . . . if that’s the case we’re ALL going to Hell and that’s just discouraging damnitt!
. . . Allow me to change subjects before I piss someone off or possibly scare someone stupid . . . In other news, I’ve managed to find something on youtube of good use (other than a laugh or sheer racial embarrassment). I managed to get some studio-ish lighting through a little DIY with the help of Home Depot and I tripod! GOTTA LOVE IT! And check this . . . it’s all done with fewer than 20 dollars per source (if you have a tripod already). Search google for “YouTube: home depot studio lighting”. You should find exactly what I’m talkin about.
Needless to say the shots I took with my one source came out NICE! (and of course, Jai modeled for me) Check the shots out below:
She’s such a good sport! Let’s give her a hand! <insert hand claps and fanfare here> Next will be shots of me . . . hopefully! I want to teach her the ins and outs of photography, she has a good eye and her creativity is ever-present in all she does. Saying: “I’m proud of you” does add up at all, but I think she knows . . . truth be told, I suck with words (no homo) so each sentence is damn near HELL!
With that said, please forgive my hiatus . . . I’m really gonna try and provide SOME type of update . . . even if it’s shitty! . . . YA DIG!?
On a Sirius Note: Love isn’t all kiss and hug, it’s also mean and ugly and you can’t choose which ones you choose to take. It’s all or nothing, if you truly love someone, you should never let them go until they’re gone. I first heard the phrase: “If you love something, let it go // if it comes back, it’s fasho // if don’t, you’ll neva know” from DMX. In my more youthful time, it was the shit! NOW . . . I can’t agree. DMX is a problematic brother anyway (police love that nigga) . . . I say fight for what you believe in. If you believe in the love you have, fight for it! You’ll never know if you don’t try.
Yes, I know it was random, but it was on my heart to say it. I’m an emotional dude, raised by females. I’m not a smooth operator, or the Billy D. to the ladies . . . Damnitt I’m sub-normal . . . a geeky nerd and my heart is filled with love and passion. So you have to forgive for it if you’re not the mushy type.
[YAWN] well, it’s WAY past morning and I’m dozing off as I type . . . so excuse me while I recharge.
