Thankfully still got things to look forward too coming up, but more so just photo jobs and what not and hopefuly some adventures with Skye, even though friend i had been talking to and making tons of plans with is kinda gone now. I feel like I can honestly go on forever about the last 2 months in general but meh, I got some small weddings and other things planned coming up to look forward too. Also finally started to hangout with local friends again, 4th of July was fun, and they also just have random lil get togethers and game nights that I go to which is always fun. Hopefully more of that this year and just make actual more local friends.

Oh yea, got rid of my old W124 Benz in April, finally got into a 2018 Outback 3.6R and been slowly doing small things to that to make it little more mine and unique. WAY better car all around and just nice and new, cozy for me and Skye so we can just adventure whenever we want again. Already did a couple long day trips along the coast. Stoked for the summer again and even winter, I can finally just get out and shoot / hike way more now.

Supposed to go into San Francisco late tonight too since my oldest brother has a small show but he's playing like midnight -1AM OOF. Will be fun though.

Shot a burlesque show tonight, and have another one tomorrow (same production just different acts/performers). Was honestly super fun and everyone who was there both auedience and performers were super nice. Then got a couple other events this month too, including a wedding, woooo.

Lets see if I end up going to San Francisco on Tuesday though for Sidewalks & Skeletons. Someone from sacramento said they might go so if they go ill probably force myself to drive into SF and hangout. Specially since they are one of my favorite artists too. ALSO... I had tickets to Madeon at Red Rocks that I bought like 6 months ago, but sadly didn't make all the preporations and trip for the show, threw up tickets for super cheap but they still didn't selll.... -$125 oh well.

The 2 days of shooting with Gibson went amazing though and required lot of editing but I should finally be getting paid soon now which will be nice.... to spend it all on my car most likely :'). Feels good to be caught up on any work I am required to edit or send out though so I can play games or just do things without having to think about that stuff.

Anyways, overall things been good I guess... This month is finally busy with photo things and so is October. So I'll finally have some money to pay off things and fix/upgrade car things as well. Shot a quick wedding at San Francisco city hall, and then helped second shoot a super gorgeous wedding yesterday. Later this month I have 2 full day shoots with Gibson and Mesa/Boogie since somehow they got my contact info and asked me to shoot one day with them (at the Phoenix theater too!) but then ended up wanting me for the following day where the shoot will be at a local recording studio. Shooting lot of gear stuff and just action / candid shots of the gear and what not. It's almost a little scary since it's a full on production with few other people there and its just me with the crazy shot list haha. I know once I start shooting though and they'll do lot of the main setup and what not it'll be fun and easy. Decent pay too :).

ANYWAYS, Warped Tour in Long Beach is this weekend! Both Saturday and Sunday, and I should hopefully have photo access for both days since I'm shooting for Nothing,Nowhere <3. Which is actually insane that we talk a little here and there and he said he'd be down to have me out there so woooo! Lot of online friends will be there too, so hopefully meet some friends irl for the first time and just have fun for the weekend. So far it's all mostly just go with the flow and see what happens, I'm 99% sure driving down some 2 people from Sacramento though since it's too late to fly now anyways.

North Bay Fashion Ball was fun though, saw some familar faces from previous years and other local events I've shot. Ended up shooting as much as I would shoot at a wedding.... which will take aloooong time to sort through. Thankfully actually editing them should be somewhat fast though. Just for $250 too but I don't mind. OH and it took place at Lagunitas which is always fun, had some tasty ass beer while I was there haha.

Feels good when certain things in life kinda feel like they're getting back on track. After being just kinda "meh" for the longest time and just content with anything. Still haven't shot too much concerts or paid gigs this year, but the ones I have had have been good so far. BUT got a wedding in a few months, and hopefully a second wedding shortly after that one.

Shot Nothing,Nowhere and Sace6 last month in Sacramento, and always try to keep in contact with Joe (Nothing,Nowhere). Since I've loved all of his stuff since day 1 and shot photos for him everytime he's come around. Anyways, few days ago I messaged him about Warped Tour in Long Beach happening next month. He asked if I mess with video, and we talked a little bit and he said he is down to have me ou there! Like this is HUGE for me, after being kind of out of the loop and just not shooting all that much the past few years. Not 100% set in stone yet, but he said he'll get me any paperwork needed or get me in touch with his TM. The lineup is absolutely insane too, and its 2 full days, which I will hopefully be able to go to both days with whatever access I get granted. Either way though I know lots of people down there and just people who will be there in general so it should be fun and nostalgic like the good ol days of warped tour when I used to shoot 1-2 dates every year. Might just fly down there, but then just go with the flow once I'm there lol.

Otherwise, my birthday was a couple of days ago, and just had a nice laid back day, got tons of sushi, and played games with friends online and hung out with Skye. The Benz is doing alright overall, but just always has a couple small things that can use some love or fixing but will get done with time. Lot of people love the car though and always makes me happy when I get a thumbs up or a nod, specially from older people lol.

Man, thought about coming on here couple times last month or two, both for amazing days, and for bad days where my mind gets to me. Good day was going to a show in Berkeley to see Wolf & Bear along with Honey Revenge, Vana, and Nightlife. Was Tyler's last show with Wolf & Bear and we had some good times over the last 8 years and went on first couple tours with them. Went to the show with a friend too and was just an amazing night. Shot photos of course too which they loved and used. old 1995 Mercedes is still doing alright, and always go out with skye on little adventures still.

One of the few actual friends I have around here is moving at the end of the month, across the country with her bf. Which in the end I'm honestly happy about cause we all hung out and she deserves so many good things after what she's been through and they are perfect. But we did have a small "thing" in the past and if timing was different back then who knows, but that's in the past and we are good friends who always check in on eachother and you need those kind of people in your life.

I finally froze/cancelled my stakeUS (gambling) site for 6 months after randomly playing today and it being the absolute worst day I've ever had on there haha. Like i should have just bought a steam card or something instead, least i never depo a lot and always smaller amounts. Fuck, anyways.... Overall though I'm still ahead a decent amount. Got my crazy chair and little things with winnings and then still got some (crypto) on the side I just leave sitting and pretend doesnt exist unless i need something bad. Guess it's been a meh year overall so far still, but least not much bad stuff I guess, just kind of stagnant if anything.

Love the older benz I have still, even though it leaks alot, i'll get that fixed. Fixed the paint up some and just get compliments on it every now and then, specially people in older Euro cars. Still mostly just get out with skye everyday and little adventures then lot of games lol. Course it would always be nice having a girlfriend or just couple friends again that like getting out or that just wanna play games honestly. miss games with friends online constantly ( sure i can find some if i post in my story)

Meh, today just kinda was fucked, but happy that i heard you can self exclude or freeze your account on that site. like I cant even open any games or anything which is awesome. now i gotta shoot photos for a show next week and edit everything to make up for what i lost but show will be fun though and its in San francisco which I honeslty haven't even gone too in awhile.

Man, life so far this year just continues to be one big "wtf" and "meh oh well". Not even because it's Valentines day or anything, but just weird feeling. I am continuing to do stuff solo still and just getting out with Skye, but still want to hang out with the 1-2 friends i used to hang out with, but that's super rare to happen now a days too. Love my old Benz still, but can't wait to get the oil problem fixed eventually then i need some bigger adventures again.
