…I just play one on TV!

Well, I broke down and bought me a pack of cigarettes last night… I think work wore on my more than I thought it would. When I got off work I was so stressed I couldn’t breath… so I smoked and inhaled a lot of dirty air and my lungs opened up immediately!

I saw a photo on Flickr last night where a chick was holding a gun and thought it looked cool. I gave it a try last night but am not just real happy with the outcome… I really blasted it with wayyyy too much light and kind of wanted something a little darker… That’s where this shot comes into play… I did some vintage sepia type processing on it that toned down the lights and highlights… Ah, well…

Until next time…

Ok, so I am falling behind on my “365 Days” project… Whatever! Who cares! Back up off me!!!

So, I’ve been busy the past few nights and hope to have a little time this evening to make something happen… I think I am going to start a series of photos related to things I am doing away with in my life and/or am done with in my life… just something to document my progress on this journey to being a better person!

Anyway, yesterday, I had my last cig at 11:30am and didn’t smoke another until 9:00pm last night… And!!! Yes, and!!! I haven’t had one at all today and I am feeling pretty good about that!

Until next time…

However, US has more people surfing more of the Web… So, which is better? More people surfing less of the Web, or, less people surfing more of the Web?

Well, well, well… I have been doing so good, mood wise, lately and last night I kind of threw it all in the trash. I see one thing that needs attention: partaking of adult beverages. I seem to get real jackassy when I drink a certain clear, non-odorous adult beverage that originated in Russia (supposedly). I have got to get that drink out of my life…

I say things I don’t mean, I do things I don’t want to, and I hurt people around me that I wouldn’t ever dream of disappointing in a sober moment.

I’ve ruined some relationships since my marriage and I think I owe it all to this one potent beverage. It really makes me a little frustrated with myself when I act like that. People that know me will know I am normally a pretty nice easy going guy. But, not when this drink enters my system… I get real sarcastic (yes, more than normal) and I just make really cutting remarks…

But, you know what the good thing is about this?! I don’t remember any of it… Instead of it being a good thing, I really believe it is a curse… People tell me what I did and I have no recollection of it… That’s just plain stupid and I won’t indulge in this beverage any longer…

Until next time…

Well, there comes a time in every man’s life that he must decide to do something he can’t stand to do… For me, that is painting… Ugh…

I got a really crazy hair up my rear about 6 months ago, I guess, and found a little swatch of paint colors on an entry way that I thought was the best ever… So, I bought paint, started painting, and hate it… My entry way has looked like what you see above for quite some time… I’m getting tired of it.

So, I am going to go back with a dark brown color on the top and bottom of the chair rail and then the trim and chair rail are going back to white. I think it will be the best thing for everyone involved, which is me and occasionally myself. All iof the “decor” that I purchased to go in this entry way will still look great with the brown color, so all I am out if paint… Which, in itself is expensive enough! Man, is it…

Anyway, I hope all of my most valuable readers has a wonderful day. Remember, Cocoa loves you!

Until next time…
