Wasted Continuum

Frick on a stick, I’ve been memed by Breanne (@minxsy on twitter)! So now I have to blog about the 6th photo from the 6th page of my Flickr. This is a good one. It’s one of my 365 photos and was also part of my Black and White Week project. This was actually a very significant day for me personally, but I really can’t get into that. Basically, my day was crappy, but someone special made me feel better at the end of the night.

Ok, so I guess I should thank Breanne for making me look back on this wonderful day. Wow. Behold the power of meme. It may be a force of good. You should follow @minxsy. She is awesome.

Time to choose my victims. Hopefully, they’ll play along because I’m not taking any responsibility for what may happen if they don’t. I guess I’ll choose people I know that might actually be up for it. I’m choosing Daynah (@daynah) and Maddy (@fairybabe). Good luck. If anyone else wants to jump in, feel free. Leave your blog post in my comments in you do.

I have been, for one reason or another, very inefficient with my time. I have a lot of small, but significant things in my life that is just sucking up the time out of my days. Continue Reading »

Like my photo, I’ve been very unfocused as of late. I’m not really sure why. I just feel like I have a lot of personal projects floating out there with no sort of organization or timeline for them. I will attempt to reign them all in this weekend and maybe even make a schedule for them. I will write more about them this weekend. My lack of focus has also affected my Flickr 365 project. It stagnated for a while. Too many angled face shots. I’m going to get out of this rut. It’s mostly due to really poor time management. Thank you to my returning readers and also to new readers, too.
