another friday.
i can’t keep track of time anymore. apparently the week is over again. now, what to do with the two days that i am given…
meetings with a client and a business associate. oil change. clean up house. buy much needed groceries. prepare a sunday school lesson. try to steal my sweetie away. maybe even watch a monster attack new york.
rest? i guess i can rest when i am old and grey…
war and sleep…
i slept 10.5 hours last night. it’s the first time in a while that i have gotten so much rest. i think that your body needs that time to deprogram.
before i went to bed i watched War Photographer, a documentary on my favorite photographer: James Nachtwey. this must have been the 10th time i’ve seen it. i guess i wish that i had that sort of drive in life. i wish i was a photojournalist.
making commercials is cool for paying the bills, but there is a part of me that would like to have some sort of an impact on the world other than “Buy a new Ford from Moss Miller Ford!“
maybe it’s all just a fantasy. maybe real photojournalists feel that their daily grind is equally unfulfilling as mine. if that be the case, then there is no use dreaming. it’s easy to stay at an easy job. not many people are blessed with the opportunity to have a low-stress job like mine. i mean, i am writing this blog from my office because there is nothing else to do.
so the question is: Do I try to pursue Photojournalism (even though i have a decent job and no formal journalism training)?
I came into this job thinking that it would be somewhat temporary (for a couple of years or so).
thoughts?
Obligatory 2008 post!
So yeah. It’s 2008. You know what that means, right?
Yes, I am going to have to remember to put ‘08 at the end of my dates instead of ‘07.
It’s the first new year of a new life. I am about to start teaching Sunday school for the 10 year old group. And i am soon to be the only tenant left in the West Grand house.
Hello Responsibility, my name is Aaron. I know we don’t know each other well, but that’s all about to change.
My goal for 2008: Step up and lead.
