I don't know these people

Alee,

Do you know who these people are? Because I have no idea.

I took this picture at the Butterfly Exhibit at the Natural Science Museum. We were coming around this curve near this random water fall and there they were. I figured since they were posing for a picture anyway I could take their picture as well. So I did. And like it.

I like the light in this picture. And that the family actually looks like they like each other. But who knows, they may be really good at pretending.

I don't really know what the point is. Maybe it's that I'm ready to go back to RenFest so I can take pictures of random strangers and post them on the internet. I'm getting a shot of the Storm Trooper this year (I knew he existed!).

Alee,

Britney Spears once wisely said, "There are only two types of people in world/The ones that entertain, and the ones that observe". And while her punctuation may be appalling, she is mainly correct.

On Friday night we went to Sherlocks to see the Space Rockers. From what I can tell, they are basically two types of people in the world: the ones that make fools of themselves and the ones who watch and laugh.

Basically the premise is that they are superheroes from outer space sent to earth to give us rock. It's silly and hilarious. And not rock at all, but oh well.

The best part is the fans. There are people taking pictures with them during breaks and, my personal favorite, people standing in front of the stage, finger in the air, looking at the singer like he is Steven Tyler. That's when I pulled out the camera.

The blue blob in the picture above is the dancing guy who gets tired and has to stop. He likes to dance alone and bring back moves from the 80s. Only he can't quite remember them.

Here is is sitting. I think he was tired again:

I'm kind of in love with this picture and the strange sadness of it all. I also like the normalcy of the band standing around on the stage during the break, except they are wearing superhero from outer space costumes.

I got this idea for a story about the Space Rockers and I'm going write it soon.

One for the road:

Excuse me while I wave my towel around to the music. What?

So Much.

Kelly,

I have way too much to tell you. I'm upset today, and it has not been a very good week, and the weather is not helping, and I want to delete the story I wrote you and write a new and better one because that one is far too long and silly anyways.

Okay.
Now I'm going to speak with breaths in between my sentences.

I miss you! And I'm going to surprise you soon. Very soon. I hope you're excited.

I am!
It's weird being on my own... At this point in my life, there is just too much to wrap up into one blog.

On a completely different note, here's a picture I took that I really like;

It reminds me of an old microphone. I titled it "Center Stage at the Midnight Jazz Cafe."

I'm really into photography lately, and particularly darker, more abstract stuff right now at least. But I think I probably need to take more pictures like this;

Because this one is happy and makes me want to smile. Sometimes, I think it is harder to really make something substantially meaningful out of a smile or something light than a frown or something dark. But I think that's why I like this picture so much.

Anyways.

Write on!
