I walk the line:
First off, let me start by telling you what a major geek I am. I actually said "teh" out loud today. That is worse than when I said "omfg" out loud as if it were a word, like "omfug". Christ.
In other news, as you probably know, Johnny Cash died. So did John Ritter. Now, I don't know either of these guys, but for some reason I'm really sad about both of their deaths. I'm sad about Johnny Cash because his music was fucking incredible, and music is one of the most important things in the world to me. I'm sad about John Ritter because he was a very funny, entertaining actor, and it just bites that he died so suddenly and so young. And you know what? Even though I don't know these people, I think it's fine to be sad about death, whether it's someone you know in real life or just someone who you admire from afar. Television and movies and books and music bring these people into our homes and we feel like we know them, so why shouldn't we feel a pang of sadness when one of them passes away?
So, this weekend, in addition to listening to a whole lot of Johnny Cash songs, I will be running around like a big fucking goober taking photos of stuff. See, the Brewery Artwalk is coming up soon, and I realized that I don't have nearly enough material for it, so I need to get crackin'. I'm going to try to do a self-portrait series, which should be quite a challenge. I'm usually very self-conscious in front of a camera and hate the way I look in most photos, which Steve can verify. Poor bastard tried to take some headshots of me for an article I'm writing and I was the Worst. Model. Evar. I've taken a few self-portraits before, and they turned out well, so I'm hoping I'll be able to overcome my natural aversion to being photographed and get some good photos done. And then you'll all come over to the Artwalk just so you can see them, because I'll be nekkid and god knows you all want to see me in the nude.
I've got some interview questions to finish writing, and then I'm going to turn off "teh" computer and go outside. Omfug, what a great idea!
