Festival of Lights

This past weekend was the Festival of light here in Downtown Riverside, and boy was it a sight to see. Friday was opening night and I was eager to see how the lights would turn out this year. So eager I left my camera at home. FAIL!!!! Friday was the busiest of the weekend, they shut down a lot of the major streets through out down town and let the people roam the streets. Super fun to experience, would have been more fun to have captured it. Saturday Danielle and I went to go ice skating and see the lights. I was still in awe at the sight of everything, plus I'd never been ice skating before. Fun was had all around and I snapped a few photos that night, couldn't really man a camera on ice. I tried, but was told I couldn't have it in the ice. Sunday was a day of swap meets, thrift stores, food and another trip to the lights. This time Danielle and I were accompanied by some friends, Julio and Fidel. The four of us spent pretty much all day together. I couldn't ask for a better way to spend a day.

I must say I am thrilled on how these photos of myself have turned out. A friend (Jared) of mine asked to use me as a test subject for his film and photography class a few weeks ago. He snapped a roll of film at my apartment and after seeing a few of the photos he took, I've become very interested in the same class he took. I just wish I could afford the time and money to go to school and work at the same time. I wish I would have taken an interest in photography when I was piercing part time, now that I'm always at work I have really no time for anything. Maybe I could work my two days off a week around a class or two. Thanks again for the photos Jared. Being as it's been a while since I've updated my blog nothing really has happened that I felt was blog worthy. I meant to sit down a write a blog about my recent trip to Texas for Fun Fun Fun Fest, but really didn't have the motivation to, also my Internet has been acting up on me. Even if I tried to updated about it, I'm sure it wouldn't post or FireFox would lose the server or something. Work has been slow for the month of November with the exception of this past weekend. I was getting a bit scared I wouldn't have my money for bills. I constantly keep my mind occupied, so I can try and drown out my urge to move. It's really all I've been thinking about. I can't get New York out of my head. Also Seattle, but I know now just isn't the time to move. It'd be super hard to find a job, or a place. I know I just need to hold off till things get better.

Hate to say I told you so

But, I guess I could have seen that coming. I'm sure things wouldn't have worked out. Halloween was fun for me this year. San Pedro, Nofx, Pennywise, Misfits and black flag cover sets. Good friends, rowdy pit and tons of spilled beer.
