Tuesdays. Fuckin' Tuesdays.

It's been a pretty crappy start to the week actually. Sunday night I had these bizarre pains in my stomach which lead to me taking yesterday off. I then slept until 7:45am this morning, I start work at 8:00am. I don't know what's wrong with me, I just can't get enough sleep and find it so hard to get motivated to do anything that requires even minimal concentration. Moreso than usual.

I've come to a few decisions since my tantrum after Deep Roots. 
I'm going to continue with music photography - I'm way too close to give up now. I'm just going to take it a little slower, not apply for so many gigs a week, not go to gigs just to take photos... stuff like that. I'm also going to only focus on music photography - It was always at the back of my mind that I should be pushing to do weddings, portraits, and take cute photos of babies... But the passion for it simply isn't there. I'm sure it will be eventually, but with gigs it's like I've fallen into the place I'm supposed to be, I've never felt anything close to that in my life and I want to enjoy this feeling for a while... without being distracted or having that guilt because I should be concentrating on other things. I've never been this determined and persistant with anything either. I give up everything that's good for me - relationships, diets, etc... I'm not giving this up. This decision also means I can actually brainstorm and come up with decent ideas for bside boys. I've got a few which are pretty kick ass but I'm going to need to churn out a lot more...

I was contacted by Dallas Frasca's manager over the weekend about the pictures I took of her at Deep Roots, which was really cool. They want to use them on the website/MySpace. AWESOME! Dallas was fuckin' brilliant I must say, she could kick anyone's ass. She did a great cover of Beyonce's Work It Out.

Anyways, I'm going to cook some chicken.

Good for you. Don't stretch yourself to thin ;) And I agree you are close! Everyone has setbacks and things that go terribly wrong... The difference between the ones who fail and the ones who succeed: the ones who fail quit before they make it!

What you've achieved in a year is more than some achieve in 10 years doing the same thing, so don't be so hard on yourself. Take things slowly, and everything will work out just fine.

Don't forget that the journey is just as important as the destination :)
