grapevine fires

i have literally been sitting in bed all day. i dont know what ive been doing, it seemed productive at the time, but now im not so sure it was. now that my life is finally not in shambles due to the uga art program im really going to try to write more often, though im pretty sure no one reads this anymore anyway lol. the beginning of the summer has been a busy one, but im just still reeling over spring semester being over it all still hasnt hit me yet. ive been working a lot, doing some editing for brenda and shooting weddings of course, ive got a portrait sitting on sunday and in a strange life-circulating kind of twist of events im shooting ryans brothers wedding this weekend. revisiting my first solo job ever i suppose. ill pray for more organization and skill level on my part this time around. im about to start working on some more business-related stuff as well. ill be updating my website and creating a much prettier word press blog that will hopefully become the cornerstone of my marketing strategy...oh and i jumped on the twitter train even though i still dont understand the point. now that im in the graphic design program i feel almost like im living someone else's life. things seem so different, but in a good way. ill hopefully spend some time learning more about all that jazz and i want to try screen printing at home, ill let you know how that venture goes lol.

last week we went to the death cab concert at the fox. after hearing mixed reviews about their previous live performances i had low expectations but i really enjoyed the show. i thought the lighting really complemented the music well without being distracting. i actually downloaded narrow stairs right after it came out last year. i loved i will possess your heart and was pretty let down by the rest of the album, so i listened to it once then trashed it. after hearing everything live i redownloaded the album and i actually like it now. its a shift from plans for sure, it lacks the droaning beats and repetition prevelent in plans and transatlanticism, but it takes a nod back to some of their earlier stuff. of course, i dont know shiz about music so this could all be wrong, just a humble thought. i particularly love grapevine fires. if i could paint worth shit i would paint this song, the imagery in the lyrics gives me goosebumps. and ill leave you tonight with that.

We bought some wine and some paper cups
Near your daughters school when we picked her up
And drove to a cemetery on a hill
On a hill

And we watched the plumes paint the sky gray
But she laughed and danced through the field of graves
And there I knew it would be alright
That everything would be alright

Would be alright
