Distractions - How 'bout some more pics?

Hi. I'm not feeling so hot again. Trying my best though.

This morning was another fight. We're not communicating and it's both our faults. Not just me, not just him...BOTH. It's difficult. I am trying to be positive and not implode like I've been prone to do over these past months. My boss is noticing and it's been affecting my performance at work.

Speaking of work, I have to take back all those horrible things I said about my boss. Erase, erase, erase... I am being unfair. I have to do my job. This is my lot in life, I chose it. I can get out if I really want to. But I am weak and scared right now. It's all I can do to continue on the sane path from day to day. Stop letting all this shit into my head. Day by day. I can make this one a good and productive one.

What was that I was saying about pics? Yes. Let's see the lovely things that distract us from our inability to really communicate, understand and respect each other...

Warning...there is no rhyme or reason to these shots. They're just fun. Let's start with the Meticalla trip to the beautiful town of Fresno, California...



The view outside our lovely little hotel room. There's my little beat up, red Honda in the parking lot. I love how the trees finally started turning. It only took until December!



More trees outside our room!



Lighting one of the many smokes of the night. This one was before the show, while we were still in our room...uhm..."preparing" to leave.



Here we are on the lawn outside the venue. I certainly look "prepared" to go into the concert here, don't I? Complete with gut sticking out, white bra showing through the black shirt and tossed look on my face. Yep, send me in babe.



What? You expected to see pictures of Metallica playing? HAHA! Heavens no, we weren't allowed cameras...even though I snuck ours in (literally in my panties, looked like I had a dong but I got in with it)...we didn't think of turning off the flash to get shots. No no. This one of me in bed after the show is much more revealing. I went to bed hungry that night, as all two fast food restaurants within our drunken reach were PACKED to the gills.



The next morning. Isn't this exciting?



The giant bird shit on my car. Had to get a shot of that as we were leaving. Such texture...



The long road home.



Far out, indeed...



Trailers for sale!



Oh, when the hell is all this "rain" they keep saying is coming gonna BE HERE already?!



Road trip! Yaay!

Are you ready for the fantastic shots from our Mike Patton concert experience in the city?



The view from our hotel room at the SF Hilton.



Another view, the following Friday. It got foggy goggy in Sanie Frannie. In' that somethin'?



The inside of our hotel room.

Yea. Those are pretty much it for our trip. That and the tickets we downloaded and printed. We got a shot of the sign outside the music hall on Ron's phone and I got a few grainy shots of Mike on mine. No camera, again, even though we had it with us for the trip. They were allowed in, just no flashes. I guess we just didn't want to deal with it getting ruined. Plus, the shots wouldn't have been much different from the jillions I've seen online. At least I've got the unique experience in my head. And I'll see Patton again...

Photographer I am not... But I'm working on it. Here, have another shot of the fish tank for good measure...



...and another...



...aaaaaaaaaaaaand one more...



I just love how this thing is turning out.

Anyway, that's it for now. I'll try to do better with the trip to Lake Tahoe in February. Yea, we're gonna do that for our vacation instead because we can't afford Hawaii right now. Shit, by the time I get to see that place it's going to be overrun by tourists and ruined. Oops, there I go again, be negative and bringing it onto myself. I must be happy with what I have and work with it. Work with it...

Later, ya'll.
