A Meaningful Dream

Almost everyday I find out about something new to do in the little ole' mitten. I found this article that features 10 awesome things to do in Metro Detroit here. To be honest I have only done 1 out of 10 things! I have already written about #8 Free Art Detroit Friday here. Looks like I have more exploring to do! I can't wait!...

Last night I was playing around with my camera. Out of 192 photos, this was the only decent photo I got. What makes me like it so much is how it came out. I did no editing what so ever. I achieved this effect by covering part of the flash with my hand. I never like using flash, but in this case I do. What...

This is Sasha. She is not my dog unfortunately. I had the privilege to babysit her this weekend. I already miss having her around. I can't wait to have a dog of my own again. I really miss that companionship. Apart of dog babysitting is making sure Sasha goes outside to take care of her doggie duties (pun intended). Since our yard doesn't have a...

 The first time I went to Luna Pier was when I was taking senior pictures for my cousin Sam (they turned out great by the way). It's so peaceful, serene and secluded. A great place to walk around, take photos and enjoy it's beautiful nature.  The whole beach is full of tiny little shells. I took some back home with me the last...

First off, I took this picture on the pier near by Malibu Beach, California. I was super stoked to find a Zoltar just like the one from the movie Big. . . . Today, while reading one of my favorite blogs (D E S I G N L O V E F E S T), I came across a site called The Secret Language of...

It seems like the only good photos I can get of my outfits is without my face in the photo...lol. The shorts were originally apart of a romper. One day I decided that I didn't like it as a romper anymore. I knew I would get more use if I were to cut it in half. I'm glad I did. What do you think? Blue...

I drew both of these for my Drawing 2 class last Fall semester. I love how simple they are and I think that's why I enjoyed making them so much. I remember I had to leave class to attend to something personal. From what my professor told me I missed out on a good critique. He told me the class was trying to...

David and I have been watching The Walking Dead lately. We just finished Season 2 a couple nights ago. At first I wasn't very into it but now I cannot get enough of it! It's a great show and I highly recommend watching it. The meme above David made himself. As we were watching this scene he bursted out laughing saying how this scene should...

I took this photo at Olvera Street over in Los Angles, California. It is one of my favorite spots to visit while I'm over visiting my family. I hope to go see them again soon! Possibly this summer? I stumbled upon this photo and wanted to share it. It's such a beautiful place. Especially at night. Olvera Street is a street full of...

Friday's happen to be one of my favorite days of the week. One reason why I love it so much is because of Free Art Detroit Friday. What is it exactly? Free Art Detroit Friday encourages people to  get out, explore the city of Detroit and snag a FREE piece of art made by local artists. It promotes creativity in the community with art in any shape,...

I've been trying to eat healthier...trying to. For the past two days whenever I feel hungry but not hungry enough to eat a full meal, I'll cut strawberries and bananas and put them in a bowl. IT'S SO GOOD. It's more filling than I thought it would be too. I know the picture quality isn't the best but I was too eager to...

Wednesday, David and I went to pick up my resized promise ring. (Yay I have it back!) Since we were in the area we decided to stop by one of our favorite Salvation Armies that we don't go to often. Here are a few things I found but sadly, did not buy.  I would LOVE to sip out of these cups every morning....

I only started this blog a few days ago and last night I had what I consider "A Meaningful Dream". I've had plenty of them in the past. Yet this one is a little different than the rest. Last night I had someone who passed away years ago. I had never met or seen in person before. In the dream, I did not talk to...

I had been searching for a Union Jack shirt that was affordable for the longest time. I've seen some I liked at Forever 21 but either I didn't have the money, (mostly because I didn't have the money) it didn't fit right, or it was just okay. One day while David and I were at one of our favorite thrift stores, I happened to stumble upon an...

This is just one of the MANY clovers I've found. I found this after work on my way to my car. I  looked down and BAM, four leaf clover. To be honest that's how I find clovers. Sometimes I'll squat down and search for them, but most of the time I'll walk by and it catches my eye. I think I've found a...

I chose the picture above because sometimes my dreams are just meshed together into a bunch of colors or nonsense. Some of the dreams I've had make me wonder, "Why did I dream this?". I find my self searching for the meaning behind my dreams all the time. What I have noticed in a lot of my dreams is the common theme of blue....

Something that I haven't done in a long time is go outside and take pictures. I took this photo few years ago at a local park nearby the house I was living at. This photo was taken with me moving the camera vigorously with a slow shutter speed. I could not be more happy with the results. Every time I look at this picture I...
