Keeping It Real

So as of a week and a half ago I am single once again. And while the "future is bright" this present moment lacks in adequate illumination. I've been coping by keeping myself busy and diving back into all the things that I enjoy so much: hanging out with friends, making new friends, working on my art and exploring the area.

This weekend I'm heading to Santa Rosa to hang out with Lou, go to a citizenship party for a friend of his, go hiking and have a pre-halloween bingo party with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. The following weekend I'm attending a minimalist halloween party (how does one costume oneself without the use of clothing?). The last weekend of the month I'm flying to Cincinnati for a few days to visit my friend George and his partner Dennis. At the end of the month I'm taking an Intermediate Digital Photography Class. Beyond that I've submitted work to a gallery to be considered for their 2008 show schedule, have completed a new photo layering piece, have three photo shoots scheduled, am checking out a few groups I've been wanting to know more about (some with scary results) and have started to catch up on the movies/tv shows I've wanted to see.

All in all, I'd say I'm doing damned well considering the circumstances. Maybe the present ain't so dim after all.
