NaBloPoMo Take 2?

Looks like I might have failed as a blogger yet again. I don't know how you people do this all the time and keep up with it. I can't seem to get myself into any kind of schedule or writing mode. It's a good thing I never paid for an actual site/web hosting or else I'd be out some money instead of just my pride.

With June comes a new NaBloPoMo challenge and reading Twitter today I saw that a bunch of Yinz Team will be participating in the challenge once again. I'm not quite sure I'll be up for one new blog post every day of this month but I promise to try and update at LEAST once a week. Baby steps.

Anyway, it's now been seven (SEVEN?!) months since I last posted on this blog. I don't know where the time went or what I did with it but a lot of stuff has happened. I'm sure I could go back and give a lot of posts about what's happened in the past seven months (and I know I will once NaBloPoMo is done) but the theme for the June NaBloPoMo is "Now". What's happened since my last post is definitely not "Now" although much of it does affect now. It kind of leaves me at a loss as to what I should do. I think I'll start off with a video I just watched that was retweeted on Twitter by @deuscain. Not going to lie, I teared up a bit during this one.

There's a few reasons why this hit close to home for me. I recently lost my father who was always behind the camera. I inherited his camera before he passed away but this still kind of hit home since I'm picking up his knack for taking pictures and hardly being in them. The other, bigger reason, is the kind of love that's portrayed. This one is two fold because it makes me wonder what kind of loss and pain my mom is actually going through and how strong she is for keeping her composure as well as she does. The other part plays on my hopeless romantic side which wants a love like that and the fear of loss after having and losing such a love. I know it's all in my head right now and dating/love is definitely something I'm not currently pursuing but it's something that's always in the back of my mind.

Anyway, that's what's going on in my messed up head right now. What should come next is some time with my digital photo imaging book so I can be prepared for class tomorrow. I don't really see that happening. Instead, I'll probably watch some TV and putz around on Twitter before I head to bed "early". Had some trouble sleeping last night and need to catch up on some zzz's.
