little boys and photo booth

to many, the idea of lots of rowdy little boys is annoying, frustrating, loud, obnoxious... but not me. i have 6 nephews; SIX. ranging in age from almost 14 down to 3 years old; they are the light of my life. every time i visit home, they beg and BEG to play on my computer...they just love taking pictures with Mac's Photo Booth application.


i really need to capitalize on their silly creativity because the give me some great pictures to go back and look at whenever i need a smile or a chuckle. it'd be fun to start printing the pictures on t-shirts, just for fun... or to make silly comics or cards out of some of the poses they come up with while playing with the different effect settings.


they will entertain themselves for HOURS!


priceless, just priceless!

if personal ads weren't quite so pathetic and desperate...

seeking: mutual constancy, dependability, accountability, support... someone to give me a push when i'm stalled, help me up when i'm down... a go-to person. someone solid, grounded, and balanced; a person i can always count on. i'm lacking that in my life. i seem to be that person for many others, and i willingly and proudly fill that role; but i find--though i love my friends dearly--that none of them fills this role in my life. i find myself lonely and longing for that unwavering source of strength, stability, and solid wise advice. not that we all don't struggle at one time or another... i realize and willingly admit this fact. this fact is also the reason why i feel, now more than ever, that i need such a person. when i struggle, i don't feel like i have someone as described above to go to. i know that my friends try, that they always support me to the best of their ability, and i am grateful for such support, but sometimes i need more. someone who knows my shit and can call me on it; who doesn't let me hide, knows when i'm in need... not sure i'll ever find that, but that doesn't stop me from longing for it.
