Addam

So my Jehovah's Witness boss officially knows that I'm sleeping with her daughter. Nice.

It's good that it's raining. Maybe if it keeps raining long enough our state won't catch fire again this year. It seems like maybe some of us have lost track of eachother over the winter. That shit happens; it shouldn't prevent us all from going on a few adventures now that the weather's getting warm again.

I'm moving to Eugene in August. I'm going to take two random classes at Lane Community College. Still no desire to get a degree. I'll have to find some sort of job. I'm not too worried about that since I know that I can work even the most demeaning job without losing my soul (I've got a W-2 from Hell if you don't believe me) and I'm sure I can find something. Other than that I'd like to ride my bike a lot (first I need to completely overhaul Isabella-and have Alex show me how to do it myself), take as many photos as I can, start writing books, learn everything about history that Brandon can teach me, explore Oregon, and start living a happy and productive life.

But that's still a ways off and I'm also going to Italy at some point in May. Come on IRS, get your shit together and gimme my money. I'm working fulltime at the Sunflower where I pretty much can't get in trouble (my mormon boss told me the other day that I smelled "powerful like reefer" and probably only mentioned it so that I could air out before Becky came in) and am happy with my position there. I'm taking slightly better care of my body than I have in the past. Callista's going to be my yoga/quit smoking cigarettes buddy.

I've been listening to a lot of Tom Waits lately.

I'm exhausted and tired of sleeping on a couch but I still haven't made my room habitable and it's probably leaking in there anyway because of the rain. I hope everybody is doing well. Good night, Interwebs.

One bowl plus two swallows of whiskey plus a shitload of Tom Waits on an MP3 player and a good night for walking.

How's everybody doing out there on those interwebs?

That may or may not take you to my flickr account.

So today I finally tracked down my portfolio on the 35 DVDs that used to be my hard drive. I thought that I'd lost shots from this summer and from the last 4 years forever. I can't describe the feeling of relief.

Anyway, Room-101 doesn't seem to want to work for me anymore so I opened a Flickr account. If you want to see any of my new shit, just go to flickr.com and type addam.goard into the search people thing and you'll find my page.

Watching Of Mice and Men when you feel bad is most definitely a terrible idea.

I shaved. That's only the second time since April.

It's hot.

Every time I post in this thing, it's been so long since I've posted that livejournal has completely changed its shit. Anyway, I posted a few photos (I have more from May-July but a lot of them are somewhere in a stack of about 30 DVDs that used to be my computer's hard drive).

Mr. Cragun died on the 23 of February. I guess the memorial service is tomorrow at 11 AM. That sucks, he was a nice guy.

I went to Stockton and took pictures today.

Stolen from Rebe, the first 1-2 sentences of every month in 2006

January
Yea, I think I might finally be done with worrying so goddamn much. Anxiety is a pretty pointless, stupid emotion.
February
So I'm wandering myspace because I'm bored and I come across this girl's icon. And I think, wow, that's a great fucking picture.
March
So my dad filled my FAFSA out 2 days ago. Except actually he didn't and I had to do it last night.
April
I am very pleased to know that Addam Goard Images will be photographing the tournament as well as having a booth there to "show case" the action between the teams.
May
I think I've spent about 6 hours editing pictures tonight. My brain ACTUALLY feels numb.
June
Well I officially got a 3.5 and had to talk to Jackie Levy about graduation photos for my dad and thought about how a year ago, I was the little kids walking away from Dova in June getting ready for summer and how this is kind of my first adult summer (though they'll keep getting more and more adult) and then I thought about the Fourth of July and how it will be 6 o'clock and it will be getting cooler outside when I grab my keys and bounce to wherever and for whatever reason that made me feel better.
July
Kansas was pretty awesome for a bunch of old people. How can you listen to Carry On Wayward Son and not enjoy it?
August
All I have to do is find a way to San Francisco on September 7 and I'll be in Italy.
September
"There will be in the next generation or so a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them but will rather enjoy it."
-Aldous Huxley, 1961
October
Rage is far too subtle a word for what I feel right now.
November
Sometimes I am astounded by the stupidity of others.
December
I've become sort of bad at expressing myself lately. Sometimes I forget the words I'm looking to use and sometimes I think that maybe I never knew the necessary words in the first place.

Pictures from the World Can't Wait rally.

Some of my Italy pictures.

I can't say I'm ashamed of this score.

Also, I am happy to announce that it is offically summer. It has nothing to do with work or school or weather. It's summer because right now I'm eating an Otter Pop.

Fuck, I'm going to get addicted to them again. Whatever, they're like crack that isn't bad for you.

If you can make it, apparently the Deftones have a free show at Cesar Chavez park at 5 PM.

I always underestimate the Deftones because they're like, a metal band, but every time I start listening to Adrenaline I remember that their music is actually really good in a pissed off, aggressive, let's-smash-shit-up-because-the-world-sucks kind of way. So if you have the time, I strongly suggest you go see a cool Sacramento band.

THE TRUCK HAS RETURNED TO ME! I never realized how much I consider that thing to be like an actual entity. It's the only car I've ever seriously driven so I have a lot of sentimental feelings toward it. Anyway, I smile when I think about having a car again because that means I should actually be seeing people again.

Listen to the first minute of Moby Dick and tell me that Led Zeppelin wasn't one of the greatest rock and roll bands of all time.

Every time I see new pictures by that random girl on Myspace, I kind of want to marry her. Some of her stuff is kind of typical, but most of it seems very well thought out. It's not that it's drastically different from anything I've ever seen, but she takes great shots of downtown that don't even look like downtown.

Before I die I'm going to find a photographer that I really like to take my portrait.

If you're reading this, random girl, this is an invitation to go downtown and walk around taking pictures. We can talk about our mutual love of saturation and high contrast black-and-white, and why we think Canon is so awesome even after they let everybody down by releasing the 30D.

Bunch of motherfuckers is all they are. I hope they all burn in the ring of hell set aside for those who harm others with small print and their own ignorance.

Golden 1, here I come.
