unsubscribing.

dear itunes, victoria's secret, netflix, amazon, gap, borders, allposters, bath and body works and wall street journal,

i am seriously thinking of unsubscribing myself. you do sometimes send me great discounts and, i mean, it would be one thing it i received an email from you every other week, or even once a week, but almost every day? come on! not only do i not need to buy the new tuesday music, or the favorite books of the year or the sexiest swim suits of the season, but i do not have the money. when i sign on to my email account and see that i have 8 new emails and its not even 9 in the morning, i think, emails from my family?, emails from my friends?, the position i applied to is letting me know i got the job?, or maybe i even have a new friend request. but no, they are glorified flyers, reminding me of how much clutter there is in the world and how hard it is to get through the morning with out an advertising scheme starring you in the eye. either slow down on the permission marketing or i am going to remove myself from the mailing list.

sincerely,
rcd826

sunflowers.

i need red sox games, summer camp, ice coffee & picnics at ponds. i need the beach & i need newport. i need to fly kites, watch movies on my porch at night, lay on a blanket and look at the stars, go night swimming & camp out in the back yard. i need smores, cookouts & corn on the cob, sun dresses & flip flops. i need bike rides, watermelons, trips to cape cod & trips to new hampshire. i need visits from friends, i need freshly mowed lawns, i need sunflowers i need to people watch, i need ice cream, i need summer.

a short list of loves. spring break issue.

things I feel in love with over the last few days: teal ocean water, white sand, big blow up water slides, palm trees, mexican food, margaritas, bartering, sun tans, bubba kegs, speaking spanish, spider monkeys, katie’s head band, parasailing and a southern boy from ole miss.

ahhhhh, tropical islands.

pictures.

what would we do without pictures. how would we validate the stories we read in the news. how would we remember our memories. how would we decorate our living space? its amazing that there are classes, majors and schools dedicated to teaching people how to take photos. after these first 6 weeks of photography class i was finally able to see some results. i have never appreciated the art of photo taking more than i do now. hours upon hours can be spent shooting and developing a good photo, or a bad one at that. i hope that i enjoy taking photos for the rest of my life. i am looking forward to the subjects of my photos being the same people- the same faces, just getting older and older looking.
