Jaded

Been feeling quite bored and depressed the last few days. I do not know why. Tired. Jaded. I’ll be helping a friend shoot her flower arrangements for a competition tomorrow morning and my camera batteries has not been charged yet. Duh! I’ve gotta make sure I remember doing so tonight.

Here’s a photo I dug outta my HDD and gave it some post-processing work …

Received an email last night from Shutterstock, a micro-stock photo site that I used to upload some of my photos to earn some extra pocket money. Well I don’t have many photos in there, so earning a couple of hundreds every now and then is good enough to help pay some online purchases. That email I received indicated that one of my photo which was downloaded by a client was involved in some settlement between Shutterstock and the client, and thus they will be pumping in some money into my account for that. Cool! Today I noticed an extra US$28 in my Shutterstock account! Cool! You might say that’s just a small amount but it’s such little money that makes up the final payable amount in micro-stock photography sites.

I just got paid a couple of weeks ago by Shutterstock and I burned the money on some DVDs that I ordered online.

Hope I can find some time to give my film cams some workout this weekend. Two rolls of slides for a double exposure collaboration with a friend in Japan has been waiting for days for me to shoot the first exposure but I’ve been too weak to even load them into my cameras.

Not sure what I need to give me the ‘kick’ … so that I can be up and alive again. Maybe shooting some photos? Maybe some sleep? Maybe some beer? I don’t know. Thinking of bringing Fitzand to the zoo this weekend and hopefully a fun trip there might cheer me up again.

  1. *pat pat* dun let the blues get you down. Be sure to go onto the boat ride at the zoo, it’s rather scenic. 🙂

  2. @irorus : Thanks. 🙂 I’m trying hard to get back on track. I hope I’ll be fine when I wake up tomorrow. Boat ride? Not sure if Fitzand will enjoy that. Hahaha. He’d rather spend hours at the carousel and those kiddy ride thingie.

  3. Yay! You got the “Argue with a Tree” DVD concert! I loved it! Funny thing, I bought the Argue With a Tree CD before I bought any other Blue October CDs, not realizing when I purchased it that it was a concert CD. I usually hate concert CDs because they never sound as good as the studio versions, but this CD is a huge exception. There are songs on the concert CD that I love even more than the studio versions.

  4. @Jer : Thanks. Well I guess I’ll be fine tomorrow. Had a couple of beers just now and I’m gonna plug into Nirvana and wake up fine … I hope. 😀

    @Lo : Yeah! I can’t wait to receive the DVD. I love the live CD set and I’m sure the DVD will make the awesome experience complete.

  5. i guess its a jaded week,,,,, here at home we got 1 jaded camel and 1 jaded shroom
