Long Story Short News!!

lol... so if ya'll don't know.. Me and Carla Teixeira have formed an informal band, as in when we get together, we play songs and tinker around a bit on our own. Above is our first official band picture.. lol well it could be... Well anyways, we have a song that's just missing a first verse.. Here it is!

And I feel foolish,

For letting these feelings get to me

It's not as if, this is my first crush

But there is something

About you that makes me think

That maybe, just maybe this could be love

CHORUS

Because one look from you

And the world stops turning

My hands start to shake

My stomache is churning

I wish that I had enough

Courage to say

The feelings that I have for you

They just won't go away..

3rd VERSE

But I keep wishing

Upon every shooting star

To fall for someone

As special as you are

And maybe someday

If our paths would just cross

We'll know what it's like

To be lost in LOOOOOOOOVVVVEEEE!!

CHORUS

And I start to think

That we could never be together

But then you say

"Come with me,

Take my hand

And we'll Fall into Forever!"

So yeah anyways... All we're missing is a first verse.. I can't think of one...

Video or no Video? Ok then.. Lyrics!!

Hmm.. Could I possibly add a video? Let's try.

Dangit... I can't.. well this stinks.... :(( So I thought since that didn't work, I'd put up some lyricy stuff.... It doesn't all go together.. they're just possible lyrics for future songs that will probably never be made! YAY!

And all this rain is washing away the tears I shed when you broke my heart…
And as much as I wish I could go back and we could restart…
I know I can’t take this pain anymore…
I can’t take the thought of being put through this torture again…
Maybe we weren’t meant for eachother, maybe we were supposed to find another…
How was I supposed to know that all you said was a lie…
Did you ever really love me…
Was I just a pawn in your sick, twisted game of Chess…
Is that even a heart beating in your chest…
Or is that just the beat, the rhythm of your deception…
Stay away from the boy with the sinister smile…
Sitting here with a daisy in my hand…
He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me, he loves me not…
Always the same ending…
He loves me not…
So now as these tears I cried, are rolling down my cheeks…
I wonder if there was ever a time I felt this weak…
So I write this on my hand…
Peace, love, all of the above…
After him I locked my heart and threw away the key…
But then you came and you, you broke the lock to my heart…
Let’s face it, you never really wanted me…
It’s like I was the shiny new toy…
Pretty soon, the shine was gone...
The toy was used, and worn…
Gone with yesterday’s trash… What do you do when even chocolate fails you... Family's gone and friends are nowhere around...

Like it or hate it? I guess it doesn't matter because no one ever looks at my blog... :((

Photo Assignment 3

Here I used the Oilify filter, and then the Riple filter.












For this one, I used the Sharpening filter.

Photo Assignment 2

I accomplished this using 2 layers. The first was the background, with which I used the Mosaic filter, and then used Color Curves to make it darker. Then I used the brush tool and speckled green around it. The Font was accomplished by using the pattern Blue Squares, and then using the Glass Tile filter over it.










This was done in much the same way as the first, but instead of a filter, I used a pattern. Then I put a drop shadow under the word.











Once again, this was done the same way. The few differences were made by using a brush on the background, then using the Cubism filter, and adding random spots of white that you cannot see unless you look really close. Then the font pattern was accomplished by using the Blue Sky pattern.
This picture was made by taking a picture, inverting the color, tweaking it a bit with Color Curves, and then using the Cartoonism filter.

Digital Photography assignment

This picture was accomplished by pasting my cropped head with a new layer, turning down the opacity, and blurring the edges.















This picture was made by making a transparent layer, then outlining a picture of a hot dog with ketchup and mustard.











Here is a picture made possible by 9 different layers, and 9 different filters. I can't remember all of them but most of them are Oilify, Glass Tile, Neon, Wind, Whirl, and Ripple.














Here is another picture that was accomplished much like the first one. The only difference is that with this one, I made the entire picture blue.

My Portfolio

This lovely pic is my gorgeous friend Carla. She is playing her awesome guitar Zerrick. But what is this?? Is Zerrick being haunted???















This lovely pic is of a hot dog, with a squirt of ketchup and mustard for the eyes. My wonderful friend Heather was the inspiration for this.













Here is a photo assignment. Most of these are actual pics of what my face looks like with different emotions. I like to call the top middle one "my dream sequence"















Here is a true picture. I took it when I was in the Amazon. This AWESOME flying fish is said to have a gorgeous face, and well, just look at it!!

OMIGOSH!!!!

I cannot believe I didn't write about the 4-wheeling accident. Okay this is what happened. My brother, cousin, and I were all on this big 4-wheeler. My brother was driving (stupid, I know, to let my brother drive my first time out there.) He was going super fast, and we were on gravely roads on a mountain. There were edges all around us. All of a sudden we come to a turn. Here everything gets fuzzy. Somehow the two right tires are off of the road. WE START TIPPING! Keep in mind that this is a mountain.
My cousin flies off, but lands right in the path of the falling vehicle. My brother and I are still clutching onto the 4-wheeler. I let go, while being crushed by a bunch of pounds of whatever 4-wheelers are made of. Next thing I know, I'm halfway buried under sticks and branches, while my cousin screams at me and my brother to get up. I look to my right and see the 4-wheeler stuck in some bushes. No sign of my brother.
Then I see his legs, poking out from underneath the 4-wheeler!!! I start freaking out, thinking he's unconcious or worse, dead. Until he starts kicking me in the head, telling me to get him out. Good thing I had a helmet on. My cousin looks at me, her face hysterically covered in tears, cuts on her arms, legs, and back. I'm still in a state of shock, so I can't really move (that and the fact that my right arm was buried, and if I moved it, it would get deeper cuts). I finally pull myself together, and my cousin says she's going to get help. I tell her to stop, and try and pull my phone out of my pocket.
I find a way to safely pull my arm out of the branches, and call my dad. I frantically tell him that he needs to come get us, and that Carter (my brother) is stuck. He says he'll be right there. Meanwhile, my cousin trudges to the top of the hill and flags down a passing 4-wheeler. It turns out to be another cousin Beau. He shook his head in disbelief as she related to him the events that had just occured. Then he saw Carter, and scrambled down to see what he could do.
By this time, I am able to reach the top of the hill. I look at where we were before we fell, and realize that if we had gone even two feet further before we fell, there would've been nothing to stop us until we reached the very bottom of the mountain. That was a scary thought.
Eventually my dad, grandpa, and a few uncles show up with a saw and a towing line, to get the 4-wheeler up. Thankfully my brother is ok. I vowed to never go on a 4-wheeler again. However, I might if it's on flat ground, and I'm driving. I still have the scars on my arm, though they are fading a bit.
