well this past week I did some photos of my friend ryan, this is him! I had a big scare yesterday which could have possibly ruined my life. My computer took a shit and wasnt detecting my hardrive. I thought I lost all my photos and music. sucked but today it started woorking and I got my external harddrive so I backed everything up so that if dell ends up fucking up their shitty computers again than I guess it wont be a total loss. Well warped tour and chicago this weekend. should be fun, Love, Tony Quote "It has always been my rule never to smoke when asleep, and never to refrain when awake. ~Mark Twain"

well alots been going on in the life of mystelf. I got kicked out of my house for beating up my stepdad and now I am living with my girlfriends parents. Its dope though, they are fucking awesome, in other news I am now going to college and without a co-signer. after months of hard work I finally found a loop hole. I can only go part time for the first year because my finances will not allow me to buy all the supplies and go to school full time. so I start full time in the summer. but hey at least I get to do this stuff for the rest of my life now. I recently did the first set of photos for my mom who asked me to do some senior picture esque photos of him. I feel confident that I did a good job. The second set of pictures were for my friends band called the clergymen which are two of my good friends from sterling illinois. I start school sept. 8th and boy oh boy am I glad to be saying those words. unfortunately im not looking forward to working a full time job to pay rent but I guess if thats what I have to do to make my life better then I will do that. oh and go check out the ghost of eddie murphy on myspace they are sick. til next time, Tony Quote- "The gyms you go to are crowded with guys trying to look like men, as if being a man means looking the way a sculptor or an art director says." ~Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club, Chapter 6

missouri

well yesterday I went to missouri to watch my friend graduate from basic. it was a pretty fun day but unreal that my friend is now a solider. well when we picked him up we took him to wendys then we went to ruby tuesdays and he ate again. After buying some fireworks and throwing them out the windows as we went down the road we went to mcdonalds so my friend could eat again. it was fun we went to see dont mess with the zohan which was very humorous. especially when my pop exploded on me twice. well after that ordeal we went to taco bell and then took him back to base so that he could be shipped off today. it was nice seeing my friend who i hadnt seen in months and now i have to wait another six weeks to see him again. here are some pictures I took that day with some of my friends and I with him.

Its a new day

well yesterday I went to the river and took pictures of my girlfriend, her beauty is somthing that I feel I need to capture more. As of late I have been at a loss on how I am going to further my education. I cant find a cosigner and I feel like everyone wants me to go to college but they just dont want to help me with getting there. life sometimes feels like a really sad movie where you have good times but yet they still dont outweigh the sadness in a persons life. A movie where those tear jerker moments happen more often than the smile in the actors face. I feel like my life right now would be a movie my relatives would go see and cry at but when they leave they would say to eachother wow I cant believe no one helped that poor kid go to college and try to make his life and his childrens lives better. I think family is just a support system without the obligations of a caring person. they say that they care and that they are there for you through everything but when your down and out and you need someone to help you I mean really help you and they are not there then you begin to question wether or not they are telling you the truth about how much they care for you and wether they really have your back through it all. family is a joke and so is financial aid. fuck you mom.

Well this is the last full week of class until finals, I cant wait to start summer classes. This semester went by so fast and I cant say im sad to see it go. I have made so many memories and friends along the path and I hope to see them later on in life. I am going to court on the 9th hopefully all goes well there. I also get a flash studio to use at my own exposal all summer so better images will be coming soon. I am doing a new series for my personal fun it is similar to lachapelle type photography so I am really excited to see the finished photos. I didnt take this photograph I just did the editing which was so hard because this photo was taken with such a poor camera. I am proud of it though.
