Man, I’ve been ignoring the blog for quite a while.  Not that I haven’t had lots on my mind, I’ve just been busy or just didn’t feel like posting some of the thoughts that I’ve had.   But so far, 2010 is getting off to a good start.  Here’s why…

The recent drama that I’ve been having lately with a certain person has been squashed.  For quite a while, I was pretty upset and angry about the things that were said and the fallout that resulted.  There are still some other people who are obviously holding their opinion on the matter based on what little information they have and formulating theories in their own heads, but that’s on them.  My friend apologized for what she said and I didn’t hesitate to accept.   I even shed a tear on the way home just thinking about it.  And to tell you the truth, it takes a LOT of strength to approach somebody and apologize.  I can’t hate on that at all.

My brother was also in town over the weekend to see his daughter, so he and his wife, my sister and her husband and my niece all went out to see Avatar.  3rd time seeing a movie which I originally had no interest in initially.  Wow James Cameron, I got to give you credit for making out the doubters believers. But then again, you created Aliens, my favorite movie of all time, so I should have known better.  Please forgive me man!

As far as my photography, I’ve been on pause for a few weeks in order to get some framework down.  Currently working on some backend projects for the websites to handle customer relations management software, project management,  and various other web based tools to assist me in the business and when collaborating with other photographers, makeup artists, and people with great ideas on various projects.  I’ve placed a demo at http://projects.marcellusking.com/demo/dashboard for those interested in taking a look.  All open source, running on Drupal which at the moment is WAY beyond my brainpower at the moment haha.  I think I’ll stick with Joomla for the majority of my projects whenever possible since it’s easier to get going on it even though it isn’t as powerful and feature packed as Drupal. 

As far as being a homeowner, I was a bit worried going into the winter, but it’s been pretty good so far.  No busted pipes, not terribly cold, and no unexpected drama related to the weather.  Well, at least not yet.  But I’m definitely looking forward to the spring season and learning to do a bit of landscaping to really set things off for the following year.

Back to the photography though (Dang, even in my writing, I’m ADD).  I’ve gotten quite a few good shots for the modeling portfolio, which I’ll be combining with the events and sports portfolio’s soon enough, and will soon be looking into doing a couple of weddings before considering the portfolio well rounded enough to get a portfolio book created, which in itself will also be a portfolio.  And on top of that, get a logo designed for my business as well and follow through on getting a tax id.   So many things to do, that’s for sure.  I just need to work on my motivation and really focus on my activities and what needs to be done.

Welp, back to work. Gotta get some things done and hit the sack before getting up in the morning and heading to work.  Peace out!
