Just Your Run of the Mill Brain Dump

We interrupt this Skating the River to pet a purring cat on my keyboard.

(Pets Jezebel for two minutes) 

Okay, I'm back. This post is going to be more of a brain dump. 

I use Squarespace because I was a big fan of Peter McKinnon's hair. I tried to grow my hair as long as his, but it didn't look as cool. I failed miserably growing my hair when I was going for the Anson Mount from Hell on Wheels. I'm not as tall as Anson.  

So yesterday, I learned a little about SEO and tweaked my website a tad with the suggestions. I also started Google Analytics. 

I haven't made my website public or this blog. I'm going to have to do it soon. I need to remember that this blog or website will never be perfect. 

Every day the picture of what I want to do becomes a little clearer, but I don't know if I have the time or the money to do it. 

I pitched Lucy an idea yesterday, so we'll see if she bites. But, here in lies the rub, she isn't the only one I'll have to convince. 

Part of me thinks its is now or never. Which is dumb to believe, but the thought is there anyway. 

Why did I order a Rosary again and not use it? 

My Sony A74 is my only camera. Right now, I'm training with a 50mm lens. It's scary carrying it around everywhere because if something were to happen to it, I'd be dead in the water. 

I miss hanging out with my brother, Eric. So yes, I might have to watch the Cowboy's home opener. He'll watch the game, and I'll watch the sports photographers on the sideline. 

I like shooting Rugby and wonder if the Geoff Report buys photos? 

It's been forty-eight hours, and this one company I interviewed for hasn't called back. Part of me thinks if it's taken this long, it's probably not going to happen. 

There's another tip I ran into last night. The side hustle for my primary business, youth sports photography, would be my art photography. 

It would be great if I felt I had something to say today. (Have you read my blog?) 

Grammarly has vastly improved my writing. Thank you, Grammarly. 

Can I make this work? Is it possible? I'm not going to lie, and I'm a tad nervous. 

The crux is that I like working for other people, but I would love to be in business. For some reason, I can't envision a life without a steady paycheck. It's weird. 

But I know I want to try. 

I need to print more. 

I need to get better at the video. 

Somedays, you wake up having nothing to say (especially when you make your life public), but I would say trudge through it. 

I had this problem this morning. My mind was just -- blank. 

 So I was just brain-dumped.

We'll see what today holds. 

Plus, I'm working on my formating and short sentences.
