Multi-faceted us

Every day is different. Every day is a learning experience. And every day is also utterly beautiful. I don’t mean that in some esoteric way, I mean it literally. Though we go through bad things throughout a given day, we also go through some more or less, equally good experiences too. The responses and how one deals with those experiences, whether bad or good, are entirely left up to us.

The last post I wrote about “Emotional Intelligence,” that was a bit esoteric, that is to say, that it related to some people I spend a reasonable chunk of my time with. As humans, and persons of various permutations of cultural and subcultural sensibilities, we are different, and not everyone will get along all of the time. Stating that fact, me personally, I get reserved and withdrawn when something is on my mind. I will also deflect and try to use a downward comparison to achieve some higher ground vantage point. Some battles, however small, need not an engagement. More simply put, each of us should pick our battles smartly.

To give a bit of insight to myself, I chose — to be explained below — routes like my current one because I only have a certain amount of mental energy to dedicate, and I would instead devote it efficiently to matters I value in the long term.

I recently made a decision to raise money for a new camera. Not just a small consumer based camera, but one to do media projects for companies until I gather enough money to shoot my own indie films. Yeah, most people may think that I am slightly full of fluffy dreams, but most people are not in my shoes. I want to make things in my life memorable.

The camera is either between a Red Raven or a C200. Both these cameras shoot on a 4k resolution scale. But that’s just one aspect of some of the things I keep as goals. I want to be utterly freelance working by the time the year 2018 ends. Working solely on my laptop.

In the meantime, some of the ways I will raise money outside of merely working part-time, I recently printed some teeshirts, and I’m working on printing some of my photographs taken over the years on canvas to build some ancillary income as well.

But that’s all I want to write about tonight. Just follow this link, and it’ll lead you to my website to purchase some of my products! I’ll write some more and give you guys some updates later on…

For now, I’m outty! Later.
