G'bye Kodak, you were great while you lasted but it's better this way. See, I am
going to save up my pennies and some day I'm going to buy a better camera. One
younger than you, much sexier, more fun to be around... you know, actually PUTS OUT
instead of clamming up with nothing to show for it, like you do. *sigh Ya... it's over
between us. I'm sorry but you broke my heart and shattered my dreams.
I'm a survivor though... I always have been. I will endure this hardship as I have every hardship to date. I will be okay without you. So g'bye Kodak... g'bye.
After much prompting by my contacts and friends to make
prints available of my work, I'm going to do exactly that and
try and solve my cameraless existence. Please feel free to
browse a few of my pieces on flickrworks.com/azredheadedbrat.htm. Someone
once offered me $100 towards a new camera, but I didnt feel
right accepting... however, buying a print is absolutely acceptable!
That way we both win :) ANY image on my site can be made
available for printing, just let me know which one is your favorite
and I'll add it to FlickrWorks :)
If you've always wanted to sell prints of your own, contact
the owner Ken and he will look over your work and discuss
an account with you. Tell him I sent 'cha!

The Carpenters - Breakin' up Is hard to do
They say that breakin' up
Is hard to do
Now I know, I know
That it's true
Don't say that this is the end
Instead of breakin' up
I wish that we were makin' up again
I beg of you
Don't say good-bye
Can't we give our love
Another try
Come on baby
Lets start a new
Breakin' up is hard to do
This is the gap that has been growing during all the Christchurch earthquakes. It is between Robbie's Restaurant and the car park in New Brighton.
Today, The Rogue Players is shutting its doors. I don't know exactly when I discovered this wonderful group, but it was sometime early on in my 365 of 2010. The group themes provided a lot of inspiration and the members provided a ton of encouragement and support that helped me to reach my goal of finishing.
I have met so many people through TRP (either directly or indirectly) that I now consider friends. I have had the great pleasure to meet several people in person. It's a little ironic that the final theme is breaking up since the group and it's members helped me through a bad breakup last year. You lifted me, you encouraged me and you cared about me. And for that, I will forever be grateful.
The good news for me is that I have you all as Contacts and will still see your streams and will still be able to communicate. I still hope to meet many more of you. Sadly for newcomers (like I was last year), they won't have the privilege of meeting you all together in the same place for the same fun that I was lucky enough to have for over a year now.
I want to say a huge thank you to the admins who have run The Rogue Players. They took time out of their lives to keep everything running smoothly, to step in when someone missed a day and to spread good cheer. Thank you!!!! It's already past my bedtime and I will comment on all of your goodbye photos in the next few day.
I'm going to miss this wonderful group!

Flickr is falling apart into factions. The Yahoo faction is going off the cliff and the Flickr faction will fly away to distant skies. What does the future hold for Flickr From Yahoo?

Paltrow talked of her love of cigarettes, which she has given up.
Her father, Bruce Paltrow, who died in 2002, had been undergoing radiotherapy for oral cancer.
She continued: "Once you have children, if you've witnessed a death like I did with my father, you just can't.
"I'd never want to put them through what I went through. So I don't do it.
"But I've decided that when I'm about 70 I'm going to start smoking again."
www.independent.co.uk/news/people/news/paltrow-ross-joke-...
And Paltrow is adamant that although she hates the health effects of cigarettes, she would happily go back to the habit if she could.
She tells British Elle magazine, "I miss it. The last cigarette I smoked was the day I found out I was pregnant with Apple. I had to sit down and smoke one final cigarette. It's such a beautiful thing. I'm so p**sed off it gives you cancer. Cigarettes were my upper, they were my downer. I would think with them, write with them. I just love them so much.
"But then, once you have children, if you've witnessed a death like I did with my father, you just can't.
"But I've decided that when I'm about 70 I'm going to start smoking again. Why not? I can't wait!'"

We can all count ourselves "the lucky ones...." to have experienced love at sometime in our lives. It fit like a perfectly tailored suit knowing what to emphasize and more importantly what NOT to. It was everything. It brought joy, those warm contented feelings of a comfortable love where as we wake each day we knew someone is there to walk with us, care about us, and share with us. It created and played out those Hallmark moments we grew up with. It even transformed some of us. We became full of pride, of place and how we fit into the larger scheme of things as expressed by our media and genetics. Love brought with it the amazing adventures and self exploration of our lustfull side. That secret taboo tucked away part we rarely share with anyone we knew. It was easier to explore it with a one night fling or fuck buddy because who cared what they thought. It was about you. Yet love allowed us to share that part of us and explore it and not worry about what the other thought. Ahhh, Love is Great! But love has a much more darker side that is rarely discussed. That part of it provided by the mere physics of nature and balance; what goes up must come down; to have happiness you have to have experienced ............. you know what Im saying. Love also brings with it a total bewilderment, a loss, devastation and ache like no other when it bids you adieu. One so big and overwhelming you just want to die because you cant imagine going on. No one ........... and I mean NO ONE .... prepares you for that part. Its kept like some dirty little family secret tucked away and never discussed. Is it some f@*ked up crazy form of initiation that society allows us to fall in love but will not tell you that the fall out of love could possibly drive you mad or kill you? Come on.........me, Mr Conservative would have thought at least twice before I jumped in with both feet. I would have jumped in anyway who am I kidding Lol ! But if youre one of the lucky ones to have survived the fall into AND out of love ....... when you least expected it to .............. and the passage of time has eased the pain, hurt, and loss and erased the resentment you once seethed with then count yourself lucky.......thats right Lucky! Call me a fool for love but I would do it all over again and again and again. My love was Paul and when I rose each day with him by my side I ruled my world. Kindness was not a virtue but mandatory in all aspects of life and I honestly was a better person not because of him but because I was with him. Will I find that again? Not a chance! I'll find other loves Im sure of it. But Paul had a special quality ...... an aura of almost magic ...........that I still cant name or put my finger on. Yet, when it illuminated my life, even after the parting of ways, through that whole messy wonderful experience called Love ........it made me find me and who I was in this journey called Life. Thank you Paul.

It's a sad day over at The Rogue Players. They (we) are officially closed for business. I thought this photo was somewhat appropriate, if not cheesy.
Here is the other part of the story...
Our road is closed. I cannot go West more than a few houses. The babysitter lives West of us. Target is West of us. To get most places, you head West from our place. Needless to say, it's a pain in the a$$!!!! To make matters worse, people disregard the signage! There are several signs that say, "Road Closed" (at least three), and there is even a sign that says "Do Not Enter". But everyday, car after car try to get through. Then, they either 1) turn around in someone's driveway (you can actually see that someone is doing that in this photo) or 2) back all the away back out. Also important, no matter what, all of the cars go WAY TOO FAST. You cannot see it very well in this photo, but toward the right side of this, there is a one lane road, with a drop off to what you see here. Today, a rusted out Astro van with to young men in it decided to try their luck. After getting to the REALLY-closed-you-cannot-go-any-further-dead-end-place, they decided to back out...very quickly. They ended up going over the edge (about 2 feet or so, maybe more). So, the back two tires were over the edge, and the rest of the car was on the [closed] road. This was directly in front of my picture window (blocking anyone from entering my driveway, but also blocking other illiterate idiots from trying to head down the [closed] road). It was amusing...but also annoying!

First ReRelease - They used the Sleeve Design from 1972 - this is a release after 1976. You can see it because of the LC (Label Code) number. The LC code was invented at the second half of 1976.
We gave away some great gift bags, and thanks to everyone who put in tickets! (As an aside, isn't it funny that Casey is TEN and I'm, well, MUCH older, yet we're almost the same height? LOVE that! I borrowed her hat, too).
Terri and I met Kat at a teen writing workshop at Koebel library last November, and she's been such a fun email buddy since then. She showed us great support by bringing her friends Joanna and Emily. We love these girls!

Drinks with friends shortly after my big breakup... I slept on couches for about a month after this...
This was a fun night.. We were killing time until the fireworks started, but we got so drunk we forgot about them until we heard the big explosions...
This is a kid who used to be, uh, well, in preschool. Now he towers over me and he's a TEENAGER. Whazzup with that??? He's a doll!
