| Testing webcam for next weeks trip |
[02 Aug 2009|01:12pm] |
For those who don't know i am moving back to Ohio for the time being next week.
I will be webcasting the entire 17 hour drive. So if you want to see me singing along with the radio, occasionally nodding off and almost killing myself and maybe getting pulled over, you'll have that opportunity.
This is only a test. The full link will follow.

| A final prayer... |
[12 Jul 2009|06:41pm] |
Please God let this be a completely honest exchange so we can move forward with unconditional love and a desire to understand our flaws better so that we may work together to treat each other as we deserve to be treated.
I don't often pray with a request in mind.
But this time I need your help.
Thanks God.
Love,
Brian

Other than sporadic tweets this is my first entry in a long time.
I'm not sure what it should say.

I texted Katie one more time this morning and heard nothing, so I had to file the police report.
Even though it turns out she has been involved in similar situations before, I felt so bad as I was talking to the cop.
I used to be as careless with such friends in my life. I moved out of more than one apartment leaving bills behind. In jerp's case I had even taken his bill money.
I am so glad my life has changed so much in the last two years. Back then I would have been afraid to call the police because I always felt guilty and afraid of them.
So it's good I don't have to fear that anymore, but very sad I had a reason to call them in the first place.

For those of you who know Katie Cowden, this will probably come as a big surprise to you.
It did to me.
But Katie has taken about $500 worth of my photo studio equipment as her very own. During the Lady Liberty event (in July!) we asked Katie to take photos. I taught her how to use the strobes and umbrellas and told her she could take them home after the event and play with them since they were sitting in my closet doing nothing.
I have tried a couple of times to get them back. Just casually saying, Oh, I'm going to need those back someday. I'll let you know when I really NEED them."
Finally I told her I HAD to pick them up from her. I sent her multiple messages on Facebook and even asked on her wall if I could stop by last weekend.
She de-friended me and removed the post. I left her a message on her answering machine and texted her and she has ignored it all entirely.
I let her know that if I did not get them back from her this weekend I would call the police and report them stolen on Monday.
Tomorrow is Monday.
It sucks and I hate it. Since it is over $500 worth of stuff it would be considered a felony. Katie has always been a good person and a decent friend as far as I know. She is an excellent photographer, that I do know for sure.
But this studio equipment was an investment in MY studio business from back in 2005 and since I am looking for contracts again I need my setup.
What would you do?

I did something awful today. I did something that betrayed the trust of someone. Even though I didn't know them well, I know they did not deserve to be treated with such disrespect.
I did the "promptly admitted it" thing. But that doesn't really make feel any better. I think the "When we were wrong promptly admitted it" is a wonderful policy by which to live your life.
But I think it only applies to when you couldn't see what you were doing was harmful to them. What happens when you know something is wrong, but you lack control of your impulses and do it anyway.
You can admit you are wrong. I'm sorry doesn't cut it though. I guess there is some hope in that I feel absolutely horrible. There was a time when that wasn't the case. So I am glad those days are gone for me.
But I am sad that I still do things that I have to be ashamed of. And I am sad that there is really nothing I can do to make it better.
I guess sometimes you just do things wrong. Sometimes you hurt people around you. And the only thing I can do is try to learn from my mistake. Try to remember how bad it felt to betray the trust of another human being.
But for now I just want to cry.
