How is life going?
It's OT but after todays events and Christmas coming up I'm wondering. Is life treating you well? Life going according to plan?

Don't talk to me about life... -Marvin- Dec 11 05 07:51 pm Link You're not suppose to plan your life. It never goes the way you want it to, that's why you have to live life day by day. Dec 11 05 08:03 pm Link I agree with above.... I'd love to plan the comings and goings of my life but I think that I enjoy the nature of the beast. The continual not knowing what next. I own one business and am starting to venture into a new one.... I'm excited for what I think my life has in store for me . Happy Holidays all!

I suppose the holidays always give me a reason to reflect and I find myself feeling much gratitude for the things I "have" rather than the things I don't have. I'm also trying to see things through my children's eyes. They have a way of keeping things so simple and refreshing! Last week when we experienced our first snowfall in Chicago my first instinct was to quietly bitch about how this was going to effect the morning commute and there were my little ones planted in front of the window simply mezmorized that white fluffies were falling from the sky. Made me take a step back, smile, dig out my old snow boots and enjoy some time in the white fluffy stuff with them. Ok, somehow I've wandered off topic but.....yes, life I all I expected. Sure it's riddled with happiness as well as sorrow but it always has a way of balancing itself out. I'm just thrilled to be alive I guess! I'm thrilled I have a healthy family and friends whom I love dearly and 2 amazing preschooler who constantly remind me to appreciate life and all it's simplicity. I hope the rest of you are experiencing happiness and fulfillment this holiday season. Elle Dec 11 05 08:18 pm Link Elle wrote: I was actually there for a shoot during that snowfall. The other models thought I was nuts because it was my FIRST snowfall and I was as giddy as a little schoolgirl! (to top it off, it was my first time in Chicago) Dec 11 05 08:21 pm Link Brandon, it really is amazing, isn't it? So glad you were able to experience your first snow fall in such a magnificent city! Dec 11 05 08:24 pm Link Elle wrote: Unfortunately we don't get to experience much white here in SoCal so it was absolutely amazing. I don't think I've ever experienced that true Christmas feeling like the evening there. I can't wait to get the photos back as we've got some great ones near the various Christmas trees, on Lakeshore Dr, and Michigan Avenue. I'm sure my giddiness reflected...hehe Dec 11 05 08:27 pm Link Brandon Smith wrote: I'm with you there. I do not see ANY snow in Phoenix. Dec 11 05 08:30 pm Link I'm looking forward to seeing those images too! Christmas is so huge here. Thanksgiving isn't over for 1 day and the Christmas lights are up on all of the streets downtown and the store front windows on Michigan Ave. It's really amazing to see how much beauty, money and effort is put into the decorations in the city! They make it look so magical! Glad you felt the holiday spirit here! Dec 11 05 08:32 pm Link We did have hail in San Diego a few years back that made all the roads white so it was kinda like snow! But in reality to have snow here is ... well it would be like the end of the world considering that most Californian's go nuts when there is water of any kind on the road.

I was in Boston last December before their snowfall and I can't tell you how disappointed as the weather channel predicted snow. But yes, kudos to your city for putting on such a brilliant show for the tourists!! :-) Dec 11 05 08:34 pm Link My parents live in San Diego. It's certainly a nice place to be.

The one thing I really love about the big Cosmopolitain cities is that they have public transportation systems that function well. SD, we're just stuck in cars all the time.

Dec 11 05 10:35 pm Link This has been a bad year for employment, and a good year for personal: I am on my 6th day job this year, spent a total of about 7 months unemployed, plundered into debt and now coming out of it just to get in deeper. However, this year I also met my current gf, best event of my life, and now i feel like my high school english teacher was right when she said "one day you'll find a girl who'll make you less cynical, you'll finally start to smile at something other than lude and raunchy joke, you'll get married and pop out a bunch of kids by your 10 year reunion" hope i am proven wrong in my attitude from junior year highschool Dec 12 05 03:49 am Link ADGibson wrote: Can't complain when I look beyond the daily routine. No, it's not going according to plan. Is it ever? Dec 12 05 11:01 am Link Life is good. Thank you for asking. I hope yours is, too.

I expect to be in much better shape next year, as hard as I'm working right now to improve my lot in life. Dec 12 05 02:09 pm Link So what would you what about those New Years resolutions? What have you resolved to do? For me it's buy a bigger home and kick this photography thing into high gear. Dec 13 05 05:49 pm Link My resolution is to not have any resolutions. And besides, for me new years was on Oct. 31st. So there. -P- Dec 13 05 07:58 pm Link ADGibson wrote: Fantastic. I am truely blessed! Dec 13 05 08:07 pm Link ADGibson wrote: Great topic! Dec 14 05 04:46 pm Link life is good a bit busy but good  Dec 14 05 07:59 pm Link ADGibson wrote: Well, I worked for the DNC and shortly after Clinton left office, I was out of a job. That was back in early 2001, and I have not been gainfully employed since. The most economic prosperity I've had was while under the Clinton administration. It's hard to get work when you're a democrat ... with no government support! However I have become happily "self-unemployed" and I do see the light at the end of the tunnel. Dec 14 05 08:23 pm Link It sucked for a long time. Then it was good for awhile. But the suckage has returned. Dec 14 05 08:31 pm Link Life is good to me no matter what. Atleast I know I'm living and doing something. Too bad this cold won't go away. Yet I have that sexy voice like Phoebe from Friends did. lol Dec 14 05 08:35 pm Link Life is grand.... Dec 15 05 07:44 am Link 50/50 i suppose. life was fantastic around a month ago. always on the move, gig's, bands, new friends, new job, "industry standard" work at college, got the work placement i wanted (college...like being an intern), and even now got lots of great stuff going on and a lot of new people and new things in my life, hey and 2 shoots in one day. but feeling quite overwhelmed by all the things i have to do and christmas...man don't even mention it, i hate it with a firey passion. and december is always the worst month for money, i dunno where it goes, all i ever seam to do is work and get nothing for it...it's the curse of december! hope you're all well and have a great christmas and new year.
