Wel...yesterday I came to a blinding realization....
One can not live life without a body.
For probably about the last 2-3 months I have been living on 1 meal a day and about 4 hours of sleep a night. I have just been spending so much time on other things whether it be school, work, pleasure, spirituality, etc. that I guess I just learned to live with it. It was going great till last night...
I have been cramming in school work at home where I can and yesterday there was a crunch for a critique that I had this morning. I was taking breaks from working on it to get my mind in the right places and not go crazy, but I last night I guess it wasn't enough and I hit rock bottom. I passed out face down at my desk when I was working at my computer. Pure exhaustion and when I woke up I just knew it was over and something had to change.
I'm still not sure if I blacked out or if I just feel asleep, but either way it was enough to help me realize I need to start taking care of my body and not just my mind and heart.
I left school early today, skipping figure/anatomy
I really didn't want to but I have to close tonight so I have about 3 hours to sleep and try and get some energy back so I can manage at work tonight. I went and saw my teach, she told me to "hurry the fuck up and go rest!" haha she is sooooo fucking cool. She knows I wouldn't ever miss that class so if I was comming to her to say I wasn't going to be there, it must be serious. She asked if I was feeling bad, I said yes, and it was done.
Well, I'm gonna stop talking now and get some rest before work. I hope I feel better tomorrow because I have to go to the museum tomorrow after school to research some works.
Until next time, keep on rockin'

I was working with fairy tale imagery for some self-portraits, so yes, sometimes I do play roles. But, sometimes it starts a role playing and ends up looking like my real self. B&W photography is my main medium, although I use it a bit more for shooting things other than self-portraits. If you're interested, you can see my portfolio at www.exuberantphoto.com.
