Well hello, to any of you who come around this blog of mine. I'm back from Cali, as much as I wish I wasn't. .. It was my first time traveling alone, and to be honest.. I wasn't nervous at all. My biggest concern was getting seated to some weird freaks but I ended up being by some pretty decent people and I was so excited to finally be home again. On my way back to Oklahoma, i got a shocking text from my mom apologizing that I had to come back and she added that maybe i'll be able to save money and move back. Maybe she's realizing that California is where my heart is, and where I belong and that as much as she doesn't want to, she's ready to let me go when my time comes to leaving the nest. Many memories were made on my trip. It had it's hectic moments, and it may have gotten in the way of things but hey, things happen. Even though it's only been a few days of being here, I already miss staying out til 4 in the morning eating junk food and listening to music and talking about everything. To be honest, that was my favorite part of my trip. And of course seeing family was a great feeling to have again, even if it was for just a little bit. I didn't get as many shots or the type I wanted to, but here's a few from my two weeks of being home.

So this guy tried taking my Jamba Juice. He claims to be a writer trying to get his name out there. He offered to read his works but there was a catch, you had to donate something. And thats when he started saying "I'll take some jamba" I was confused and took one of his poems, so I offered to snap a photo of him |

Visited Johnny at the Hollywood Forever Cemetary |
My next trip will be a one-way to stay and start my life. I know it won't be easy but i'm willing to try despite certain opinions. It's my life, I need to live it my way. I need to learn my own mistakes. And I need to do it for myself.
Look out for my film shots, posting soon.
