A lot has happened in the last year... A LOT.  Some good, some bad... But so much, in fact, that I doubt I'll even come close to mentioning it all.  Moved a couple times, went through a couple jobs, bought a second car, replaced almost everything under the hood of the other car, made massive progress with myself at the gym, had a few friends and ladies come and go from my life, won a bunch of gear in a guitar competition, started teaching music again, I'm even looking into becoming a certified personal trainer... The list goes on and on.  One thing I've neglected, however, were my submissions here.  That's not to say I haven't been taking pictures; I just haven't particularly made a point of editing photos and getting on here to submit them.

I just submitted 3 "new" pieces... They are, however, all different amounts of old.  I spent a few hours last night going through all my old photography up to my most recent folders, collecting whatever I felt worth submitting.  So, I now have a decently sized folder of submittable work to be edited.  Expect me submitting on a somewhat regular basis from here on out.

In the mean time, feel free to check out my more random array of YouTube video submissions... www.youtube.com/stabtyler



Peace for now, y'all.

I've barely been around.  This, I realize.  I plan on being around here a little more frequently.  I've met a woman... Thus far, she seems to be the girl of my dreams and more.  She's inspiring to me in every way... so I am slowly getting back into my photography, my music, and just all around being far more productive.

At the VERY least, I'd like to upload something every few weeks.  I just tossed up something very recent, as well as something from 2008.  

Does anybody even follow me anymore?  Haha...

Looking back on my last journal entry, circa last summer... I realized I really didn't leave that state of mind until months and months later.

I spent the majority of last year practically ripping my hair out over a girl I was trying desperately to make things work with... Ultimately, I wasted a LOT of time and effort.

I lost that relationship, lost my job, got in a major car accident resulting in the loss of my Subaru, a major concussion, two dislocated shoulders, and severely bruised ribs, aaaaaaand I lost a hard drive with years and years of photos and music I had been working on...

This all happened within maybe 2 months?

Anywho, I feel into a pretty deep depression for a while... and I basically just did a lot of drinking.  I was without a car for a couple months, and eventually jumped on the first car that peaked my interest.

This was a black 2001 Audi Allroad.  I had no intentions on keeping the car much past winter, but DAMN did I ever have fun with it all winter.  It wasn't the greatest looking car, but I got a couple detail shots I want to upload still.

SPEAKING OF UPLOADING, I've got almost 2 dozen shots organized, and mid-editing, and I REALLY want to make a habit of uploading at LEAST one photo a week.  I'll try to do this on Sundays.

This will include the rest of the shots I liked from my trip (Dec. '08; ridiculous, I know), last shots of the Subaru, a couple of the Audi, as well as some other random shite.

As I'd mentioned, I only intended on keeping the Audi for the winter... as of early April, I traded it in on a car I've wanted from high school.  It's nothing special, CERTAINLY a work in progress, but she's fast and she's purdy.

Pics of that to come.


Sorry to anybody who kept watching me since my last submission... umm... whenever the hell that was?  August 2009 apparently... Well, I guess that makes sense in a way.  I got in the car accident right in the middle of August, and my life was a fucking mess for months...

Regardless, I have turned my life around considerably this year.  I haven't been inebriated in any way since the end of December.  I switched up my diet considerably, and have been hitting the gym harder and harder with each passing month.  I've toned up nicely, and managed to gain around 15 pounds.


All in all, I feel better than I've felt in years, despite my one shoulder still having issues... there are still some bone fragments mulling about in there... I may need surgery eventually... we'll see how that works out.

I still don't have a job, but am considering a totally different career path.  Possibly paramedics/firefighting, which may take me to new places... we'll see.

Basically, where I'm at now is just trying to keep my momentum and accelerate it whenever possible...

This means, more photography, more music writing, more working on my car, and more working out at the gym... and cooking of course.  Basically, I have way too much I want to do, with not enough hours in the day.

I am up all night tonight just doing whatever I can here, and organizing everything for the morning when I have to put the car up on a hoist, blah blah blah, you don't care.

THINGS ARE GOOD.  THE END.
