"I Don't Want to Hear it"



"I don't want to hear it
All you do is talk about you
I don't want to hear it
'Cause I know that none of it's true
I don't want to hear it
Sick and tired of all your lies
I don't want to hear it
When are you gonna realize..."
 


"Shut your fucking mouth
I don't care what you say
You keep talking
Talking everyday
First you're telling stories
Then you're telling lies
When the fuck
Are you gonna realize"

I hate when people complain all day, every day, 24/7. Especially when its about things that they knew were going to happen. My favorite though is when people complain about things and don't do anything to change it or make the situation better. Its okay to vent, but to a certain extent. Complaining that you never have money and then going out to bars every night is not venting. You know beer cost like $20 and your soul! You don't need another job, you need to get your shit together.
 
Ughhhhh people. This is why I want to work with dead ones.
 
In other news...my sister graduates from 8th grade tomorrow! So excited for her! Congrats to all the graduates of 2014 :)

"Itchin on a Photohraph"


"I'm itchin' on a photograph
yeah I'm scratching on a thermostat
yeah I'm giving up on looking back
yeah I'm letting go of what I had"


"yeah I'm waiting on my mum and dad
yeah I'm swinging on a branch that'll last
yeah I'm going up then falling back
yeah I'm itchin' on a photograph"

This is the third roll I shot for Indisposable Concept. I am so happy with it! It was a tone of fun documenting my spring break from Uni. I am really glad I did this. I cant help, but smile now as I look back on the memories I made. Indisposable Project is something everyone should do at least once in their life. Trust me; you wont regret it. These are my favorite of the roll, but you can see the entire roll here. You can also read about what Indisposable Concept is here and check out my previous post on my blog here (1st roll) and here (2nd roll).

Lip Service Sample Sale

This weekend I went to the Lip Service Cult Biannual Wear house Sale. My inner high school goth girl was coming out! They had amazing stuff at such great prices. Everything was at least 50% off and they had red tag items that were $10 or less. Originally, I was going to wake up at 6 to be there at 7,,,but I was really lazy and ended up falling back a sleep after my alarm went off. After I got my full nights rest, I decided to go. I got there around 12 and the sale started at 10 am. There was still plenty of stuff there, but the only downfall was that sizes were limited. It seemed like they had more, but since I got there late my size was taken in mostly everything. I still got great things though! There were also like 4 other brands there selling items. Here's what I snagged up:

This KC by Kill City mesh dress was only $10. It's simple and cute. It was a one one a kind sample piece they had. The sewing on the straps is a little bunched up, but it's a sample! They are never perfect. Besides, I doubt people look at that. Not a bad deal for only ten bucks! I'll probably use it as a swim cover up or wear a slip under to use as a dress. You can buy it online here.
 
 

This 24hrs crop top was $5. The cheapest thing I got at the sample sale. Obviously it was cheap because they printed the back words a little too close to the bottom, but who cares! I ended up benefiting from their mistake. It's a bit on the big side, but with the right bra I could fill it up haha. You can buy it online here.

Iron Fist clothing is one of my favorite brands and I was so happy they were there. This bag has been on my wish list and I finally got it. The best part: it was only $15! You can buy it online here.
 

This bag is also Iron Fist and was also $15. It is no longer on their website, but they have the same pattern in a tote bag version here.
 

This Garbage Pail shirt was also $15. I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. It's a mens shirt, but I can make it work. You can buy it online here.

"You Cant Bring Me Down"



"First off, let's take it from the start
Straight out, can't change what's in my heart
No one, can tear my beliefs apart
You can't bring me"



"You ain't, never seen no one like me
Prevail, regardless what the cost might be
Power flows inside of me
You can't bring me"



"Stand up, we'll all sing along
Together, ain't nothin' as strong
Won't quit, we ain't in the wrong
You can't bring me
You can't bring me down"

You can't bring me down because this has been the best summer of my life and it just started. I spent a week in Mexico (I will share my pictures as soon as I get the film developed). I have also been able to sleep in and catch up with friends. I hung out with my best friend on Saturday after months of not seeing each other. She just graduated from USC and I'll be photographing her graduation announcements next week. I am very excited and so proud of her! It is amazing what you can do when you are determined.

It's only Tuesday and my week is going great! Today Bryan and I had a lot of fun going to the movies and having lunch. Have you guys seen A Thousand Ways to Die in the West? It is hilarious. I defiantly recommend it. This weekend is also going to be eventful. I will be attending a sample sale for Lip Service this Saturday and on Sunday I will be at Ink N Iron. Not really going for the tattoos, but for some vendors and to see Suicidal Tendencies. How's that for "hardcore"?! Anyways, it's going to be rad.

Can it be the weekend already?
