clarification
i tweeted earlier tonight...
i'm tired of politics.like, really really REALLY tired of it.barely anyone has anything worth a damn to say anymore.[end rant]
and i do mean it, as stated in an earlier post a few weeks (couple months?) back.
what i mean to say is that i'm tired of the current state of politics. there are maybe... two (?) folks i know on the other end of the spectrum that are willing or able to have an open, honest debate that won't have their friends gang up or allow discussion to devolve into a weiner-slingin' match. its just gotten stupid, and it was evidenced moreso last week when America failed to bring the prize of the 2016 Olympic Games home to Chicago. i mean, cheering? really? we're happy that America failed to win hosting duties for the world?
did anyone cheer when New York lost the bid for the 2012 games? was anyone happy or willing to slag on about Bush's inability to bring that home? if they did, i certainly don't remember it, and i personally didn't revel in it. it was a loss for the nation, just as this is.
its just dumb.

things on the home front are good. this is Jackie's last week of work for PI, which is at once incredibly exciting and liberating and jump-outta'-my-skin frightening. and i don't have much more to add to that. LAP is still very much a grassroots effort and we're depending on a whole lotta' word of mouth to get the news out there that we're available and ready.
a couple of jobs have trickled in from random strangers, and that's a very encouraging sign; it also makes me a little prideful that i've been going about this the right way as far as basic SEO and inserting the business into Google, Yelp, Bing, Yahoo, and Facebook search results. the Montgomery photography business is a crowded field, but i feel we have a few distinctive advantages (and tricks) versus other folks. its simply a matter of exposing those plusses to a wider audience without breaking the bank on advertising that will be a challenge.

g'night.
