    I LOVE the picture! The play of light, especially the way it captures her eye, is beautiful. B&W photography can be so powerful. I’m surprised that you hadn’t released that before.

    Song of the Day - Dublin Waltz by Monty Are I

    As for what I’m up to … my power is out in my apartment (we’ve been told it probably won’t be back until Thursday) so I’m in the office … trying to get a report done, but obviously getting sidetracked easily. Although it’s either hang out here or head back to a cold dark apartment (it’s 11 degrees outside).

  23. 23 tyler Says:

    thanks laura

  24. 24 tyler Says:

    The picture, concept, outfit..everything is fantastic! The girl is almost transparent, she’s so tiny!
    Movie of The Day: The Blues Brothers.
    Song of The Day: Brand New - Jesus.
    The whole album The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me is pretty much the best thing since sliced bread…although, Brand New is sort of an acquired taste…I love them!

    Hope you’re having a fantastic day. I (well, my team) just won a basketball game by about 70 points, so I’m feeling pretty good…thinking about doing homework. =]
    Have an amazing night!!

  27. 27 Katie Says:

    The lighting on the black & white one is really powerful.
    The song of the day has got to be “Typical” by MuteMath.
    I am successfully avoiding some spanish homework, by leaving you this comment.

  108. 108 Megan Says:

    well tyler i read ur bulletin and wrote this in 20mins, u can now prolly fall of to sleep whilst readin this.

    insomnia KILLS

    She restled with sleep as it evades her,
    Deborah has been staring at the clock for hours
    as the hands of time ticked by ever so slowly.
    She cursed the nights when it creeps up on her
    for she fears the tormenting hours of her unrested soul.
    She looks at the clock once again and realises
    Todd was not home yet from the late business meeting
    and the kids are asleep.

    Suddenly her ears alerted her of a faint noise
    arising from the floor below, she listened again
    and knew it was in the kitchen. Her heart rate increased
    pulpating furiously, slowly debbie gained her couraged
    to arise and cautiously treads to the bedroom door,
    but she also remembered to take the gun that Todd
    had shown her how to use when he was never there to
    protect her.

    The bedroom door creaks open, the noise is muffled,
    she moves closer to the stairway anticipating the
    gory darkness and the murderous spirit roaming her house.
    Step by step she draws closer to the bottom of the stairway.

    As she reached the last stair, her heart racing, her hands
    starts sweating pathetically, making her to lose grip on the rail
    of the staircase almost losing balance.
    Debbie cursed the moment of insomnia
    because it could have prevented this madness of fear and despair.

    The noise gained up on her and before Debbie realised the
    ugliness of the night, her hands desperately pulled at the trigger.
    Something dropped to the floor in the still of the night.
    She raced to switch on the lights and when the darkness has fled
    the room, debbie looked in horror at what lay before her.

    insomnia kills……………..

  109. 109 liz Says:

  112. 112 Erin Navy Red Says:

    lol. yeah, i’ve told him how we run into one another online too. I think he thinks I’m gonna tell stories about his childhood on here or something.

    You know you’re bored and need to go to sleep when you start looking for video spoofs of your job online. You really know you’re bored out of your mind when you start posting them yourself.

  113. 113 Ann Says:

    Insomnia is so bad……..I have it off and on……for the most part I want to stay up really late and then go sleep almost half the day…….I went to bed around 3 and now I am up trying to wake my daughter up for school …and then maybe try to go back to bed for awhile….but I have those days when I can’t sleep at all….its hard……my doctor told me to try
    meditation techniques…..cds at bed times…..and no caffaine after 5…..I love the meditation it does calm me…but the no caffaine….crap! LOL…..Well if you ever need me I am here for you…….Lots of love….
    Ann

  114. 114 Sami J Says:

    i cannot sleep tyler.
    insomnia is my life these days.
    but isn’t sleep the enemy anyhow?

  115. 115 Erin Navy Red Says:

    I’m gonna try and take a bubble bath and see if that makes me sleepy. Night night tyler! get some rest at some point.

  116. 116 Blanche Says:
