Â¡Anda p’al sirete! That was a total Felicity moment, Tyler! This proves you are a genius because only exceptional(ly) crazy creative people get up and continue to work. lol

You should go rent Swing Time and watch the “Pick Yourself Up” number. Hee.

P.S: Was the person who hit you wasted/drunk? Do you even know who it was? Whoever it was, he/she should pay your medical expenses!

Remember that tons of people are rooting for your quick recovery!
Denise

I am glad to hear you are doing well!

I think you should listen to “Wake the Sun” (www.myspace.com/thematches), it makes me smile so maybe it will do the same for you : )

Yes I’m so glad to hear Tyler is doing better. I actually just did a project on him for photography class. It was a powerpoint and as soon as I started it at the title page a girl in my class went YOU DID NOT DO TYLER SHIELDS! HE’S LIKE MY HERO! Ahaha. We’re all thinking of you and I hope you feel better soon. Can’t wait to see what you were shooting that was so important that it took presidence over broken ribs. But I’m sure it’ll be amazing Just heal fast and next time watch out for lunatic drivers.

Hey Tyler! I am so glad to hear that you are home and doing well. Sometimes the universe has crazy ways to get us to slow down when we don’t slow ourselves down. Take this time to truly relax and fully recuperate. Do something that you haven’t had a chance to do in a long while (besides sleep :-p). Though you’ll probably just come up with another million and one projects to work on. Well, just wanted to say happy you are safe and on the mend. Take care.

How was your day? Calm & peaceful, thank goodness

Song of the day? A Janis Joplin tune I heard earlier…now I can’t get it out of my head
http://myspace.com/ericalovesit Ericaaa

I msgd Brianne because I knew she hadn’t heard since she wasn’t in the last blog/chat.

Tyler, I’m glad you’re feeling somewhat better. I still can’t believe you got hit by a car! OMG. But, when you get a-ok, let us know.

My song of the day is Outta My Head by Ashlee Simpson and Fences by Paramore (yes, two songs of the day)

P.S. I also love the fact that you finished shooting after your accident HA! Hardcore.
Denise

I am so happy to hear you are going to be okay. Hope you are up and at ‘em soon. Best wishes to you always. You are in my prayers.

I’m glad to hear that even though he’s broken, he’s ok. That boy is full of piss and vinegar, you didn’t think a CAR could stop him, did you? )

Be well, Ty!

Please tell Tyler I am over from London and wanted to see him on Saturday to discuss the new promotional material we are gonna make.

I can come see him if he likes, or I can just meet up with Robby and go over some ideas, or leave it until next time I am here, whicchever he prefers…

If u can let me know that would b cool.

If I can come meet him with Robby Sat morning that would b best!

Tyler, you’re in my prayers. Get the rest you need so you’re in top shape to shoot those photos we all love so much. On a side note: Ever thought about doing a calender? I would rock one at the office!

Tyler!
I hope you feel better soon! Glad to see you have people watching over you while you are resting. Sometimes we don’t see everything coming towards us and at least you had people there when it happened.

Take Care!

I hate it when that happens.

Are you glad to hear tyler is doing better? Of course I am. I sense doctors and nurses may be the theme of Tyler’s next shoot coz surely they’d be doting on you!

How was your day? Awesome. Great. Fantastic. I’ve found a new man who keeps me out (in) of trouble

Song of the day? Twice Alive by Freestate. They’re just starting to get big in Australia and have just done their first clip. Have a look if you like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSYgERtewic

Thank you Erica for messaging me…I don’t remember if I had told you that or not girl.

Tyler it is valentines day. . .one of my least favorite days so far this year. BUT, I do you hope you are feeling better today. You deserve a cake for being a complete trooper and jumping up to finish the shoot haha. You are in my thoughts and I hope that you are top notch soon.

Keep resting and heal, don’t rush yourself, just take it easy for a bit. I am sure that being stuck in bed is frustrating since you have so much to do. But I do hope you are atleast sleeping, your body probably needs this rest like crazy!

Be safe, and watch out for on coming traffic. I know pedestrians have the right away, and most cars have working brakes, but that doesn’t mean people will give that right away or use those breaks, as proven in this situation. haha.

Much Love

Hey Tyler, I hope you are doing alright…. I know from experience, that when you go through something like that, adrenaline kicks in, and you seem fine at first, and as it wears off, you feel like crap. Take time to heal before hitting your day gung ho. Take care of yourself, we are all here praying for you, glad you are alive, and look forward to conversing with you soon.
