ay yam what i yam. y?

im starting to understand why i like to do what i like to do. i have a weird combination of things that i like to do or i liked to do, and out of no where im starting to see a connection.

i used to like cutting grass (to a very limited extent), but i did like doing it at one point in my life.

when i was in middle school i used to like "modifying" my computer, which involved putting cold cathode florescent lights inside my computer case, and other random things. it was super dorky, but all my friends did it so i did too.

i now like to cut peoples hair. its weird, but ive been cutting my own hair since like 9th grade and i had fun doing it. its like sculpting your head, or like when gardners cut their bushes into really cool shapes. lately ive been telling people to just let me cut their hair. three people, kevin, kai, and ryan, are willing to let me cut their hair. kevin is a regular customer of mine.

and now ive liked photography for some time. im starting to understand why i like it and thats how ive come to see what all my other hobbies have in common. my interest in photography, i think, comes from my desire for change. changing something from bad to good, good to better, or just changing something for no reason at all. i think a true photographer is someone who can take an outwardly normal appearing situation, person, place, or thing, and make it look beautiful. beautiful isnt always the right word though, maybe more like abnormal or surreal. whatever the word is, change takes place when a photographer makes something normal look abnormal, and thats why i like taking pictures. this is also why ive wanted to do design for so long, but i dont really know if im still pursuing that or not. i used to think design was the only field where you get to design stuff and use your creativity while trying to make something look good, but im starting to see that you can do this in other fields, as well.

so maybe thats why i liked cutting grass, modding my computer, oh and pokemon too. pokemon change
