Crusty Oranges & Crushed Fortune Cookies

I'm eating an orange right now, but I left some of it on my desk for like thirty minutes and when I bit into it, it was crunchy kind of.. Not like a chip but kind of like paper maybe (if you were to bite paper for some reason) I didn't know oranges could get crusty.. It was the white stuff that's suppose to be really good for you that got crusty.
I took pictures at a wedding this weekend (and the dinner) I tried to take as many pictures of people in the most awkward chewing moments to show why you shouldn't hire a photographer to take pictures at your dinner the night before your wedding.. Although I did get four fortune cookies out of the dinner. I ate two and the other two are on my desk (by the crusty orange) all crushed from being left in my suit coat pocket over the weekend.. I think I'm going to eat them now and see what my fortunes are... Hold on one minute..
First fortune, "You are a deep thinker with a knack for problem solving" I sure hope so cause I have a lot of problems.
Second fortune, ... wow. I don't believe in chinese people anymore. my second fortune is the same as the first one.. Or maybe they are trying to reiterate it because it's so true and important. Ok never mind, I do believe chinese people.

Portland





I was just in Portland for the week taking pictures for the Rose family of their kids playing basketball.. Portland is by far the prettiest city i've ever been to. Scott (my second uncle if that's possible) works for Nike and gave me 9 pairs of new shoes. That;s right, bling bling. I was excited about it, maybe i'll go to the gym like two times a day now. Oh ya real quick.. Just a little side note. It seems like the D.I. is the ultimate place for finding people singing along to the songs being played, in a very enthusiastic tone. And it's always really bad songs that for some reason everyone knows, but at the same time you wonder how the people singing them know them.. Like, "How do I live without you? I want to know. How do I breathe without you..." and "you're body is a wonderland" and, or Fly away by Lenny Kravitz or "I am I said" by Neil Diamond.. It's crazy and annoying and entertaining how people of all sorts, ages, styles and size just sing songs like these so loud while they are shopping at the D.I. either by themselves or pushing their kid in a stroller. I always want to do it but I just can't get myself to.. Anyway. Portland was cool.
