I went to a friend’s house today ‘cause she bought a lighting set. Mariangela, the girl on the picture, another friend of mine was our model for the day. Daniela (My friend with the lights) did her make up and we did a bunch of pictures, mostly on her digital camera but I did some with mine as well as with my film camera (popped up one of my 800 ISO film rolls) - It was fun, and kinda had a taste of how all that fashion photography deal would be.
Also, can’t wait to see how the film pictures come out

As some of you may already know I don’t completely buy into the whole “family” business mostly ‘cause for some people the fact that you’re related to them is the perfect reason for them to wall all over you and if you EVER need anything from them they would rather have their eyeballs taken out before stepping an inch out of their comfort zone.
It’s happening with my brother’s stay here. This is not by any means about him, not at all, It’s about all our other relatives. They all yap so much about wanting to see him ‘cause he’s almost never around but they won’t even move a muscle about it, my mother (who’s not even related to my brother or to my father’s side of the family for that matter) is the one that has been driving him around so he could have a chance at seeing all my other aunts and uncles.
Where’s the “family” component in this case? Is it just me or is it all for show while he’s spending these days here. I don’t really wanna say anything but the whole “We want to see you but you have to come to us” kind of deal just pisses me off!.
I have the best example for this. Take my Godmother, haven’t seen her since I came back to Venezuela, She sends my brother an sms saying “we should get together” and all that crap but she’s already “booked full” for today and tomorrow, I mean, what the hell?!.
I think that what pisses me off the most is that it takes time that could be used to entertain my brother just so He could see them when they wouldn’t even bother to move their schedules a bit ‘cause of the whole “family” concept.
Is it just me? Am I being selfish? the fact is I dropped him off at one of my aunt’s just now and perhaps I won’t even get to spend time with him at all today.
