Had to push myself to start this and force myself to finish it. I’ve been trying to beat my melancholy off with an Ugly Stik (that’s a fishing pole and makes no sense whatsoever). It’s still there and not leaving anytime soon.
I’d watch a Red Box flick or Netflix but am wiped out until payday – the once-a-month payday is killing me, yo! Netflix was cut for the time being so I’ve had to dig into my pencil case and throw my vision down on paper.
Thankfully, it’s not Specter gnashing at me – ugh, hate that guy (a la Gru voice).
Here’s to pushing through.
I want to dedicate this to those fighting through their own valley right now. I admire your strength and courage. All of us here know what it’s like. You’re not alone in your pain and reality. Reach out. You’ll find friends here.

I really love the fist one. Would be awesome in a sepia tone, too!

For the lightning pics on the bottom, I recorded a lightning strike with my phone’s video recorder. Then used an app that broke the sequence down by frame. Really happy with the way it came out. They were all taken on my Samsung Galaxy S3 a while back. Newer pics were taken on the Note 3 and 4.

I’m starting a new category called “Beach Pics”. I live about 100 yards across the street from here. This has been one of my coping mechanisms. I hope these pics provide at least one person some sunshine and hope. Please feel free to download and use them in your posts/as you wish.
