I could have put an exclamation point at the end of both those sentences, but I want to make it more of a statement more than anything. It’s party time and it’s Isaiah time.  That’s all you gotta know.  Why is it party time?  Because it’s Isaiah time.  BOOM.  It’s how we do.  But I’m pretty sure that I’m running a fever right now and the more words that I type the more they aren’t going to make sense.  So let us move on from the words and get to the point.

Isaiah stopped by FunCenter, we took the seniorsnaps, and it was good.  Very good.  So now we give the MuchLove to him for being so awesome, and to all you peeps out there in Land of Blog doing whatever it is you do – Enjoy!

 

Back when I was a kid, the MTV used to play the music videos.  Now it’s all about…I’m not even sure I know what it’s all about.  Catfishing.  Which is not a fishing show.  And there was a VJ (that stands for ‘video jockey’) that went by the name of Kennedy.  I liked her.  She was hip, cool.  There was also a president named Kennedy too.  He was hip and cool as well.  The point of all of this, other than to educate people on what the M in MTV stands for, is that in my experience in life, the name Kennedy is associated with being hip and cool.  And it would seem that with the inclusion of the Kennedy pictured above these nonsensical words, this tradition will not be broken.

But as if being hip and cool wasn’t enough, she was also incredibly gracious and a gem to work with!  Which is really all that we care about.  Hip & cool is one thing, but if you’re a diva – no way.  Not cool.  But now worries my good people of blog – Kennedy was no diva, like I said, she was a gem, and our time together taking the seniorpictopics was awesome!

So much so that we need to offer up a MuchLove to her for being so great to work with, and then we need to tell all of my catfishing friends out there in the digital cyberworld reading these silly words to – Enjoy!

 

Yes, I know that I’m struggling to come up with new and inventive titles to these blog posts, but seriously – let’s see how you are doing after about 2,700 times of trying to be creative with a headline.  I just can’t put ‘Sydney Declares War’ or ‘Sydney Wins In Landslide’ – this isn’t some sort of a newspaper, this is something that people actually read.  HUZZAHH!  Stuck it to the newspaper industry.

But that’s not why we’re here.  We’re here because there was a day that wasn’t today but wasn’t a whole bunch of days ago when the oh-so-lovely Sydney strolled into our lives and let us be a small part of her senior year as we took her seniorpictosnaps (which is a word now because my computer has given up on trying to auto-correct it which must mean it’s a word…either that or my computer is just giving up…don’t give up computer – we still have each other.  Am I having a moment with my computer?  Sorry about that.  Back to the story) – and the results were fantastical (again, a word that my computer has given up the ghost on trying to correct.)

But you don’t need any of these made up words to tell you that – all you need to do is look at the lovely image above these words and know that Sydney brought the goods, and we need to give MuchLove to her for doing so, and we also need to tell all you goodly peeps out there in your Blogworld to – Enjoy!

 

Do we still use the term ‘dig?’  Is that still a thing?  It’s not?  Hmm.  Well it’s the only lingo I’ve got.  Yes, I know it’s from thirty years ago, but I’m convinced that everything that once was will be again, so the time for dig may be past, but I’m really truly on the cutting edge.  Dig?  Thought so.

And what are we digging on, you ask?  Chance.  It’s chance that you dug (past-tense.)  And why did you dig?  Because he stopped by the otis and the james with a dash of photography to have his senior pictosnaps taken.  Lo & behold, that is just what he did.  Dig?  Yeah.  Thought so.  But now is not the time for us to waste any more time digging or dugging (not a word) – now is the time for us to send MuchLove to Chance for giving us a little bit of his sweet & precious time and for being so awesome to work with, and it’s also time that we tell all o’ you wonderful peeps out there in your digital world to – Enjoy!

 

How do we get so lucky at the otis and the james?  How is it that everyone that we work with is so lovely & beautiful?  I guess we’ll never know the answer to that question, and perhaps it’s best if we never find out the answer.  Kind of like finding out how a magic trick is performed – once you find out, the magic is gone.  And we can’t be losing the o&j magic.  So I’m going to stop asking the question.  And if you need proof that the magic is not gone, all you have to do is look at the superseniorsamplesnap above these words and know that the magic is there.  It’s there in spades, baby.  But this magic I’ve been rambling on about isn’t about us – it’s about the lovely & beautiful peeps we have the good fortune of working with – and this time it was the lovely McKayla!

All she had to do was step foot into the FunCenter and we knew it was going to be a wonderful shoot.  And I’m here to tell you that it was.  But again, just look up and reference the picture and you will know that what I’m going on and on about is the straight truth.  No joke.  Let’s put all of these words to bed, give MuchLove to McKayla for being so wonderful, and tell all you peeps out there in Blogland to – Enjoy!

 

I think that all of you know how this thing works.  There was a time not all that long ago.  There was a place called FunCenter.  Mariah came ready to rock and/or roll.  We had cameras & stuff like that.  And what happened then?  Total awesomeness.

But these words, you don’t need them in order for you to know all of this – all you gotta do is just look at the picture above these words and you will fully understand that Mariah was totally and completely awesome, and our time together was all to short & sweet!  So now we give MuchLove to Mariah for being so awesome, and to all my peeps out there in Blogland being your beautiful selves – Enjoy!

 

 

Just one more before we call it a day here on the o&j interwebs of good times & happy times (we need to work on that title) and this time it’s the absolutely positively lovely Ali!

I could think of no better way to end this day than with her sweetly sweet seniorpictosnap!  So instead of boring you with all sorts of words, I’m just going to give MuchLove to Ali for being so wonderful and for letting us take your senior pics, and to all of my good peeps out there in Land of Blog doing whatever it is you do in the evening hours – Enjoy!

I say that like I’m just surprised and amazed that I’ve suddenly got this laptop in front of me with a picture of the ever-lovely Arianna in front of me and I have no idea how these things happened.  Like I was just reanimated from a frozen block of ice and had these things thrust in front of me.  Well I haven’t.  I had the laptop in the frozen block of ice with me.  But enough about how I spend my weekends.

The doors to the FunCenter opened up on a day that wasn’t all that long ago, and in to our lives strolled the wondrous Arianna!  She was here to have seniorpictosnaps taken.  And she came to the right place.  Because if she had gone next door she could have bought a Beanie Baby, or if she would have gone the other direction she would have been in a wine bar, and I’m pretty sure that she’s not of age, but I do not know how she feels about Beanie Babies.  Long story shot – she chose the right door, because for the brief time she was in our midst the FunCenter was filled with her radiant joy!

All these words, you don’t need them.  So let us wrap this up by giving MuchLove to Arianna for letting us be a small part of her senior year, and to all my other happy people out there in their happy little blog homes – Enjoy!

 

Monday.  Possibly the worst day of the week.  A day that gets no respect.  A day when the harsh realities of life come crashing back down into us as we begin to forge our way through another week.  And this is the first full week of school to boot.  Did that sound Canadian?  Either way.  Monday.  There have been many songs written, there have been cultural references made for years.  But I’m here to offer up a ray of hope on this (at least from where I stand, or sit, or actually lounge as type this) cloudy and rainy day – and that ray of hope is the oh-so-lovley Madison!

You see, my fine peeps, Madison has taken this otherwise bad ol’ day and made it into a permanent Friday – which has been scientifically proven to be the best day of the week by a group of science people.  It has.  Look it up.  On the internet.  Everything is true on the internet.  Back to the point.

Just by looking at the lovely samplesnap above these words you know I’m not playin’ around – what I speak is the truth!  But these words, they don’t do it justice.  So I’m just going to offer up MuchLove to Madison for stopping by the o to the j, and to all my other peeps out there in Blogland slogging (which is a word) through another Monday – Enjoy!
