Headlight Morning Glow's photostream

I have Rapid Cycling Bipolar Disorder, which is something I've been struggling with over the last several years. It's not something I'm ashamed of, or afraid to talk about. I'm ok with being Bipolar, though I often wish I didn't have to deal with some of the symptoms (the "highs" were nice, the "lows" terrible. Now (with the medication) everything is just "meh".

I'm also straight-edge, that is to say, I don't drink (I haven't since I was about twenty-three, and even when I did, it wasn't very often I was drunk)or use drugs (never tried *any* unless you were to count medicine, but that's not the kind of thing I'm refering to here). It's never been something that I felt I "needed" to do, and I'm not someone who gets overly concerned with peer presure or trying to fit in. I don't mind going out to clubs, concerts or bars, but I don't believe I have to get blasted to enjoy myself either.

About the only real "vices" that I have, if you could call them that, are Tattoo's (I currently have about twenty-seven). Outside of tattoos, I enjoy Music (just about anything that's not hip-hop or country), and I listen, as well as play and write, though it's very rare that anyone gets subjected to hearing anything I've come up with.

Outside of that, I spend a lot of time attempting to keep relatively fit through inline skating, biking and weight training, as well as an occassion run (I'm not a runner). My medication has made me gain a little weight, so things have been difficult. I also have to get back into it, as I have been too busy dealing with other things to keep a decent schedule for exercising.

That's pretty much the basics, I play video games, and watch movies, and I'm kind of anti-social. It's not that I really have a problem "talking" to people, I just don't go out of my way to approach them. If someone approaches me, and wants to talk, that's great. I guess you could just sum me up as someone who doesn't really say much, unless I believe that I'm going to say something worthwhile. I'm typically someone who, when out at a "social" atmosphere, spends most of my time sitting somewhere and watching what's happening around me, instead of directly being involved.

As for why I'm here, this is primarily something I am using to share pictures with friends and family. I'm not a professional photographer (my Brother, who lives in the Queen Charlotte Islands, is however). I take random pictures of random things that interest or amuse me. Sometimes they come out looking better than others......sometimes, not so much. Maybe someday I'll end up with something of a more "Artistic" nature than just random stuff, but I make no promises.

Everything I take is done using a Canon Powershot SD600.
