Pride

*cries*

those hairs make this picture so much more interesting :]!

I love the lighting, and how all her eyelashes are shadowed, just amazing.

Simply gorgeous.

this part really creeps me out.. but it's a cool kind of creepy..

Dead's man look???

Blue Steel

Zoolander!!

Heehee, that eyebrow.

say what???

BIG HEAD

In the history of Aaron, pride is something that often gets confused with confidence and sometimes even arrogance. Although I never want to come off as any of those things in a negative way sometimes it happens.

And we all know what happens when you get a big head and start putting it in places it shouldn't go, trying to be up above the rest. It gets cut off. Usually by the ones closest to you.

Thankfully I have my Rosie to keep me grounded.

There are a lot of things I need to work on in life, and one of those things is not letting things go to my head. To always stay humble, because there is always going to be someone better than you without even trying, and there will always be people who look up to you. It is important not to shit on them, because without the support of my peers, I am nothing.

So if anyone out there feels ignored or shat on by me, I am truly sorry, I don't mean it, I just tend to get caught up in one thing in life, and forget all the rest. But I am trying.

Wow its late, and I am ranting... goodnight Flickr :)

mulletgod says:

this is the best one in the series so far mate. that neck severance is gold!

i had a plan for a detached head photo this week, but it was going to be slightly different to this. i think your "execution" has inspired me to go through with it. :)

I believe their are far more self depricating behaviors and not enough genuine self pride. This reminds me of the battle scene of "300". Whether accidental or not, interesting that she holds your head with the "promise" ring underneath. Don't take anything for granted.
