Picture 342

So, I have had a few busy weeks as of late.
I haven't been posting in a while.
I've changed and I don't know what's wrong.

I slept for 14 hours today.
I just didn't want to get up.
I was supposed to have this post and the videos that go with it done….
But they aren't.
I have just moped for days.
I was supposed to mow the yard and didn't.
I have pictures to work on from a trip to a garden….thing.
It's hard to explain, it was a pretty flower place.
There is so many things that I need to do.
But I don't want to do anything.
I don't know why.
Maybe I'm just tired from our Cedar Point trip.
That's why I didn't do a post last week.
And before that, I was in the hospital for my lung.
So, I haven't really had time to do anything.
But it's been a week now since we got back.
I should have worked on something.
I was actually like this in the trip….now that I'm looking back.
I was all quite and just following everyone.
I had a headache the whole time. :-P
But on a ride, I was all excited!
Depending on what ride it is.
I don't like the ones that…hurt.
Like….Mean Streak.
I forgot how mean it was.
I almost died.
I'm feeling better now.
As I'm typing this, my mind is feeling awake.
I guess I just needed to type things out.
Talk about it.
With that, we’ll move on to the hospital trip.
It was terrifying.
I didn't like going when someone else was in there.
But to actually be the thing I didn't like…. was weird!
Being in the hospital robe…
No clothes but my socks and bloomers.
IT WAS WEIRD!
Luckily, I had my iPad and GoPro to distract me.
So, I can talk to them.
See, talking things out is a good thing.
Don't bottle things up inside.
I was worried.
I didn't know what was going to happen.
I don't like that either.
I like to know what I'm doing and be in control.
In a good way!
Not all like “You’re my slave! Obey me!!”
I just like to know what's going on and how things will play out.
I keep getting off topic.
I was worried about the future.
Is this deadly?
How much is it going to cost?!!!??
Am I going to die?!?
Do I have enough money??!!
I was all worked up.
I had this happening, and then my next dentist appointment is in a month.
I'm going to have to cancel it because I have no job!
There was so many things in my head!
I was glad that they didn't find anything wrong with me.
But I was mad because….there wasn't anything wrong!
And they weren't going to do anything.
So, have a huge bill….for nothing!
However, the doctor was confused why there was anything.
So, he took a second look and found what he found.
You can see the last post I did.
I embed all the Facebook posts in that one.
The posts where about what was going in…in real time.
Anyways, that's that.
I haven't gotten a bill yet.
I had to go back two more over the course of a week.
But they still didn't do anything.
My lung healed it's self.
Which is good.
They didn't have to do surgery and I got to go to Cedar Point.
So, that's not that much to the pile.
Hopefully it's not too much in bills.
I'm down to just 200 dollars.
I'm running out of money.
People have recommended me to some places.
I was told about a place yesterday.
You test cable boxes and Internet modems.
That's my type of stuff…kind of.
You have to see if they are working right and troubleshoot if you have too.
I built a computer in school…..I guess that helps.
I'll look them up tomorrow.
Ok, I think I rambled enough.
I think you get the story.
I don't really like spilling my private life.
That's why I don't do many actual Facebook posts about my day.
Just pictures and what not.
Maybe I should do more.
Distractions!

On to the picture.
The picture part wasn't that hard.
I wanted to capture the pretty flowers.
I went through a few fails.
It looked fine...it was just me.
I wasn't posing right.
It didn't like...like me.....at the time.
So, I decided to not go the happy route and look sad/confused/gloomy.
That's why the camera isn't really focused on me.
And it worked!
I liked it!
I did the same for the coloring.
I was going to go for black and white.
I had contrast and clarity all the way up.
But that took away the flowers.
Then I went for a faded look.
But it wasn't good enough!
So, I pushed the saturation all the way.
I also put clarity down a bit.
Lastly, I played around with each color.
Everything had a hint of blue because it was sunset/twilight time.
So, I turned that down.
Doing that my me look a little faded.
It was what I was going for!
It blended nicely!!
COMPARE!!

Hover your mouse (the computer one :-P) over the original picture to see the after editing one.
If you're on a touchscreen device, just tap on the picture. You may have to tap more than once.

Now here's the same thing, just not cropped so you can see the changes better.

AMAZING!!
Just what I wanted!
I got my faded look and my colorful look.
It shows how I felt.
OH!!!!
Let's try the Image Slider.
Here's how it works...
There's a blue bar in the middle of the picture.
That's the slider.
The slider will disappear when you move your mouse off of the image.
I did that so you can really see the split.
But, it'll come back when you hover over it again.
You can CLICK on it and DRAG it around to get our on split image.
Or, you can use these presets.
Before FULL, After FULL, 50/50, Before a QUARTER, or After a QUARTER.

After

Ok, this week has two videos.
One is the continuation of last times video.
Which was our Fourth of July fun!
I had to cut out all the slo mo videos I did because the video would be 3 hours long.

So, here they in their own 26 minute video!
You can CLICK HERE to see the video or watch it below. 
I LOVE SLO MO!
Editing the video took longer than I thought because I kept watching the videos.
…..frame by frame……
It's pretty!
Moving on! The next video is my week in and out of e hospital.
I covers this week’s picture.
Which I made at the beginning of the week.
And then my time in the hospital.
I did have my GoPro!
I always do!
Since it cover a whole week, it has a lot of video in it.
Not a lot, just long ones of me talking and explaining the situations.
That's why the run time came out to 46 minutes.

There's a lot to talk about!
You can CLICK HERE to see the video or watch it below. 
And that's all.
Next week will cover our Cedar Pint trip.
I did have my GoPro with me!
Just not on the rides.
I'm not that stupid!
COME BACK NEXT WEEK!!!
