I don't know enough to really know...

I don't know enough to really know, but what I do know, I know I like; still with me? I DO NOT follow politics, maybe a casual read or video watched during the week but that is about it. With the American election coming up, the hoopla etc is revving up more and more. The DNC was just held and the Republican one is to follow. I think it is incredible how much support is shown for both candidates. I watched in aw, as Obama, spoke to thousands of people that filled a football stadium. It's just incredible. Over the top spectacle, but incredible.

What he stands for and speaks about is what I agree with. He seems like a person that when asked would really listen, and understand. I think that is what America needs right now. Someone to take a step back, rub their eyes, then go to work. Not start fresh but start with a clear head and new ideas. I DO NOT follow politics. This is just my perception.

I have heard "America isn't ready for a black President". I think that is the problem right there. What does being black have to do with anything? That frustrates me so much. If I had the choice between two people, one that in my eyes was had beliefs, stances, goals to better the country I lived in, and one that was not. That's all I would care about.

Please wake up, please.

Golf Tourny!

The big HD golf tourny goes tomorrow, and I am looking forward to it. It's really fun just going out and screwing around with the guys at work. Most don't play golf so that makes me look good, a little side bonus if you will.

We are playing at Foxwood which is where we play every year. I guess if they can tolerate us, we can tolerate them :)

I would like to go shoot some balls before hand but I highly doubt that is going to happen, wish me luck tomorrow.

Time for an upgrade?

I have been using a Nikon D70 for the past 3.5 years now and have been having a great time with it. I have shot 2 weddings and one to come, it has come with me to Chicago, and Dominican Republic among others. The jump to digital was a great step to take back then and now it looks like it may be time to upgrade my arsenal.

I am debating whether or not I should upgrade or just stick with the D70. The D70 takes great shots and the quality is sufficient for what I have been doing. The main thought is that what I am shooting could be a lot better. With the great improvements in noise reduction at higher ISO settings and of course the bump in mega pixels, I stand to improve my shot quality.

The body I am looking at is the Nikon D300. I figure sticking with Nikon is the smart way to go seeing as I have a flash and pair of lenses already for my D70. Also my older memory cards will work for the new camera too.

All this in mind I need to make up my mind fast as I have a wedding to shoot at the end of September and I would need a good amount of time to get comfortable with a new body.

My problem with a big purchase like this is that I lack to BALLS to pull the trigger...

Travel...yeah right...

There are some many places in the world that I would love to visit. The main problem of course is that all this travel costs a shit ton of money. Money which I do not have. On top of that hurdle you also need the time to go everywhere. The more time you take off to travel the less you work and therefore the less money you make. Sounds like an impossible circle.

The two places on the top of my list right now are Ireland and Morocco. I have been wanting to see Ireland for about 10 years now and just recently thought seeing the Strait of Gibraltar would be pretty amazing. There are all these exotic places with exotic foods and drinks and colours and people. I would love to go to these countries and just sit down in the middle of all the hustle and bustle, not say a word and just watch. Breathe in the air, listen, and just be there...

It feels so good to be back...

My week of holidays came to an end yesterday and the routine of the work week is in full swing. It obviously sucks coming back, but in an obscure way it's nice coming back to the monotony of work. Something to fill your days and give you something to bitch about when you get home.

It was a very fun time off spent doing anything we could think of really. We went and saw The Dark Knight in the middle of the day in an IMAX theatre so that was kinda cool. Checked out the casino once and also hit up the horse races.

And I finally got the dart board hung in the garage, 180's here I come!

I am trying to find some new music to check out...any thoughts?

Technology fails...
