I went ahead and purchased the $500 flash for my camera along with a Hoya UV Filter and a Hoya Infrared filter. I am so gonna bite the dust come next month. My credit card bill is sky high right now and I don’t even have enough funds to pay it off.

So why did I go ahead and make this purchase? I’ve been needing to get it for awhile now and then even in my photography class today, my teacher mentioned to bring our cameras & flash next week since we were going to do activities with them. Well…I don’t have one. I think I was the only one who didn’t have one. So screw that since I wasn’t going to be left out.

So tonight, I hopped online and bought it with express next day delivery. So I should be getting the flash and UV filter on Thursday. I ordered the infrared filter from another store at regular shipping rate, so it will most likely be here next week which is fine since I don’t really need it asap like I do with the flash.

Um…ya…almost $700 in a mere 10 minutes. Can you believe it? I’m still sitting here dumbfounded that I just spent that much in a short time. Oh well…I’ll be working EXTRA HARD in the next few weeks with online stuff so I can pay it off…not to mention the shit I ALREADY have on my credit card.

If you love watching “The Simpsons”, then check out these videos below that feature the cast of the show. Some parts are extremely funny and I can’t believe the amount of characters some of the actors are in the show. It’s pretty amazing and definitely talented!! (there are five parts in total but the last three are after the jump).

My Saturday morning has been a little bit slow. I’ve just been getting ready to head off to work but decided to pop in and check a few things online. The weather is actually quite nice outside which totally sucks because I have to work. This always happens…nice weather when I have to work.

Anyways, I’m just glad I’m working with a great friend of mine, Roz. Hopefully time will pass by much quicker having her there so we can talk. LOL!

Well, I gotta go finish getting ready and then it’s off to work. Cya laterz!!

I can’t believe how quickly my nephew is growing. Every time I hold him, it feels like he’s so long and his legs just hang off to the side. He’s definitely going to be a tall kid. Have I mentioned that he tries to crawl now. He goes backwards which is hilarious to see. He also flips over really fast too.

The other day I had him on my bed and he kept flipping over and over until he was at the edge of my bed. It was crazy! LOL! He moves around so much now and even tries to follow my dog (which he obviously can’t yet since he can’t crawl forwards). LOL! Anyways, I took some recent photos of him. You can see them below.

Crazy how times change. A flash of memories came back to me just a second ago.

• A few years ago I had a great site – Darkmis29.com where I provided graphics, web templates, and much more to visitors. It was pretty popular. Where is it now? It’s gone.

• I remember being hosted by VistaPages and being pissed off near the end of my hosting term with them. Won’t be going back, that’s for sure!

• I remember spending hours plugging my websites on plugboards.

• I remember joining cam portals and thinking it was cool.

I remember watching anime 24/7 all in Japanese with English subtitles.

Oh the memories…

Every couple of weeks, I always end up hearing about somebody doing Colon Cleansing. It’s actually really weird the people I heard of doing it, don’t even know each other.

I guess people are trying to live healthier lifestyles and what better way to start it off just by getting rid of the toxins that are currently in your colon. Just imagine the amount of food you eat throughout a year. Now times that by how old you are. Just think of all the buildup that is currently in your colon after all those years. Plenty, that’s for sure.

I personally think that we should detoxify our body at least once a year. I haven’t done it yet myself, but I sure as heck am planning to. Well, that will happen when I’m completely off work and don’t have to leave the house because I’d need a bathroom around me asap. LOL!

I remember my dad telling me about this guy he works worth who ended up buying some sort of liquid that he drank to clean out his colon. And it sure did work. Don’t ask me how they came about this conversation, but the guy actually told my father about his bathroom visits and how nasty the smell was. Yes, you can gag now because I sure as heck did too!! LOL!

I’d rather endure the smell rather than have all that crap in you, building up over time. So…when are YOU cleaning out your colon?

Well, there is no surprise that I’m absolutely in love with photography. I’ve been in love with it for as long as I can remember. One of my lifetime goals is to establish a reputable business for myself and do photography full time.

Lately, I’ve been getting more and more requests from old friends and acquaintances asking me if I could take photos of their family and how much it would cost. I haven’t yet decided on price wise, time commitment, and what will be included in the deal, but that’s something I’ll be figuring out sometime this week.

There’s also a few others things I’m trying to get done as soon as possible. Some of them I’ll do this week, and some will have to wait until I get some more cash. One thing is getting my business cards printed out. I designed them awhile back but have yet to print them. Here is what it looks like (and yes, my number is blurred out for privacy reasons).

Some of the other things I was talking about when I mentioned that I need more cash in order to get include a new camera backpack, a few new lenses, some more filters, memory cards, and of course a flash unit. For the backpack, I’m debating between two different ones.

One is the Lowepro CompuTrekker AW and the other is the Lowepro SlingShot 200 AW DSLR Backpack. Both are really great camera backpacks and have their own pros and cons. But I think I’m leaning more so towards the Lowepro CompuTrekker AW (image on left side below) for the main reason that it has a slot where you can store your laptop which I think is essential! Plus, you can fit a whole lot of stuff in there too. Here are both photos of the backpacks below.

So that’s where I’m at now at this point of my photography ventures. I’ll keep you all posted on my progress and what other camera accessories I’ll be getting soon. I think I may make it a regular thing for posting about my photography on this blog. Stay tuned for more!
