Bad Blipper

I haven't been blipping for the past 2 weeks or so - no real reason, just kinda bored with taking photos. Well not really, just bored of taking whatever pictures - if it's one thing this blip has taught me is that mundane pretty much is the best adjective to sum of my life. Then when I do have something to photograph, I don't have my camera with me - I need to find a balance.

Anyways, I broke my cardinal rule and bought the cheaper model of something. In this case it was a wide angle lens for my camera, I bought the canon 20mm one, no zooming option which is weird to me and well so far I don't like it. I'm going to play with it some more, but I think in a week or so this thing will make it's way back onto eBay so I can pick up the Canon EF-S 10-22mm.

My blip today is taken with my super cheap lens (I think it's like a $50 lens) and I felt I was getting crisper and all around better pictures from it (not good for the lens that I just bought). As usual, blip is of Smokey.

Oh lately I've been losing weight like mad which is great, I'm actually the same weight now as I was in high school - wow that's weird to say. Anyways, what else - oh the weekend before last I went to the burbs for Laura's birthday, Nicole's birthday, Kristy's possible last performance w/too white crew, what else... Something else, can't remember. Oh yeah Sanya's birthday and oh this was weird. Dawn and her friends had their 10 year high school reunion that night so I tagged along (it was just at a bar). It was funny to watch everyone basically not talk to everyone else, it was like they wanted to go just to say they went, but no one wanted to converse.

The mood was well I didn't talk to you in high school, so why talk to you now. Regardless, I started talking to people, I met a really nice woman her name was Amanda,,,, Amanda something, how awful I already forget. Anyways, she was real nice, but didn't recognize or know anyone. She had a friend w/her who was in the same situation I was (not having gone to the school) she was from Chicago and lives just a few miles away from me and recommended her favorite mexican restaurant to me called Fuego on Milwaukee - I can't wait to go! My reunion is not for another 2 years, but I'm kind of excited to go I liked everyone in my class and everyone always seemed to get along for the most part. Someone told me that Facebook has ruined the reunion experience - I'm not on that yet, but a few of my friends said I should join. What's funny is the people that even tell me nah don't join you're not missing much - they're on it everyday doing stuff!

More important than facebook, I've picked up reading as a new hobby. So much so that I didn't even go out last Saturday because I was in the middle of a 10 hour reading marathon... Not like me at all, but I was catching up on tons of magazines and articles. I'm down to just a few psychology today magazines to catch up on, then I'm onto my books. That's what I'll go do now...
