Spinning Wheels...
2008-01-10 19:53:00
Well I am finally back in action after a long hiatus from posting. Much of it was due to the holidays, some of it was due to lack of motivation. Anyhow here is a recap of what went on in these past weeks.During the holidays I went home to take care of a number of things. I went to get my passport taken care of, to work for a week to make some extra cash, and to pick up some things from a friends house that had been left there for over a year. To say that things didn't play out according to plan would be a huge understatement.pockets to create the most The passport issue became a total bust when I went to the office to file all of my paperwork and then found out that I could not get my travel documents back in time to come back up here. They mail the documents back with the passport. I have no idea why the system is that screwed up and backwards. They require passports for international travel, but are so backed up that the wait for a passport is several months, that is unles...

I have found out that I am not that bad at skating! Of course I can't brake very good yet or skate backwards at all, but I can go forwards and also turn very well. I fact I can turn three different ways. I can turn using the edges, using the cross over or turn very sharp by digging the back of my blade into the ice and leaning sharply into the turn. Not bad for having never skated on ice before in my life. Once I get braking and skating backward down then I should be ready to play hockey! Of course that requires a whole new skill set that I will have to learn as well, but those skills will come fast once I have my feet under me!I am also heading back to the US for a week to get a passport and to pick up some of my stuff that I left behind. I really miss my CD's and DVD's! There are also the winter clothes that I could really use up here as well. It will be nice to get some of my stuff from home! So 13 hours on a train and then 2 by car, but in the end it will be worth it!

Life and a few updates!
2007-12-05 17:40:00
I know it has been a while since I did an actual post, but here goes! I think the last time I actually wrote a complete entry I was telling you about the plans for my birthday. Actually those plans changed completely and we ended up having a few friends over at my place and then going out for a bit instead of having this epic birthday bash at a club that I was originally planning. All seemed to work out for the best and everyone had a good time!Speaking of my birthday, this is what I got for my present. I have never played hockey before, but I am learning. Lucky for me I am athletically inclined and can play most sports reasonably well. Once I learn the skills I think I'll be able to play just fine. In fact today I am going to skate for the first time, I'll let you know how that goes! Happy Birthday Shawn!, originally uploaded by fleurdelys79.She also bought me a pro account for my Flickr photos, so now I can upload more photos per month. This gives me the chance to get b...

2007-11-22 04:27:00
Actually I haven't been, but I have taken sort of a mini break from posting, shooting video, or taking pictures. I have actually been busy trying to take care of other things. It looks like I'll be catching up on things tomorrow and for the remainder of the week. I just need to find a little motivation and some creative energy and I will be back to normal.

30 Minutes Till 30
2007-11-07 05:30:00
That's right, in just half an hour I'll be 30 years old. It's funny, I don't feel 30! Maybe at midnight I'll suddenly feel old! OK maybe not.To me 30 is just another number. It's not the big deal that some people would make it seem to be. I'm still healthy and happy and no matter what your age, that is what is truly important!So there it is, my last blog entry as a 20something year old. The next time you hear from me, I'll officially be old!

Flat panel TV's are a hot commodity these days. With all kinds of HD programming, video games in HD, and new movies coming out in HD and blu-ray the flat panel TV is moving up on people's list of things to buy. Before you purchase a flat panel TV there are a lot of things that you should know. I have found a great site with lots of flat panel TV Reviews .The site is completely sortable by brand, price, size, display format, and even by recommendation if you just want to skip right into which flat panel TV's are the best. You can even compare TV specs side by side in order to help you decide which flat panel TV you want to purchase.

One Week Till 30
2007-11-01 04:24:00
It's funny, I don't feel 30. I knew it was going to happen someday, but it all seems so fast. Maybe it's just my imagination too. Strangely enough there re more memories then even I can remember from the past 10 years alone. One that I definitely remember though was exactly 10 years ago today arriving in California to try out for the Blue Devils. I remember actually being in Berkeley at the time looking at all the people in their Halloween costumes walking down the street. I was eating a huge piece of veggie pizza and I remember the guy I went there with telling me that if I come back to Berkeley a week later people would still be dressed the same. You know something, he was exactly right!So much has happened since those day and now I live in another city all together. Well another country actually! It's funny how life can change so much in such short (or long depending on how you look at it) time. Where will I be at 40? Who knows, lets get through this week and get t...

Sometimes Life Just Gets In The Way
2007-10-25 05:35:00
Or in this case it would be me getting in the way of my own life. The last month or so has not exactly been the best of my life, but it seems as though the worst of everything is over and things are finally starting to look a lot better. I have made some really poor choices of late and it nearly cost me everything that I really wanted. I won't go into details because I don't put 100% of my life out there on the internet and I also believe that some things are better left in private. Sure I have my videos and my blogs, but the real me that is behind all of those entries is much deeper.More importantly I am glad things are finally starting to look up again. I know I have a long way to go to change a few things so that I can have all of the other things I want in life. Still it feels good to know what I have to do to make things better.

This Is Not Miami!
2007-09-26 20:43:00
Collaborative Video Alert!I plan on using the song above for a collaborative video. It?s a really cool house/techno song. If you listen to it during the course of the song they mention at least 20 different cities from all over the world. What I need from everyone out there in the vlogging community are 10-15 second clips of either the downtown section of your city or some still photos of your city skyline. If you happen to live in one of the cities mentioned in the song that is a huge bonus to me! Some examples that I would like to see are standing in between the tallest buildings in your city and spinning with the camera. I could also use some shots of the most busy streets at their most busy times just to capture the hustle and bustle of city life. Get creative, all I need is just a few seconds of your life!My preferred resolution is 640 x 480 shot at 30fps. I can edit all video formats, so there is no need for anyone to convert their footage for me.If yo are interested in helpi...

Unfortunately they don't allow cell phones, cameras, or video cameras once the actual event starts, so I won't be able to post any photos, but as long as my memory is still working 50 years from now, something tells me this is going to be something that I am never going to forget!
