DeviantArt would stop changing the look of the website, and fix the REAL problem:


Messages.


Worst.
User Interface.
EVER.

She whispers...

BOO!!


so...

New camera, new computer, fixed iPod, new speakers, new TV, new running shoes, new truck, and most fulfilling of all...a new girlfriend.

I've been lazy the last 8 months...and 22 years....but I have everything I've been whining about for a very very very long time. There is no excuse now, but to blame it all on myself. This is a very exciting time for me, and my photography will only improve from here on out.

I got a new camera. Nikon D200. I'm excited.
Truck next week. Thanks.

and yes, I really am listening to, reading, watching, playing, eating, and drinking to all of the above at the same time while typing this journal.

Truck pro's:
-i finally drive again!!
-i finally get the vehical i WANT.
-i can get a shell and go camping whenever i want. no risk of raining out. smaller risk of spiders.
-i can finally start going to phoenix and take photographs of bands that don't tour de tucson and not worry about it breaking down.
-i can move myself instead of borring others' trucks.

Truck cons:
-i won't be able to save for a camera.
-i won't be able to save for school.
-i won't be able to afford many vacations.
-3-4 years of payments.
-higher insurance rates for financing a vehicle.

Camera pros:
-convenience of digital.
-ergo, less stress at concerts.
-less stress under deadlined shoots.
-less stress about aesthetically correct lighting.
-quicker to pay off than a truck
-the mother's disappointment in buying a "toy" over a necessity.
-nothing's worse than a mother's disappointment.
-but then again, she's not paying for anything.

Camera cons:
-less cash to put down on a vehicle.
-IT'S JUST NOT THE SAME AS FILM.
-it'll be out-dated within 3 years. the truck will be paid off in three to four years.
-my computer might suck too much to handle digital images, though i do work at a digital lab.






any advice, outsider perspective, help, .......cash,

would be incredibly helpful right now.
