I figured I would take a few minutes and make a quick blog. I been out enjoying the beautiful weather we have been having lately! And the rest of this week is going to be just as nice and nicer! Friday and Saturday, the highs are predicted to be close to 90 and muggy! I am excited! Nothing like going outside in the warmth and enjoying the fresh air. Sure beats not to long ago when the temps were freezing and snow. I love this warmth, the warmer the better!
I went out and did some photos over the weekend. I went out to the Rockford airport and photographed a L-39, which did 3 touch and go’s. Was awesome watching it. Per flightaware, it came from Alabama then to Ohio. Its destination was Indianapolis, but was diverted to Ohio. Then to Rockford. Sweet airplane. While I was waiting for it, I photographed a few aircraft coming in to land.

I made a photo book (small portfolio) of some of my photography, and I can honestly say I am ecstatic on how well it turned out! I am not the best photographer, then again I am not the worst either. But this photo book turned out amazing. I sit here and I think to myself, how good these photos are and that I took them. People always compliment my work, but I never really understand until I sit down and admire it myself. I do not want to sound egoistic, but damn I am a good photographer ;p
Not alot is going on with me, I went with a friend yesterday and did a quick photoshoot. I asked her if she could take some photos of me, for I can update my photos on my websites. It was nice seeing her again and kicking it with her. We had fun, had a nice hike. The weather wasn’t the best, but it was still fun. I will be posting those photos later on.
I got my fishing license now, so I been fishing a few time since my last post. I was excited to get them, I haven’t been fishing in a long time. I actually caught a big as catfish and also a sheephead. That catfish was one of the bigger ones I have ever caught. If ya put a bottle (6 pack of pop, bottle) next to this catfish, he was bigger that that bottle. I dont know the weight, because i dont have a scale. But it had some weight to it. I catch and release all my fish these days. :)

I have been gaining a few pounds, I am up to 200 lbs now. It is because of all the pop and junk food I been eating/drinking lately. And not getting enough exersize because of working on the websites. So I was curious, to how much I gained, and I stepped on the scale and damn near fell over. It said 202 lbs. So, now my goal is to exersize more.
I also need to step up on my photography. I been slacking in that as well. I haven’t updated my 52 week project in a bit. So that is another goal of mine to accomplish this week. I have a few ideas in my head on what I want to do for this weeks photo ;p But I will probably end up doing a spontaneous photo and I will like that alot and make it my photo of the week lol.
I sit here and think to myself, on how stupid some people can be at times. Obviously some people have no clue on things. All I can say, is the famous quote
“Keep Talking Asshole, All Your Doing Is Making Me More Famous”
I think that quote sums it up. The funny thing is, your game, you suck at it. I play much better at it than you 
I use all that negativity towards me, as inspiration to piss ya off even more. 
Below are two songs I have had in my head for awhile now. Fucking amazing songs! You need to listen to them!
Simply amazing songs!

Monday, April 30th, 2012I guess I need to blog a little bit more than I have been, LOL.
I been focusing a lot of my attention on RS the last few weeks. I have did a lot of updates and added many new features to there. Its been very time consuming, but well worth it in the long run. I been working on making a generalized video for RS as well.
I photographed the Peanut Butter Dualthon out at Rock Cut State Park the other day. I enjoy photographing events. The weather was very poor for photography and the race. It was cold and rainy and the lighting was poor. But it was still fun, getting to see the competitiveness in the competitors. They had to ride their bikes around the park three times. I have rode around the park myself on a bike, and it is very hard on some of the hills. These competitors made this look easy! They were flying by. I was amazed by the speed they were going around the park. Some very athletic individuals. Many kudos to all those who participated in the event. Keep up the good work. I never did hear who won the event. I was busy photographing the racers, when I heard on the loud speaker they had a winner. I will upload some of the photos later on.
