A New set (pair) if wheels

So I've been in need of some outdoor exercise. So, I bought a blue used 2009 Cannondale mountain bike yesterday.

Hurry Hurry!, Hurricane coming!

So, the beginning of the week, I kept expecting a sunny weekend was coming.  Planning all around it.  I was hoping to shoot some pix and have some peace out on the beach, but now I realize that my mode of transportation will be my surfboard.  That'd be cool.

Oh, and another note; My newlywed wife and I are seriously hoping to move to Tennessee. That is, if its the Lord's will...we will.

8 Days Left

Of unmarried life. I'm pretty sure my wedding is going to be a blast!

WaterWorx

Waking up @5:15am to hear the barrage of rain drops on my windows, breathing limited to my mouth, congested throat, and a whole heavy-lifting/long-walking work day ahead of me. Still waking up. I have a 20oz bean waiting for me at Wawa. Adios.

50 Prime

Four 50mm 1.4 lenses: (from left) Sigma, Canon, Nikon, Pentax

I got my tax refund and invested in a Sigma 50mm F1.4, and I found it to be fast, heavy, and sturdy. At 1.4 it can be quite ethereal with bright light sources and hotspots. It has a large 77mm filter size, which I have a multicoated UV and 8-point star filter for. Sweet lens.

A new path.

Photographically speaking. This would be in reference to the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 I just ordered, and the fisheye that i'll hopefully order soon within a few weeks. I plan on shooting everything with the 50, perfecting my prime methods. I never had a lens with an aperature wider than 2.8, (Sigma's 17-70) which was awesome, so this lens should be real sweet! I wish for these Sigma lenses over the times:
-17-70 2.8-4 OS HSM
-105 2.8 OS HSM EX MACRO
-180 3.5 IF EX MACRO
- 70-200 2.8 EX
- 8mm 3.5 Circular Fisheye

And any old metal FD (film) lenses I can get.

Kalustyan.

(Kah-loos-chee-in) A spice factory in Union, NJ is where I start my work day today. Different crew, different locale. This is my fourth jobsite, this one being electrical-concentrated. Should be a good learning experience.

Nice and easy. I was able to do my taxes this morning in a matter of ten minutes, thanks to an Android app by TurboTax-creators Intuit, called SnapTax. All I gotta do is take a picture of my W-2 and it translates it into digital info. Crossing my fingers as I watched it calculate my refund; which not only turned out positive but alot more than I expected. And, since I didn't get to do my taxes for the last two years, I asked my former employer to send me copies of the W-2's from those years. So, I should be rollin' in refunds within a few weeks.

First day out

So I started my new job with a solar company last week. Today is my first day out...to who knows where. We're driving through Old Bridge right now. In a van with five guys, 4 of which smoke in the car. But I'm here still because I have a goal in mind. I have something worth striving for.
