It’s been raining hard all day. The winds are blowing like a penniless girl in Amsterdam. There’s no doubt about it. Summer’s gone – Fall is here. Or Autumn, if you’re into that kind of shit. Anyways, I don’t know what to think about it. I hate the short days. It’s getting darker and darker every day. I love to hear the rain brutally crash upon the windows when I’m inside. I hate that same rain when I’m forced to go to school. But I love the fact that I can stay in all day and blame it on the weather.

It’s been a couple of weeks since I last posted anything. The reason for my treason is school. I’m back to my IT studies. This time with what I like to call Motivation. I’ve finally settled in now though, so things are going great. I really think there’s a slight chance I’ll actually become something this time around. That’s kinda cool.

I’d like to thank everyone who gave me their valuable feedback and experience when I wanted help deciding on a DSLR, but as things unfold it seems I neither have the time nor the money to make such an investment now. The time is obviously because of school – I want to do well – the money is also, well kind of, because of school. I bought a Macbook Pro. And there’s no doubt about it; It was expensive. But so far I’m very pleased, and hopefully it’ll help me get trough all of my assignments when they start to pile up.

So there you have it, a little update about what’s going on. Stay tuned the next couple of days for pictures of me transforming from a 40 year old dirty hobo to a twelve year old innocent altar boy. In the meantine, if you’re feeling creative, I urge you to drop by my girlfriend’s oekaki board!

Oh, and I apologize for that penniless girl comment. I don’t even know what that was.

Hey, you..again! Yes, you…again! I want your help…again. (I’ll stop with this now) I’m in dire need of a new hobby! I want to start taking pictures. I even added Photography to the category list. However, I know I’ll never be a great photographer, or even a good one – that’s besides the point. Like this blog, I want to take pictures for my own sake. I just want a decent camera I can toy with, a gadget to spend time with, a hobby. A potentially very expensive one, but a hobby nonetheless.

The last time I asked for help through this blog I got a lot of feedback. It was very helpful, so please, dear reader; If you have any experience and knowledge, whether as a total newbie like me, or a pro – please do share. I’ll be forever grateful.
