I am not working at the moment. I go back to work in a few days. So I have been sooooo lazy.
Well at least I kind of cleaned up my website a bit and updated some info. Now if I could find the energy to post new stuff. :)
Other than that, I did totally nothing today. Fell asleep sitting!!! lol ...how sad! lol

3 2 1 no camera now!!! :(
Yes, just like it sounds.
There were 3, then 2 then finally one, but now there are ZERO! grrr!
One was film, so that just had to be eliminated, specially since I had two other digital ones.
So now we are at....TWO. So I got my point and shoot and my D-SLR (both Canon).
I decided to take both of my cameras on my little vacation.
The trip is doing great and pics are rolling in. No issues and batteries and all just performing as needed.
So here goes the list of things starting to go sour for them.
While on the Maid of the Mist boat, I drop my D-SLR after thinking that it is on my neck strap around my neck. I just let it slide out of my hands thinking that it's safe. At the same time I feel no pressure on my neck and next it's a painful to watch collision course at full speed to the steel deck of the boat. OUCH!!!! All I can do is to scream and say...FUCK! But it did survived the water from the falls and the actual fall from my hands. Along all this I changed lenses a few times and it was windy and I should have known better. After getting back to the hotel and I start to get ready for the New York City leg of the trip and I noticed tons of specs on the test photos that I am taking before the next trip. I tried to clean it but I managed to make it worst and trust me that I did make it even worst after it was bad. Well at least that can go to the shop and get fixed for cheap. But I missed on tons of pics. I learned my lesson about switching lenses outdoors. Next time will be simple. Two Bodies, Two good lenses and I am done!
Then while in Boston and deciding to leave my D-SLR at the hotel room, since it is raining like crazy. I just take my P and S Canon and since it fits in my pocket, it is all heaven. Pics here, pics there and over there and on and on. So I am almost done with the city and on my way to the car, we stop at one last store. My friend goes in and I just stay outside and decide to seat on a bench and I did. Camera in the back pocket was not happy. DEAD! cracked screen. Totally useless now.
Well,
Now I have a great excuse for a new digi-cam.

Right here too
Well I will tell you that I love driving. I just came back from a trip across several states from the South to the North East of the U.S.A. and it was amazing to see all the things that this country has to offer.
Why do we even bother to go to other countries? Seriously. We have so much here that looks or it is even better than what other places have. I know that we have no Eiffel Tower or Mount Everest, but we have Lady Liberty in New York City, N.Y. and Mt. McKinley in Alaska that tops 20,320 feet. Don't want to go to Alaska? Well, then go to California and see Mt. Whitney that climbs to 14,494 feet.
How about food? How about art? How about Beaches and so much more. I can go on and on with places to be right here, right on this soil and if you feel like traveling out of the mainland, there are many options and you can still be on U.S. soil. Hawaii, U.S.V.I., Puerto Rico, Alaska and many more.
So no excuses!!!
For example:
Oldest continuously inhabited European established settlement in the continental United States is Saint Augustine in Florida and it is only preceded by Puerto Rican colonies and Pensacola, Florida, which was destroyed in 1559, and Fort Caroline, destroyed in 1565.

Back in reality....again.
Well,
The trip of a lifetime it's officially over. :(
Why and how I ended up in a trip to almost Canada and back? Well, simple after been laid off twice from the same job and re-dumped (yes your read right, re-dumped by the ex) I decided that I have to just clear my head and what a better way than a road trip.
So I texted a friend and asked her a few random questions and the next thing that I know is that we are both on a car driving towards the Niagara Falls. Sweet Jesus, am I crazy or something? I am not sure, but oh well, too late now.
Awesome time in Niagara Falls, Boston, Providence, Milford, New York and Philadelphia among other places.
I managed to add a little over 4200 miles to the car in a week and that translate onto a lot of what I call ASS MILES for all the sitting time that I added to my butt.
Well now I am back home and really sad that it is all back to reality and that sucks.
Had the time of my life with someone that I never imagined I would. I was just looking at some of the photos and I will tell you that I only wished that it was a never ending trip. It was a great time of unscripted life at its best.
Thanks friend for putting up with me and such an amazing time.
