Flickr Account Upgrade?
Well, since I’ve gotten my new camera, the awesome T1i, I’ve undoubtedly been taking several photos. Now, the dilemma is do I start to dole out the required $24.95 to Flickr for a “Pro: account that lifts the 200 photo limitation and gives me statistical goodies?
Is there better free alternatives? I know the membership fee for Flickr is very reasonable, just not sure if it’s another bill I want to incur. To Pro or not to Pro that is the question…?
Buckie 4 Sale?
It’s really hard to even attempt this, but I am attempting to locate a loving new home for our bird Buckie. He is a Sun Conure, his personality is remarkable and his dedication to his owners sincere. Unfortunately, both I and my wife are working full-time and in college; I feel the bird is not getting enough personal interaction and love that he needs. If you are a home person this bird just LOVES to be with you and out of his cage! Also, as a forewarning he is very vocal (not talkative), and will demand attention if you are home.
Here are some photos of him…

Here is some new photos I upped recently, check them out: Flickr: Your Photostream.
Picture Time…
I have been enjoying the T1i immensely, learning a lot and hopefully growing my knowledge of photography. Here’s a mixture of some shots I’ve taken; also, attempting and toying with HDR, but need to purchase a tripod before I’ll man-up to post them.
Canon Rebel T1i, Loving It!
Well, the wife persuaded me to get a camera instead of a computer; let’s just say that I am much happier with the camera instead! I haven’t owned a camera in what seems like forever and whenever I did it was a simple Point and Shoot; now this badass T1i is just slightly a step-up and will definitely quench my desire for photography again.
Here are a few of the first photos:
Why All the Apple Hate?
Soundly I can comprehend that the nature of our human race amuse the fact of others’ failures; but for some unknown reasoning I am perplexed by all the sudden Apple hate and mockery amiss! Does the iPad really pose that huge of a threat? Maybe, if others weren’t as timid to just dive into the world of unknown, just maybe, then they too could appreciate Apple’s success, wonders, and innovations!
I won’t start the whole debacle of which tech company is better, but I can attest that for the Apple users we DO know the power of their machines and there is nothing comparable to Apple’s amazing prowess 
Is life really too short…?
You have probably heard it uncountable times and chances are you’ll hear it some more . I pose this thought: is life really too short or do we just not live our lives?

Twitter & Twinkle
Well, there I go again MIA; guess I am just horrible at dedication to this blog of mine. However, or consequently, I’ve grown fond to this Twitter craze! It’s simple, quick, and easy.
I wonder if there is a plug-in to blog my tweets, or vice-versa?
Well, back to my schedule ass kicking on some Xbox Live!
It is Really Real!
Well, after all the blood , tears, and sweat it is finally the real deal!
I secured for iPhones for my wife and I. Best Buy can kiss my $300 per iPhone ass! The AT&T store set me up with no deposit; so here is an awesome thank you to Nelson from the AT&T store here in Ocala, Florida.
Please Lord Watch Over Him…
I can’t claim to be the most sincerest or strongest convicted religious person yet; however in times of distress one runs to assurance of you Lord.
In my current dilemma of life I kindly, respectfully, and humbly ask that you care and love for my wife’s father, Mitch Mire. He is on his 3rd day in ICU at the hospital for his operation to remove his cancer.
I’ve had only but a small wink of time to share with this man and he has been the father role I believe I was never allowed. All I ask Lord is you bring him home safe to his dear wife and daughters.
Thank you.
AT&T Discourages Me
So… after finally saving up some cash to purchase not one but two iPhones for both my wife and I, I excitedly entered Best Buy in hopes of switching over from my current provider to AT&T. I was wrong; seems I’m not at their expectations of credit worthiness and they requested a $300 deposit per iPhone on the account if I was to sign-up!
I was stunned… so to get this right they wanted $600 for each iPhone + the $300 for the purchase of the two phones (not including taxes)? That alone would of been $900+ to set up a new account. I will admit I know I don’t have the perfect credit but isn’t that a little absurd?
I propose this: they implement a cellphone grading scale based on your current/previous cell phone contracts; not your credit history overall. there should be a management system that a cellphone company can access to see your fulfillment to previous carriers contracts, payments late/on time, etc.
Just my .02¢
School’s Back In! (Soon)
Very soon to be more precise, as in like 9 more days! I am super excited to get back into wrapping up my degree. I’ve fought hard and strong to get where I am; I am only applying all my wisdom that God has given me to go farther in life and reach destinations.
I just plan to set y goals higher once this degree is accomplished to strive for a better position with my current company. I’ve been granted an amazing role already, but my challenges have lessened and I yearn to expand and grow.
Here’s to my future…

Google Voice
Received my invitation for the Google Voice project… you know it really amazes me at just how much this company works on and expands into. So after getting through the initial set-up, I am quite impressed with the service so far. I especially liked the ability to search for words in a phone numbers availability! I’m not how sure how much I’ll use the service, but I plan on utilizing it someway.
Here is my # to reach me

My Brother on Sheikra!
My little brother is down visiting and it was the lord’s blessing that we are able to take him to Busch Gardens; and as for anyone that has had the opportunity to visit this great adventure park has just had to experience the insane ride of Sheikra! Well… here is my little bro riding for the very first time!
He is on the right looking like he is on a blast off from hell at 7^10 Gs! I’m the fool on the left loving the moment
School is a Go!
Applied for some student federal loans and I was approved; thank the Lord! I am already enrolled for three classes this Fall semester. Now to just get my books… hopefully I can get them on Amazon or elsewhere other than campus bookstore.
So for all you kiddies out there that think you know it all… just know: School is damn freaking cool! So just do it and get your education.
Me and My Bro!
Yepper! My little (not so much) brother is down visiting for the Summer. Here he is GLUED to the couch gaming it up, but it’s all good; I snuck a snap of us
In the New Apartment
Woohoo!
Yes the move is concluded and we are in our new home for the next 16 months. Honestly, even though this apartment complex is seemingly older I do like it much better! The layout, design, and atmosphere seem a better place to call “home”. Although we aren’t completely unpacked yet, we love it here. I may take a photo later to show off the romantic bathroom scene my wife put together!
I do believe the next move will be to a house, with the intention of settling down. Also, even after our lease is up here we will renew just to bypass the complete hassle of moving again so soon!
