Big Update!

Sorry for all this delay. been quite busy.

Let's see, what's new is that I am now a certified teacher. technically I'm good for only a year but I gotta take one class then I'm good for two more years then I can finish 12 more credits and then I'm good for so many more years after that.

I'm enjoying teaching a lot. The kids are...interesting. check out my flickr for some of my photo updates.

But been using instagram for a lot of photo updates. a lot of fun using that app and also seeing what other people post.

A new year

So I'm actually updating this from an iPad. Very cool. I really want one! But no, I need to save my money because of these surgeries I am having.

Speaking of, I just got one done for my knee. I had meniscus repairs and a bone graft, because my tunnel from lifeblood surgery is too large (16mm) so they filled it in with cadaver bone (to 10mm). And they also took out some hardware which I interpret as them taking out the screws in my knee which just means I can now go through a metal detector at like the airport and not set itr off again. Yes, again. I have done it twice last june when my mom and I went to San francisco for her reunion. (should have explored the ity and rented a smart car).

I just went through our first but unofficial tournament with our 14r2 team. We have such a good group I can't wait to see how well we perform. But for not we know we have lots to fix before we head out for some real tournaments. First one will be in two weeks time.

Typing on this iPad is actually kinda difficult since it's not a true keyboard. I need a real keyboard if I want to fly through this post.

Anyways, I am gonna go back to my book one. Hope you have enjoyed my randomness.

I'm hungry

Sorry that was the first thing I bought of. I just need to eat before heading to practice tonight. Anyways so earlier in the year we got paid by dean for the racers photos stuff we have done. I've sold zilch but developed a good relationship with one of the Porsche guys so I got about $50 for my time from dean. Like almost 6 months later I have finally spent that money (mainly cause it was in my paypal account). I almost forgot about it except that I've been looking at stuff to buy, thank you holidays...

Anyways I got some elinchrom flash transmitter/receiver so it should be easier for me to strobe my flash fro
A nicer distance. Now all I need to complete this is a hotshoe sync so I can fire my canon flash, or since my 580 flash is almost gone I may just invest in a cheaper nikon flash since all I have to do is plug and play (also receiving a bunch of cords with units) maybe Ivan get my 580 fixed? Only and biggest problem is that the plastics are broke near the flash head where it rotates.

Also have been thinking about upgrading my camera from a 1d mkII to a mkIII. I can also get back about $1k dollars when I sell off my unused equipment and te mkII. Idk what I'm waiting for but I guess I need just the right camera and price to unload onto my credit card.

Well guess I'll pay attention to my ride on the lightrail again. I think we're getting close to my stop.

Midnight release

Waiting in line for call of duty black ops. Midnight release at gamestop by my house, 91st ave and northern. Gotta love the weather, cold, which is expected for a day in early November. It's supposed to be in the 70s all week here in Phoenix. Not sure about nights bit I would venture to say at least a 20-30 degree change from the days. I'm about 50th in line for this game. A good turnout for the line. I made sure to pickup some food before I got to gamestop. Just wished the line after the store closed at 9 moved faster. But that just makes it closer to midnight I guess. Wish I could remember to put a chair in the trunk of my car. It's a much needed tool for my life. We have so many chairs might as well keep one with me at all times.

Anyways I'm glad I have access to netflix on my phone. Been watching eureka while I've been in line. It's a little dark for reading my current book, the lost symbol, but I work tomorrow morning anyway so I will read it during the day at wallaby instead. Joel needs to hurry his but over cuz I'm cold and need my blanket or at least a hot beverage. Well I'll try and write again and give a quick review of the game.
