That’s How The Fight Started – Round 2

My wife walked into the den & asked “What’s on the TV?” I replied “Dust”.

And that’s how the fight started…

What Kind Of Dictator Are You?

Facebook quizzes seem to be very popular right now, they basically have a quiz for everything and everyone is going nuts about them. I haven’t done yet for no reason whatsoever…However one of my facebook buddies did take the “What dictator are you?” quiz, I had no idea they had one of those.

Her result was Chavez, now isn’t that lovely? I don’t know if I would take that as a insult or as a compliment. The description seems to be very objective, without getting into any political opinion, but I don’t know if they are being sarcastic or not. Either way, I thought it was hilarious to see that.

Nice job Ms. N

Yesterday’s Newspaper [Going Out Of Business]

I don’t know how to put this…newspaper are crumbling left and right. Some of them are going online only, others are just going out of business. Although I feel sympathy  for those that will loose their jobs because of it and how it will impact the lives of many, I think this is awesome news (pardon the pun?).

This is another major change in our daily lives thanks to “the tubes of the Internets” which in my personal opinion makes perfect sense. Once major news agency started having an online presence I couldn’t understand why or how newspaper were staying afloat, I guess it was a matter of Times…ha ha ha…got that? Times….(extremely bad joke).

Anyway, another great step in becoming a paperless society and more job opportunities in the IT field, which is my field.

That’s How The Fight Started…

Couples fight, I hope that’s not a shocker for you dear reader. If you are in a relationship that doesn’t fight please share your secret with the world because I haven’t figured out a way yet…

Now, the question is not whether couples fight or not, we know every couple fights and that’s it. The goal is how to fight fair, how to fight in a way that you don’t ruin the relationship, blah, blah, blah…[Charlie Brown's teacher voice]

This post is not about marriage counseling but about a short list of “fight starters” jokes I got, so I’ll be posting them one by one…here is your first delivery:

One year, a husband decided to buy his mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift. The next year, he didn’t buy her a gift. When she asked him why, he replied, “Well, you still haven’t used the gift I bought you last year!”

And that’s how the fight started…

With Tap Water Please…

I just realized that every morning when preparing my oatmeal I use tap water even though I have a water filter right next to me. I honestly don’t know why I do this and I honestly don’t have any preference, you see, I come from a country where you could actually see that the tap water looked quite different than what actual water is supposed to look like. I drank that water many times, so whatever it is I’m supposed to get from drinking tap water I already have it and I feel fine, except for this abnormal bump on my side .

Some people get very particular about water and I find that really amusing, do I think tap water is 100% safe? probably not, but I don’t necessarily think is that bad either. Paying for bottle water more than what you pay for gas or milk is just ridiculous, it’s even more amusing when you start seeing all the different brands claiming their water is the purest of all, therefore charging more. You want to know what’s even funnier? when people start claiming one tastes better than the other…I tell you what, if your water has a “taste” then you should be worried about it. The only reason why I’d buy bottled water is just for the convenience of carrying some water with me, and even so I avoid doing that by having my own nalgene bottle and refilling it every time I need to…ahh…nalgene…that’s a subject for another post. In the meantime I’ll keep enjoying my oatmeal with Minneapolis city water, it actually adds a kick to my oatmeal.

My Own Favorite Picture Yet

Right now I’m in the process of learning photography, well, let me put it this way: I started learning photography. I don’t think you can ever learn everything about photography, I guess…

The point is I’m getting serious about it, I don’t know where it will take me or if it going to become something more than a hobby, I think I would love doing photography for a living, but it is one those things that’s hard to make a decent and consistent living off of it. I have a few friends that are making a living with photography and I’m learning the technique and art of photography from them. But there is still a ways to go before I consider my self a decent photographer.

Last weekend one of those friends invited me to a family portrait session, I learned quite a few things, it was fun and interesting. Can’t wait for the summer to arrive so I can get out and experiment with my new camera and all the things I’m learning, I’m too much of a wimp right now to go out and shoot in the cold.

Product of that session was this picture, I think this picture represents in its entirety what I want my style to be: edgy, different, simple, fun, curious, misbehaved, evil…

I know someone with more knowledge and more experience can tell me everything that’s wrong with this picture and how technically incorrect it is, but I just like it so much…like they say: That’s what makes photography an art.

The Temptation Of Shaving

I want to shave my head but I don’t want to freak Jannike out. Long hair is getting kinda’ boring and kinda’ high maintenance, plus I can’t never make it look the way I want to, in order to do that I would have to get a haircut every six weeks at the most and that’s just not me, too many bad experiences with haircuts made that one of the last things to look forward to. Or maybe I’m just having a bad hair day…
