Time is Money
By JohnU | March 9, 2010
Time seems to run low.
Funds lower.
Yep, despite that time is money, I seem to have neither on hand.
Every dollar I earn is spoken for. Every minute of the day, occupied.
Upon a time, I had cash in hand, a little bit of leisure time. Now, I have so many writing and photography projects in my head, it seems impossible to squeeze them all into a single day.
And now that I’ve played with my friend’s Nikon, I want my own. I’ve re-doubled my savings this week, and now have $1.36 of the roughly $1,200 I need to start. And I mean start: I just looked through their catalog of lens, found one I liked, and then learned the price: an 80-400 lens (long telephoto) for only about $6,000. Fortunately, that’s not one of the first lenses I’ll need.
My 40th birthday is this year. What are the chances of everyone I know sending me at least $4 for my birthday? That won’t get me the $6,000 lens, but it ought to get me the camera and the first lens I want (a mere $700 for that).

Every word I write gets ingested, reviewed, criticized, and regurgitated by this guy before I can pass them on to you.

Drive Thru
By JohnU | March 2, 2010
Caution: Not your typical drive thru. Go on, order a number 7 (pickled fingers) and supersize it, or better yet a number 2 (with the ’special’ cheese sauce, aged past perfection and guaranteed to clear your digestive tract). Get a side order of fried worms and you’re set to go! Oh, and don’t forget a nice refreshing glass of sugar-free lemon juice!

Every year, the trees drop their sacrifice. No respect.

Mirror Mirror on the Wall

Who’s the fairest of them all?
And who, by the way, is the least fair? I need that person judging in my favor.
