The Fight

When I was younger, I didn't care much if I got hurt or not. To fight with another human never really appealed to me. The idea of boxing doesn't thrill me. UFC is boring. A got in a few fights when I was growing up but nothing memorable. Now that I am older, the idea of fighting is very very dangerous. Getting hurt from anything, can seriously hinder my life, and the life of those that depend on me. The reason I give this thought, is because recently I saw two men lose their lively hood over a very stupid reason. Of course, alcohol is a factor. I don't really feel sorry for them. I feel sorrow for their families that now are filled with worry about hard times to come. Maybe it'll be like that, may be it won't. I know I could not face my wife with the news that our family is now in trouble due to my own actions.... Just a thought anyways.

PS Mobile & External HDD

So I've been messing around with PS Mobile on my iPhone. This particular picture was photoshopped twice. I first messed with it in the free Paint.NET and then PS Mobile (Photoshop Mobile app). In Paint.NET I messed with the contrast, saturation, and used a filter to turned it into a colored pencil drawing. After I got in on my iPhone, I opened it up in PS Mobile. From there I turned it Black&White and in another version, I added a boarder. I use the picture now as her profile picture in my contact list. Personally, I love this picture even more now. I find the lack of color can be a stronger photo element than color, depending on the composition and subject.

Of course, after doing all this post production work, it would suck to lose it to a hard drive failure. After I got the Wifes laptop infected, I was incredibly happy my bud Barrett got me an external hard drive. Transferred all her critical files and then boom, after setting up Vista again, put her files back on and it was mostly like nothing happened. On that same note, having your information written to DVDs is even better. Going to take a few days, but all our information (including all the photos, videos, and documents). Back up your stuff! Storage is cheap, replacing your photos of your life gone by, is not.

The Bullshitaky

No matter what your job is there is always going to be bullshitaky that you are gonna have to deal with. I hope that the next job I have, whenever that's going to be, doesn't have as much crap to deal with. Or if there is, I'll be paid more more to deal with said bullshitaky. At ther times, I'm astounded at the crap that comes out of my upper management. Why you ask? Because it's almost all Men. Yes, it may be sexiest, but I held the belief that because there were next to no women on site there would be less crap and or gossip. I have learned the quite the opposite is true. Gossip, and especially bullshitaky, is worse when it's just men about. I'm not sure why, but that's just how it is. They whine about everything much more than women, albeit maybe in private. I'm guilty of it at times as well, which is why I know it's all the more true.
