Reblogged From My Multiply Account: Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary Oct 24, '07 11:35 PM

It seems that everyone is breaking up this year. I personally know of around 5 or 6 long term couples who have called it quits in 2007. I came from a long relationship as well. It's not easy to let go of someone who has been such a big part of your life. My last relationship was more than the 6 years we spent as a couple. We met way back in highschool and became best buddies in 96. A grand total of around 12 years of friendship. It was devastating when we broke up. I was drunk for a month and a half. Literally.

But i got over it. And you have to. Sometimes you feel like everything in this green earth is against you. But deal with it. It's part of being human. Emotions are what makes us who we are. We aren't robots. Feel. That's what we do. After everything that you've been through, stand up. Dust yourself off and start walking again. Raise your head and be proud that you got out of it. That you're alive.

Then one day, you find yourself laughing. Smiling. Having fun. Liking someone. It's the same emotions that got you into all the trouble in the first place. You suddenly remember how bad it felt the last time that things didn't work out. You never want to go through that again. But you look around, people love you. They laugh, smile, have fun with you. You suppress the confusion. Suddenly everything else fades out and all you see is one person. And you're in love again.

System Revamp Part II

I recently switched my photography system to Nikon from anther brand.  A no-brainer, really.  Support is everything.  And until last week, I've been using Windows-based PC's for all my computing needs.  I've gone through at least 6 desktops, and 2 laptops since I joined the digital age. Windows was second nature to me, and I probably could've navigated it in my sleep.

I'm now using a Mac.  It's the industry standard when it comes to post processing and presentations.  I've been thinking about making the switch for a few years now.  And I finally did it.  With some generous and loving support from my dear mother over in Canada, I was able to buy a 15" MacBook Pro with an i5 core.  I've had this computer for little over a week now, and all I can say is WOW.  Apple really knows what it's doing.  Forget the haters, forget the anti-capitalist morons who say that Apple is using perceived value to jack up their prices.  I'll tell you now - it's worth it!  I've never had the peace of mind that I do now.  If for that alone, it's already worth the price tag.  But of course, it's also a monster at multi-tasking, has awesome battery life, and it's very easy to use!

I'm no expert, so don't take my word for it.  I'm sure haters all over the world will unite and burn me at the stake for my opinions.  But that's all they are - opinions.  I'm not doing a comparative analysis.  No technical jargon in this entry.  I'm not measuring any speed of this or that.  I'm just saying how the laptop makes me FEEL.  And I feel great. :)
