All sorts of insanity happening right now. I’ve recently discovered that there’s a whole world of blogging outside the realm of celebrity. Who knew, right? Popping the little bubble in which I’ve been existing for the past two years has been jarring, but probably the healthiest thing I could be doing at the moment.
I’ve realized a few things:
-I’m not trail running as much as I used to, and that’s not helping my outlook. Been staring at a computer screen too long without getting outside enough.
-The words “monetize” and “target demographic” are starting to get a very visceral reaction from me. My stomach turns every time I hear them being said and when they’re being directed towards me, the hair on the back of my neck stands on end.
-I think it’s time to revise the expression, “Idle hands are the devil’s workshop.” It should read, “Meetings are the devil’s workshop.” At least with idle hands, it’s apparent that someone is being lazy. Meetings are like idle hands wearing gloves with the words “See? I’m being productive!” written all over them.
What’s the answer to my woes? A purchase of a digital SLR, of course.
A gadget nut by nature, I’ve long since been nursing the desire for a fancy-schmancy, high-resolution digital camera in the back of my mind. But now, I’ve got a few justifications up my sleeve that I think might push me over to the dark side.
-With the end of the year nearing, I am adding up those itemized tax deductions early to figure out if there are items I can add to the list to push myself over the tipping point. It’s just good business, folks!
-Keegan’s going to New Zealand, barring any unforeseen circumstances and by God, I’m going to make it out there for a visit this time. The scenery there deserves to be recorded at a megapixel quality that my little Canon point-and-shoot just can’t provide!
-I already own a Canon SLR, so there’s one less lens I’d have to buy.
Basically, this is a way to trick myself into doing my taxes early.
