Closing Out 2011.

Some of you reading this may be wondering why I have that picture above. Well, I’m glad you asked but be patient and enjoy the ride and in the end you will be answered to the best of my abilities. Harhar.

I took this picture for one reason but that reason ended up being overshadowed by a bigger reason. I actually took it to send it to someone but then realized there was a lot more going on after taking a second glance. Most people often overlook the simple things in life. Why? Well this is Six Flags Magic Mountain. Tons of people go there each and every day. As for me I pass it daily and never really pay it any concern. The location isn’t as important at this point; I’m merely using it as a point of reference.

As this year comes to a close, it’s time to look back and reflect on the good and the bad. I’ll touch on how my year went to conclude this post but first things first. Keep in mind as always, this blog is about me and right below the title the description states, “the little things in my life.” But it’s crazy how things go on each and every second that most of us pay no mind to. It’s truly sad how things slip under our radar. I do realize this is a pointless post and life has always been that way.  But isn’t it weird how you only really notice things unless they slip away from your grasp but that’s also in due part to distractions. A few days ago I chose to take my butt off Facebook (for a few days). Why? Well, I started realizing how sad my life is when the first thing I do when I wake up, when I go on break, when I get home, and so on, is to sign on and check what’s the latest post up and what’s going on in other peoples’ lives. Sad, isn’t it? Facebook, is just one prime example of a distraction but that’s where you need to control yourself before it controls you. Anyways, I can go on and on with this but I’m sure my point was in there somewhere. 

In conclusion, yes, 2011 has treated me well and I’m sad it’s coming to an end. I tried a different approach towards things; started taking control of what I do and how I do it. I started doing what I wanted to do. I realized people changed my course of direction and I need to start doing what I want to do and when I want to do it. I need to stop putting myself behind others and their priorities and start putting myself number one. The results have been rewarding but you live and you learn, yes? Alright, enough of me trying to sound all confiscated, enlighten and whatnot…on with the New Year!  Best to everyone; be safe and party smart.

I Can See!

"I can see clearly now the haze is goneeeeeeeeee!"

It's about time I did this! My headlights have been hazed up for so long, I'm surprised my lights still shined through. My baby got lasik! SHE CAN SEE AGAIN! Also decided to switch up the mirror since someone said the inside of my car looks like Sanrio....ahhh, thanks? Just mounted, haven't sticker bombed it or anything. Think I might keep it the way it is...hmmm!

Driver's side: Before.

After.

Passenger's side: Before.

After.

What cha looking at?

Mirror: Before.

After.

Let's see how long I stick with this mirror. If I don't like it I can always change it back.

Flash Photography.

Hot Imports Night. Remember this show that was popping back in the days with the flashing lights, blinging cars and the voluptuous models? Well it's back and it's creeping up real fast. This time I actually have a decent camera but my photography skills will be put to the test. Maybe I'll just slap my cam on auto, either way I needed one more weapon. I remembered that back in the day this show was dimly lit and I know my stock flash won't be enough so I had to get reinforcements.

Today, my dear mother stepped up and got me an early Christmas present by getting me a Speed Light. Can't thank her enough or let her know how much I love her but now it's time to practice enough before that day arrives.

Hooters After Dark.

Some of you may or may not know but I hit up this Hooters meet every month. Usually, people come out, kick it and head home. But then there are some of us who like to just hang around and sometimes something special happens. Couple months ago the Dayuum guys decided to stick around. Unfortunately, I did not have my cam on hand since it was being repaired but others did. Sorry for the crappy cellphone pictures but if you check out my facebook picture Jack is tagged in one of them, so check it out. Thanks again to the Dayuum crew for letting me hang out and including me somehow into the shoot. For more check out Dayuum.com

My Life In A Box.

Dropped off my computer the other day to finally get her worked on. Sigh, life is so boring without my baby. I on that thing 24/7. She has all my pictures and music and basically knows me better than anyone else. She has my favorites all ready for my use and whatever I need in one quick click. I miss her and my life is pretty boring/sad without her. Hopefully, when she returns she will be better than ever. As you can see from the picture she's a little heavy but it isn't about what she looks like or that she's gained a little weight since she's been in my life but what counts more...her constant. Til that day she returns, I am bored.

Break Time!

Wow, it's been awhile since I've posted anything hasn't it? Looks like I only had one post in October. Sorry but the quality of this post isn't all that special to make it a major comeback but to me it is. While I was on break the other day, this classic rolled up. If you guys know me you realize automobiles are apart of my life. That means all types such as this rare classic. I was just thinking how amazing it is to see these cars well taken care of and still rolling around your local streets. Think about it, these cars are older than most of us and most of us can't even take care of the car we picked up in the past 10 years, let alone 50 plus years. Just thought I'd share some Classic American cars with you all. Thanks for reading.
