Day 818 of 365 Again. My new camera got here today. This is as excited as I’ve been about anything in a while. The Olympus Stylus 1030SW. Waterproof to 33 feet. Rated for 6.5 foot drops, 220 pounds of crushing force or -10 C temperatures. What more could you want in a camera? Ok, it…

Day 817 of 365 Again. So the rest of the world rejoiced today at the thought of President Obama. I guess I rejoice a little but too. But mostly I wonder if it meant everything everyone thought it would. Did the sun shine brighter? Did all problems in the world magically evaporate. Not that I…

Day 816 of 365 Again. Steph and I left for work early this morning so we could perform our civic duty. As per usual, I found a couple races that I wanted to throw my hat into. Remember. Whenever someone is running unopposed just assume I am running against them as a writein candidate. Vote…

Day 815 of 365 Again. Are you ready for some football? I think I mentioned before how much I hate this football season. The Steelers schedule is all fucked up and it throws off my entire week. So instead of having football to watch after breakfast on Sunday, now I’m forced to watch it after…

Day 814 of 365 Again. It’s my anniversary. Ten years ago today, Steph and I started dating. She actually asked me out on Halloween though she swears up and down that she had no actual interest in me and was just using me for my DVD collection. Women are evil like that. Anyway, ten years…

Day 813 of 365 Again. Happy Halloween! And now you know what my secret costume was that I was working on these past couple weeks. As per tradition, Iw ear multiple costumes to my parties. This time I thought it’d be cool to wear three different versions of the same costume. Sure, I could have…

Day 812 of 365 Again. So, way back in January, I filmed my second major Hollywood motion picture. And by filmed I mean, I got paid to basically sit around and do nothing while Kevin Smith made a movie around me. It was actually pretty neat. That movie came out today, so of course I…

Day 811 of 365 Again. Here’s the tough part of parties. Cleaning. In fact, the cleaning before the party is so much harder than the cleaning after. Steph and I have both been so busy lately that we’ve kind of neglected the house. And now we’re paying the price. At least I’m not waiting til…

Day 810 of 365 Again. It snowed today for the first time this winter. Well, pre-winter. The tough part about having a 9-5 job is always that it takes away from photography time. Most of the time I can make that up by just not sleeping at night, but this time I had the great…

Day 809 of 365 Again. You know what’s funny. I think every 365er who starts out with a point and shoot camera gets to the point that they’re a good enough photographer that they want an SLR. I’m a good enough photographer that I want a point and shoot again. I love my camera. I…

Day 808 of 365 Again. Wow… I stayed home. After three straight days of going out, I decided maybe it was time to get some rest. So today I just stayed in and caught up on some photos of Andi. I’d write more, but I just woke up after having fallen asleep on my couch.…

Day 807 of 365 Again. This weekend had totally been about recharging my batteries. I’ve been so burned out lately, and sometimes it’s just nice to cut loose. Remember Dyllan? She up and moved to Hawaii almost a year ago because… well, because she’s cooler than everyone else in the world and can just do…

Day 806 of 365 Again. And it begins. Halloween has always been my favorite holiday. Dressing up, Parties, Candy, Girls in slutty costumes. There’s not a single thing to not like about Halloween. There’s this one legendary Pittsburgh party that’s been going on for like 16 years. I’ve been meaning to go to it for…

Day 805 of 365 Again. Everybody’s working for the weekend. Or at least I am. And it’s finally here. I remember back before I had a job, I constantly was worried about money and finding one. I was soooo busy looking for work that that was basically a fulltime job. But at the time i…
