Not much in the mood to write, but I have to since I promised myself a blog post a day.

Yesterday and today has been kinda interesting. Last night, some repo guy came to our house to repossess a car I never owned. What a shock this was! This is courtesy of Fireside Bank, whom I’ve dealt with a few times on mistaken identity. I’ve never done business with them. They’re famous, I guess from what I’ve researched, for doing skip tracing and trying to get money from anyone they can. Well, this guy showed me the paper. It had my middle name wrong and the wrong social security number, so they accepted my explanation. I’m still going to call that bank tomorrow and pitch a major fevor with them. Get me off that list!

Work is going stressful, but not as bad as it could be, thank God! Going through some rough times, but they understand that I’m just one person and I’m getting help where needed. Still, some work is piling up for the sake of other duties and it sucks when you can’t get everything done like you’re used to doing.

On top of all this “meh” feeling, I had a conversation with a great friend that unexpectedly hurt their feelings. And that hurts me very much to know that. What is wrong with me lately!? I’m just batting 1.000 here, aren’t I?

Anyways, I’m going to try and eat dinner. Tomorrow is another new day, right? At least it’s a day off for rest.

Today was a draining day for me. The other days before this were draining as far as personal drama goes. None of that happened today, thank God! Today was only draining as far as work goes. I’m under a lot of pressure right now, this time of year. I’m taking it well (sometimes venting to Twitter, hehe!) and at home, I always take some time to de-stress and think and be alone with my mind for a bit before doing anything productive or online. Photography always helps me with stress lately. So, here I am, with another attempt at a portrait pic.

The pic was shot with a Fuji Finepix S2000HD, edited using iPhoto on Mac and PhotoFX iPhone app.

My 365 Project is going well so far. One picture (anything relating to the day or whatever), one short video, and one blog entry. Sometimes, two of any of these keep me in the habit. You can see my progress here: http://chrisw357.tumblr.com/

Speaking of photography, check out the collection of pics I did in the last two days: http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrisw357/collections/72157623140974758/

If you want to, tell me what you think. Give some criticism, or whatever.

1) Work coffee
2) A nice sunrise
3) My wife coming home from work
4) Tortilla chips
5) A long, hot shower!

Pets can sense when something is wrong with who they love. When Thommen saw me laying here, he sat on my chest and looked at me closely. He only does this when he knows something is wrong. Yes… This whole day was just wrong.

My wife snapped this pic today. And she’s a sweetheart for doing so.

Well, thanks to a couple of things so far, it looks like 2010 is off to an entertaining start!

First, Christine shocks the hell out of me by actually LIKING and recommending a symphonic metal band to me. If I haven’t already told you guys, her and I butt heads so much on music tastes that we often end up listening to music via headphones around the house. Unfortunate, but it’s a workaround. Anyways, the band is called Delain and I bought their album immediately after she played a few samples. Very good stuff, with just enough of a commercial sound to appeal to more of the masses. And the singer has got such a phenomenal voice! The music is also progressive enough, with at least a couple of key changes in their songs. Here’s the video for their single “April Rain”

The second cool piece of entertainment was the finale of the Doctor Who: The End Of Time two-parter that finished off the seasonal specials after the 4th season. This finale was totally unexpected, and the ending was so touching, it made me cry. I’m a softie for stuff like that. David Tennant gives up his role as the 10th Doctor with pure style and heart, and Matt Smith picks up the torch as the 11th Doctor with some of the weirdness we saw from David Tennant’s beginnings, but more manic. I won’t say any more. You’ll have to see for yourself!

So, two very entertaining and cool things for me this year so far… I can’t wait to see what else 2010 has in store for us! Cheers!

P.S. – Just got news after planning this blog entry that my beloved pet, Beavis, whom my parents have has since I moved away, died today. I’ll write about this tomorrow.
