Bye Bye Bye...

Ok. So this post isn't about the video. But I hope it got your attention! But random comment. I don't know how Justin brought sexy back cuz he looks like a dork in this video :P

So onto the purpose of this post!

I am leaving Xanga. I don't feel like I need to maintain this anymore. I will leave it up, but will no longer update it. Instead, I am going to create a super secret blog that none of you will ever find!! Ever. A personal diary of sorts.

I guess it is also fitting to write one last declaration for my last post. I am no longer single ^_^. Not that I am dating anyone. But I am taking myself off of the seldom visited market. For a good long time.

Later y'all.

Le Sigh...

Not that I'm calling myself a girl. But the message holds true.

I Have a Dream...

A suburban house with a white picket fence.
Toys strewn all over the yard.
A refrigerator encompassed in artwork.
Waking up each morning to...

Two wonderful kids.
One boy, one girl.
A woman that I love.
Who loves me back.

At some point you come to a realization.
That you're still sleeping.
At some point you wake up.
And find out it wasn't real.

We fight to get back to our dream.
To dream once more.
But we lay there.
And know it it will not come.

Then the dream is lost.
Try and try and try as we may to remember.
Left only with a vague memory of what was.
And soon it is gone.

It is that point that you let go.
For you already have.
It is that point that it fades into history.
And you forget.

Because dreams are fake.
Not meant for our waking hours.
Which are filled with truth.
That dreams do not come true.

Well I am awake now.
What was it that I dreamt?
I want to remember.
But we both know.

It's time to let go.
It's inevitable.

Off the Cliff...

Graduation. I am done. Officially over the hill, down it, and off the cliff.

My new desktop background. Too bad Kuo's face is blocked, but this is the best picture I have on my camera. As you can see I had to reorganize my desktop around the heads.

My second littlest cousin!! Ahhhh I haven't seen her before today. She is so free spirited and random. And she likes to eat. And burp. Just like her other cousins. Guess it runs in the family :P

Sweet...

Found these on ESPN:

The bottom line is this: Babcock's new line combinations have pretty much checkmated Carlyle's team. The Ducks, who might be the second best team in the playoffs, just don't have enough weapons to handle the Wings. Hey, that's nothing to feel bad about, neither does anyone else.

Here's one other number of note from the Detroit-Anaheim series. In the first five games, the Wings have outshot the Ducks, 223-138

Awesome.

Phew that was close. Now bring on the Blackhawks. Original Six matchup :D

Oh and I'm pretty sure that I predicted that the Bruins would not make it out of the second round before the playoffs began.
Hiking...

At Mt. Monadnock:

I just like this pic for some reason.

Grace and her giant stick. It only gets in the way.

HAH. For some reason Xanga didn't like the other file. So I had to redit this and save it under a different name. Anyhoo, I think this is a salamander. I went off the trail slightly to wait for members of our group to go by and found him. Not very well camouflaged. I guess my next purchase will be either a different body (stupid D60 body doesn't have an autofocus motor) or a macro lens (I miss doing macro shots, really the only reason I've kept the point and shoot around).

Ben is a spider monkey ninja.

Nate is on timeout. There are ghosts in the corner...

I learned a lesson. Using the minimum f/ stop is not good at all for stopping fast action/movement. The people in a good portion of my photos are either slightly or very blurry even at ISO 1600 most of the time. I was just too lazy to change around settings multiple times. But I'm finding that I like the high depth of field. I'm guessing that I probably don't need to step down so far to get similar photos to these? But anyhoo, I guess I'll stop down more often from now on.

What mode do you use most? I'm kinda getting tired of fiddling in manual mode. Is there one you would recommend over the other? I was testing aperture priority v shutter priority v program auto, and I found that I prefer program auto over shutter over aperture.

Trekking...

Hike up Mt. Monadnock. Same trail as the last time I went up. Very proud of our group for giving it a shot especially since they had no idea what to expect and probably wouldn't have signed up for it. Pics to come later.

Star Trek is frikin amazing. I like how you need to have watched the old series to know the inside jokes and one liners.Thought it was a pretty clever twist on an old story. Now they can make as movies with this story line in the future as they want. The imax screen is the biggest screen I've watched a movie on :D I can't wait to watch Transformers on it.
