Well, it has taken almost a year of deciding.
Should I do this?
Do I need this?
Can I afford this?!

So yesterday I received a mail...

Enrollment discount included...

So yeah, today I signed up! I am now finally going to New York Institute of Photography. I cannot wait to get my first courses now!

On a side not at least I will be kept busy the next couple weeks while I wait for them.

We leave for the Caribbean on the 18th! I am hoping to have some amazing pictures upon our return.

What do you think? After seeing all of the rants today in the flickr groups I think Yahoo may have just signed their own death certificate. Between the possible hostile take-over and slumping sales... The last thing they should have done was messed with something that worked.

Flickr went down for awhile after the integration of video. Why is there a need to compete with youtube, IMHO it is a day late and a dollar short. Youtube has been around too long and *works* for videos, just as Flickr *worked* for photos. I don't want my pictures taking longer to load because of all Junior friends watching the video he just made of farting flames out of his ass for 90 seconds.

I found lots of flickr groups protesting the change, but I was amazed at the number who have already joined this group.

Show us a great April Fools' Day joke.

April Fools?

List three things you'd buy with your last $20. One practical, one frivolous and one of your choosing.

1. First for the serious practical item. I imagine it would have to go for groceries. I gotta make sure my shorties got food to fill their bellies!... Ok so their not shorties anymore.... in fact they are old enough to be helping out with bills, I should not be down to $20.
2. For a frivolous item... and yes, this would be very frivolous. Make-up.... I stopped wearing it for awhile, but I am wearing it again and I need some new make-up! :P
3. Now for the one thing I would spend it on that is something I just plain want and need... well that is easy. A diffusion flash softbox!

Is there anything you've done that you wish you'd apologized for, but didn't?

Too many things. To too many people.

I wish I had apologized to you for putting you through hell.
I wish I had apologized to you for changing.
I wish I had apologized to you for not just coming out and saying I didn't love you anymore.
I wish I had apologized to you before you died.

Share a song you recently realized you can't get enough of... no matter how many times you listen to it.

Bryan Adams & Sarah McLachlan - Don't Let go

I can't believe this moment's come
It's so incredible that we're alone
There's so much to be said and done
It's impossible not to be overcome
Will you forgive me if I feel this way
Cuz we've just met - tell me that's OK
So take this feeling'n make it grow
Never let it - never let it go
(Dont let go of the things you believe in)
You give me something that I can believe in
(Dont' let go of this moment in time)
Go of this moment in time
(Don't let go of things that you're feeling)
I can't explain the things that I'm feeling
(Dont' let go)
No, I won't let go

Now would you mind if I bared my soul
If I came right out and said your'e beautiful
Cuz there's something here I can't explain
I feel I'm diving into driving rain
You get my senses running wild
I can't resist your sweet, sweet smile
So take this feeling'n make it grow
Never let it - never let it go

[Chorus:]
I've been waiting all my life
To make this moment feel so right
The feel of you just fills the night
So c'mon - just hold on tight
