I’ve actually gotten to the point where I’m considering taking the h1n1 virus vaccination. I usually stay clear of the flu shot, as I have very heavy contact with the public these days. Maybe I’m paranoid. Still I don’t want to get to this point:

Society, the Machine, Big Brother, whatever you call it, would tend to deem graffiti a form of vandalism, not expression.
There are definite cases that I really disagree.
Like this:

It is always disheartening when following down a path you think is right and it ends up a dead end for yourself. Much more so when you put so much on hold to find out the choice wasn’t right. Bah.
Still, it provides some clear introspection. Self re-evaluation. I’ve forgotten too much of myself lately, and need to reconnect. And back to blogging and photography. I can’t even fathom that I really haven’t gone and taken any pictures in MONTHS.
As such, and being as we went to Victoria last weekend…
Dawn in Victoria

Occasionally, the ‘day job’ really hits the spot. Like today. Aside from being a low impact day physically, I got to enjoy the Sunshine Coast, home of Sechelt and Gibsons. The latter was the setting for the long running Canadian show The Beachcombers. One can only imagine my surprise and joy today when I looked straight ahead at this:
Fond memories of a great show from my childhood sure beats out the shit we had to endure last night. It’s gotten to the point now that hanging out with Golf Guy is a far superior option than watching any Canucks hockey now. Eight straight home losses? We’re just as bad as the Detroit Lions now. Frak.

Mrs. Drunk Bastard is the fifth. The fleet is in despair. All hope is lost. It definitely parallels my experience this weekend. I need a pick me up.
Without further adieu:
Yes , that is a power cord floating on flip flops

And, as I’m plowing through Galactica episodes in preparation for a slew of blahg posts, I have a brilliant email forwarded to me from Todd.
With this, nothing else need be said:
Canada wins 5th Straight World Junior Hockey Championship

You will know the truth. Still, I’m seething to see chrome toasters marching with men against half the skin jobs.
Still, I also like the bust I got at Saturnalia as well:
Cylon Centurion Bust
Twelve Cylon Models. Twelve Lords of Kobol. Twelve Months. Twelve Astrological Signs. Twelve Colonies. Twelve more days until we know the truth.

Just a couple for today… Gods how I do like the feel of Black and White…
Dawn likes the colour shot I took of this better, though I do find the desaturated imaging shows better detail not only on the fruit but as well highlights the spider web.
Meh. 
I should shoot Dawn more in black and white. She normally hates photos of herself, but somehow liked the shots I took of her the other day. Strange.
Maybe a few more pictures tomorrow.

Even though in some parts of the Lower Mainland petrol hit just over $1.50 (thanks to the biggest asshole in British Columbia wonderful man in BC, Gordon Campbell). Ahh, the completely redundant Carbon Tax which the funds will be used only for the MLA’s beer and pretzels. Joy. With honest, hardworking people taking the proverbial dildo in the ass for said beer and pretzels.
Joy.
Well, as prices increase, I further become joyous that I’ve taken the daily commute to transit. With the current costs I’m saving close to $80 per month (while still insuring the car). And on a random, in the middle of the week one day holiday, it’s nice to get out, even for a short while.
Dawn and I hit Pacific Spirit Park this afternoon, and I took it upon myself to practice getting better at Black and White photography. Amazing how much technology is put into digital cameras to create more realistic colour, and I just simply go backwards a step. Still, I like the edgier, old feel (especially when shooting with a higher ISO value to give the grain feel as well).
Picture lot #1:
More photos from today to post tomorrow.
