Ice Hockey – Still lovin’ it!

So I’ve been playing Ice Hockey for a few months now, and still loving every minute of it.  Its been a lot of work, but the fundimentals are starting to click and make sense; ice positioning – where to be at what times, skating – getting where I need to be in an efficient way, and just an overall understanding of whats going on. Its a great feeling. I’ve actually had some offers to join a team which totally makes me happy!  Right now I’m still going to the Hockey Clinic’s on Tuesday nights, at Ice Town – Riverside.  But soon I will be part of a team.

I got to the ice rink a little early this Tuesday, so I took my camrea in a snapped a few shots. Ricky took a few of me getting my gear in the car too…

A view of what Temecula Valley looked like this morning.

Yep, Southern California is still burning.

Temecula Valley on Fire October 24th, 2007

Click to view larger size…The end.

Southern CA is on fire and Temecula Valley is right in the middle of it.

I figured I’d take advantage of the clear air here in Temecula to grab a photo or two of the fires that are all around the Temecula Valley.

I wish there was something I could do to help out, but too many people causes too much congestion. So if asked, I will jump at the oppertunity to help, but until then I will stay put and watch from a distance.

Self Portrait

I was out taking a few shots during the night and the moon was about half light and low on the horizon. It made a long shadow and I thought I’d try and take a self portrait shot. I think it came out pretty weird looking. What do you think?

SF protesting…

So Im lying in my bed here at the hotel in SF, and Im just lying there relaxing drifting off. I keep hearing this chanting, so I get dressed grab the camera and run down stairs. And what do I find? Israelis and Palestinian supporters on different sides of the street protesting. Yelling at each other. Good times!

Corvette Desktop

I don’t know why, but I wanted to post my current desktop.

I think it would be weird to come back here in like 5 years to see what was on it. Damn I love that car. That car, that color, a track, and a full tank. That is my heaven. Well, there are two things I would have different. One, I would have the Z06. Two, I would want black or gray interior.

3D, stereo photography!

I visit some photography sites on occasion, and I came across this stereo photography method. I thought it was really cool, so I decided to try some of my own. So I tried taking a shot of our living room. And it actually works!

So what you have to do is cross your eyes until you see three pictures. Focus on the middle one as the ones to the left and right will be dull and dim. Then focus on an object, for me the couch was the best object. Then pop! everything is 3D, and has such amazing detail. Pretty awesome.

Here is an excelent example (not my picture im sad to say):

just incase you want more info. That site says that there is about 5-10% of the people that cant get these images to work. See if you can!

On other happenings, we had a pretty cool little party last night. Lee, Shawn and Ashley, and Ryan came over and we got plastered. Lee brought over what was left of his so co and we finished that off, then we finished off a bottle of vodka and then broke into another vodka. Yeah, we were trashed. But good times were had by all. It came together perfectly too. I called Lee earlier and asked him if he wanted to come over, and he said he would. Then yesterday day I called Shawn and asked if he wanted to come over. I just figured he’d be in town for the hollidays. So he called at about 7:40 and said he was on his way. Lee called just 5 minutes before saying he was on his way. Everything just worked out great. Good times, good music, good friends, good chips and salsa…

Yeah… Getting new tires on the car today! FUCK YEAH! Im soo excited about that. Yeah, Im a dork. All good.
