Holy crap, it's been over a year since I wrote one these. Big surprise right?

So, time for updates in the world of, well, me.

As I'm sure the few of you who actually read this have guessed by now, I did in fact graduate from that hell hole that is TAMU-Commerce about this time last year. Since then I've had something of a busy schedule. I spent the end of May and the beginning of June moving out of Greenville and back down to Spring. July and August were spent in California and the United Kingdom. The UK was awesome, still culling through the 1000+ photos I took to find just the right pictures to post, as well as working on stitching together 100+ panoramics from the same trip. You may see some soon, you may not. Only time will tell.

Since then, I've been working at the local Best Buy, and having a pretty good time while doing it. Lots of new friends, or at least people that I can bullshit with on a semi-regular basis. The holidays were insane, far more so than the holidays at Staples. But then again, comparing the customer base of Greenville to the customer base of Spring is like comparing a really stupid basket of oranges to a moderately less stupid, but more affluent, basket of apples. I started my tenure with Best Buy over in the computer department, as many of you would have suspected, but have since moved to the camera department and am far happier now

And despite my claims to not look to the future or plan for it at all, I've made plans recently that finally feel right. Starting this September, I'll start attending school at Full Sail in Orlando, FL. "What's Full Sail, and why Orlando?" you ask? I'll tell you Full Sail is where I'll be studying film, and possibly the business side of the entertainment industry. Yes, I know I said I wanted to move to California and study film out there, but when all is said and done, I can get a second bachelor's in film and a master's in business for the entertainment industry in three years for about 100K. In California, I could get a second bachelor's in film in four years for 200K. Bachelor's and master's in less time for half the price? I'll take it!

I recently got a chance to check out the campus and was quite impressed. All the equipment is the current industry standard, and is constantly updated as the industry changes. Another cool thing is that all current students are provided with a brand new Macbook Pro when they start that's fully loaded with all the software they'll need for their respective programs.

And now, to top things off, I'll be getting my first DSLR in the very near future (tomorrow?) If we've got 'em in stock, I'll be getting the new Canon Rebel XSI. I had a chance to play with one a bit this evening, and was quite impressed with how it handled. Probably more impressed by Canon's 70-300 ultrasonic lens, but that's another purchase for another day

So, the next couple years are gonna be one hell of a ride, but, with any luck, my plans for world domination...errr...dreams of working in the film industry in some capacity will finally come true Only time will tell.

So, as always, let's see what happens...
