I’ve had a while to think about things and I feel pretty good about all the decisions I’m making for next year. Here’s my pre-new-year’s resolutions to get off my chest:

Me and Val are making a huge change, and we’re moving out of Long Beach (i know..) and in with family in Chino Hills to save some cash next year with the hopes to buy a home by the end of 2009 or early 2010. It’s weird to think that I’m leaving LB after the 4+ years I’ve existed here, but that just means new perspective, new surroundings, and hopefully new outlooks on life.

I’ve also been pretty excited about the release of the Canon 5D MarkII, and on the waiting list for the last month or two.  However I decided to pass and hold off on buying it now that it’s shipping.  I realize that if I just jump into bed with a new camera with hopes to do amazing things, I’ll be just like every other Prosumer out there.. and I’ll loose even more desire to take photos since I’ll be so excited about taking video.  ..rather I’m taking the initiative to get better at what I do know and finish my outstanding projects before I make a new investment. I also want to do my homework and be ready for the transition to video.  I plan on watching a lot more movies, in detail, and dissecting them the best I can.  I want to learn all the things you take for-granted which constitutes a good movie, understand editing a bit more and really get a good feel for color. Hopefully early next year I’ll make the purchase after I can see what other people are coming up with and figure out what to avoid.  I’m up for the exciting new challenge and in for the ride.

Lastly, my blog has always been a little side website where I’ve thrown up all kinds of randomness as I come about it.  Somehow that lost it’s luster amongst many other things recently but I’m in the process of turning it around.

With the help of a few friends I’m going to make this into a portal for the things I work on and am into day-to-day. Nothing over the top, just something focused that I’ll enjoy putting my effort into.  Looking at my stats I’ve only lost about 20% of my new traffic over the last month where I’ve been silent with posting, so that tells me it’s still worth pushing out my thoughts and forcing you to enjoy them like the good American I am.  Heh.

Back soon with a new design, and a new feel for this place.
