Life List Update.

I've marked two things off since New York:
Number 14 - Eat Street food in New York
Number 52 - Teach a friend something.

Eating Street food...
I wasn't going to write about this until I got to it while writing about the trip in Chronological order, but then I decided I couldn't wait. This was not a typical street food experience. This food didn't involve meat, the smell didn't make me want to vomit, there was no smoke being emitted from the cart itself, and it was clean. Walffes & Dinges:

The first time I had a Wafflelini in Brooklyn. It's a mini waffle on a stick with strawberries and bananas. The second time I had a waffle with nutella. Seriously, these could be the best waffles I've ever had in my life. They are absolutely delicious. The way it works, is you pick a waffle and then you pick all the toppings... they even have sundaes with ice cream... it's amazing! This was also the first time I'd had nutella. SO. GOOD.

On teaching a friend something...

Sarah recently bought a Nikon DSLR camera, and by recently I mean over six months ago. She's been using it on auto and taking really good pictures. However, she really wanted to learn how to use more of the features and take better pictures. The first day I was there she took me to Central Park and just took pictures all morning. She really has an eye for photography so she really only needed to learn more of the technical aspects of it. I taught her about exposure, aperture, shutter speed, a little about night photography. We had so much fun experimenting a playing around. She told me before I left that she really had learned a lot form me. I hope that doesn't sound like I'm bragging because that's not the case at all.. I"m just so happy. Sometimes I try to explain things and I feel like nobody understand but me. Photography is such a big passion of mine and I love to share it with other people. Everybody should know how to take good pictures, capture memories... it's important, that is what we leave behind. I got sidetracked... to sum it up, we had a lot of fun and she took some really great pictures. Here a picture she took at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens:

Here's all my posts about my life list...

....I will be on a flight to Seattle!

There might even be some of this in the airport when I see Tam...

(Yes, I'm fist pumping in my office)



Also getting ready to mark number 9 off the Life List!

Smile, it's Friday!!

I forgot, I owed you a picture of the new ink. So here it is:

(Apologies, for the horrible quality.)

And here's Betty White dancing:

Tuesday is the new monday apparently.

I did something on my life list!

Number 8 to be exact.

drum roll......

I got my first tattoo. I actually got it on January 30th, in Austin, but I hadn't told my dad until recently two days ago. It's a red tulip on the inside of my upper arm. To be honest, I hadn't planned on this being the first tattoo I got, but I'm so happy I did it. I have no regrets. A picture will come soon!

It hurt!! BAD!! I didn't really think that it would hurt quite that bad, but surprisingly I'm kinda ready for #2. It's strange, like a hurt so good sort of thing. Ok, that's weird, but it's the truth. Don't worry, there won't be a second one for a while.


post script-
If the next time you see me I have no hair, it's because I pulled it out.
The phone has not stopped ringing all day. It's been ringing 2 lines at a time. I'm about to go crazy...

a new development.

Not too long ago, I discovered a new feature of blogger... the pages option. You can have different pages or tabs on your home page! It's pretty cool! So I just posted a new one, something that I've wanted to do for a while. It's a life list... things I want to do before I die. You click on "life list" at the top or here to get to it. As I finish things, I will write about them on here with pictures, of course, and then cross them off the list. As you'll see, some things are big (and possibly expensive) and others are small things that I've never done. I've even posted links for some of them, if you don't know what they are.
