Don't get me wrong, I am a huge advocate for Apple computers. I think they make amazing products. In light of that, I still think the MacBook Air is kind of useless. I saw this video just now and had to post it.

Generosity
I have neglected to type this for a couple of weeks, but I will not be completely sorry for the fact that I am now typing it.
Some may know and other may not, but during my recent time in Argentina, myself and a couple girls on my team were robbed. I will not get into the details for multiple reasons. The first of them being that for you to understand this post, all you need to know is that I was robbed.
Anyways.
Where was I?
Oh, yeah.
I was robbed.
Now we're back on track. I was robbed. I will tell you that I was robbed on the first day. It is kind of amusing. Among the things taken was my camera. Now, this sucked. Very bad. I love being able to document my time overseas photographic-ly. (I think I just made a word?) Luckily, as I already mentioned, Jenny allowed me to use her polaroid camera some to allow me to let my creative juices flow. Now I have been back for about a month and a half and I still do not have a camera. (And the way it looks, I won't have one for a little while longer either.) (Sucks.) There is some background you need for the point of my blabbering.
A couple weeks ago I received a text message from Micah, who I assisted in leading our team. It read something like, "You need to come by my office as soon as you can." I didn't really understand the urgency. I just figured she wanted to catch up since we had not seen each other since we had returned from Argentina, but I replied that I would be able the next day. The next day rolls around and she then sends me another text message reminding that I need to go by her office. I still did not understand the urgency. Hours pass and I eventually find myself in her office. Once there, she notifies me that she has recently purchased a new 40D for photography school. She also lets me know that she is going to let me borrow her old 20D until the time comes whenever I get a new camera. I was blown away. Her generosity made me very happy that day.
Though I now have a camera to use, I still haven't used it. She was not able to let me borrow any lenses, so as of right now, I am lens-less. But, the fact that I even have a camera to use still amazes me.
I want to be a person known for being generous. Generous in time. Money. Possessions. Knowledge. Wisdom.*
*Wisdom may come later in life when I actually obtain some.

Stuff White People Like
I have to direct everyone to a very funny website that I think that every white person needs to read.
Stuffwhitepeoplelike.com is all about the obvious. Some people get offended by it, whether they think its racist or because they read it and see themselves. Whatever. I happen to think its hilarious. I think you should check it out.

_I cannot to forget to thank Jenny. She was on my team that I went to Argentina with. She let me use her polaroid camera whenever I wanted after I had an incident and became sans cameras. She is the reason I am able to post the couple polaroid shots I previously posted and the reason for the shots that are still coming. Thanks Jenny.
I am sans camera right now. That will last for I don't know how long. Hopefully not too long though. Not having a camera has allowed me to think up some ideas that I would like to design. I want to focus on putting my creative juices in those directions while I cannot capture light. I was enlightened to a cool thing today through another blog I follow. It was this art show that had pieces based on the theme of "The Lost Art of the Film Poster." People either revamped old movies poster or completely created a new one. My favorite would be this one. I have been inspired by the idea and I will try to do one for a movie to be revealed at a later time and date. Besides that I would like to create some ideas that have swirled around in my mind for a little while. If you have any design needs, please contact me.

Starbucks?
I just checked Bloglines to see if anyone had new posts on the blogs I keep up with. There were four updated blogs. Three out of the four talked about Starbucks. Kind of weird. Was this a Twilight Zone moment? I don't know. You decide.
