I never really notice that I don't write anything on here ... until I realize that I don't write anything on here. It looks like my last post was 6 months ago, so let's catch up.
Since that time ...
* I've gotten into photography, way more than I had in the past. It's something that's filling the spot that refereeing used to hold. I've bought a new camera, a new lens, and gotten an older version to the Adobe Creative Suite (for free). Let's see what raw photos can bring and how I can become better.
* I've taken a lot of pictures for the Maryland Black Bears, and everyone around the hockey team seems to like what I'm doing. I sure hope they do, this is taking a bunch of time, but it's been great. I'm supposed to get a team issued Bauer puffy jacket this season too, which is pretty sweet.
* The Face Off Hockey Show and Chesapeake Hockey Week have good followings again.
* I've been asked to take pictures for NASCAR, at the Pocono Race Track. I might not be able to do this, due to work obligations, but being asked is a feat in itself.
* I've been to some concerts ... Jimmie Allen most recently.
* I've become far more content with being single. Honestly, I've become happy that I'm single. I see/hear some of the issues of dating/being married ... and I'm just enjoying things right now. Maybe I never get married, who knows ... it's not like I don't have something else (photography/traveling/concerts) that can take up my time. I also am a really good sleeper still.
** Unrelated to things I've done already ... who knows someone at Merriweather or Rams Head Live, that needs a concert photographer? Now that would be an awesome night!
All in all, things are going really well right now. When I look back at situations, from my past, I'm happy that decisions didn't go in a different way, or that I didn't settle for something that wasn't good for me. I feels good to be back doing something that I enjoy ... like when I enjoyed refereeing soccer.
