It can indeed add a little flame to the relationship. :)

Re: 52 Nights Unplugged. Well, I made I made it through my first evening of not being in front of the computer. It's not that I've never done that before, but it's the first time in a while that I made a conscious decision to do so. I must admit, I was tempted to keep working past 6 p.m. I was post-processing some close-up shots I took using the recently updated Aperture 2.0. I so much wanted to see how the photos came out and what I could do with them in Aperture, but when the clock hit 6:05, I said enough. I would return to the project tomorrow.
I haven't been a part of a blogging project for a long time. In fact, I haven't been a part of any meme for a while. But when I read about Ariel Meadow's 52 Nights Unplugged project, I felt like girlfriend was reading my mind.

Five years ago, I would have said I want live in Ghana, West Africa, and sometimes I still do. My wife and I traveled there back in 2004 and we enjoyed practically the entire month we were there. But now I think I would be too overwhelmed by the levels of poverty and poor quality of life that exist there. Despite the love seeing my people running their country, it hurt so much to see the starvation and lack economic development in Ghana. It had such so much more promise when Kwame Nkrumah was in power back in 1958.
I now think I would rather live in Egypt or Sweden. I've never visited either country, but from what I've read about these places, I think the culture of life would be so much better than here in America. I really do hate the U.S. now. It's become so shallow and hypocritical in it politics and culture. So much of the cultural life in this country is swept away by commercial interests, and its concept of democracy is a joke. There is no real democracy in this country. All there is, are goods and services. Things to buy and a plethora of commercialized entertainment. It exports entertainment like no other country can! But yet it's a shallow and narrow ass place to live. I hate it. I hate it dearly.
Went out this morning and took some first shots with my new Powershop G9. I've been wanting this almost pocket size camera for a long time. Though I like shooting with my my Canon 30D, it feels too much like work to tote the camera around in the camera bag with me when I all want to do is go out and shoot some everyday family and street shots.
