SO I haven't updated my journal since I first started here, and I figured this would be a pretty significant time to do so.

I gots a new lenz! 55-300 Pentax DA somethin' rather. I lover her to death! Umm, what else?

I'm very tempted to quit my job, join up with some missionary group, and travel to Africa. I've had this dream of going to Ghana for the last couple years, but my stupid job (and need for money) keeps getting in the way. I guess I'm sort of fed up with working to pay for schooling so that I can get a good job to make more money. It seems as though every single aspect of my life is dictated by my need for money, and I don't like it. Not one bit! I also hate working with food, so that might have something to do with it. If I could get a decent job that had some relevance to photography, I would be SO happy.

Thanks to all those who watch me! I <3 you guys (and gals )!!!

Peace, Love, and God Bless!
