A new experiment; Week 1

The Pomp and Circumstance post I did in May has really been on my mind the past month. Since I wrote that entry I came up with an idea of how to capture the exciting and not-so-exciting things I do everyday.

Take more pictures. It's pretty simple, I know.

Now if you know me, you know I take a ton of pictures as is, and I always have my camera on me. Initially I was going to take a picture every day for a year... however routine or exhilarating the day was I would capture it in one way or another. I decided that would be pretty hard to keep up. Instead, I'm just going to take more pictures than I normally do, and maybe aim for at least one a day. And (lucky you?) I'll share my little year-long experiment on here. Every Sunday I'll share a picture or two wrapping up the new or cool thing(s) I experienced in the past week. It should be interesting, mostly because there's really not a whole lot of big things coming up for me in the next year... I'm not graduating from anything, I won't be getting a new job or moving anywhere (hopefully not, at least), and I don't have any big vacations planned. So this will force me to get creative, and I'll have an excuse to do more of one of my biggest passions in life-- take pictures! I really want to get out and explore more and experience new things, so I think this will really motivate me. And in the end I'll prove to myself that I am doing some great things with my days.

Alright for the first week, June 22-28, 2008:

Thursday, June 26, 2008: I visited Ozark, Missouri for the first time. Exciting I know.

Thursday, June 26, 2008: The newsroom nearly disowned me when I asked "What's a Pineapple Whip?". I got one at the Luau later that night, and it was pretty tasty.

Look-a-Like: Leona/Daisy

It's been a while since I've posted and an especially long time since I've done a Look-a-Like. So here's a quick one I keep thinking of because of some commercial...




On the top: new singer, Leona Lewis
On the bottom: Rock of Love 2 Runner-up, Daisy

I could have sworn these two were the same person at first. Rock of Love 2 ended right around the time Leona Lewis started getting popular so I thought since Daisy wasn't Bret Michael's "rock of love" she changed her name and became a singer. I don't think these pictures do them justice as far as the Look-a-Like status goes... if you've seen Leona's video and Daisy on the VH-1 show then you might see where I'm coming from with this one. If you don't take into consideration hair and skin color, I think these two look a lot alike.
