Could It Be?

One of my goals for the new year (along with my fellow blogger Thoughts on Paper) is to volunteer at a presidential candidate's local office. If nothing else to learn a little more of the political process. Initially I said it wouldn't matter the candidate as long as the experience was fulfilling. Over time that too has changed. In watching the news last night and this morning I see presidential hopeful Barack Obama's performance in Iowa and it made me wonder; Could he become president? His showing last night was impressive and for me surprising. While I would like to see him become president, I keep thinking his lack of experience will hinder his progress. Despite that, I wish him well and want to see him succeed. I guess if I plan to volunteer in his offices I need to work on my support. Good Luck in New Hampshire, Mr. Obama.

Happy New Year!!!

Ok so I know I'm a little late but I couldn't possibly start with anything else. As mentioned in the previous post, I am in Trinidad for a LONG holiday.  The weather is hot !!! In the past few weeks, I have shopped with my sisters, attended an Aunt's 75th birthday party and celebrated both Christmas and New Year's. It has been a memorable one to say the least.  One of the main reasons for my coming during this holiday period was to spend time with my sisters. Living in different countries makes a yearly gathering difficult. Needless to say I was the ONLY one touched by this sentimental thought. 

They went on their way daily and didn't give my being there so much as a thought. I thought i would show you the ungrateful parties so you would know them when you see them. This photo is from New Year's Day.  It was taken with my new Nikon D40X. I am falling in love with this camera. The company's slogan is EVERY one can take great photos.  They were right.  The photo was a little dark when it was taken. Once I transferred it into the program, I just brightened it up a little and whola! Beeyootifull. In reality though I need to spend a some time with the video to trouble shoot some of the problems other problems I am having.  Some of the photographs have come out a little blurry. Not sure why especially since they look great on the camera. If anyone has any thoughts or ideas as to why this is happening, please comment.

 On another note, I normally write out my goals and dreams for the year but for some reason I didn't do it this year.  I obviously have a few in mind and would like to put pen to paper as soon as possible. To me putting it on paper makes it seem valid. Got any ideas? Until next time. All the best to you and yours
