Vacation is finally here...Yahooooooooooooooo:)

Today is my first full day of vacation. Im off for a
little over two weeks. Im hoping to get a few things
around the house done that Ive been putting off and
perhaps go an a few day trips. I know New york is on the
list and a couple other places. My priority is to complete
my latest paintings then build my new website to replace
the one I have up at www.oilpainterusa.com
I have quite a few completed right now but I need to take
pictures of them now. I bought a new digital camera at
best buy electronic/computer store two weeks ago. Its a
Canon Powershot SD1000 (digital ELPH series) and i
absolutely love this compact little camera.
Lets see, I pretty much let some time go buy since ive
updated my diary so here goes....
A couple of weeks ago me and my artist pal dan went to
philadelphia to the "US Artists show" at the Armory. This
show has a large collection of the finest artwork outside
of museums. The finest Galleries in the U.S. are
represented there and they bring out their choice of
paintings to display and sell. Its a collectors dream if
you have some major cash to invest. Well, we didnt but we
had a blast walking around and checking out all the cool
artwork. We saw them mesuring this one painting which had
a million dollar pricetag on it. Literally. The buyer
wanted to see if it would fit on his livingroom wall. Isnt
that funny...a million dollar sale could be stopped by the
mere fact that the painting wont fit on the buyers
wall..hahaha. Thats fucked up!
My ex girlfriend is still living with me. We get along
fine for the most part but she will be vacating the
premises when she finds a place to go. Right now I can
tell she is dragging her feet on that because i know she
can leave anytime she wants to but whatever. I dont mind
her here most of the time. As long as she stays somewhat
cool she could stay. Were pals right now. I have enough
pals..im not looking for another one. If I want a woman
living with me I want her to be my girlfriend. Otherwise
its just a roommate which Im not interested in. Dont need
it and dont want it.
So tomorrow we plan on going up to the Appalachian trail
for a day hike. Im so into that. Heard the weather is
supposed to be pretty nice out. Gives me a chance to use
my new camera also taking some good nature/Appalachian
trail pics. I had it out a few times now and the camera
takes pretty good pics but the really nice thing about it
is with the touch of one button is opens up and is ready
to shoot within one to two seconds. I tried the telephoto
lens and its probably my favorite extra on the camera so
far..I never was really into telephoto lenses but when I
took a picture of this small berry up close on my last
hike and put it on my computer it just looked totally
awsome. it was clear and huge on the screen. Its my
wallpaper now. So tomorrow should be a good day.
Other than that its been a pretty lame couple of weeks
since I wrote last. Lots of travelling for work and
sleeping from travelling. ho hum. Glad vacation is finally
here!!! later.
