Photo Woes.....

I guess its been a week since my last post. Nothing to exciting happened this week. I had planed to go to a photography class that was offered for free when I bought my new camera but the hotel over booked the room so they had to cancel the class. I was bummed since I had to drive into town about 20 miles or so to find that out at the last minute. I have been playing around with some of the webs social services lately I guess you can call them that. I am getting a headache from trying to remember all my logins and passwords to these sites. I am trying to decide where to post my online photos permanently. Flickr and Photobucket are the 2 sites right now that I have been working with and they both are good for the most part. It takes a lot of time to learn what the different services do and figuring out the right one for me is time consuming. Trying to think of a new layout for my web site www.nesilos.com it looks like a beginner web designer did it and well....it was done that way.

Easy Saturday


Well I was going to go to work today but my daycare providers daughter was sick so I couldn't go in to work. Sucks cause I really needed to work. So instead I am at home taking care of my 2 1/2 year old son and messing around with my toys. I am writing this blog on my new asus eeepc.
It is a great little machine and I think it is worth the money. I will post a picture of it and you will see the coolness of it. I have been checking out some sites on the net and thinking about things I could do to my web site to make it look better. I am also trying to learn some more about photography. My current learning project is trying to figure out Adobe Lightroom and looking at the new Adobe Express. There is so much about about photography to learn and I wish I could work on that all the time but life is so full of things to do and to get done. Thinking about what to do tonight. Would like to go to a hockey game. Guess I will see what happens.

Life is just crazy!

It seems like so much has happened since I last posted. It is difficult sometimes to talk about ones personal life but I think it helps to talk about it even if it is to a computer screen. Monday the 31st was a life changing day for me. I finally had my day in court for custody of my 2 kids. Originally I was going to file for full custody and I think I had a 99% chance of wining and getting custody, but there mom has shown a lot of improvements in the last year so I decided to go joint custody with her and I think that it will work out the best for the children. It has been a difficult last 2 years. The first year I was the primary caretaker of my 10 yr old daughter and 3 mo old son at the time. There mom was in there life, but not as much as I would of liked her to be. I understand that see needed the time to get better for herself and the kids. There has been so many issues with trust between us that I still think about things that have happened in the past and think that things will turn back to what they were before all this shit started. It is hard not to dwell on that stuff but I am getting better at it. Joint custody feels really weird to me now because before I always had the last decision pertaining to the kids and now, I find myself wanting to have the last decision but am learning that It is much better talking to there mom about stuff and working together for the better good. ( I would never believe that I would be saying this 2 yrs ago). I am a pretty easy going person most the time and don't let to much get to me and she is the total opposite, everything bothers her and It can get really annoying at times.
I am just glad the court stuff is over at least for now and can look forward to the future whatever that may be. I just want to be happy and content with the person that I am with and I hope that someday that will happen. In the mean time I have plenty of things to do to keep me busy, my 2 1/2 yr old son is into everything that he can get his hands on. It is fun to watch him learn stuff and to make mistakes and the looks on his face sometimes makes me so proud and happy to be his dad.

My oldest son that lives with me will be graduating here in about a month. I am really proud of him and I really ride his ass a lot sometimes but I just want him to be the best he can be. He has had his challenges as well and is being responsible, I believe that he will do well in life.
