One Ring to Rule Them All

The Lord of the Rings Trilogy available for pre-order on Blu-ray with a December release. This is only the
"Theatrical Release" with an ULTIMATE Box Set coming outcloser to the Hobbit release (December 2011).
Still even though it's being released in Blu-Ray but I suggest waiting.

Speaking of the Hobbit, it will be spread over TWO films, decided by Peter Jackson and Guillermo del Toro.
"We decided it would be a mistake to try to cram everything into one movie. The essential brief was to do The Hobbit,
and it allows us to make The Hobbit in a little more style, if you like, of the LOTR trilogy" added Jackson.
The films will be released in December 2011 and 2012.

When I Get Old

It's funny and I laugh about it everyday. Getting older... and wiser I like
to say. A handful of my friends are turning the BIG 4-0 this year (I will
next year) and I do get a little introspective.

I never really feel my age. I know I don't look my age and I sure as hell
don't act my age - that I contribute to my work and lifestyle. Probably
the way I dress as well. I will be the old guy still wearing a hoodie &
chucks! HA!!!

I am EXTREMELY happy with my life and the way things have played out.
I am making plans to travel more this year and the coming future. Paying off
bills and getting my shit straight. Been hanging with LT more & more since
the beginning of the year. We took a nice weekend trip to LA [ Pixs ] and
the Getty [ Pixs ] over Easter . We have a LOT of fun together and I like
her a lot.

I do wonder what is the next steps for me though... Marriage? Kids?
Job wise? Will I be able to retire some day and live comfortably?
Will I be working when I'm 65? Will I still be alive?? I do try to
live my life to the fullest, seizing the day and all that.

Job is going really great and making the most of my situation. I am
getting a lot of time to work freelance and a lot of creative outlets
are opening for me including my resurgence of photography, doing
drawing and getting ready to start painting.

No rest for the old guy though.


my photography makes me smile
