Summertime

Just about every time I go to the gym, there's this girl that starts arguing with people. Her problem is there's this bike that she wants to use every day and refuses to use any other one. She signs up for it which technically gives her the right but I mean seriously, use the next bike over! (which is almost always open and the same type of bike).

She gets pretty aggrivated and just sits there behind whoever happens to be on "her" bike and complains about them until they leave. Sometimes I stay and stretch to listen but for the most part, I got better things to do... like work out.

A few weeks back, some guys and I went to SoundBar in Chicago. WAY different from the bars in Macomb. First off, cover was $10! INSANE! I hear it went up as the night got later too. The people seemed very umm... upscale from what I'm used to. Only got 1 beer which was $4. Talked to a few girls, danced with one. It was an ok time.

Anyways, I get to the bathroom and as I'm leaving after I wash my hands, there's a guy sitting in the bathroom handing out the only paper towels with his little tip basket. One of those people that I guess, you're supposed to tip. He handed me the paper towel, I tossed it and left. The idea of tipping someone for handing me a paper towel just seems downright idiotic. Maybe I'm just a cheap bastard, I don't know. It just didn't seem right. If they placed paper towels near the sink, I would have been more than capable of geting one myself.

Well about the picture, had a bbq over in Wilmette with some people from high school. Took forever to find the place and the parking was horrible but it was a good time. Just a whole lot of eating. Speaking of which, I was at 160 lbs last night. That was after dinner and everything so hopefully I can get up to 165 by the end of the summer. Mostly shot the BBQ in b&w. Desaturated a few. Used some slow sync flash. All shot with my Lumix FZ-20.

As for this weekend, should be at Great America with some people from the track team. Should be a good time. I'll probably take pictures and just try not to get my camera wet. Hopefully the weathers good for Saturday.

Lately, I've been trying to find a digital voice recorder to get so I can add audio to my pictures. Also, it would be good for journalism for recording speeches and interviews and such. It's about $102 on Amazon.com.
