I have started reading the Strobist blog and it got me playing. Its all about everything photography lighting. Lots of relay great stuff. It inspired me for a couple of days. Trying different things, in the last 3 days I have taken about more than 200 pictures of my self. I decided to keep two of them. This one is one that really strikes me.

This makes me look downright scary. Nothing special here. I just have my smirk of a smile, ( Apparently I can't smile properly ) and a look in my eyes that is just a little unsettling. Now the really scary part is that I wasn't trying to make a scary face. That is just me, waiting for the blinking light of my camera's timer.

Has anyone else seen themselves in a picture or video and been surprised at how they look? Ether scary like me here or even Why the hell was I so excited!

It's no secrete. My my feelings about kids are simple. Kids are great... for maybe an hour at a time. Much more than than that, and they really start to bug me. I never really put my reasons in a list. But this one is pretty good.

I would have to say numbers 3 and 5 are my biggest reasons for not wanting any kids.

3) They Are an Economic Drain.
Food, clothes, school-supplies, tuition, school-projects, toys, fast-food, prescriptions, not to mention having to pay for a large enough living space for two adults, plus however many of them, those two adults choose to have. If you rent, then there is always the potential of them destroying/something that you will have to pay for.

5) The TV Shows and Books you will have to Endure.
A big part of knowing nothing, is poor taste. Taste is a product of experience, and therefore, there will be a considerable length of time before they like things that make sense. You are obligated to read stories to them unless you want them whining about it when they grow up, you are also obligated to surrender at least one of the TVs in your house to the Disney Channel and Nickelodeon for several hours each day.

Maybe that makes me a bad person. I don't think it does, but it might. And if it does, well then that is just something I'm going to have to get used to.
