I took this picture yesterday as it started downpouring outside really bad.  Thank goodness for a covered back deck.  I was playing around with the face detection feature on my Canon S90 camera.  It will automatically take pictures when it detects a face in the frame.  I was surprised that it worked so well.

So far vacation has been fun and long overdue.  Had a great time with my family at dinner last night at the Olive Garden.  I still have a lot of things I would like to accomplish over the next week, but at the same time need to take some time to slow down and relax. 

Just trying to figure out where to start today on things I need to get done, or just head out and celebrate Cinco de Mayo!  LOL!  Lots of celebrations this week :)

More to follow on my blog...

Wow.... It has been a long time since I have posted anything on my blog.  Guess it is due to all the time I spend on Facebook/Twitter.  Seems like there is less of a reason to really keep a personal blog going anymore at this time in my lift.  I haven't decided yet, but Goinsus.com may cease to exist here soon.  I may also just move it over to a free Google blog without the personalized web site name.

It is birthday time again today for me, 39 revolutions around the Sun today.  I am on vacation and enjoying my time away from work and being able to do nothing.  I actually have many things planned on my time away, but today I am just going to relax and have some fun.  I hope that the few of you that read my blog are still following my adventures by visiting my twitter or facebook links.

I have taken a bit of a break from playing WoW, as the guild I was in decided to transfer to a server that was in their own time zone.  Most of them were from New Zealand and had a hard time recruiting people in the middle of the night on a west coast realm.  Still haven't killed the Lich King, but I'm sure I will soon. :)

Seems like I have lost my interest in keeping a blog again.  I think it has more to do with having so many other things I do.  My routine right now consists of.... work, eat, play WoW, sleep... repeat.  On my days off it is clean, shop, laundry, play some WoW, and repeat.  LOL.

What an exciting life I have right now :)  In some ways it is nice to have a consistent schedule, away from the chaos I have endured over the last year.  I also have lots of vacation coming up here soon.  I took a few weeks in May, and then get it all back again after that.  That means I have over six weeks of vacation to take in the next year.  Time to have a real vacation and do something fun and relaxing.

I will also be getting the 64GB WiFi iPad I preordered this Saturday.  My techno-lust needs to subside a bit, as I have way too many things that keep my attention scattered.  Well... except for WoW.  That is the most consistent and focused game I think I have ever played.  We haven't killed the Lich King yet, but are getting close.  Feeling a bit under the weather today, but that was probably due to my bad choice of diet last night.  Got to eat better Marc! :)

Today has turned out to be a very windy day.  The wind awoke me from my slumber, as I have been trying to get enough sleep to stay sane.  Again, I haven't really been keeping up on my blog, and I debate in my mind if I keep it going.  I have been somewhat quiet about things going on in my life, as stress has been a little overwhelming the last few weeks.  I only hope and pray that my Mom starts feeling better and getting back to a normal routine.  Same with my Dad, that is a saint when handling all the things he has had to handle the last few years.

I know that the storm will be over soon, one way or the other.  Pain and hurt does not last forever, but it is never easy having to be in pain, and see others in the same way.  Things will get better.... I know that for sure.

So anyways..... I haven't really kept up on my goal of at least putting up something interesting from time to time.  I think it has more to do with my never ending work schedule.  It doesn't leave much time for fun and exciting adventures :)  Of course, I need to make an effort on my days off to get out something other than my chores.

On top of working all day, I have been taking a few hours a night to play one of my favorite games for the last four years, World of Warcraft.  I had strayed away from playing it hardcore, and would maybe get on a few times a week, if that.  I now play almost every night, for at least a few hours.  You can see my main character over on the sidebar with the new widget they released.

Today I slept in a bit and got some well deserved rest.  Been doing laundry, garbage, dishes, and catching up on some TV shows.  I have been watching American Idol, House, The Big Bang Theory, and a few others.  So many things to do, so little time. :)

Well I better go relax some more and maybe head out of the house for awhile this evening.  Nothing like getting away from the everyday boring tasks at hand to have some fun...
