Madness does not come by breaking out, but by giving in; By settling down in some dirty, little, self-repeating circle of ideas; by being tamed.

Wants and Needs
I want to go on more adventures. Be around good energy, connect with people, learn new things and grow.
Regrets & Dreams

Run Wild
Maybe some men are not meant to be tamed. Maybe they just need to run free until they find someone just as wild to run with them.

Apple > Android
So I went ahead and downgraded to the iPhone. I don’t know who I am anymore.
Bad Apple
So the great iPhone experiment failed. Two days later I upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy S5. I tried, I really did. I wasted money on apps to help with the experience.
Overall, the lack of customization and tweaking did it for me. It is such a closed system. I prefer open source software and systems. So I’m back to Android.
Journey & Discovery
The most adventurous journey to embark on is the journey to yourself. The most exciting thing is to discover who you really are.
I’m on the road this holiday weekend. Don’t even try to stop me.
Excuses, I Have A Few
Houston heat and humidity as well as 60 hour work weeks are killing my energy and motivation to maintain my fitness goals.
Drink n Click!
I have been asked to host and sponsor the local Houston chapter of the Drink and Click™ organization. The premise is simple- We meet at a bar to have a drink, talk about Photography/Social Media, laugh and have fun together. Then we move to another bar, take pictures in between… and repeat until the night is over!
We welcome any level of photographers with any type of gear. We might be able to teach you something or we might be learning something from you.
Drinking alcohol is not required or endorsed! Even if you only want to drink nonalcoholic drinks, we welcome you to come on our photowalks and have fun with us!
**UPDATE**
Due to remote micro management and licensing issues, I have decided to back away from this. In fact, while this organization has spread globally, it has yet to have a Houston presence. – CD 09/2024.
All Work and No Play
Makes Chris a very dull boy.
iCan’t Believe This
Memorial Day weekend. I have decided to go all in to the Apple ecosystem. This is a departure from six years of Android. I have acquired the iPad mini with retina display. As soon as I am eligible, in July, I will convert to the iPhone 5s.
Will I enjoy this transition? Yes. I love trying new technology.
Will I regret it and go back to Android? Time will tell.
