I see the world through pixeled glasses

I'm not a geek. I'm not the least bit cheesy smelling.

The other day I woke up to see my neighbourhood blanketed in a cover of fog. What was my first thought? Grab the camera and snap some pictures on the way to work, which is exactly what I did.

I got a few good ones around where I live and almost missed my train due to a freight train preventing me from crossing the tracks. Which wouldn’t have been so bad as it would have given me an extra half hour to take more in my area, but the freight train passed and I was able to catch the train in to work… sigh. I only hoped that the fog would still be around when I get to the city. Well, it wasn’t as thick but there was still fog rolling between buildings which was great because who can predict when you’ll have thick fog in down town Montreal.

I even had a location in mind to take some photos this time. See, a few weeks ago I had to go to Brockville Ontario to meet up with my wife and daughter. Well, thanks to some of the crazy Native peoples from my rez blocking the train tracks (it’s okay, I can say that since I’m part Native), the train was cancelled and I had to take a bus. So I get on the bus and away I go, not realizing where in the city I was. It would turn out that I was close to where I get off the train everyday on my way to work so I was able to spot out some cool things and places to take my next set of pictures. So mix up some fog with new photo locations equals some very nice pictures. I was very pleased.

Next week I’m off to E3. It’s all pretty exciting and scary all at the same time. See, I’m a worst scenario kind of guy so I’ve already painted up some pretty crazy (although logical in my mind) situations to happen while I’m gone. Everything from my plane going down in a huge ball of fire to Canada being over thrown by some other worldly government thus preventing me from retuning home and so I have to live in the airport. It could happen. Plus there is the fear of all the greasy, sweaty, cheesy smelling, socially retarded geeks invading my personal bubble that will be attending E3. I’m not sure if it’s really true to be honest. See, I’m an E3 virgin. I’ve heard people say that, yes it really is that bad and no, it’s not. I guess its all how you look at it. I’m bracing for the worst though. I’ll of course take pictures when I’m there and give a recap on my first E3 when I return.

As long as Canada is still here when I get back.
