Flight

Haven't updated this in a long while. I have a lot more in store, but this will do for now. I've uploaded a couple of touristy shots from London and elsewhere to the photography section.

I like this shot; I somehow managed to get a really clear shot of an American Airlines plane taking off from a London airport, bound to the US no doubt, on one of those cold, sunny winter mornings that the UK does so well. 

This image really captures how I'm feeling right now. Sick of winter. Stressed with work and ready to escape the cold weather.

I don't really mean the following quote, but it does have a certain appeal to it...

“Don’t let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner.”

— Heat (1995)

The British Museum

When you enter the British Museum you are struck with the scale, the beautiful architecture and the clean modern look of it all. The entrance into the Great Court is dazzling to any newcomer and when the roof was put on in 2000 it was the largest covered area in Europe. The coalescense of old and new is monumentally striking and neither jarring nor gaudy. 

I love museums and the British Museum rivals any I have ever been in. There are artefacts from every age of history and millions of individual items. I could spend a week in this place and never get bored.

If you are in London, you have to go. If not for your own interest then at least go on my behalf.

Happy New Year

So 2015 started great. Watching a nebula of fireworks explode off of a bridge on the Thames with my wife, two other great friends, and thousands of strangers. 

With every new year comes apprehension and excitement and this year has both in plentiful supply. I'm now starting my second year of marriage and my second year of full-time work. While my marriage has been something worth cherishing, my work life has been a serious chore. 

I have had so many doubts about my current work situation and despite having a love for some aspects of my job, the indifference to other aspects has started to turn into boredom, frustration, and high amounts of stress.

I don't know where I will be when the clock strikes twelve on the eve of 2016, but I hope for some positive change and if I get to have as great of a new year next year, well, that would be great too.
