'Best Deal Bulletin' which caters to a few communities in Northern Alberta thought it represented this time of year very well and viola! Well, I'm a little proud
I have many near future plans I'm very excited about, and will most likely update as they unfold! Until then, blah deblah blah blah .. (*shrug)

Another good visit! While she was busy working i traveled a little more and found where My Dad, Uncle and Cousin were starting the foundations for my Uncle's new Retirement home! I had some fun getting dirty, lending a hand, and visiting those Buhlers, then enjoyed a nice breakfast with my Cousin and his new Fiance .. Happiness all around !!
The drive back home was full of sunshine and i got the chance to enjoy the flowers (so to speak) with the occasional construction site.
I now get to enjoy a few more days off work here at home to clean up, sort through all my pictures, and whatever else i just happen to feel like doing!
Stay tuned!

Here's announcing my 2000 pageviews, as represented by 'Two Thousand'. This deviation was just a dumb idea i had since i spent a few back-busting hours (no joke) rolling pennies just before. Thanks everyone for stopping by (say hi next time) and I really appreciate you watchers out there.
My other milestone is one of my favorite deviations 'Hands' as my 100th! Woot!
I'm also pretty excited about what's to come. Tomorrow I'll be photographing a local music band Meat Monster (they rock! check 'em! [link]) and rock legends HELIX! Anyone remember them?
Well they're passing through town and stopping to play a merry tune.
Til next time, keep your stick on the ice

If you know others that fit into this category, i'd be interested in seeing what they have to share. Feel free to reply to this with their dev page or icon

After sleeping in a good part of the day, i took a trip down town. I ran around paying some bills and doing other various errands, then took a trip to the other side of town to an electronics shop i noticed the night before was knocking a fair chunk of change off the price of the Canon rebel 450D. I met a cute and friendly sales lady who really helped me out. I was determined to get the camera, but was quite inflexible financially when it came down to accessories. She took the time to show me various options, and try to make everything i really needed affordable without pushing anything i didn't need on me. Budget was still pretty tight, but she was amazing! I left very satisfied and will most likely return whenever i need any other electronics.
Thank you Devan!

To all 2 of my viewers, stay tuned. I hope to raise the bar a touch to what i display in my gallery. Please leave comments telling me what you think

I can show some of the sights i got to see and i'll try and take you there through my eyes. I can only hope you get a slice of my experience. I took a lot of shots yet i always felt during the whole trip there was so much i was still missing with the camera. Stay tuned and enjoy!
oh .. and if you live in California, i hope you dont take what i'll be showing for granted. Take the time to look around once in a while

I've also been taking as many shots as i can along the way. I'm pretty excited about quite a few of them and cant wait to load them at home and really see how they look. Stay tuned ..
GO CANUCKS GO !

All my deviations will now have my initials. I've never done that before just because i never really cared. I still don't, but just for the hell of it, i decided to make the change.
til next time, keep your stick on the ice and i hope you enjoy what's to come as i know i will

2 words, WHOOO HOOO !

So i've been busy setting the machine up, transferring, downloading, installing .. and some good ol' fashioned gaming

But i have a show to go to tonight and plan on bringing the camera, so i may work a few shots in here soon. stay tuned..

]]> ~jamdoughnut http://jamdoughnut.deviantart.com/journal/13176511/ http://jamdoughnut.deviantart.com/journal/13176511/ Fri, 01 Jun 2007 12:36:08 PDT First on my journal agenda, Since i got my new monitor and a recent software addition to help me with my pics (All of my shots previously were unaltered, posted as shot) I've been going through all of my photos i felt weren't worthy and fiddling around with them, to see what i could get. This should open up a bit more material and you can expect some new deviations soon. I've included my past deviations in my fiddling as well so some of them look a little better ([link] and [link] for example)
Also, Props to my brother! His photography is really taking off. He has yet to hear about this new photography job, but Him and a friend started up a new website for business purposes [link] , he's finding a few models to shoot, and he's being featured in DevArt for one of his deviations ! [link] (first one is his) GO BOI !
Last thing i have on my plate that i'm eager to share, Yesterday i became an uncle to Noah Johnathan Price Buhler. Also my Grandmother's Birthday ! , should be less likely to forget heh. It will be a while before i can see the 8lb+ healthy boy, but i cant wait !
Anyway, i think that's all i got for now, Pretty big entry lol,
until next time, ciao 4 now !

He's soon getting a new camera upgrade and has made the claim to seriously pursue a career with it. Props to the lad !
If you check out his work, i ask you to comment, critique, applause, and even flame where you think is appropriate. And being the loving sibling that i am i emphasize the word flame haha, let him have it. Give him a hard time with anything at all you feel mediocre at best in his shots and hopefully he will make the necessary improvements to make my little guit box famous, since it's very doubtful i ever will lol.
but to help that cause along some, you can view it here ..

I had a scare myself for i thought my intarwebz connection was fried ! oh noes!
Turns out switching to the new guy's router wasn't as much of an improvement as we'd hoped. So now mine's hooked back up and all 3 of us are connected ... cyberwebically
Yay ! Life continues to be all well and dandy in the realm of Chad.

It's true. It was a glorious night filled of excitement from busting darts to hearing how numb his face was to hearing how much the Denny's waitress wanted him. This was of course the first time he had experienced such alcoholic consumption he claims, so i was blessed tenfold ! I was as proud as a big brother could be. So my toque is off to you sir. Welcome to the world of drunken debauchery !

I used to be a fan way back in the day when they released The Devil you Know. For the longest time i had no idea they were Canadian, and that knowledge renewed my enthusiasm for them .. This dropped off slightly again, and then BAM ! I have tickets to see them live here in town ! !

ZOMG! .. i mean, sure there are definitely bigger bands out there, others i would rather see, but they dont play here in little Prince George BC. BOOYA ! So that's what i did last night. Got to rock out with Econoline Crush in this nice personal little club where after the show everyone could hang with them. Sorry, no pics of this event as it was purely for my enjoyment. What a great crew, and Trevor Hurste really let it show how much he enjoys what he does.

I recommend seeing them if you have the chance

Lately I've been visiting the casino regularly and my victory spoils have been gathering a little. Last night in particular i made a bit of a score and decided replacing my monitor has been a task looooong overdue as i've had my eyes on the latest Samsung line of screens for a while and my Samtron just wasn't cutting it anymore. This morning i ventured out to have a better look at what was available and the price ranges. There it was, just sitting there with all the others, yet still all alone. I tucked in my drooling lip as the salesman came along. We talked about the beauty for a while until he pointed out another group of monitors over to the side. Ohhhhh migod! My heart stopped and my pocket burned anticipating the new love. Bigger .. Better .. Sleeker .. I lost all emotional connection with the previous work of art and took home the Samsung SyncMaster 226BX .. 22" of widescreen Magnificence ! ! ..til death do us part ..

The first 2 bands did a great job, but Unexpect was an experience i'll never forget. They had 2 guitarists who contributed to the vocals, drummer, keyboardist, bass player with his custom made 9 string (ok starting to stand out now), violin ... 0.o ... (at a metal show !?) and a voice of an angel from their front lady. They were amazing! ..i cant really say more, as words in my vocabulary couldn't do that experience justice ..
I did, however, snap a lot of shots of the show, and a few of them are up for your enjoyment.

While you're in there, feel free to glance at his gallery too, as he does have some pretty good stuff in there, but that's besides the point. It's my brother's Birthday and it would be sweet to see a bunch of birthday cheers on his site from my doing doooo eeeeet!! 11 1 !!

Had a recent visit from my dad and his wife who took my brother and i out to Boston Pizza for grits and the Canuck game. They also loaded our freezer with food, YAY ! for not having to shop for a few weeks ! lol Family PWNZ

So, yes .. Work is good, Car is good, Family is good, Weather is good, my photography is sub-par .. but really, Life is indeed good

Enjoyed a fun evening with before mentioned 'friday night' girl but it turns out i was being used for some rebound drunk flirty fun. .. *sniff i feel violated..

The weather continues to jump around but there's been some beautiful days. Still have yet to venture out with the camera besides the concerts i've had the opportunity to take shots at. If you like rock/metal music and have the opportunity, i highly recommend seeing the Black Halos. The show was amazing!
Since i'm up early tomorrow and have no choice to venture out i'll have to take advantage with the camera and see if i catch some displayable shots
ciao 4 now

I met a girl on friday night, and danced myself silly with her and a few others. There was definitely an attraction betwixt the pair of us, so last night i finally called her up for a date. YAY!
This morning i woke up roughly an hour late and had to race to work to not be late lol .. close call, and it seemed i was racing the whole day at work too.
Great sunny day, soon the snow will be gone to be rid of this ugly 'not winter/not spring' part of the year, and i'll be a bit more motivated to venture out with the camera.. stay tuned for some new additions to the gallery

Family Time ! Unfortunately i was fighting a cold all weekend so i didn't get to fully enjoy myself, but had some good visit time with everyone, dinners out, hockey games.
Mom and Dean went out on the town and informed me of a girl that my mother met and was was crazy about (drank themselves silly and played pool) that was expecting me to meet at her work place. Nicole. Yeah. I apparently need my mother to come to town to find girls at the bar to hook me up with. i feel shame. And what the hell would make a girl want to meet a guy for some sort of blind date after partying with his mother? lol, so do i show up and introduce myself? 'Hi ! I'm crazy lady's Son !'
So my sister is all moved in now, and there's not been a dul moment since lol. Carly and Adam get along so well, and all of us banter, pester, and laugh at each other non stop. I couldn't ask for better room mates.
Casino time has also been kind to me lately. In fact everything's been fantastic ! I just need to break away for some time to myself and camera. Additions to my gallery are few and far between
but ciao 4 now,

Took them to the club my buddy's band ceremony [link] plays every wednesday
Dancing, a few drinks, Fun company, good live music, .. Hella good time! and the most fun i've had on valentines for over a decade

3 hours of sleep and a 9 hour shift at work later and still smiling

Happy belated Valentines Day !

Other than that, life trudges along fine i guess. Work's great! Life's Great! I've been keeping quite busy to fend off the valentines day lonely sorrows lol.
My sister will be moving in with me and my step brother soon. FULL HOUSE !

Somehow i peeled myself out of bed at 10 after quite a late, and i might say strange, night out on the town. My step brother/room mate and I went to church. It was my first time in a church besides for a wedding or funeral in almost a decade. I'll probably make it a habit once again now that i actually have a work schedule that allows it.
After church i decided to catch up on some of that previously missed shut-eye and may have over done it. Here i am just as tired and feeling lazy as ever. I kinda want to go out for some exercise and shoot a puck around, but i may pass and just cook myself a meal before the Barenaked Ladies show tonight That's the part of my day i'm really looking forward to
