Meet Syd



As I said, it didn't work out with me and Fiona. I need a camera with anti-shake - you know why. So, above is my new camera - Syd (after Sydney Wayser).

----------

Roomie:

Her: That's cheating.
Me: I don't say I'm gay, they just ask and I politely decline to answer. Besides, how's it cheating?
Her: It's dishonest! You're not gay and you should tell them right away.
Me: (rolling eyes) Please. Men don't wear three-inch heels, makeup, or anything that starts with the words "push up." What you see is what you get. I assure you, there's been more than one time when I don't even recognize the girl the next time around.
Her: (ignoring comment) So how to they find out you're not?
Me: (laughing) That's a whole different conversation.

Friend:

Me: I have no idea why I keep meeting chicks that are so young.
Her: I think it's how you dress.
Me: (puzzled) How I dress? How should I dress?
Her: Have you ever thought about shopping at the Gap?
Me: (pause) No.

Music: no sympathy come around and I'm in between the layers

It's a Pentax 100D Super - the Super is the important part because that means it has the anti-shake built into the body. Also, Pentax is weird in that the higher numbers are the dumbed down model - the 110D doesn't have the dust-removal nor the anti-shake.

The 100D Super is basically the most inexpensive DLSR with BOTH shake-reduction and a dust-removal system. I got it with the kit lens for about $500 (to be more honest, my family got it for me for Xmas, knowing that I was hurting for a new camera). It's gotten glowing reviews - the Pentax's are not as popular as the Canons but, having used both, I like the Pentax better because it's more suitable for a guy like me who's (a) out mostly at night and (b) shakes like a crack addict when I don't get enough sleep.

Amazingly, it can take any Pentax lens ever made. Crazy.

Syd rocks so hard...

You decline to answer? That's totally cheating, it's downright dishonest! It's one thing to turn up the flames if you think that'll score you some points, but an upright question deserves an upright answer.

Besides, how could it possibly be to your advantage for a girl (or guy) to assume that you are? This whole bit seems as silly as hiding one's real age, and you don't seem to equivocate about that.

I always say, "you'll have to figure it out."

Interestingly (and I don't get it myself), the ones that think I am are the ones that tend to like me the most. Weird.

I don't understand why they would think that in the first place. I don't get that vibe from your vids or pics.

Maybe it's because they think you're a pretty boy or maybe it's because you dress well?

after two plus years, I have yet to name my camera. I did name my guitar Pedro, but that was a long time ago.

Good to hear that you picked Pentax. A friend of mine has one and it has the best photo quality.

I love it - I wish I had more time to work with it and more money to get more lenses. It's so cool.

Come up with a name!

I'm all jealous of your camera. I have yet to get myeself a good one...
Man, if you keep attracting the younger ones, that's a rather good thing. Age doesn't matter anyway. Unless it bothers you, that is...

I'm not sure - I'm in a weird place where I'd actually like to settle down and meet the right one. It's a hard thing to do in NYC, actually.

Yes, get yourself a nice camera - especially since you're a mom now. You need to make memories.

Pentax! My analog point and shoot was and the SLR still is a Pentax. They never failed (unless I forced it...).

I don't get it... shopping at the Gap would help you meet girls your age? I would think it would be the opposite.

I have no idea. I think she was saying that I should dress more mature but I don't think that's me.

i think shopping at the gap would make you look younger, if anything. besides...what's wrong with meeting younger chicks? lol.

but i can see you point, sorta...as i've enjoyed the company of older women as opposed to the younger ones.

besides...you look like you're close to my age...but then again...it doesn't say much as people say that i look like in my mid thirties (which doesn't really change things for you, lol).

How young is too young for you? And, what are the characteristics of your ideal girl?

That's quite a question! I've been thinking of it for a while.

Maybe I'll post the answer in an entry...
