My morning had started off with a very greeting from my older brother Reniel who had came back from the Army. Reniel had came into my room and greeted me and asked how I was doing. It was nice to see him again since he was away. Since I play Xbox, he decided to play Modern Warfare 3 and play survival with my younger brother. Some time in the afternoon I got ready and headed out to Rodeo for Mindy's family party. It was pretty chill but we left around 5 in the afternoon since we were going to have dinner with my family. We decided to eat at a Happy Roll since my older brother didn't really have any real Japanese food out there in Kansas. Took a few Sake shots and had some pretty good dombori. Afterwards headed home and rested for a bit since we were going to Mindy's family after party. Party was really cool and played a couple poker hands and watched her family play Pai Goi. Overall a very tiring but eventful day with the family.

Woke around 12 in the afternoon. Ever since I have used Eric's Tamron 17-35mm F/2.8-4.0., I've been on the hunt for one lately. Just my luck, I found one on Craigslist and was meeting up with the guy at work. Had work from 4 p.m. till closing. During that time, the guy came in 30 minutes before closing and as promised, I was just ecstatic and received the lens. I let Beastly Mike have fun with the lens first. After work, I wanted to go shooting, but I was tired. I stopped by Target for a bit since Mindy wanted to grab a few things and headed home. Carl was waiting for me at my place since he had dropped off his 2000 Space Jam XI's. Carl just wanted me to fix them up since the soles came off.

I'm a sucker for wide yet alone fisheye lens. Of course shooting at a wide focal length of course has distortion to it, but that's not mainly what I'm going for. What I do love about shooting at a wide focal length is the different perspective view I love from it. Ever since I used Eric's Tamron 17-35mm F/2.8-4.0. from my first wedding and being a great friend that he is, lending it for one weekend during Disneyland, I knew I had to have this lens. They were other choices from Nikon's 14-24mm or Nikon 17-35mm both with a constant F-stop, but you can't go wrong with a third brand party giving you results you desire plus more. It's truly a bang for its buck! As for my 366 entry, credit goes to Beastly Mike, he took the shot, but used my camera.

Didn't do much today. Just washed my car since I can't really remember the last time I actually washed my car. I was planning on going out afterwards, but decided to stay home and save it for another day.
