10 things randomly from my life right now:

1. I’m am totally over worked right now.  With working on the end game of an important product at Microsoft and with a few side projects also going on, I am regularly doing 11-12 hour days.
2. I’m excited to go home to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving this coming weekend, coupled with a recruiting trip for my college and my grandma’s birthday.  I was back home about 5 weeks ago to celebrate my sister’s birthday, but it feels far longer than that.
3. My photography is suffering right now.  Since it’s not my main source of income, it’s the first thing to go when I’ve had to make tradeoffs.  See #1.
4. On the flip side, I’ve had 3 killer ideas for themes for next photoshoots come to me in the past month.  If I can find the time to do them, they will be really fun to shoot, and produce some wild photos.  But until I can find time, they are just wishful thinking.
5. Some people very close to me are having a tough time with a personal matters, and it pains me to see them going through such a hard time
6. I’m 99.99% sure I’m changing from Canon to Nikon.  After shooting for years with Canon, it’s going to be a huge adjustment process, but the price-to-performance ratio is vastly in favor of Nikon and the new Canon 5D Mark II didn’t introduce enough new features to make it compelling enough.
7. My shoulder is feeling much better, but I still have lingering pain after straining my rotator cuff 4 weeks ago during a game of golf.
8. My ugly dolls are very photogenic.
9. I restarted the Hundred Pushup Challenge after being forced to abandon it (see #7).  I’m starting Week 3, Day 1 today.
10. For the first time in a long, long time, I can honestly say I’m incredibly happy with everything in my personal life.  I don’t think anything is ever “perfect” in life, but this is closer than I ever dreamed it would be.

What are your 10 things?
