Good Bears always use Trojans

This past weekend was a rough ride.  I went out for a friend's birthday party and found myself hungover all Sunday, which is something I haven't been accustomed to for quite some time.  The funny thing is you tell yourself you won't do it again, and the next thing I know I'm feeling completely under the weather.

On top of that, my alma mater, U.C. Berkeley, has been a complete disappointment themselves.  Touted as one of the biggest college football match-ups before the season started, the California Golden Bears/U$C football game found two top ranked teams desperately duking it out to simply qualify for a decent Bowl Game.  After Cal lost 17-24 to the Trojans, it looks like the Bears are on their way back to the toilet bowl.  At the very least, I'll always remember the funny T-shirts that depicted two bears mating with the headline, "Good Bears always use Trojans."  For all of you not familiar with condom brands from the U.S., Trojan is a popular choice for male contraception (a.k.a.-rubbers).

Now with that all off my chest and wherever else, it's time to have some fun.  In this crazy digital age and the popularity of the internet, it's absolutely essential to get a digital camera so you can upload your work for all to see.  Make sure you take the time to really experiment and understand your equipment cuz it can usually do a lot more than you think.  For example, my Samsung digital camera can transform the manliest of men into a fetching fairy princess:

I took this snapshot of my college buddy Derek Hawkins in Bangkok, Thailand, with a gold-plated Buddha in the background.

Here's my sound man Martin Geissman during our drive to the next location for The Amazing Race Asia. 

And last but not least, I sometimes just lose it when I am jetlagged!
