...or a mediator.. that would have been good too...
My Pop was a smart cookie...and I knew that even as a kid. I knew that if I wanted him to see my way on something, I was going to have to step up my game. And I did a pretty damn good job of it, too! I could easily argue my way into a new Barbie, some matchbox cars or a couple of Archie comics from the impulse aisle of the Lucky's ...
Just when I started to think maybe I wasn't that good at it, I met my fabulous hubby. He became witness to these moments of my arguing my way out of a paperbag (some people can't do that) and was once again self aware of my power of Justification. The Ends Justify The Means... probably would be the name of a semi-auto biography about my life :)
Today I am justifying why I need a new lens for my Nikon, of which there are many. But just now I was checking out a blog I love!! The chick takes awesome pics with her iPhone...bare with me here... I don't have one of THOSE and I don't have the $$ to buy a new one cash outside of the available upgrade for my cell plan that comes up NEXT year... So I'm thinking, since we are due a good sum on our taxes, I would like to get a 55-300mm lens for my Nikon.
I didn't realize it until I read the blog as to WHY...
I open my followed blogs and the first thing I see is an adorable and obviously instagrammed pic of a cute 18 mo old girl in her messy room. Obviously Blogger Chick was standing above her child. Said child is happy and not screaming.
Immediately my mind goes here: Hey, that's a really cute picture and how come I don't have more pictures like that because i don't have an iPhone would it matter if I did have one I don't think it would because everytime I have my phone out Marysu wants to grab it and eat it and then I let her because I'm a sucker and then she gnaws it and then I have to take it and then she gets mad and then I have to dissuade her intentions away from my phone and then I don't get the cute picture I wanted so why don't I just pull out the Nikon because if you pull out the Nikon stupid ass then the baby will want that too and you won't get the good picture you wanted you will get a series of much too close up pictures because she will be on your ass like a fat kid on a cupcake and you shouldn't say stuff like that because your husband used to be a fat kid but thats okay because everyone of your boyfriends in middle school was a fat kid and hey didn't one of them give you a necklace for your birthday where the hell is that did it survive any of the moves why didn't you check and make sure that it made it okay it probably got lost with one of the tubs that had your matchbox cars in and now you have a spare room full of cars because your former fat kid husband makes an effort to put a new matchbox car in your stocking at xmas every year...
... I go from why don't I have a Nikon lens that I can zoom and take snaps from across the room to "There are way too many matchbox cars in my spare room"...
I'd like to avoid these head space convos... and I need to take snaps from across the room so I can Ninja-Photo my kids...
Therefore: I need a new lens...
CLEARLY, I chose the wrong profession...
...and speaking of photos.. think I should integrate more photos in this thing? Is it too boring without something to look at?
