A House of Cards Built Upon Matchsticks Two men run down the street after a crash is heard, along with the pain of a dog's screech. One man is sent away as the two find a hit and run with a dog, the man clearly of importance bends down to look at the dog. He begins to talk but at first it is hard to tell if its narration or the man talking. Snap, the man just snapped the neck of the dog after giving a speech about needless pain. This is how House of Cards the new Netflix original starts and already I am excited. Having just seen the first episode of the political drama starring the great Kevin Spacey I can say that Netflix has itself one wonderful career ahead of itself. House of Cards  first draws you in with a character unlike others, he is composed, smart and always thinking, The best part is he never tells you what he is doing, not in a way to keep audience suspense but rather this is a man who does not care if you know. I love this character, and already he quickl...

I am a big photographer, I love taking pictures and have actually taken courses at school on the history of it, and what not. Its something I realized I never expressed on this blog which is a shame as it is a big part of my life, and I do love to talk about it. Recently while browsing a friends photo website, I saw a great little post on what he wanted in the coming year for his gear. I loved the idea because often I have the same idea's but throughout the year it gets mixed up in my head. With the blog I plan to at least have some form of outline, that way I can look back and see what I needed, and hopefully express some of my love for photography. Lets do this! Top Photo Gear I wish for this year This is not going to be in order of what I want or need, but rather just a list of things in no order. 1. Camera Body (Canon 6D or Canon Mark III) I right now am sitting on a Canon 60D which I love, it is fast, does great for video's, and really I have yet to have any big co...

I love Netflix, I really do. The ability to have so much tv, and moves easily accesible at a pretty good price is extraordinary. Some people don't like it due to many factors but the biggest is selection but I say to these people that you just need to explore, its not about what you want, its about what you could like. However I did not come here to talk about Netflix but instead I wanted to speak about Star Trek, with a focus on The Next Generation. I have loved, been disappointed, ashamed even with Star Trek. Luckily I am at a age of my life, and in state of mind that I enjoy the show quite a bit, though not as devoted as I once was in my youth. With Netflix I have recently been watching TNG, nothing absurd just a few episodes here and there and I forgot how great of a show it is. It is not my favorite but I have to say TNG really is able to capture a ships crew. It is the most extraordinary part of the show is the characters who interact. People are aware of eac...

Hey Folks Its your Scottish Samurai again here to talk about his latest in technological changes which is all this blog is ever about now. If you do read this and seem to enjoy my very random and far in-between post please drop a comment saying "you suck post more" or more likely "you suck post less", either would be fine. And on to what I am here for. Remember a few posts back I got myself a new Macbook Pro for school and writing (not on this blog suckas!). Well that machine is out the door, sold away too hopefully a happy customer who will love that machine like I did. I have decided to change my style of post about instead of talking about a new computer, I will speak about my old after what amounts to about a year and half of using it. The first I know its a year and half does not seem long to own a machine and may even imply I did not enjoy my old computer however this is false, I did love my old laptop but life and well needs changed for something differ...
