I enjoy shooting things.

Today I shot a gun. I had never shot a gun before in my life. I have to say, it was quite fun. Below is the results of my first ever shot.

Note the accuracy. Moral of the story: Don’t mess with me. I’m dangerous.

Damn you Adobe and a blogging commitment

Two things for this post; first, I’m going to attempt to post something on this blog everyday for the rest of the month. Not sure exactly what I’m going to post about, but it’s going to be something, whether it’s a nice full length post or a paragraph or two. So, having got that out of the way, let me start my first of 6 straight days posting with some Adobe hate.
