Nikon Camera Is Awesome

Last week I got a new video/picture camera. It actually looks so nice but has so many amazing features, it's called Nikon D5100. It's quite easy to use in 1 way but quite complicated in the way that it will take a lot of time to master the special features etc. I had been thinking of getting a new camera for months as I only had my cam on my laptop which was pretty bad quality along with a little cheap handheld one I had which was even worse, anyway I done my best with what I had at the time but now I'm glad I have the new camera. I can always use the older two for just mucking about.

My Life So Far 2012

Been quite a good start to year although been a few little moments along the way. Overall though I'm very happy with life and feel I'm becoming an even more better person as I get older.

ICE SKATING
I have been watching the programme on Itv 'Dancing On Ice' and really loved it. This is my first series where I have watched the whole way through so far and I plan on watching all of it. Anyway I'm one of those guys when I see something I like I want to try it out. I have been to ice skating the odd time but it's hard to get time as it's one of those activities where you can't just do it whenever you want. I am going to go a few times for for fun just to get a little taster again since it's been a few years since I was last on the ice and then I will actually start training hopefully 3 times per week. It's a big task for me to do seeing as I already have a busy life and not a lot of free time, I like it that way though, whenever I do get free time I always enjoy it lots because of that. In all honesty I will struggle for a while. I think it will take me 6 months before I can even skate at a good speed while keeping control but it's something outside the box for me and I have always enjoyed going to ice skating. I may even surprise myself and pick it up really quickly. Highly doubt it though.

TRIPS
I am a travel lover. I must take after my Mum in that way seeing as she always wants to go away somewhere. I don't have any full year schedule yet but I am maybe going to be taking great trips to these places:
London - I love London and was already there this year, great place, lots of stuff to do
Newcastle - The people are awesome and I'm usually down there every Spring
Toronto - Been ten years but that would be so awesome, hopefully I'll get the chance

As I said they are just maybe at the moment but would be good to get away a bit more this year.

VIDEO GAMES
I have spoke about my love for video games in my previous blogs and that love hasn't ended. It just sucks a bit that I don't get the opportunity to play as much as I use to. As a result of not playing my skills and motivation as been a let down. I am a fighter though and I am going to come back strong on my xbox. I want to really get better at football games, I'm a good player but I need to adapt to the newest versions of the game something a little bit tricky just now. While we are on the topic of football games I am having a sort of crisis between Pes 2012 and Fifa 12. I got Pes for Christmas but haven't liked it that much, they made it so difficult and too real. I like it to be a good game but I still want it to be a video game at the end of the day, there is a time for proper realy football and that's down the local park and football team. I managed to try Fifa and I did enjoy it, online is huge for me and Pes it's just shocking for that so I may have to buy Fifa. Not fully decided yet but let's hope I make a good decision.

MUSIC
Been really working hard with my music, especially my singing. I only started properly doing in two years ago and my voice wasn't that good but I have really improved and although I still ain't a good singer I'm well above average. I have a better range with my voice now and hearing myself back I still need more emotion in my singing and have to learn to breath a bit better so it comes out clearer. This is all part of the learning process. My guitar is coming along decent, quite a tough thing to get the hang of but I can play a handful of songs now. My have been playing piano a couple of months and managed to pick that up really well, I have to admit that is my favourite instrument, just the sound off it is amazing. I just need to practice as much as I can at it and hopefully I'll get better each year.

Austin Mahone Concert
I just wanted to let you know about the Austin Mahone Concert. First of all Austin Mahone is a guy from America who started up his Youtube channel about a year ago a rose to fame very quickly. He hasn't been signed yet(As far as I know) but has probably the biggest fan base for an unsigned artist. I respect him, he's got his own style and is also a Belieber which I think is really cool. Quite a lot of guys would probably be a fan of Justin but don't as they just go with the flow but me, him and a good few more ain't like that. Don't get me wrong a lot of guys just don't Justin due to music and stuff which is fair enough but I have no doubt other guys deep down do but don't admit it. Anyway I reckon Austin will go far and like Justin he has a big girl fan base. So listen up girls, his concert is on 14th February 2012, I believe his concert is sold out but their is an online streaming where you pay a few quid to watch, his Twitter page will have more details:
