it’s starting to get huge…

By Devin | 1 comment

for quite awhile now, a bunch of fellow gear heads have been meeting up on the last saturday of every month here in orlando (lake mary to be precise). it started out as more of a “get together” than an actual car show, just guys hanging out and talkin cars. but it has quickly grown into a very large event, with 100-150 cars attending. to accommodate the growth, this past weekends event was in a new location, the route46 entertainment complex. here are just a couple quick shots I took while walking around…

everyone needs to relax…

By Devin | 1 comment

…i happen to be an expert at relaxing.

ask anyone that knows me, I am almost always relaxed.
however thanks to a couple bulging disks, sometimes it is not as easy to relax physically as it is mentally.

my solution?
every 2-3 weeks i schedule a 1hr therapeutic massage!
last month I missed my appointment, so this past weekend i stopped by for a 2hr visit.
i don’t think i need to elaborate on how wonderful that was!

if you have some physical or mental stress going on (and who doesn’t?!?), i highly recommend that you find a reputable licensed massage therapist in your area and treat yourself to some relaxation!

falling in love…

By Devin

usually it takes awhile for me to fall in love with newer ferraris (my fave’s are the F40, 575, and 355). i never really liked the 360. after awhile the 430 grew on me and i really started to like it, especially after seeing a few in person. when the enzo came out, i didn’t really like it at all until i got to see/hear one in person.

the new Italia 458 on the other hand….well i was pretty much sold right from the sneak peak pictures. i cannot really define what it is, because the car does borrow from other recent ferraris, but something about the way this whole package came together really makes me smile. my only small gripe would be the way the headlight assembly comes WAY up the front of the car, but that is a very small complaint about an otherwise amazing looking (and sounding) vehicle.

definitely looking forward to seeing a few in person, as i am sure there will be one soon at our local orlando get together.

what do you think of it? (click the thumbnails for a larger view)

Music and Life

By Devin

I really enjoyed this video. It uses music as an analogy for life to illustrate the concept that life is not just about reaching some end result, but a journey to be enjoyed.

Regardless of what is happening in my life on any given day, no matter what I get caught up in, I truly appreciate life and love living it.
I hope that you feel this appreciation too.
