Peanut has been getting a bunch of follows on his Twitter account lately. It’s odd and I’m extremely jealous. I guess no one wants to follow a guy who tweets about work all the time and instead prefers to read Peanut’s day-to-day deep thoughts.

A side project that I’ve been working on during my free time is learning how to put together a Facebook application. Once I digress the structure, Peanut in one way or another will be my first my first test-dummy.

Phase 2 of this idea which Natalie just made me aware of will be establishing visitor interaction as well as creating syndicated content. Therefore, the next phase of Poonut.com will be a blog. I would like to start building phase 2 as soon as possible, however, I need to preserve the simplicity of the current concept. I’m not sure yet how I’ll preserve both. In the mean time, I’ll focus on some freelance work that I’ve managed to acquire from this concept.

One day, Natalie and I have to start an ongoing video pod cast for him, his facial expressions, and just overall way of responding to everything around him is ridiculously hilarious.

I picked Peanut off after work and brought him home only to see him fall sound asleep in his doggy bed. Mission accomplished. I can get back to brain-storming and sketching out some ideas for Natalie’s and I’s wedding.

Last night I registered our official wedding domain NatalieandSimon.com. Being a designer, and working with various brands at Tisha Creative, it’s only natural that Natalie and I brand our own wedding. I’m thinking of preparing our site as a blog for now and eventually integrating all of our wedding materials onto it; Wedding registry, invites, menu, driving directions etc… the basics. Why stop there though? or perhaps why not utilize the site in a more innovative manner.

We still have plenty of time since we haven’t established a date yet. Peanut’s new doggy breath takes me back to when he was a puppy. I should probably get my own teeth checked out. I wish money grew on trees.

Putting on my warm coat, hats, gloves, packing my camera and throwing its trap over my shoulders gave me such an exhilerating feeling every morning. I started off my day every morning taking these 2 Vislas over the a dog run by Chelsea Piers on the west side of Manhattan. As soon as I took off their leashes, they’d jet all over the dog run chasing one another and provided me with so many different angles in photographing them.

I’d get home after my walking schedule was completed, inspired and consumed with all sort of ideas to deploy on the particular freelance project I was in the middle of working on. I think the reward for me was in taking the images as I always put off editing and touching up the images for the future as a 2nd tier reward.

Weird. I know.

I’m not ashamed to say that the thought of giving him away has crossed my life on numerous occasions. However, nothing that I’ve ever achieved in life has come easy and giving Peanut would be mean that I’ve quit a responsibility that I’ve brought upon myself.
