And Slow but Sure the Sands are Falling as the Bridge Burns Beneath the Wheel May 30, 2007 No Comments

Cubbies and Comedies, moo-moo-moo movies, Chicago in the summertime. Just as David Gray sings about the mystery of love, words prove useless in the face of how it feels. Today I strike one of the ‘list of things to do in life,’ which was to see a baseball game at Wrigley Field, one of America’s [...]

This bottle of stevens awakens ancient feelings, Like Father, Stepfather… May 29, 2007 No Comments

Rollin’ on 3 hours of sleep and a quad latte, Mummy, Jr and I brave downtown Minneapolis. The city has a sincere simplicity, modest and historic, I think I like it! Here’s a picture of the tall buildings. We were witness to so of the locals getting into a squabble, one chick throwing a big [...]

Their Prey Gather in Herds of Still Knee-Length Skirts and White Ankle-Socks May 28, 2007 1 Comment

Minneapolis, or Bloomington rather, welcome to the Mall of America, self-touted the largest shopping center in America, and a great place for kiddos to go to have fun. The retail centers are that which are in every shopping mall around the nation….anyone need a Journeys? how bout a Hot Topic? I just can’t seem to [...]

Come Out of Things Unsaid, Shoot an Apple off My Head May 27, 2007 No Comments

Another day in Denison bonding with the family, bow shooting with Todd of all things, yes, I tried to get my brother in law to let me shoot and apple off my head, but considering this was the second time ever shooting one of these things, he didn’t like the idea. First time I shot [...]

Mandy’s in the Backroom Handling Out Valium and Sheriff’s on the Airwaves Talking to the DJ’s May 26, 2007 No Comments

The family vacation continues, drivin’ cross country in the Chevy Van. Little Miss Sunshine you might say? The dreaded Iowa sign, its nice to hop out at these things, snap a picture or two while cars whiz by going, ‘Ha Ha Ha, Ho Ho Ho,’ cough cough ‘*#$(%) em.’ Iowa IS filled with fields of [...]

I Walk These Streets, A Loaded Six String on my Back May 25, 2007 No Comments

Being on the road is inspiring and refreshing, despite a bad day for snappin’ pictures, especially the ‘before’ picture which i forgot to take after being extremely drowsy after an all nighter. Holla from Wichita Kansas, not a lot going on in this neck of the woods, but the Day’s Inn is nice, and the [...]

We Passed the Hash Pipe, And Played our Doors Tapes May 24, 2007 1 Comment

Tomorrow myself, my brother, sister, brother in law, mummy, and nieces and nephews Grant, Meagan and Gavin are heading on a trip towards Niagara Falls. For those of you who understand the eclectic-ness of the family, any adventure of this sort is an adventure, but rest assured there will be no hash pipes or Dorrs [...]

Red Blood’s a Powerful Fuel, Sweet Love Tasted Blood – My Heart Overfloods May 21, 2007 No Comments

Sittin’ here digesting ‘Love is a Mixtape, Life and Loss One Song at a Time‘ –real content of true passion, not only in the music element, but also the human element. A tragic story of love and loss, and recollection and reflection thru mix tapes. Many of us have made mix tapes for people, for [...]

Welkommen, Welkommen, Shame About the Weather No Comments

Loads of fun to spending the evening with the AMF volunteers over bowling balls at the Dart Bowl. Pictured, the heart and soul of the non-profit I volunteer with, both pillars. Amy my friend in the middle is going on a European stint for about a month, coming back for the summer, then going to [...]

Masquerading as a Man With a Reason, My Charade is the Event of the Season May 20, 2007 No Comments

Love pullin’ up the stop lights, windows down, blarin’ some ‘good ol’ 80′s nonsense, lookin’ (un)cool, checkin’ out responses, etc. A Dallas pub crawl, of sorts, The Old Monk , The Slide In (or something like this), a jump start at Home Depot, The Elbow Room, Lucky’s to eat, The Blarney Stone, and then some [...]
