Summer Bummer

Posted by Exer on Thursday, July 1st, 2010

We’ve been having rain, rain and more rain the past couple weeks. Looks like it may be a typical wet Alaskan summer. Not that I should be all that bothered by it, since I’m not actually working outdoors at the moment. What do I really have to complain about, mowing the grass too often? I [...]

Distant

Posted by Exer on Tuesday, June 15th, 2010

Alaska isn’t always a winter wonderland, covered in feet of snow. We are a green, green state, for a few amazing months of summer.

Puppy Tales

Posted by Exer on Thursday, June 10th, 2010

OK, well he isn’t exactly a puppy anymore, but that doesn’t stop me from calling him “pup” every now and again. Whenever my mom stops by to visit she calls him “grandpa”, but that’s just because she is evil and likes to pick on helpless animals. Yup. Anyway, here is my PUP out enjoying the [...]

Don’t Bug Me

Posted by Exer on Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

This little lady decided to land on my brothers hand while we worked on his car in the driveway. She wasn’t in any hurry to fly away, so we grabbed a camera and decided to try out the macro lens.

If You Musk

Posted by Exer on Sunday, April 18th, 2010

Every day is a lazy day for a muskox at the Alaska Zoo. It must be a lonely life. I went with my cousin, who kept saying things like “They want to be free!” every time we would reach a new exhibit. It annoyed me at the time, but looking back on the photos I [...]

Like A Rock

Saturday, July 3rd, 2010 - Blog

I was talking to my little brother earlier. He was telling me of a few things he’d still like to do and / or experience before heading off to college. One of the adventures on his list was going charter fishing on a deep sea boat. I told him he should get his friends together [...]

Road Etiquette -vs- Law

Wednesday, June 30th, 2010 - Blog

So there I was, driving to the store earlier this week, when I noticed some debris in the road. Turned out it was a plastic shelf, a ladder, and some trash bags. The stuff must have fallen off the back of some truck. I hit my 4-way lights, and slowly came to a stop, since [...]

Care For A Sip Of Meat?

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010 - Alaska, Blog

I’m not a drinker. I can probably tell you the details of each time I’ve drank in my life — and it’s less than 10 fingers worth of times — so I’m not exactly an expert in fine liquor. Yet even with my limited knowledge, I still have my standards, and I just don’t think I [...]

The Midnight Sun

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010 - Blog

We just had our summer solstice a few days ago, the longest daylight hours of the year. That is one of the things some of us come to appreciate about the Alaskan summers, it seems you can walk outside at just about any hour and still have daylight. How many people can claim they’ve seen [...]

The Other White… Apple

Wednesday, June 23rd, 2010 - Blog, Technology

I have a confession: I think I want a white iPhone. Yeah, I said that. If you know me, you would be really surprised right now, because I usually really, really dislike white “gadgets”. Something about this one though, just looks… slick. Snazzy. I’m not sure exactly what it is. Maybe I’ll see one in [...]

Poor, Poor Girl

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010 - Blog, Entertainment

You see a photo like this, and obviously this girl is devastated. Something horrible must have just happened, like a close friend being shot during a bank robbery. Or maybe her house just got blown away by a tornado. I mean, just look at her! Something has broken this poor girl!… Oh, wait… what? You mean [...]

How Do We Know

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010 - Blog

I sat in my jeep one afternoon, at a store parking lot. I had an hour or so to kill while I waited for a pair of glasses at Lens Crafter. As I sat there I couldn’t help but watch this woman standing at a street corner with a cardboard sign. She was probably in [...]

The BoobTube

Sunday, June 20th, 2010 - Blog, Entertainment, TV

Just finished watching a game show on NBC called Minute To Win It. Basically you do small challenges based on simple objects, that get progressively harder and you can win up to a million bucks. First time I’ve seen it, and I can’t say I like it all that much. I think the most entertaining [...]

Concert In The Park

Sunday, June 20th, 2010 - Blog, Music

I just got back from seeing one of my favorite bands — Flyleaf — live, in downtown Anchorage for our “Summer Solstice” Festival. Funny how great music and an energetic atmosphere can make you forget that you’ve had rain pouring on you for the last 2 hours. I have to give major props to the [...]

Blessed Life

Monday, May 31st, 2010 - Blog

You know, I don’t have a perfect life. Things haven’t worked out quite the way I had planned in my mind. I find myself in a situation that isn’t quite ideal, and things aren’t at their brightest. Yet for all of that, I can’t help but believe that I’ve had a pretty blessed life. Having [...]
