Like A Rock
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 [...]
Blessed Life
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 [...]
Gimmie Gimmie
So I found out yesterday that I owe my former employer some money. Five hundred and eighty-three dollars. And ten cents, to be exact. I was given 14 days to repay it — and the letter was mailed a week ago, so I only have 7 days now — or it will be turned over [...]
Should Have Skied
My brother showed up here at home during his school day yesterday, and our conversation went a bit like this: Me: Hey, what are you doing home so early? Him: The snow on the roads is so bad! I left school to go get lunch, and I almost got into so many wrecks. Cars were [...]
Wacky Christmas
So this Christmas my Uncle had somehow got the mistaken impression that everyone was simply giving out money and gift cards. I think it might have had something to do with my brother asking just for money. Whatever the case, his thought was wrong, we were indeed giving out gifts this year. I think he [...]
Yearbook
Me and my brother packed up my camera and tripod, and a backpack full of different outfits and took a walk into the woods up near Campbell Airstrip to try and take a couple decent shots for his yearbook photo. After hearing about one of his classmates paying 1,400$ for her senior pictures (no, that [...]
RIP Grandpa
Wednesday night my Grandfather died. I didn’t know him well, we had only met 3 times my entire life, but his passing still hits hard in the fact that he was my last living grand parent. The circumstances of his passing, and the decision and/or timing of the decision to take him off life support [...]
Go Speed Racer, Go!
Well it has happened. Cop: “Do you know why I pulled you over?” My Brother: “No…” Cop: “Do you know how fast you were going?” My Brother: “Uhh, about 65?” Cop: “Well, yeah, that is exactly right. The problem is this road is posted at 55.” So yup, my little brother has his first speeding [...]
The Times, They Are a-Changin’
Boy, school sure has changed since the ancient days when I attended. I remember my high school days in Arizona, and going to classes with such awe-inspiring names as “English 1” and “English 2“, or the classic “Physical Education“. It seemed every year we went to the same exact boring classes, with just progressively harder [...]
Frosty The Snow-Skater
My little brother showing his stuff this past winter, snowskating in the empty parking lot of a former church. The place is now a “Baptist University” and they do not like skaters. We had to sneak there at night to get these shots.
