Snow!

2011-01-05T20:01:00.002-05:00

So today it started snowing pretty hard while I was at work. This sucked cause I did not have my camera on me at the time (note to self: need to start taking it with me everywhere). I didn't get off work until six but I was still able to venture out and get some shots around my neighborhood.

My NYE consisted of seeing Jill Andrews twice, and then going to see Those Darlins rock my face off. Overall, prettay...prettay...prettay...pretty good.

Best weekend of my life

2010-11-09T20:33:00.002-05:00

So a couple weeks ago I surprised my family with tickets to the Packer vs Cowboy game. This past weekend we made the trek up to Wisconsin. Four of us (and a dog) stuffed into a Rav-4, spending 13 hours on the road traveling. We left Friday morning at 2:45 AM and arrived in Appleton around 2:15. We went to visit my grandmother and then we went out too one of my favorite restaurants (mainly because of their awesome perch dinners). I consumed about 12 individual perch. It was delicious.

After the VFW we went to a bar in Appleton called Cleo's. Its famous for it's year long Christmas decorations and stiff drinks. This was my first time going there.

Saturday we visited with family and did a little shopping. I bought a packers sweatshirt, a Clay Matthews t-shirt, and of course a Cheesehead for the game on Sunday. We also went to Simon's Cheese Factory to pick up some goodies to take back home with us. We also ate lunch at the best fast food establishment in the country, Tom's Drive-In. We also went and drove by our old house. The guy has ruined it with gargoyles on the front porch.

Sunday, we packed up all our things and headed up to New London to stay with my aunt and uncle, and then headed out to Lambeau Field.

We got there fairly early and went to the Tundra Tailgate party and took in the sites that are in the brand new Lambeau Field Atrium.

We then decided to head inside and find our seats. There is nothing to describe Lambeau, so I will just say that I absolutely love it.

What an absolute blast we had, and what a game by the Pack. So much fun and easily the best weekend of my life spent with my great family. I can't wait to go back.

Hello readers,

Just wanted to let those that check out this site know that there will be an indefinite hiatus from me posting new stuff for a while (not like there has been a lot recently, sorry...I've been busy). I am moving and will not have internet access for a while. Take care and please check back, I will update again when I can. Thanks.

Third Man Records

2010-05-22T09:22:00.003-04:00

So last Saturday I drove 5 hours round trip to Nashville to buy the new Dead Weather album Sea of Cowards. Third Man was releasing 300 limited edition pressings of the vinyl on colored vinyl. My trip began at 7:30 and I arrived at 9 cst. I then waited in line till about 1pm to get into the store. I have to say the store was def. in an interesting part of Nashville. One block had a methadone clinic, the next had a homeless shelter. This was in the parking lot next door.

After the long wait, I was finally able to grab a copy of the album and made my return trip back to Knoxville. Some would call me insane for doing all this just for a record, and I would have a hard time arguing that.

Project update

2010-05-08T18:56:00.002-04:00

So I think the project that I was working on is going to take a step to the back burner for a while. I'm just not feeling it right now, and I just don't think it's the right time. I'll try and get some new pictures up soon.

I can't believe it's May already. However, with that comes a lot of changes. I start a new job on Monday at Whirlpool which is exciting. Also, I got a new car yesterday. And in June I move into my own apartment. Besides that, three of my favorite bands are coming out with new releases this month:

The National

Broken Social Scene

The Dead Weather

Other than that I hope to get a good start on the project that I am working on and hopefully save some money. Oh yeah, there is also one bad thing about May. One of my best friends leaves on the 12th. I'll miss you:

PS. These are just just random pictures from February and the song is "These Days" being performed by St. Vincent. I just put it together real quick to see if I can get this to work correctly.

New Project

2010-04-20T15:08:00.003-04:00

Over the next few months I'm going to be working on and hopefully finishing a new project that I've started.I've been trying to think of ideas for the past few weeks, and I finally have found one that I want to try and work on. I don't want to share too many details as of yet, but I promise the finished product (and maybe even sample shots) will be posted here (hopefully in a slideshow format, if I can figure out how to post it). If I know you and I ask to take a couple pictures of you, don't be alarmed, it's for the project and you would be helping me out greatly. Also, thank you to those of you who check out the blog on a somewhat regular basis, hopefully I have posted something you liked. Take care.

Weekend

2010-04-18T13:57:00.008-04:00

This weekend my parents went out of town. For most 25 year old's, this makes no difference whatsoever in their lives. But for those still living at home and on the verge of unemployment, it's like a vacation in and of itself when the parental unit leaves for a few days. One bad side of this particular weekend is that my parents just had a bunch of landscaping put in and I was given the responsibility of watering all these damn plants. Here is what I'm talking about (this doesn't include the front yard):

Before:

After:

Another advantage of the parents leaving is I can have friends over to my house for once. Although, this hardly seems to matter. On another note, Saturday was Record Store Day and aside from all the limited pressings and special vinyl they release on that day, I picked up Some Girls by the Stones for a buck. This is the result when you mix boredom/loneliness/parents out of town and rock n' roll (Prepare yourself for possibly the most embarrassing video of me you will ever witness...):

This may not be up long...

I was asked by my church if I could take pictures during the Easter Service a few Sunday's ago, because they want to use them for the new website they are creating. I have to say I'm not 100% pleased with what I came away with, but I think they will at least have something to use for the new site.
