Flickr?

For all those like me who want to get into photography, but are scared of being technologically inept, maybe we can all learn from my buddies.

My buddy Bill has been taking pictures for a little while, and is very good. Being of an artistic mindset, he really has a keen eye for good pictures. His advice to me about getting into photography is simple: find some free time, get a relatively nice camera ($500-$700), don't eat Mexican food before you go out taking pictures, and just go have fun! Practice makes perfect sometimes, but even an newbie to the scene can snap a good photo every now and then. Bill snaps good photos on a more frequent basis. His pictures are very good, and only getting better. If you want to look at good amateur photography, that rivals some professional photo's I've seen, I suggest you check out his website: (there's even a couple pictures of me playing sax)

You won't be sorry.


Also, my band-mate Brian has started to dabble in photography. You can check his pictures out at:

There are some cool shots of trees and things.


Enjoy!

My cold

David Hasselhoff fact of the day:
David Hasselhoff shaves a different sheep every morning to get his fresh curly dew.

Musician joke of the day:
Q: What do drummers use as birth control?
A: Their personalities.

And now back to our regularly scheduled program: "The Hoff: Why Pam Anderson really has Hep C."


OK. So now I can complain, bitch, wine, and generally moan about my freakin cold. I woke up on Monday with a tickle in my throat. From there, this cold has progressed into a bit more of a nuisance. Today, as my throat feels like it's a fire from the depths of hell, the left side of my face seems to have started to stockpile all the flem in my body. Kinda like squirrels stock up for a cold, nut-less winter. I was okay with this for a bit, but then I went to eat lunch. The stuck flem decided to shift itself to the other side of my face. I mean, how does this happen? For a minute, I could breathe freely from both nostrils, then I actually felt the other side of my face getting stuffed. The whole process took about 5 minutes. So here I sit, with a beautiful dish of old-bay coated chicken and a bowl of peas. I'm really excited about eating this. Not only is it a more healthy approach to my normally fast-food-laden lunch, but it's OLD BAY!! Here's the rub (pardon the pun.) I CAN'T TASTE IT!!! I'm so freakin pissed right now! All the anticipation, and I get nothing out of this. This, sir, is bullshit. So my solution? I'm going to make something really healthy for dinner that I normally don;t like the taste of, and I'm going to eat it all. There. So fuck you Mr. Cold! I win!

It's 12:48pm Pacific Time and the Space Shuttle Orbiter just landed safely. Amazing. Space travel. Maybe we could spend some of NASA's money on research to cure the common cold. Bitches. Isn't it funny that we can go explore outer space, but we can't get to the bottom of our own planet's oceans? Whatever. Who cares. I just finished my peas. I'm not sure if they were good or not. I couldn't taste them.


Peace out, bitches...... 1 hour of work, a drive home in rush hour traffic, and some cold medicine, here I come.

Getting Older?

Sorry it's been a while since my last post. I just realized that I can do this from work, so I'll probably be posting more.


Chuck Norris fact of the day:
Chuck Norris does not love Raymond


And now back to our regularly scheduled program: "Crispy, the dope-smoking clown"


Games to play when you're older:
1. Sag, you're it
2. Hide and go pee
3. 20 questions in your good ear
4. Kick the bucket
5. Red Rover, Red Rover, the nurse said bend over
6. Musical recliners

You know you're old when...
1. You don't care where your spouse goes, just as long as you don't have to go along.
2. Getting a little action means you don't need any fiber that day.
3. Getting lucky means you find your car in the parking lot.
4. An all-nighter means not getting up to pee.
and for the women...
5. Going bra-less pulls all the wrinkles out of your face.


Randomness:
- If raising children was easy, it wouldn't begin with 'Labor'.
- Eating natural foods just means you will die of natural causes.
- The easiest way to find something you've lost is to buy a replacement for it.
- Since everyone now owns a camcorder, no one talks about seeing UFO's like they used to.
- In the 60's people took acid to make the world seem weird, now people take Prozac to make it normal.
- Do illiterate people know when they're eating alphabet soup?

and finally....
- If Jimmy cracks corn, and no one cares....why in the hell is there a song about him??


Until next time...

peace out bitches......leaving work - here I come!
