im slacking...

no i didn't up and go to jerusalem, but this is an old photo i found while editing and did a little work to it...so at least i have a picture to put up now.

the calm after the storm...

theres been crazy storms here all week. tornados, hail, wind, lightening, thunder, and LOTS of rain. looks like things are finally clearing up though...

my come back (to the blog world)...

a couple hours ago i was sitting in my underwear, playing rock band and sipping of black coffee when i thought my life at this moment it pretty pathetic. there are floods, thunderstorm, and life going on outside so why am wasting it in the comforts of my own home. lame. im only given 24hours each day to live and i need to do just that. live. get out in the world, see the excitement and experience it to the best of my abilities...and as much as i love rock band...i shall hang up my drumsicks for now and pick up my camera everyday to document this short life i have. im not a writer so my blog won't have much to read. instead i will use a shutter speed and aperture setting to share my journey starting now...

since i am now running late for work and need to shower here are a few pictures from one of the most incredible places ive been, Big Sur, CA. this past weekend i traveled the california highways north to escape suburbia and enjoy nature. there is something so refreshing about this place and beauty fills it...

random quote...

Promise yourself to be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. Look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best. Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future. Give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others. Live in the faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.
-Christian D. Larson

secret oath

tonight I made a secret oath
to keep chasing after you
and I am not going to stop
whether you like it or not...

Some say I should start a blog...

So, a lot of people have told me the past couple months that I should start a blog. I never thought that I had much worth writing down for the world to see, but I finally decided that I might as well give it a shot. I don't know a damn thing about blogging so this is a trial run.

I just got back tonight to California from Mississippi. It was a nice trip, but I'm glad to be back. Vacations are always bitter sweet...it was nice seeing old friends and family while I was there, but it's good to come back home to my friends here! I'm exhausted and I tend to say things I don't need to when it's late so I'm calling it quits for tonight.

Music is always running through my head so, to end this, I will leave you with some song lyrics...

Take It Easy (Love Nothing) - Bright Eyes

First with your hands and then with your mouth
A downpour of sweat, damp cotton clouds
I was a fool, you were my friend
We made it happen
You took off your clothes, left on the light
You stood there so brave
You used to be shy
Each feature improved, each movement refined and eyes like a showroom
Now they are spreading out the blankets on the beach
That weatherman is a liar
He said it would be raining but it's clear and blue as far as I can see

Left by the lamp, right next to the bed,
on a cartoon cat pad she scratched with a pen,
"Everything is as it's always been.
This never happened.
Don't take it too bad it is nothing you did.
It's just once something dies you can't make it live.
You're a beautiful boy.
You're a sweet little kid but I am a woman."
So I laid back down and wrapped myself up in the sheet
And I must have looked like a ghost 'cause something frightened me
and since then I've been so good at vanishing

Now I do as I please and lie through my teeth
Someone might get hurt, but it won't be me
I should probably feel cheap but I just feel free...
and a little bit empty
No, it isn't so hard to get close to me
There will be no arguments
We will always agree
And I'll try and be kind when I ask you to leave
We'll both take it easy
But if you stay too long inside my memory,
I will trap you in a song tied to a melody
and I will keep you there so you can't bother me
