Put In My Place

I went shopping today after school for pants.  I had a huge hole in one of my other pair so I needed some more.  As I was shopping around for pants hat fit, it dawned on me on how good we have it made.  We all shop around for stuff that we like that suits our style and what fits.  A lot of people in this world cant do that.  They are lucky to even have clothes that fit, or clothes period.  We eat when we are hungry, sleep in our beds at night in warmth, and go to school everyday.  Millions of people cant ever do that.

With that said, I am making it a goal of mine to be more sensitive to the fact that I am well blessed.  To the fact that I can eat when I want to eat, that I have a bed to sleep in at night, and that I am educated.  Casey and I adopted a child through World Visions last year but it really didnt hit me what we were doing until today.  We are giving a child hope, a meaning, a life.  I've been put in my place...

Crazy Cool Book

Alright, this blog is straight serious.

I have recently picked up a book about Iran.  Accordingly, its called "Iran: The Coming Crisis".  Basically, its a book about how Iran has gained nuclear ability, how they came about it, and how it is actually staging the "end of days" according to the Bible.  Now for the ones that don't know, I am a Christian and strongly believe in the Bible and what all it has to say, including prophecy.  Now I know alot of people could care less about it and think that it is just all a hoax but if you actually read through it, things prophecied 2,600 yrs ago have came true.  Take the great Empires of the middle east, Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, and Rome.  The book of Daniel prophecied about these empires and the fall of these empires thousands of years before they took place.  That alone is crazy but the prophecies about the "End of Days" are beginning to come together too.  Take this for example:  In Daniel, it is said that Rosh and Persia will lead the Armegedon battle aginst Isreal to crush it once and for all.  Rosh is modern day Russia and Persia is modern day Iran.  Russia last year, supplied Iran with billions of dollars of missile and rockets, making them allies again after a long fued.  Slowly but surely Russian has began to slip back into their old USSR ways as well and supporting radical Islam.  Islam hates Isreal with a passion and cant wait to see the demise of it.  When the time comes that they can "crush" Isreal, Russia will be right beside them because they could not afford to loose such a valuable ally as Iran, being that they house the worlds largest oil supply.  The book goes alot more in depth about everything and goes more in detail about the prophecies and how they effect the final days and what not but it is super interesting.

As a Christian its exciting to know that things are coming together.  Its exciting to know that "that day" is getting closer.  People can say that the Bible is fake and those things never happened but man look at history. Things that were prophecied thousands of years ago have came true.  If those things are true, Jesus Christ is real and He died for all of mans sin.  I would want to be sure of where I was going if I died tonight or if the rapture happened, its to important.

I base my beliefs off of things that I have experienced.  I have a relationship with Christ.  I will voice it.  I also really hope that I havnt affended anyone or their beliefs.  I didnt set out to do that.  So, with that said....see ya at 10.

Macing

Today was full of macing

In photography class, all the guys were macing the vulgar redheaded horndog that is mecka or gecko, whatever her name is. Its funnyto see people get all worked up about it cause we are just trying to be nice to her, mainly goofing around but ya know.

In Chads class today, me and lily maced as well, but a different macing.

These are the results:







Yeah thats right, we are tards.

Toothpaste...the color of clean

So today has been exciting. As of the moment, I'm sitting on the couch in Thompson listening to the class in 134 talk about some sex addict in a booking grasping herself while looking at a man....yeah. Fun class.

Alright, so Shmee had a crazy guy wanting to know the color of her undergarments. To break up the weird silence I asked her the color of her toothpaste and then proceeded to "enjoy" that color. Funny haha. Well, to that point, how weird must you be to randomly ask ppl the color of their underwear. What does that do for people? Does the fact that I'm wearing grey boxers turn anyone on? I would hope not. I would just like to know what drives this odd fetish.

Well my new purchase should come in today or tomorrow. I bought my self a Epiphone Les Paul Custom in Alpine White with gold hardware. It is beautiful. With that said, I'm needing to sell a bass so if anyone knows someone who would like to buy an Ernie Ball Music Man, let me know. I hate to part with it but I have to pay for that new Paul.

Oh yeah, I'm going to start posting a photo with every blog. I don't know why but I will...if I can figure it out

This was FAK3 in Boone.

Flocking like birds

Alright, if you dont have it by now I highly suggest getting the new browser Flock. FAK3 told me about it today and I have just got done playing around with it for about a hour. Its amazing. It allows you to have your flickr or photobucket photos load inside the browser and you can drag the photos into comment boxes or emails or whatever to add photos to stuff. It is sweet.

Anywho, today, ahhh what a great day it was. ... Well, yeah nothing really happened, but I did get to pose for some photographs today, that was fun. Im alittle worried though, cause I looked either really stupid or really gay in alot of them but it was fun. LOL I wont be able to show my face in WalGreens or WalMart anymore because of them. They were like porn photos but with clothes still on....weird. Anywho, Im out just because Im not big into long blogs.

ahhhh

well I have a headache. Not fun, at all. So staring at this computer screen doesnt help it any. Im off to bed....

WOW how did i forget this...

Friday, Mr. Super Generic Name (Chris Smith) and I went to Boone to shoot campus stuff. We met Shloni and Amber there. We hung around the campus and shot film for a while then took it to Boone Drug to get developed. To kill time, we ate at CiCis. Awsome pizza, try it sometime. Afterwards, we drifted into a small store called Expressions. Near the back, I saw stuff I wasnt expecting. So it was like this....gift cards, handcuffs, 3 ft tallywacker... thats right, 3 ft double dong for the ladies.....need i saw more



awkward....


thanks amber for feeling my awkwardness...i suppose chris and shloni like that stuff...alot haha

Smashing Modems

Alright, today has been a so so day. Nothing major....but my modem is slower than a 80 yr old without a hover round. I would love to see the prices of scarowinds tickets but no, that would be too easy. Anywho theres my venting for this evening.

To the not mean nasty talk about modems, i posted alot of photos i took over the weekend on flickr yesterday. I was super happy with alot of them. Most of them were of Casey since I havnt taken any pictures of her in a while. I shot almost all of them at Cub Creek Park. Theres lots of cool stuff there with really cool colors. That was my excitment for the weekend.

Today I got a pumpkin. ...that was painted as a "I smoked way to much pot today" eye. It was super sweet of that lady to get the GD crew pumpkins but what do you do with it. Place it outside your door to scare away ppl with a phobia of huge eyes. If that was the case, I could scare the crap out of some ppl. Make em pee there pants and wish they wore depends. But im not like that so i wont do that to em, if there are any.

Anywho, im buying another guitar soon...maybe a Fender Tele or maybe a Gibson Les Paul.... I dunno I havnt made up my mind yet. It will probably be the cheaper of the 2 cause I still have to buy a tube amp and I already know what Im getting there. This was completly random...Im sorry...truely.

Tomorrow....I hope I see someone blow a bubble and pop it to where it goes all over their face....that would be great...

pullin an all day

Alright, well I started my new job this week and I pulled my first 8-5er. Fun stuff I tell ya. Im going to be dreaming about meta date and CSS. But so far so good. The site is really starting to come together and look really good. For a logging equipment retailer, it looks very modern and not what I would expect out of that type of buisness, which is good.

Along with a new job, I started shooting promo shots for bands this week. My buddy Zeb is starting his solo career and we did some promo stuff yesterday. Im really happy with the outcome of most of them. I manually focused alot of them so in one or two its a little bit fuzzy. I shot them all in RAW so i was able to tweak all of them, bring out real rich, saturated colors. I have a new passion for RAW, its amazing....anywho

Tomorrow, FAK3 and I will be traviling to Boone to shoot B&W of the campus and what not. Loni and Amber might come to, that is TBA.

new top secret mission....but not so secret

Alright, blog number 2. Sorry for not doing it in a while, I've been busy.

Anywho, today I strolled around WCC with my Canon XT in hand shooting random things. I really didn't shoot anything I thought was "interesting" but I tried to pick stuff with some neat lighting. Most of the stuff that I shoot was in front of Thompson underneath the trees. The limbs made great shadows. Well later on I PS them a little bit and Im super excited in how they turned out. So, from here on out, I am dragging my XT everywhere I go, shooting at will...the camera, not a gun, thats illegal and Im not a crazy psyhco path that wants to eliminate everyone in my way. I plan to shoot everything in RAW just because its so editable. The sucky thing is that my CF isn't the biggest so after about 50 shots, I have to dump them on the lappy.

go there to see some of the stuff I shot...theres only 2 I know but more will come.

Anywho, off I go...
