why not?

i'm trying to stay awake long enough to get this load of laundry done ... and posting keeps me awake. so here's some random stuff.

we presented a local dancing with the stars this spring. the fellow who created this video disabled the embed feature, so you'll have to follow this link to see it. well, actually you could follow either of the two links ... they should both take you to the right place.

according to flickr, i currently have 981 photos taken during the month of july. i'm pretty sure i can shoot 19 photos in the next three days. kinda ticked me off that i missed a photo yesterday because my camera wasn't with me. i had the case, but not the camera. fat lot of the good that did me.


jeff & roxanne had a photo booth at their reception. we did our best to make fools of ourselves. repeatedly. it was a good time.

i stink at responding to messages on facebook. i'd apologize, but that's just the way it is. i'm a little better at responding to messages on myspace ... but not by much. shoot, i figure i'm doing good to respond to e-mails in a timely fashion. that's right. that means those of you who have been getting regular responses out of me within a couple of days ought to feel special.

i had the admin for a couple of flickr groups ask me to add some of my photos to the groups' pools. i have no idea if that sentence makes any sense. but i now have photos in the old barns, farms & equipment group and clouds, storms, sunsets and sunrises group. granted, the other members of these groups take the most amazing photos that completely dwarf mine ... but very cool to have someone recognize some potential in your work.

i want to take more photos. this would be easily accomplished if i executed "the plan."

what? you don't know about "the plan" yet? i want to quit my job, liquidate all my assets (that's funny ... i don't have any assets ...) and drive around until i run out of money, my car stops running or i die. whichever comes first. do you know how much of the united states i haven't seen yet? how many bridges i haven't photographed? how much i currently dislike going to an office every day? i'm 29 ... who needs a savings account? i say chuck it all & go drive the country.

i'll do it someday. just you wait & see.


for a good time, i updated my "where i've been" map. look at all the opportunities still out there. and i'm most interested in hitting all the states first. other countries can come later. i haven't spent quality time in even HALF of the states yet.

i'm pretty sure the washer just turned off. the clothes can dry in the morning. i'm going to bed.
