What planet am I on and where am I?

November 16, 2008 – 3:57 am

*Double take*

Like a breath of midnight air
Like a lighthouse, like a prayer.
Like the flicker and the flare, the sky reveals.
Like a walk along the shore that you’ve walked a thousand times before
Like the oceans roar.
Love heals.

There are those who shield their hearts
Those who quit before they start.
Who’ve frozen up the part of them that feels.
Don’t freeze your heart
In the dark they’ve lost their sight
Like a ship without a star in the night, but hold on tight.

Love heals
When you feel like you can’t go on
Love heals
Hold on to love, it’ll keep you strong
Love heals
When you feel like you can’t go on
Love heals
Hold on to love, and it will bring you home

Love heals when pain’s too much to bear
When you reach out your hand, and only the wind is there.

When life’s unfair
When things like us are not to be.

Love heals when you feel so small, like a grain of sand
Like nothing at all.

When you look out at the sea, thats where love will be
Thats where you’ll find me
You’ll find me.

If you fear the storm ahead
As you lie, you lie awake in bed
And there’s no one
No one
No one there to stroke your head
And your mind
Your mind
Your mind reels

If your face is salty wet, and you’re drowning in regret, just….

Don’t forget (8x)

Love heals
When you feel like you cant go on
Love heals
Love, love is gonna carry you home
Love heals
When you feel like, when you feel like you can’t go on
Love heals
Hold onto love and it will lead you home

Love… heals!

What exactly makes you :-( / :-)?

October 30, 2008 – 4:20 am

One of the coolest feelings in the world is that odd tear in your emotions when you experience something so obviously sad, yet at the same time it really just completes your day and puts a smile on your face.  This feeling is pretty hard to explain in words but it’s like when somebody dies at the end of a movie (sad), but it was such a remarkably amazing movie that you can’t help but appreciate the message of the film as a whole (not sad).

At 3AM, I find myself :-( / :-) at this…

Plays March 2009 in San Diego…GO!

I don’t know why I have so many dog pictures…but…

G’nite!

Babble Update

October 26, 2008 – 2:30 am

I don’t think I’ve ever posted a "What did I do today?" type of entry in this blog.  I think I had a pretty good rational at the time I committed to the idea…and it was that I didn’t want to turn this blog into a place for me to complain about the myriad of things I love to complain about.

In the spirit of keeping this a photo blog, but at the same time fulfilling my unusual desire to share my life with the world…I’ll SHOW you what has been "interesting" in the past 2 weeks or so.  No complaining to come, promise! :-)

So here goes!

Do people actually play twister anymore?

102608a-7
Does somebody want to buy this picture for $750?

102608a-8
Dan tries to imitate my $750 picture.

Eric cuts his birthday cake…and stuffs it into the bride’s face, and runs off…

102608a-10
…to open this bottle of champagne!  Happy Birthday, Eric!

102608a-11
Who woulda thought that a "German Pancake" was actually a big bowl of egg batter and powdered sugar?

102608a-12
Who says I can’t shoot sports?

102608a-13

Sparkling Water is Delicious

October 19, 2008 – 4:25 pm

Three Part post:

1.) Americans underappreciate sparking water.  That is all.  :-)

 

2.) A rare occasion: I’ve found a picture of me [eating a chicken sandwich] on my camera.

3.) I like this song.

Dixie Chicks - Long Time Gone

Daddy sits on a’ front porch swinging
Looking out on a vacant field
Used to be filled with burley t’bacca
Now he knows it never will
My Brothers found work in Indiana
M’ Sisters a nurse at the old folks home
Mama still cooking too much for supper
And me I’ve been a long time gone

[Chorus:]
Been a long time gone
No, I ain’t hoed a row since I don’t know when
Long time gone
And it ain’t coming back again

Deliah plays that ol’ church pian’a
Sitting out on her daddy’s farm
She always thought that we’d be together
Lord I never meant to do her harm
Said she could hear me singin’ in the choir
Me, I heard another song
I caught wind and hit the road runnin’
And Lord, I’ve been a long time gone

[Chorus:]
Been a long time gone
Lord, I ain’t had a prayer since I don’t know when
Long time gone
And it ain’t comin’ back again

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
Now me, I went to Nashville,
Tryin’ to beat the big deal
Playin’ down on Broadway
Gettin’ there the hard way
Living from a tip jar
Sleeping in my car
Hocking my guitar
Yeah I’m gonna be a star

Now, me and Deliah singing every Sunday
Watching the children and the garden grow
We listen to the radio to hear what’s cookin’
But the music ain’t got no soul
Now they sound tired but they don’t sound Haggard
They’ve got money but they don’t have Cash
They got Junior but they don’t have Hank
I think, I think, I think

The rest is a long time gone
No, I ain’t hit the roof since I don’t know when
Long time gone
And it ain’t coming back
I said a long time gone
No, I ain’t honked the horn since I don’t know when
Long time gone
And it ain’t coming back again

I said a long time, long time, long time gone
Well it’s been a long time

Long time, long time, long time gone
Oh, it’s been a long time gone

Long time, long time, long time gone
Yeah yeah

 

Have a nice day!

Photo.Club (UCSD)

October 4, 2008 – 12:15 pm

I’m going to use this blog entry to shamelessly plug “Photo.Club” at UCSD…not to be confused with “UCSD Photography Club” or other poser clubs that are not nearly as cool or awesome.  If you want to learn how to take some awesome pictures, get familiar with photo/photo editing techniques, or just hang out with some other photo fanatics…contact me and I’ll supply you with all the info you’ll need.

Anyways, pictures!

Jenna in San Diego

September 25, 2008 – 12:48 am

So…am I a slacker for not updating these sooner?  Yepp!

So Jenna, thanks for visiting San Diego and “posing” for some awesome pictures.  I hope you had a great time :-)

By the way, I REALLY like the way the shots in the dark came out.
