A COUPLE OF SATURDAYS BACK I GOT THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASSIST MY FRIEND, TONY CZECH, ON A SHOOT FOR ROCKETOWN. ROCKETOWN IS A FAITH-BASED OUTREACH CREATED TO BE A SAFE, DRUG AND ALCOHOL-FREE PLACE FOR TEENAGERS TO HANG. I'D HEARD MUCH ABOUT ROCKETOWN AND WAS SO BLESSED AND IMPRESSED BY THE WORK THEY'RE DOING FOR NASHVILLE'S YOUTH. IT WAS AMAZING TO SPEND TIME WITH SOME OF TODAY'S TEENS - THEIR JOY IS INFECTIOUS! I WALKED OUT OF THAT DAY WITH A REAL SENSE OF EXCITEMENT FOR THE FUTURE...AND A CF CARD HALF FULL OF MOHAWKS, LIP RINGS, AND PINK HAIR.

MY WIFE AND I CELEBRATED OUR 3RD WEDDING ANNIVERSARY ON THE 14TH (I LOVE YOU HONEY!) - SO, BEING THE PICTURE PERSON THAT I AM - I'VE BEEN RUMMAGING THROUGH OLD HARD DRIVES AND LOOKING AT OUR WEDDING PICTURES.

2008-10-07T11:03:00.018-05:00

I'LL ADMIT TO AN EVER GROWING CLOUD OF DREAD THAT HAS HOVERED OVER MY "BLOGGING" ASPIRATIONS. THE WHOLE "BLOGGING" THING HAS ALWAYS SEEMED A BIT OVERWHELMING. IF I WAS MY WIFE I'M SURE THE WHELM WOULD DISAPPEAR (AS SHE IS THE REAL WRITER IN OUR FAMILY), BUT I'M NOT...AND IT WOULD BE STRANGE IF I WAS...MY WIFE, I MEAN...THAT WOULD BE STRANGE. SO, NOW THAT I'VE STATED MY RESERVATIONS, LET ME SAY "THANKS"! THANKS FOR READING THIS. THANKS FOR OVERLOOKING WHAT WILL SURELY BE A SEEMINGLY ENDLESS EXPANSE OF BAD JOKES AND WORSE GRAMMAR. I WON'T SAY MUCH FROM HERE ON OUT. I'LL MAINLY POST PHOTOS OF RANDOM THINGS AND PEOPLE. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU LIKE. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU DON'T LIKE. HERE GOES...
