The last twenty-four hours have seen two particularly good quotes from me? [LAST NIGHT AT COAST] ME: What is with girls wearing jeans with spangly things on the butt? It looks like they sat on a Bedazzler. HER: Uh, that's not a new thing. ME: What? HER: Girls have been doing [...]

...sushi on the brain. And by sushi I mean BYOB to Coast and nom nom nom some steak teriyaki while GalPal makes her way through the specials.

I've been thinking about it and I might not make it to SXSW this year. I have a pass but the travel is already outrageously expensive and the hotel rooms might as well come with a mortgage application. When you top it off with just how incredibly hectic my work life is right now I'm beginning to think that week off might do me better if I spent it on a beach instead of running around and waiting in line to see bands and drink two or three free drinks an hour. Am I getting old or [...]

She's coming. Up the stairs. Step by step. So slowly because it's still early and her joints are probably sore after a long night's sleep. Not moving seems to allow the cement to creep into those spaces that are supposed to decrease friction when we move. And she's really getting on in years. When I see pictures of her from just a few years ago I'm shocked at how grey her muzzle has become. She wants her breakfast [...]

Leave a message or else!

When I hang out downtown later in the evening after work I see all the girls I would've chased in my early '20s in hopes they'd talk to me fully aware they wouldn't because I didn't make enough money. Now I make the living they were hoping for and we still want nothing to do with each other. I just don't look like the dude they'd want. My conclusion? I'm lucky I found a girl that likes me for who I was and appreciated that before I became the guy I am [...]

I'm participating in the #febphotoaday project. Huh, that sounds pretentious, doesn't it? It's not like I was invited to participate. It's just this thing someone came up with and everybody that wants to do it can do it. So I'm doing it. I can't commit to 365 photos in a year, but I think I can handle one a day in February. They give you rules on what to shoot each day! And it's a short month! Anyway. Here's today's photo.The assignment was words . [...]

Lately this place has resembled Tumblr more than a more long-form site, eh? Part of the reason behind that will become apparent later today but it also looks like my system has readjusted itself so I'll have more time to write. What the heck does that mean, you ask? To say I've had many balls in the air -- a few covered in razor blades that had to kept aloft with a delicate touch and others that were new challenges to me and away from my regular rhythm and others still that have always [...]

Dan Lutger ( Panther Style / Reptoids / luku rocks photography & design ) was kind enough to put together a logo for me! What do you think? Pretty snazzy, huh?

My week is already crazy, and it's only Monday night! But it's also already been exciting and exhilarating. It's been a little scary too but things that are brand new always are, and if they're not then you're not really pushing yourself. And believe you me, i am excited to explore and conquer new territories. So let's go!

Wondering if I should do a time-lapse shoot when Lolla sets up in a few months...

I have big, big things going on and can't wait to share the full extent of what's going on but let's just say everything in my world seems to be firing in the same positive direction at the exact same time and I am taking NONE OF IT for granted!

Though you'd be forgiven for thinking it's because Sasha the Cat is stealing my Interwebz with her butt!

My posting has been limited. I'm not talking as much. Lotsa photos and not lotsa words. This will change somewhat soon but for now I am SO BUSY. Loves you.

What's your view?

Don't worry, Chicago can take it!

...to accurately convey just how exciting life is right now. Which makes me realize that maybe we don't write about the moment, we write about the effect of the moment and the moments that precede and follow that moment.

So, say something about it .

The burgers here were delicious! The number of burger joint Foursquare thinks I visited REALLY seems like it should be much higher though...

It's been a lazy kind of day.
