My Flickr Account.

I just learned that one of my cousin's has a Flickr account, so I thought I would share mine as well! All of my favorite photography is in there (well not all of it yet, you can only upload so much per month). But I am constantly updating it if you ever want to see my photography projects :).

I also have a photobucket account, which has unlimited upload space basically, and use that one for all the pictures I put in my blog & other random pictures too. But if you want to check that out, you can find it here: My Photobucket Account

Enjoy the pictures! And I am always adding more!

Well I woke up this morning to another snow storm. I knew it was supposed to snow, but it is blizzarding again.
According to the weather channel... Supposedly its supposed to stop snowing mid-morning.
According to wunderground.com... which is normally alot more accurate... snow throughout the day...
I say, if it's going to snow, let it SNOW!!! I can't get any work accomplished anyways if its snowing sooo... and a little snow just makes stuff wet. Alot of snow is much more fun to me, except the shoveling part anyways.

My drive to work:

Well Darryl & I both got sent home early yesterday because the storm was so bad almost everywhere was closing. I got home before Darryl and played with the dogs in the back yard. Then when Darryl got home, we went across the street to the big fenced in doggie park (aka big baseball field LOL). The dogs were LOVING IT!!!

So I stumbled across this really cool photography page today. Basically this guy (Alan Sailer) does high speed photography of pellets being shot through things. The effect looks really cool.. and the photography is truly amazing!

Enjoy!

I know I don't get to see my family as much as I want to, and I am sure the reverse can be said (they don't see me enough either). I have so many things I would love to be able to do with them, like have them over for a BBQ or just show them where I live. But since I can't do that I had to do something else. So I decided to make a movie of our house! That way my family & friends can all see where I live.

Just to forewarn you, I am not a professional videographer, nor narrator LOL. So ignore the amazing video & voice over :)

Darryl & I had a really nice day. Slept in, went to the Home & Garden show (lame - see previous post), got Aisin, went to the barn, then went to Cherry Creek State Park and took a great walk/fetch. Aisin is finally loving water play! So thats cool.

Seeded the yard, and am watering it now. Hopefully there isn't a water ban this year or the growth effort will be a waste.

Having a few beers, gonna sit out on the back patio, and hang out. Eating some amazing Alfredo for dinner too! Its froma box but is SOOO yummy. I'm addicted.

I was sick all week. Ended up taking Wed. & Thurs. off, went in Friday. I'm feeling ALOT better now though. Still have a cough and sore throat. But not dizzy/nauseous/headache/etc. anymore.

Tomorrow we will probably go to Cherry Creek State Park again, bring Aisin for sure. Maybe Chance (he's not good off leash around other dogs, he runs off and doesn't come back he gets so excited). Then probably heading over to a friends for a few beers and conversation.

Hope everyone has a nice weekend!

Well Darryl & I went to the Denver Home & Garden Show today.. We got discounted tickets ($8, normally $10) online.. Paid $7 for parking.. Bought a set of REALLY nice sheets (1000 threadcount) for $30.. and thats about it.

The show itself truthfully was NOWHERE near as good as last year. Last year it was held at a different venue, this year it was at the National Western Complex. The booths were lame, the setup was lame, and I didn't really enjoy myself at all.

Last year, the whole place was covered with gardens & little parks & benches (I took a ton of pictures because it was so pretty). The booths were put together nicely. Just the whole feeling was great.

Oh well, lesson learned. Maybe someone will read this and not bother wasting their money going.

Well this weekend, a friend of mine was in town from California (used to live in Denver but moved to CA to stay with his brother). He has stage 4 cancer and has no hope for recovery, unfortunately. He is an amazing guy, and it was soooo good to see him again, although it is probably the last time I will ever see him. There was a party for him while he was here so we could all show our support and love.

A great time with amazing friends. And some insane amounts of alcohol. And the theme was 70's. SO some great costumes too!

One of my friends brought the most expensive beer ever made. And the highest ever alcohol content beer ever made. (They were the same beer). It is called Sam Adams Utopia. Its 25% alcohol by volume, non carbonated, and comes in the coolest bottle, ever. The bottle is $250 if you happen to find it at a store, or MUCH MUCH more if you get it from Ebay. There are very limited quantities made per year. You can read more about it here. Anyways, I was hammered to say the least. It was really good though. But REALLY strong!

I thought I would share some of the pictures of the party for you to see. Courtney, this post is for you. You will always be a part of my life and one of my dear friends. A great friend & an even better man.
