Day Nine
A Photo That I Took I took photography for two years back in high school. For a long time it was something I enjoyed enough to consider making a career of. However, Bluefield College, being the small school that it was, didn't offer a whole lot when it came to photography options. It wasn't as … Continue reading Day Nine

A Photo That Makes Me Angry Hang on for a sec... I'm gonna have to scour through my photo archives to see if I can find something that actually makes me angry. If I find a pic of someone not using a turn signal while dressed like a clown, well, that'll make it easy. I … Continue reading Day Eight
Annabelle
I just needed to share a quick thought about this movie I just saw. I had a free Redbox rental and I thought I'd check out Annabelle. I like a good scary movie every now and again and I hadn't seen this one yet. I thought The Conjuring was pretty good, so why not give … Continue reading Annabelle

A Photo That Makes Me Happy I know I just posted this picture yesterday, including this group as a part of my favorite things. But it's a picture that makes me happy. So deal with it.

On Monday, … Continue reading The Single Guy vs. the New School
Day Six
My 20 Favorite Things I couldn't care less about raindrops on roses or whiskers on kittens. No... I can't say that. Kittens are kind of adorable. But I wouldn't call their whiskers anything close to being one of my favorite things. And when the dog bites, I'm generally not thinking of my favorite things. I'm … Continue reading Day Six
Day Five
My Favorite Quote This one is pretty easy. See, on my Facebook page, I have an available list of quotes that I like. That being said, it's gonna be hard for me to pick one favorite quote. And since I didn't choose only one song as a favorite the other day, I choose to post … Continue reading Day Five
Day Four
My Favorite Book This would have to be The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. It's a classic that I've probably read more than a dozen times. I usually find myself picking it up and spending a day or so just reading through it about once a year. Some of my earliest memories have The Wizard of … Continue reading Day Four
