Quote of the Month: March 2010

“”You know I had it made in the shade, thinkin’ that it’s not so bad after all

That’s when I woke up, smelled the coffee, I’m back where I started again, yes

And now it’s pourin’ rain on my parade



No there’s nothin’ like the real world to get me down, no

One is there to lift you up, one to drag you down

Now, don’t you see that we’re heading down a one-way, dead-end street”"





- Tesla

- Heaven’s Trail (No Way Out) from The Great Radio Controversy






I figured I spare the Dickens this time around, but if you’ve been paying attention, there is a theme being woven here.

Castillo de San Marcos

This photo of the Catillo de San Marcos was taken in St. Augustine, Florida in May of 2009. Although the sky could be a nicer shade of blue, what I like most about it is the negative space.

You may remember Amy-Rose King Photography from my continuing series, Good Gear, Better Vision series. So it is a must that you visit her new and improved blog. Her photographs already speak volumes by themselves and this new design only serves to highlight them to a new level.

A Cold Day in Hell

This photo was taken in Orlando, Florida. It’s not supposed to be this cold here. Living in Ohio for 20 some odd years, the cold weather does not bother me, but this is down the street from Walt Disney World. Come on!

Quote of the Month: January 2010

“What are you going to do with Noodle?”


- Lord Boodle

- Bleak House (1852-1853), Charles Dickens

If you’ve read Bleak House from Charles Dickens and understand the shifting alignments as it’s underlining tone then maybe you’ll understand where and why I’ve chosen it for this months quote. If not, I understand, it’s quit obscure and the meaning has probably been lost to history, but I cannot expand on my selection for so many reasons.


Here’s a better idea, go catch up with the guys at The Chief Source.
