Palm Beach in Aruba, I’d kill to go back this second.



Palm Beach in Aruba, I’d kill to go back this second.

took and edited this picture myself.

Photo





It’s been stormy every day this week so I have been frustrated every time I do not have my camera near to catch a storm.  I left the camera running almost the entire time for this storm and made very few edits.  iMovie kind of destroyed the original quality so I will re-edit this one once I get Final Cut.  For now, for your viewing pleasure, here it today’s storm.



Everything is better than Savannah

My Gid Tanner T-shirt; Art work by banjo player Frank Lee.

Gid wasn’t the best fiddler to come out of northern Georgia during the 1920s, but he was a colorful character and the charismatic leader of the seminal old-time string band The Skillet Lickers.

I’ve been thinking about it long and hard and I finally decided on what I want my Cartel tattoo to be. I was listening to one of my favorite songs by them, Georgia and it just hit me. So…drum roll please, here it is…

“What good does us reason if we fail to see? What good does us freedom is we fail to be free?”

Basically, I cannot wait!

In September, 2003, Busan Korea was hit with a massive typhoon. For most of the people living on the coast, we were unprepared. 
I took this photo a few days after the storm. This ship was used as a floating hotel (“The Flotel”); equipped with kareoke rooms, a patio bar and hotel rooms. Fortunately the night of the typhoon, it was evacuated. Today, it still sits eerily in the same position, I guess a reminder to us all that sometimes mother nature can be a real bitch.




Here is a picture of a manican with a carrot and bunny ears. The business men in the background made this unusual site seem not so unusual.



Oh my goodness look at them go.. I like this practice video better than their actual performance on stage :/
I still love them and all their foreign-ness. Big bang. 
G-dragon looks so un-amused in all his dancing (the blond one with the purple scarf) 





"Operation Nukorea":

digital literature piece by Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries

a gruesome piece detailing an imagined, yet highly plausible preemptive strike by North Korea upon South Korea, Japan, and the U.S. (discretion is advised)

I’m in Taiwan now! I arrived yesterday and didn’t get the chance to be on computer until now. It was a long, tiring but fun trip to here. I stopped at Minneapolis and Tokyo airports.

The Champ

Howdy, y’all! *Ahem* Top of the morn- …eh, evening to you! Suppose I need to retire my Lutz/Land O’ Lakes lingo to something with more of an Irish flair. However, I don’t plan on actually saying anything that would basically be the equivalent to tattooing, “TOURIST” to my forehead…

 Welcome! Or Fáilte, as the Irish say. On July 21, I’ll be flying to Chicago. I’ve never been to Chicago (or anywhere in the Midwest for that matter), so that will be exciting. BUT, the real exciting part is after I partake in some deep dish pizza, I’ll be boarding a connection flight to Dublin, Ireland.

I’ll actually be taking this journey with fellow college-aged students, as I will be studying abroad.

Thanks to irishways.com for the lovely photos.

For the most part, I’ll be here. Spiffy, eh? That’s Trinity College - right in the heart of Dublin. I’ll be taking 2 courses while on my journey and this here blog will be my way of keeping in touch. I’ll be keep a tradition journal as well (you mean they still manufacture things to WRITE in?), but my Mommy taught me how to share, so I do hope you enjoy! Now, please excuse me whilst I go daydream about this natural wonder - The Cliffs of Moher.

So, I’m in Ireland with my boyf and his lovelyyy family for the weekend and today his auntie lent us her Peugeot 206 convertible to drive about in. It’s friggin’ lush, just like the country to be fair! :) this is it parked up on the beach earlier.



Elliott saw his first ghost when he was five years old.  He was put to bed early and was trying to relieve the boredom of his own company by counting the spots on the counterpane, when he noticed the door-handle move.

Gradually it opened and an extraordinary figure shot into view—tall with long arms and a head too big for its body—“Its eyes were of a yellowish green and sphinx-like. There was indeed nothing in the face to denote this thing’s attitude towards me, whether hostile or friendly, or ,merely indifferent,” After some minutes, it left. When he told his mother the next morning about it she simply said he was having a bad dream. Much later, after his mothers death, he learned that members of the household had seen it too.
