asked about the naked girl: st. simons

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!

Greetings! Long time I know… but so much has been happening, traveling, driving, eating. Yes eating.
Right now I’m in Buford, Georgia just a stone’s throw away from the Mall of Georgia where some Disney star, Selene Gomez is making an appearance… so, way too many teenagers and kids. So here I am, tucked away in a secluded hallway making a dent in my blog posting.

Since I arrived in Georgia on Tuesday afternoon, I’ve spent some lovely time with my Aunt and Uncle whom I lived with during my senior year of High School some 5-6 years ago (whoa…) The first night we had dinner at my Aunt and Uncle’s house. My other Aunt, Aunt Mary Jean came over as well as family friends Denise and Stephanie Valenti. The second day, Wednesday, I visited my Uncle’s work, Tri-tech roofing, and had lunch with most of my dad’s side of the family, my aunt’s, uncle’s and cousin. Golden Corral. I found it funny that the way they set the buffet bar up at Golden Corral is separated by holiday and ethnicity. Thanksgiving, southern, cajun, american… etc.

Went up to REI with my Aunt and Uncle and got some gear for my trip… a new knife, XL travel towel, stuff sack, granola bars, new carabiner… I love love love walking around REI just starring at everything… wishing and wanting… being content with what I do have though ha.

All in all, I’ve had a great time in Georgia visiting. Tonight I rock climb with Misha Golin at Stone Summit and then he and Caroline (friends that used to live in Orlando) and some other Orlando friends are going to Piedmont Park to watch 16 Candles in the park. stoked. Tomorrow morning I’ll make my way to Nashville, even though I feel so good being here in Buford… It’s only a 5ish hour drive, so should make it there pretty early, roam, hangout with my good friend Chris Adams, HOPEFULLY we can rock climb there too.

Right before I left, my friend Doug Jackson came over the house and did some “gear shots” for me. Pictures of the stuff I’m taking basically. I finished one today…

If you click on it, it’ll give you a little bigger picture that should be readable…
Support is coming along. Gonna be writing a lot soon. Thank-you’s, Hello’s, How are ya doings…Miss everyone, but excited to be on this adventure. :)
Video blogs being edited. Should be uploaded soon…
for now…

Love Brian.

Thankfully it’s another area that reeks of history

Historical societies are a great way to find a wealth of information that you wouldn’t be able to get from researching through books alone. Plus they have really cool vintage photographs!

Georgia Historical Society:

“The Georgia Historical Society is a major research center and houses the world’s oldest collection of material related to Georgia history. The Society’s collection includes four million manuscripts, 100,000 photographs, 30,000 architectural drawings, 15,000 rare and non-rare books, and thousands of maps, portraits and artifacts, representing the collective memory of the state of Georgia and relating the stories of the state’s diverse people. The Library and Archives serves thousands of researchers from around the world, including the nation’s leading scholars whose work in the collection is used to produce cutting-edge research published in books, journal articles, and professional papers. Personalized on-site and off-site research assistance is available to those interested in Georgia and American history.”

then i remember how much of a bitch it is to get rid of it a couple of months later

11 Countries Sue Ga. Over Illegal Immigration Law:

Governments in North, Central, and South America are now taking Georgia to court over its illegal immigration law.

The governments of Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Peru filed court papers Wednesday seeking an injunction. They were joined domestically by the Anti-Defamation League.

Earlier this month, the American Civil Liberties Union, the Southern Poverty Law Center and several other civil and immigrant rights groups filed a federal class-action lawsuit and now want a judge to put an injunction against the law until their case is decided. They say House Bill 87 is unconstitutional because there is a federal law on the books.
