I was exhausted yesterday. I'm pretty sure it was from some of the new medicine the doctor gave me on Tuesday. So, today, I'm not taking any of it, just to see if it makes a difference. I do feel better this morning, however, so maybe the stuff actually works and if I can get [...]

I'm hell-bent on getting out of this 8to5 mess that I've gotten myself in. All the fun is gone. All of the accomplishment is lost. I am merely a cog in a giant, inefficient machine. I've got lots of plans. Lots of ways out. Lots of things I enjoy more than this. Lots of things [...]

Not sure what i think of this just yet.

It's a rare occasion that Jess and I find ourselves on a Friday night without plans. Tonight happens to be one of those Friday nights. So, I'm making plans… kind of.
I miss the days where, even if no plans were made, somehow, by the end of the day, a bunch of us would be together, [...]

If I were going to write a weblog/photoblog/image gallery/image purchasing application… these are the features it would have.

# Allow images to be [...]

For the DFW locals (or ex-locals): Suggest to me a place in or near Irving that might be photogenic. I've grown a bit tired of my old standbys and am wanting to shoot a bit on my lunch break.
