The cross


The cross, originally uploaded by Chris1051.

Left the house at 5 A.M. this morning and it was pissing it down with rain. I saw this and thought it would be a great addition to the bible belt collection.

The final day


The final day, originally uploaded by Chris1051.

I normally don't listen to the iPod on the weekends. I just happen to pick it up on Sunday and there was an icon with the website

http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/


This was the icon on the display. I then read the website and t says I have to reset the ipod, well, I did so and now the ipod is cleaned off -0 files. And the computer will no longer recognize the ipod. After 3 years of faithful service, the iPod may have finally bitten the dust.

There is still one more thing I have to try -and thats to deinstall iTunes and then re install it, killing all my playlists and everything. Major pain in the ass.

SO for now, I am copying my daily shows to a cd and listening to them that way. it sucks I cant listen to any audiobooks or any music.

Work


Work, originally uploaded by Chris1051.

Busy with work, and this week is a travel week.

Not much else to say except that -the only time I can sit on here and blog, I should be sleeping cause I have to get up in 4.5 hours.

Not freaking fair.

Flash Video - The Story of Stuff

This needs to be broadcast as far and wide as possible. If you are an environmental skeptic, at least get through the whole film (20 minutes).

Public Schooling

Kellie Pickler apparently was allowed to graduate high school in North Carolina according to her wiki entry.

I just got done watching a video that made me cringe, (according to the wiki entry its a you tube hit) Absolutely disastrous. What does this say about education in America?

The video link (from Hungary)

thanks to Al.

Fear mongering from our evangelical pals. Why not visit the Bible Belt group for some more fun?

HUGE ass cross

And of course no road trip would be complete in TN without the sighting of a HUGE ass cross!

Christmas time


Christmas time, originally uploaded by Chris1051.

This one wasn't as big as it usually is. Oddly enough there was some lame ass company get together or conference or whatever, where you had some asshole boss or big wig barking orders at people to "come on get over here!" on the staircase immediately to the right for a group photo.

Pissed!

Today,

I am sure these people were plenty pissed, but the lane closures were approved by the Commissioner, get over it.

I took this with a 55-200 at 200mm if you look at the original size you can see pretty far. Waves of distortion in the far distance.

Coda


Coda, originally uploaded by Chris1051.

This is Dakota. Daniella for the longest time would tell us about "Coda". This is the dog of an acquaintance. (on Thanksgiving)

Christmas is fast approaching


Tree, originally uploaded by Chris1051.

The tree has been put up for a week, only to show to my dad for his visit. But outside of America, most other countries put up Christmas trees prior to the American Thanksgiving.

Of course, myself being a free thinking secularist, I do not object to a tree in the house or the giving of gifts. I was raised in the tradition of Christmas.

Pacific Coast Hellway

I have been a listener now since Jan 2006. The show is very funny, sometimes in poor taste but all the time very enjoyable. Mark Yoshimoto Nemcoff has such a creative mind he produces the most entertaining shows and audio books.

Go Daddy Have sponsored his show and are offering Promo codes, for discounts on Domain names.

They can be found HERE.

Incredible Christians & the death of Twitter


Mean Christians, originally uploaded by Jacob Krejci.

As seen on my bible belt group on flickr.

This is in Gatlinburg, TN. I started this group to document these sorts of in-your-face preaching that is prevalent here in the south.

I haven't blogged lately because I have been incredibly busy with my new job, and also, no laptop to be had, (hence the flickr blogpost)

I also wanted to blog about the death of Twitter. Well, twitter is alive and strong, but I can no longer contribute, as my new cell phone from work has had text messaging disabled. was it Cinderella or Motley Crue who had the song "You don't know what you've got 'till its gone"?

Anyway, It was a non-essential segment to my every day life, that I miss dearly. -Twitter and the ability to text my wife.

Not a very big deal, but adjusting is, just plain weird.
