I wish I was kidding.

I just wrote an entire blog, including a pretty sweet picture. It had some good jokes, none destructive, just humorous. It was light hearted. It drew you in, as the reader, to an experience in my life and explained how I enjoy photographing those experiences. It informed you while it entertained you. It was, in

Seriously.

If you knew that I had spent the last 55 minutes trying to pick a new template, would you still be my friend? Probably not, and I can’t blame you. Especially since, in the end, I came back to ole faithful here. Welcome to my life. I have no idea where this blog is going

Home from 1935.

iPod + blog = iBlod or iPog?

Or maybe iBlog? I believe strongly in the power of a well designed playlist. Not that you care about what I’m listening to presently; but really, why should you care about any of the things I write on here? (I feel like Ryan right now) Anywho, here’s my newly created playlist- 1. Jesus Loves Me
