Happy easter!! 85'

Happy belated easter haha

Sure have been slacking on this blog!!! My sister and her fam are on the way down and im excited, not only has it been a while but they are staying for almost a week!! Its going to be good to spend some long overdue time with them. She is coming to take pictures for the Beaufort Food and Wine weekend, this will be her second year doing it, i couldn't be prouder! She is extremly gifted and has a huge heart for it, speaking of huge haha she is preggers, i feel bad that she is going to have to do alot of walking around, and looking at all the wine and beer and not be able to try any! Anyway im happy for her and can't wait to see them, esp. my lil niece!! also to try her husbands homeade wine....very good stuff.

always looking out for my safety

love this one!!!

Also i am co hosting an event at backstreet pub called "be here..for beer" apparently the mayor made Beauforts welcome slogan "Be here" so we improvised haha. It is a beer dinner, 4 beers from Natty Greene's of greensboro, paired with a meal by the talented Chef Anthony Garnett of Coral Bay Club in Atlantic Beach that goes with each unique taste.

so come on out!!! theres something for everybody.

freedom yells, it don't cry...

friday was awesome, left a lil late waiting on some buddies, but got there right when doors opened. Trip up was good listened to some good tunes boys played out angry birds, but we made it. Its wasn't packed like i thought it to be, matter of fact Chapel Hill was a ghost town, you wouldn't think cus UNC was playing that night, i thought it woulda been a diaster. Beer has gotten expensive at bars tall boy PBR's were "on special" for 4.50 i remember them being $2 for 24oz and $1 for 12oz, pbr used to be cool cus it was cheap now its pricey cus its cool, screw that i got schiltz for $2 haha. Got to talk with Josh Small before the show started about Buz Blurr in Rva previous night for stories/signing, he said it was a really good time, josh is a nice dude i was glad to see him again and that he was playing with tim, by the way hes got a new album check it out. The show was really good, jenny owen youngs was really good, tim was great josh played back up vox and guitar, tim sung his heart out and voice haha he could barely talk afterwards, tim also had this guy named Andrew playing hormonica, he found him downtown VCU when him and josh were singing in the street for some protest when andrew walked up and started playing and tim told him you need to be on the road with them and brought him along, it added a good sound to the music.
After show went to father in laws (where we were supposed to stay) and decided to drive home we were all sober and it sounded like a good idea: slam some energy drinks, good tunage and high fives, and we were off, was great ride sang old songs on radio, got home at 500am really tired, but glad to be home and see the Fam. So that was part of the weekend, got to bleed brakes on Bug and looked at tons of paint samples for house colors... have a good week peeps!!!

ride fast, live slow

Life is going good, mase, linds and i had a string toy parade around the house last night was fun mason is so much fun now. Ive always questioned lots of things in life esp. the one we have all asked before "why am i here" it wasn't til mason was born that i found that answer it only took lookin in his eyes, i can't explain it in details but i think you will get it. He's my lil buddie. Blessed to have Linds Mason, and my Fam.

Been a busy week lots of pics to share with all the coal and tanker cars moving back and forth. Supposed to go to Chapel Hill tommorow night and see Tim Barry with Jenny Owen Youngs. Im stoked its been 3 years since i last scene him live. Its going to be a quick trip to Raleigh coming back in the morning.  Welcome spring and pollen! haha

Have a good weekend and i'll see you out there!

For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.

Im working on my day off, sucks well i did it to myself. Fresh line of tankers rolled in, talked to a worker and hes going to let me take some pics when there finished getting weighed. Going to be long week! Ill post some pics in a few, and write a lil more also. Going to start cutting grass this week, probably only do it once this month until it starts growing faster. Going to get some shirts made this spring, got to finish logo though!!

rain down some change on me...set me free

hello there,

Spring is here weather is staying in the 70's, grass is gettin greener and the birds are chirping. With each season i feel as though my skin peels of a shell of the season past, kinda like a dog sheds or butterfly hatches outta catapillers.

So what inspires you, simple things in life, or what you search for?

You can't steal inspiration from others, you can embrace it but you can't own it. 

Ready to do some traveling, supposed to head up to see some friends in Rva in April then my awesome sister is coming the end of april for Beaufort Food & Wine shes going to be the Event Photographer for the second year in a row (im so proud). Im also hosting an event on thursday called "be here..for beer" its a beer dinner with Natty Greenes of Greensboro, NC more details to come!!!Theres also some good shows this month in the central part of the state that i wish i could make, however i don't believe i can afford it with everything else going on.
