Drive-by Body Pierce

These are the images that didn’t make this week’s cut for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – HAPPY: Thanks for taking the time to help me mock this pathetic collection of losers.

06-19-07

The folder called 06-19-07 includes folders of killdeer that I photographed with Steph and Yin and that time Jesse and I met the man that will probably be recorded by history as the best president of my lifetime. I’m not sure where next Saturday’s walk down memory lane will go.… Read More »06-19-07

Don’t forget that today is Election Day! If you live in Boone, you need to get yourself to your polling place and vote for the guy below: I would get into the details of his agenda, but my personal endorsement should really be enough for you. PARTICULARS CAMERA: Samsung SM-G900V… Read More »Vote Scottie D.!

Omega

Monday night Obama made his last campaign stop ever in the East Village in Des Moines. I attended his first ever campaign stop in Iowa at Hilton Coliseum all the way back in 2007 with Jen and Derrick and maybe Willy. I figured that I should be there for the… Read More »Omega

The Straw Poll

A few weeks back I went to the Republican Straw Poll with Russell, even though I will be voting for Obama in 2012. Here are a few pictures: Bachmann definitely had the best organization at this event. McCotter’s way creepy van. Members of the “Lamestream Media”, no doubt. The line… Read More »The Straw Poll

Vacation Journal

Here is a copy of the journal I kept while I was on vacation last week.  It covers parts of 10 days and over 1300 miles.  While I doubt anybody reads this whole thing, it was an important exercise for me. There are no pictures, but I will post some… Read More »Vacation Journal

Pardon and Sanctify Me This cross stands on top of my church. It no longer looks like this because the it was painted during the tuckpointing process last year. The name comes from a classic hymn: 1. On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, the emblem of… Read More »December

Number 750

This is entry number 750 in this online journal. I’d like to take a little bit of time to archive some data. It is one of my peculiar imbecilities that I love meaningless statistics. Therefore, consider these statistics: Every journal entry falls into at least one of sixteen categories. This… Read More »Number 750

Sedulous

Once a year I get together and have a meal with Mark Wolfram. Unfortunately for me, I only get to see Mark once a year because he spends most of the year in Taiwan teaching, doing mission work and publishing The Taiwan Times. Wednesday night was that night. Mark met… Read More »Sedulous

Better than Work

I took Wednesday off to go down to Tom Harkin’s office with Jesse to meet with one of Tom Harkin’s assistants to discuss the situation in Uganda. If you are not familiar with what is going on in Uganda, I would suggest you check out a video put together by… Read More »Better than Work

Arizona Day 4

Jesse and I woke up in Coolidge, Arizona and made our way to a local diner for breakfast. This place was certainly McCain Country. We sat at the breakfast counter and listened to a couple locals complain about the governor for “being nice” to Obama. They agreed that the governor… Read More »Arizona Day 4
