animatronic groove fest

I'd pay to see the Country Bears and/or Chuck E. Cheese & friends break it down to some club beats.

tattered & worn out

If you've been around me enough, you know I tend to wear my shoes to the bitter end. While one person looks at that top pair and thinks "wow.... those look like absolute crap. buy new shoes! NOW!".... I look at them and think of all the stories that go along with every tear & fray & faded color. All the concerts spent jumping around & having my feet stepped on..... every tree climbed with less & less grip, and rock hiked across while exploring.... the countless sections of pavement/sidewalk/grass that i've ran upon... and so much more.

These new shoes only make me wonder what stories will go along with the inevitable destruction-over-time.... and I couldn't be more excited

spastic eyebrows

the video speaks for itself. just watch

late nite obstacles

While driving home 2nite from a 6-hour XBOX 360 fest with my small group + a couple more (playing the likes of Halo 3 & Call Of Duty 4), I turned onto the road before mine... only to notice some strange objects in the road a little ways down. As I got closer, the objects came into focus... a doll house, a child-size bench, and several frame-work shelves & other assorted junk. They were neatly lined up across both lanes... preventing casual passage. I sat there for a second, taking in the scene... glancing around to see if any of the guilty mischief-makers were hiding off to the side laughing at this car stopped by their barrier. After that brief moment, I proceeded to slip by to the left with juuust enough space to carry on my way. Whoever these bored individuals were left a path of chaos in their wake.... as I passed several other road-obstructions of mattresses and anything else these people could find to put in the road.

I'm just glad I spent my Saturday nite in a slightly more productive manner.... minus the brain cells fried from excessive button-mashing + staring at the screen while engrossed in the intensity.

What did YOU do and/or experience this weekend??

techno. viking.

Have you ever come across a video while browsing Youtube that really makes you wonder about a person's life story? This video made it's rounds 2-ish years ago... and wow, it really makes me curious as to who this guy is. I had forgotten about this video until today, so I thought I'd bring it back for any newcomers.. and definitely for those of you who had also forgotten about this video gem.

(in case you've never experienced Techno Viking... then you MUST watch this)



What do YOU think the real back-story behind this video is?
I'll post what I think in the replies.

museum adventures

Among other things this year.... I've decided to stop thinking & start taking action.

In this particular case... I always pass the VA Living Museum when driving to or nearby CNU... and I kept saying I wanted to go check out their new building... ALL last year. Did I ever go? Nope.

Welp, I finally went. Luckily my fellow-adventurer Mary was just as hyped to make the most of the day by exploring the VLM too.


'Nuff said... It's picture time.































































































































Ah yes, we also drove around the battle-fields @ Yorktown just jammin' out to music & taking more random pictures.... twas an excellent sunny day (despite the cold...)

Go make the most of your free time... think of that one place (or several places) that you've always wanted to check out.... and just go! Solo adventures are fun, but having people who are all for tagging along is definitely a plus too.

Why are you still reading?? Go explore & take pictures, then post a recap. I triple dog dare you.
