I Suck

Again, I am so overwhelmed at the many things I come across on my daily journeys on the interwebs. I am a digital nomad. I am a busy guy. So my blogging suffers and you are denied my wit. my sincerity, and me.

I’ve been relying on micro-blogging and photos to get by, to have something, ANYTHING posted for that day. Its frustrating & embarrassing.

Are you using Twitter or Pownce or Jaiku? Befriend me and lets turn my monologue into a dialog together.

Twelve Years & Counting



My Girls, originally uploaded by Photo Mojo.

Today, Jenny and I enjoyed our twelfth anniversary by enjoying a cajun brunch and live jazz. I kept it simple with a ham/cheese omelette and she had the shrimp & grits. Afterwards found us on a stroll through the park and to watch Daphne swing and slide.

Jen,

You are all I’ve ever dreamed of as a wife and all I ever needed as a friend. With love & pride,

Chris

There is so much I want/need to share that it is overwelming. Although, after shooting a local art festival for 3 days, and about 6GB worth, I am spent. I’m preparing to go back to the day job today and I am beat. I’m working on a new project for the next month and a new one after that and I can only hope I’ll be ready! Tonight will be low key as I spend quality time with my girls and work on processing the aforementioned photos.

Can You Hear Me Now?

Good! I just upgraded from the ATT/HTC 8525 to the ATT/HTC 8925 or the Tilt. Why do you ask? Simple. As much as I loved the 8525, every time I sent a multimedia message (frequently), it accessed the data network to send and then stay connected. I don’t want to spend $39.99 a month for a data plan when there is free wifi everywhere in town. ATT kept charging me and I would call/complain and the charges credited back to me and dropped. Good. They also sent a replacement 8525 to fix the issue except…

The replacement failed the same way and we were back to square one. After two phone calls totaling 3 hrs (not a joke) and 2 weeks, I have a phone upgrade and it is a few steps up from the very nice 8525.

Once again it is time to head to downtown Birmingham to enjoy fine art, let the kids romp/explore, enjoy delectable food/wine and enjoy musical acts from almost every genre at the Art Connection.
