Bear Attacks Happen: The Start of Something

My wife is a champion of the blog, I am the champion of nothing at this point. I have not yet harrnessed the trecherous power of the internet. I read the same 5 websites daily, liberal foreign newspapers, a site about hardcore/punk/metal, and various other sites that numb my brain.

This blog will hopefully be the equal to Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing for others like me, who are attempting to match the level of internet expertise that 10 year olds display. Most likely you will encounter useless rants about nothing, photography, tattoo, skating, and music links, and photographs from my 40 year old stand-by camera. Good Luck and Godspeed. Please, let your mothers and grandfathers and close friends know about this. Ode to Casey Stewart.

Things That I Waste My Time On:

1. http://day19.com/text/
This is an amazing husband and wife team that hail from L.A. and NYC. Though I have a deep rooted hatred for the traffic and the sports teams in both of those cities, their work as photographers and mind blowers is great. They mix the mediums of film photography and also toss it up with digital media aka what is known as digital photography. We will get to my sentiments of what photography is later on. I am not ready to offend half the world yet.



I currently live in Spain, we see more flamenco shows than we do any punk/metal/hardcore shows, however in saying that, we saw a Spanish punk band covering NOFX last week. Lambgoat is a mindless way to waste at least 30 minutes a day reading about obscure bands most people do not care about. Also, reading this site, I have realized that I am 27 this year and way more out of touch than I had ever thought. Apparently, bands that formed 10 years ago are not as cool as they used to be.
This is how I substantiate telling people I am from Massachusetts. I read the Boston Globe website a couple times a day, keeping up on bad construction projects running the state in debt, local political conspiracies, Arts and Entertainment that I will not partake in, and the obvious Boston Red Sox baseball talk. I am able to stay relevant in conversation with my grandfather this way as well.
This is the blog that my wife writes daily or whenever she feels like it. This most likely should have been the first link I added, and I will most likely get some flack for this, but I don't know how to reformat, copy and paste is an unfamiliar foe. She is brilliant, her right and left sides of her brain are in constant contention with each other, nearly causing mild seizures. She sees life in a way I am unable to.




There is absolutely no need for me to use twitter. However I do enjoy reading the well thought out witty remarks of people who are too famous for me to ever interact with. For about 2 days, I was thought to be Brian Hamel, a State Senator from Maine. It garnered me about 30 followers, that immediately jumped ship when the true Brian Hamel revealed himself. Maine was never my scene anyways.
In March, Jenna and I were residing in an apartment in Saint Augustine, Florida that was built in 1890 and once housed a butcher shop and a brothel, simultaneously I hope. There was an abundance of shelf space and closets to hide my pack rat tendancies with old film cameras and photographic accessories. However, we had to move, that means that right before the unwaivering blue eyes of my wife, I emptied the past 10 years of my camera collection, numbering around 150 cameras, 200 rolls of film, countless filters, and flash bulbs from the 1960's. I am like a coke addict with these cameras, attempting the let them go gives me the shakes and cold sweats. We have found Etsy.com, it is a place that I have been slowly handing off old antique and vintage cameras to people who are just starting their obsession that will most likely lead to relationship problems and obsessive compulsive counseling needs. This is progression.
There are those people that you meet in life that have a poor ability to grow facial hair, long alien like bodies, and are able to lighten the mood and tempo of any situation. This man is known as Casey Robert Stewart ( SGT. Meowenstein). Hailing from the land of bad beer and cheese, he moved himself to attain a life long goal of becoming a sound technician for the likes of Helix and Ratt. He then found himself lifelong lessons on life, then woke up on a plane to Alaska not knowing how he got there. One of the most solid people I know, unwaivering in the art of impulsive actions and holding fast to his progression of the love of life and people. He is in Ketchican, Alaska teaching deep pocket elderly citizens and russian defactos how to zipline through the alpine regions of a salmon fishing town. He is most excellent. He is a dirty dancer.
