From an old disposible camera...


I was cleaning my bedroom and discovered a few disposible cameras that I had neglected to have developed. I finally did so this week. Some absolute gems have emerged. I believe this photo was taken circa 2002 by either Shuggie or Coop. I love it.

New Shoes...




Woke up cold one tuesday,
I'm looking tired and feeling quite sick,
I felt like there was something missing in my day to day life,
So i quickly opened the wardrobe,
Pulled out some jeans and a T-Shirt that seemed clean,
Topped it off with a pair of old shoes,
That were ripped around the seams,
And i thought these shoes just don't suit me.
Hey, I put some new shoes on,
And suddenly everything is right,
I said, hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody's smiling,
It's so inviting,
Oh, short on money,
But long on time,
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine,
And I'm running late,
And I dont need an excuse,
'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes.
Woke up late one thursday,
And I'm seeing stars as I'm rubbing my eyes,
And I felt like there were two days missing,
As I focused all the time,
And I made my way to the kitchen,
But I had to stop from the shock of what I found,
A room full of all my friends dancing round and round,
And I thought hello new shoes,
Bye bye them blues.
Hey, I put some new shoes on,
And suddenly everything is right,
I said, hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody's smiling,
It's so inviting,
Oh, short on money,
But long on time,
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine,
And I'm running late,
And I dont need an excuse,
'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes.
Take me wondering through these streets
Where bright lights and angels meet
Stone to stone they take me on
I'm walking to the break of dawn (x2)
Hey, I put some new shoes on,
And suddenly everything is right,
I said, hey, I put some new shoes on and everybody's smiling,
It's so inviting,
Oh, short on money,
But long on time,
Slowly strolling in the sweet sunshine,
And I'm running late,
And I dont need an excuse,
'Cause I'm wearing my brand new shoes.
Take me wondering through these streets

At the local highschool...


The gym is apparently designed to resemble a deathmatch pit.

In the bleak midwinter has a new meaning


A week ago today we were dealing with temps in the teens. Today it hit 70 so I made POM cocktails!

Coop is watching...


Saving Private Ryan. And gave me a hard time for not remembering where Hanks character was from. I'd like to point out that I've only seen the movie once and that was over 5 years ago. I got his profession right (teacher) and I said Philadelphia. So he's from Pennsylvania. I got a city from the state. What does this child want from me????
