Head Pains

Published by Elemak under Health, Photo, Random, Weekend, Work


I had a headache, and it is still with me this morning. I don’t often have headaches, so I don’t handle them very well. I hope it is just a headache and not a sign that I am getting sick.

The truck is broken. Seem to be the same thing that I had fixed in May, Mom is bringing it up today for the people to fix again since it was only a few months ago. I am hoping I will be able to get away for work to have dinner with her, it will be after I should be off anyway, but it is one of those weeks.

Fire is from the party Saturday night. It was a lot of fun especially after a bunch of use made our way outside to sit around the fire. It was nice.

Also on flickr is a picture of me from Sunday, aka day 14, if you are wondering about how the growth is going.

I am off to try and get three days of work done in a day and a half.

Wish You Well

Published by Elemak under Entertainment

Sometimes love feels like pain
And sometimes I wonder if its all the same
Sometimes light feels just like rain
Cause you never know when its gonna fall down on you

I wish you well
I wish you well
On this trip to find yourself
I wish you well
Wish I could help
But I can’t help you find yourself

Sometimes faith feels like doubt
And sometimes I wonder if we’ll ever get out
Sometimes life hurts just like now
But you gotta now its all gonna come back around

I wish you well
I wish you well
On this trip to find yourself
I wish you well
Wish I could help
But I can’t help you find yourself

Find yourself
I can’t help you find yourself
Find yourself

And we were 16 at the time
Nothing could ever change our minds
We were one step below invincible
And we always fought it
You’ve never been the same
You were so scared to make a name
Then you threw it all away
And I wish you’d come back now

I wish you well
I wish you well
On this trip to find yourself
I wish you well
Wish I could help
But I can’t help you find yourself

I wish you well
I wish you well
On this trip to find yourself
I wish you well
Wish I could help
But I can’t help you find you

I wish you well
I wish you well
On this trip to find yourself
I wish you well
Wish I could help
But I can’t help you find yourself

Find yourself
I can’t help you find yourself
Find yourself
I can’t help you find yourself

7 Days Later

Published by Elemak under Random


As promised, here is a picture of my growth after 7 days. Was interesting to hear peoples reactions. No one said anything bad about it. Some people said some very nice things, and out of those I think at least 3 of them meant what they where saying. It has started to itch. I am assuming that the itching will pass. Don’t know that I will keep posting pictures or not. I am not much for pictures of myself, but if I can convince others to pose with me I may keep it up.

Last Wedding Weekend

Published by Elemak under Photo, Random, Weekend


As most of you know I was in the Cleveland area last weekend to photograph Sara and Steven’s wedding. I think it went fairly well for the equipment I had. I took a bit over 700 pictures. I upload just over 600 for them. It was an interesting experience, don’t think it would be something I would like to do for a living, but I think I would do it again to help some friend out.

This picture was at pretty much the end of the whole thing. The reception was winding down and most people partook of this one last celebration of the newly married couple.  So ends the year of weddings for me.  Four in one year.  That really is more that I have been to if you count all the others I have been to in my life.

I am growing a beard. If you check flickr you can see day one of this experiment. I am thinking I will take another this Sunday (the one week mark). For some reason when you start growing a beard people ask you why a lot. My reason is that I have never done it and wanted to see how it went. My goal is to let it grow at least a couple of weeks. At this point I don’t know if I will keep it for very long or not.

If you are a music fan you need to check out Joe Bonamassa. I do believe he is the best guitar player I have ever heard.

The last thing I remember I was running for the door

Published by Elemak under Entertainment, Random, Weekend

I can’t remember if I mentioned it or not, but my XM ran out a few weeks ago.  I miss it, not to the point of getting, but I do miss it.  I can see why they give it away for three months.  I really miss the quality.  I never realized how low quality FM was, of course compared to AM it is wonderful.

She never loved me, why should anyone?

Busy weekend, not as busy as it was going to be originally, but still quite packed.  We saw Chris Tomlin Saturday night.  It was a good show, and we got to hear a new song for the first time ever.  Very cool stuff.  We were very close to the stage, my ears are still ringing.  During the intermission thing Jeff was down a couple of rows from us talking to some people, so that was neat.

Theres been times miss direction has found me.

Sunday was church.  Went to the 9:15 service like always.  Ended up in the nursery by myself, which was a first.  No diapers so I was ok.  One day I know I am going to have to learn this who diaper thing, but not yet!

Now I run though fields of mercy.

I can’t wait for this week to be over.  It is going to be busy and then I will be out of town, which is always tiring.  I am going to take a lazy weekend some time in November (All weekends between now and then are already booked up).  Yeah so I will be in Cleveland area this coming weekend to photograph Steven and Sarah’s wedding.  I will pretty much busy with that most of the day Saturday, but if anyone is up for breakfast Saturday morning or dinner Saturday night just let me know.  I will also be at the grandparents Sunday afternoon, feel free to stop by.

When I see your smile the tears roll down my face…

Grrr

Published by Elemak under Random, Work

I am in a really bad mood right now. I should be downtown watching TFK play, but no I am not because I worked until almost 11 last night making me extremely sleepy today. I would have gone to see TFK, but seeing that I am already tired, the fact that I am point man on two projects and one conversion for tomorrow and next week, and the person who normally deals with all this crap it out.

What I don’t get about this who situation is why do I get stuck doing this when they promoted someone else to be my boss? Why don’t they get stuck doing this stuff instead of me? I am sure they got a nice pay raise with the new position.

I was going to have tomorrow off since I was going to be tired from the TFK concert. Oh and I loved this, when I was leaving the person I am coving for told me to get lots of sleep because I am going to be in the hot seat tomorrow and next week (the whole time he is gone). That made me feel great. I am working and doing my best why in the world would that put me in a hot seat. I have been working on his project this week in prep for his vacation, it was the project I was on before my current one, but I have not work on it in at least 3 or 4 month, but hey this week I should know what all is going on.

I hope when I get some rest I feel better about all this, like I said really crappy mood right now and am ranting, maybe even raving. I just want the dryer to get done so I can get to pass out time.

What do we know

Published by Elemak under Entertainment

Pick up the phone
Nobody’s home
I’m all alone
We’ve all been here before
Yesterday I saw a change another way
As you walked out the door
It’s a twist a little bit
I’ll admit but we’re stronger than before
Open up we’ve had enough
We’ve had enough
And now we’re holding on
And waiting

What do we know?
What do we know?
What do we know?

What do we know?

I’ll tell you what they’re all saying

We all try to be somebody
But the world around us makes it so cloud when
We all trust
When we’re supposed to,but the blood on the hands
Says we’re not close to the answer yet
But maybe if we pull together we can change
A million lives for the better
And maybe if we prayed a little more
We would stop living in fear from the storm
And everyone sings

What do we know?

Every part is me
Raise your hands and sing

Show them who you are
Show them you can see
Raise your hands and sing
Tell them we are free
