Lost in OK

I really need to start listening to more of my album collection.

A group of what I assume were good ol’ boys had knocked down most of the stop signs and all of the port-o-potties around Lake Overholser. Glad I am never that bored.

So I’ve spent the whole day feeling pretty rotten, floating in and out of a NyQuil coma. However, being sick on a rainy day is good encouragement to work on some photos. These are from way back in March which should give you an idea of how far behind I am. In any case, below are a series of photo’s from Grace’s nephew Ethan’s birthday party. This ninja themed party was perfect for some great action shots though there is also something a little frightening about how much children relish a sword fight.

It’s with mixed emotions that I retire my home on the web for the last decade. When I purchased radicalwacko.com back in 2001, I was a young, aggressive Libertarian, who thought that he could and should change the world. In other words, I was an insufferable, young, recent college graduate that you wanted to avoid making eye contact with and save yourself from the pedantic lecture that would inevitably ensue.

Now as an older, crankier libertarian - who increasingly doesn’t give a damn - it starts to be embarrassing to give out a domain like radicalwacko.com. If you are over the age of 35 and still think of yourself as a radical or a wacko, you are either deluding yourself or you really probably should be on a watch list. I actually blush every time the Best Buy clerk asks me for my email address. At a certain point, you have to ask yourself why keep a domain name that you refuse to acknowledge.

As you all probably long ago guessed, I have abandoned my Project 365 photo experiment quite some time ago. It was a fun idea, but it quickly got to the point that I was forcing myself to take pictures that I didn’t like instead of feeling challenged to find subjects that I did want to photograph. I think for a lot of people the demands of such a project can bring out some great creativity, but it just started to burn me out.
