Going Global

Hello everyone, I know it's never a good thing to brag, but I have to tell someone. My company Stora Enso, based in Finland, employing just under 50,000 is doing a story about photographers who work for them, in their next magazine. They selected one from Finland, one from Germany, one from China, and one from North America. Well, yours truly was informed today that I will represent North America. Seems that a fellow employee, and all around good egg, Shelly Ghere submitted my name to co

Facing The Truth

To anyone who bothers to read this stuff, I am finally admitting something to myself. I am no longer a songwriter. Admitting something that I've pretty much known for over a year is not something that is all that hard. I haven't written and recorded anything from start to finish since 2004. It's gone, and I know it. I no longer wish something would "come to me" nor do I care whether I find time in my studio. If I do anything involving music from here on out it will be to help the younger f

Regrets

Not sure why, but two events today led me to think about lifes regrets. Those events were brushing my teeth and watching the History Channel....uh....not at the same time though. Anyway, regret number juan is; I didn't take care of my teeth when I was a kid. Now that I'm in my mid-to-late 40's my train wreck of a mouth is bothering / costing me a lot. Granted the pain pills are fun at times, but wrecking my liver and stomach at the same time is hardly worth it. Anyway, that is regret numbe

Sunburn (sequel To "not A Cloud In The Sky")

Ow, owie, and double ouch! Since when did 20 minutes in the sun do more damage than 2 hours in Chernobyl?. Anyway, I am finding that even though I love summer and hate winter with a passion, (then why do you live in Wisconsin stupid?) my tollerence to pain has left me in my mid to late 40's. So, my wife gives me this little packet of goo that has the word Hemp on it to calm my red skin. I got all excited until I read the fine print and found it had little to do with what I was thinkin'

Not A Cloud In The Sky.

I'm doing something I have never done before. It all has to do with my taking care of my "Granddaughter" <---dog. Her name is Bella and she is a Black Lab. Great dog albeit a bit on the hyper side. I like to think of her as Steve with a fur coat. She is only a year and a half old which explains a lot. Anyway, she likes to lay outdoors, so I grabbed my lawnchair, my coffee cup, and of course my laptop and parked it out in my yard. I love wireless!! This is proving somewhat difficult as th

Memorial Day 2007 Ed.

Each year I attend Memorial Day Services in my home town. This year, thanks to my new found hobby of photography, I thought I'd bring it to you. It's hard for me to understand what these people gave in order for me to live the life I do. That being said, I grabbed my camera and went to the cemetary with one thing in mind; Try to show what Memorial Day is all about. I hope I caught at least a small part of the feeling. Go here. Memorial Day Thanks, T P.S. Take note of something I

The Future Is In Good Hands.

Now that the school year is nearing it's end, I felt I needed to give my opinion of the students I have watched grow another year older, and also some who are moving on in life. I have attended all types of sporting events throughout the year, and also attended music, acting, singing, and just about any other event the school had. I can say this. I love those kids and couldn't be any prouder of their academic, athletic, and overall acheivements. These kids are fantastic. I think back

Price Of Gas, And Other Pisser-offers.

Good morning Tom! Well good morning to you Blog! I have a couple of "loves" in my life that aren't flesh and blood. One is golfing, which where I live only lasts about 4.5 months due to the climate. The other is photography, a year round thing providing I can keep the equipment warm enough. (Sorry folks, but recording doesn't make the top two) This brings me to the price of gas. Where I live it has gone up about 40 cents in a very short time, and that really cuts into the amount of t

Spilled Guts In Aisle 3

Hello TV Land, I am starting my usual day (as of late) by making coffee, pouring a cup or 7, and firing up the ol' laptop, read all the shit that is happening on this friendly planet of ours, my e-mail and so on, which brings me to this point. I was debating whether or not to write a blog today, which got me thinking. What good is a Blog? Hmmm, "What good is a Blog" Truthfully, I doubt that "this" blog serves any real purpose in life, and that anyone really reads the damn things th

An Odd Sunday, Thank To The World Economy.

First, an update. I still haven't found my answer to my last entry. Good days, bad days. Oh well. This brings me to my less than exiting Sunday. As of late, or at least the past month or so since I bought my camera, I have looked forward to filling up the gas tank and heading out for part both known and unknown on my free weekends. I had some very exiting places to go this weekend, and I'm sure I would have found something to catch my camera's eye. (Update, I have taken over 1650 pics

From The Weekend

Sorry, but I am having a hell of a hard time concentrating with that 1984 Ghostbusters picture of Sigourney Weaver as Zuuuuul laying next to me! Ouch! Anyway, as weekends go they couldn't have been better. Sunny, near 80degrees, lots of backroads, my camera, and a crap load of tunes! The truth is, I can't think of anything to piss and moan about. Oh wait, one thing. Way too much garbage out in the wilderness. So, I do have a topic that concerns music and in all likelyhood it will be my

It's The Drums Stupid / Or/ It's The Stupid Drums

Haven't made a recording for a long time and I always had plenty of reasons not to, or so I thought. Actually the real reason I haven't started anything new for years is because I always hated putting the damn drum tracks down electronically. Just one big pain in the ass. I had thought of contacting the many drummers I know to come in and do it for me acoustically, but I doubt I could screw up my timing enough to play along. Nix that idea. I'll keep thinking.

Living Clean = Living Happy?

Well, finally a topic I am gaining some knowledge on. About January 8th I decided to pitch the cigarettes and although it was hard it was well worth it....., I think! The reason I am not sure goes as follows. Problem #1 -Seems like during the entire quiting process I found myself not knowing what to do with myself other than going to bed. Problem #2 - Unable to fall asleep. You see, well before I ever got to this point I used beer to help me fall asleep...we're talking years peo

Imus Be Nuts! Or Imus Or I Musn't.

So much for a title. Hell don't ever expect much from me. I am not a trained writer, just potty trained. I now spend most of my days wondering, just where in the hell did the country I knew and loved disappear to. Beats me, but I'm looking toward others further up the food chain than I!?! Now we have another "very important front page news item". Bombing In Green Zone?" nope! Mr. Imus did nothing different from his daily broadcast of trash except this time someone of self-proclai

The Start.

Hello all, I plan to not plan any of my entry's. There may be days with multiple hits and others with nothing. Shoot from the hip as they say. Also, I should warn that in this blog I may not come across as the ATom2 from the forums. If I did, what would be the purpose of doing this? Anyway, sleep well and I'll see you, well, when I see you.
