The Blog...

I have been into pictures more lately than I have been into posting simply because I have not found much that is interesting to me to post about. I like to do the picture thing with my cam phone because it is just so easy and it also takes very good pics. I have read some people's reviews of the phone/cam and I just don’t agree with them on the picture quality.

I am just in a holding pattern until we figure out when we will be going to St. Louis. It really sucks because I don’t know what kind of job to look for and even when we will be there to do this so it is just pointless to do that at the moment.

I have also slacked off of riding and working out lately. It is just hard to get back into it when you stop. I rode this weekend and we got in like 7 miles. I wanted to go on Sunday morning, but my right leg/hip has been hurting ever since I slipped in the pool while we were on vaca at OBX. I went to the chiropractor last week for the back hurting from this and that worked, but my right leg where it joins the hip hurts intermittently and I did not ride Sunday because of this. It is hurting me tonight and I do not know why as all I did today was sleep.

I am always in a constant search for content and readership on my blog. If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to email me. What bothers me is that I do not get a lot of comments from people that "view" this site. I wish that I would get more. So if anyone is out there in cyberspace, please feel free to drop me a line or to or a comment.

Thank you for your patronage.

Cloudy...

A chance of rain.

I took this at around 12.30am. I think that it has some neat lightening effects due to the use of the cam phone and through my windshield of my truck. I have done several of these types of photographs in the last few weeks.

Music and Videos...

It is cool that this movie has finally been released on DVD here in the states. I remember as a child, my mother taking me to see this show in Beaumont Texas along the 1980 time frame. I got it last night at Best Buy for $19.99!! Not a bad deal for it. The remastered the movie and soundtrack that was done by Queen. I cannot wait to watch it over my 2 days off this week. I found a copy on the net about a year ago and tried to get it. The quality of it sucked and i converted it to a DVD using WinAVIVideoConverter. The quality sucked even more and i never watched it.

What do you get when you combine the lush electronica band Delerium with the Nashville pop group Sixpence None the Richer? The debut album by Fauxliage. Sixpence singer Leigh Nash has been a guest singer with Delerium, but she now teams up as a full partner with the Canadian band's Rhys Fulber and Bill Leeb. The dance beats are dialed down and the melodies have that pop warmth that Nash brought to Sixpence, but the looping grooves and chilled electro-timbres from Delerium remain, especially on tracks like the hook-heavy "All the World." Lyrically, Nash is concerned with love and loneliness for much of the album and tends toward a languid mid-tempo mode that could've benefitted from a few more kick-ass tunes to moderate the mood. It emerges occasionally, like the symphonic electronica cadenza that explodes in the middle of the otherwise wistful "Draw My Life." Despite years in Nashville, there's very little country in Nash's voice, but there is a purity and vibrato-free tone you can hear in country singers from Loretta Lynn to Emmylou Harris. It's a voice that almost demands a more organic, acoustic approach, and Fulber and Leeb provide it, often dialing down the sometimes suffocating synth pads that have marred the last few Delerium releases and replacing them with acoustic guitars and more organic keyboards. Fauxliage doesn't take all of the best from two worlds, but they get a lot of it. --John Diliberto


I have listened to a copy of this and as of now, i am very UNIMPRESSED!! I have followed their career for over 15 years and i have all of their music and many side projects and this is just really bad. Do not expect and of the "old-style" Deleriumish tracks.

This was taken on the pier on the bay side of Duck NC. This was at the Sunset Bar and Grill. We were all burnt from being at the beach that day.
