February 16th - The man comes around

You may or may not know, but I'm a huge Johnny Cash fan. I made this piece of "art" a couple years ago when I was living with Justin VanFerrari in a house in Lawton. It's followed me since. The record is from Johnny Cash's first LP with Columbia Records in 1959 after leaving the famed Sun Records. My favorite tracks off this album are "Run softly, blue river" "One more ride" and "Don't take your guns to town".  His story is remarkable and much more elaborate and convoluted than the one told in "Walk the Line", in his real life story he credits his recovery to Jesus Christ, and gave his life over to the Emmanuel. I often think about this album cover and, based on his autobiographies, he was already addicted to several varieties of meth-amphetamine pills; I wonder if he had any idea where his faith journey would take him over the course of the next 50+ years.

February 9th - koala yumm & the bookshelf

Today Anna and I had a great dinner date with my friend Jeremy Deford and his fiance Lissa Magner. Anybody who knows Jeremy knows he is the BEST storyteller. Unfortunately I didn't do any photos with our dinner, so I just had to put together a still life ensemble tonight before bed. The Koala is Anna's, she has had it probably since she was around 7 years old or something along those lines. It's name is Koala Yumm. He sleeps on the floor. The bookshelf is just my bookshelf.

February 7th - This bear is hibernating

Today I made my wife an english muffin with peanut butter for breakfast, I packed her a lunch for her internship, then I made some gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches and chicken soup for dinner - and I started her car this morning. I say this only for documentation purposes, I have never hit for the cycle before. I did not step outside the entire day besides when I unlocked the door for my turkish american friend, Peri Acar. I was editing video the entire day. therefore these pictures are from our apartment.
