An ancient Ring thought lost for centuries has been found, and through a strange twist in fate has been given to a small Hobbit named Frodo. When Gandalf discovers the Ring is in fact the One Ring of the Dark Lord Sauron, Frodo must make an epic quest to the Cracks of Doom in order to destroy it!
After leaving Kingsport, I took up an offer from my friend Wendy to visit in Daytona Beach, Florida.
The drive was spectacular. I have been in a real down mood lately, unable to shake the depression I have been feeling and this drive somehow just snapped me out of it.
I’m thankful and happy to see my friend.
When my website was still known as absolutwade.com, I was asked to do a cross promotion for a company and they hired a large busted model to do the shots.
I mean, out of curiosity, how could you say no?
A road trip to visit my sister in Kingsport, Tennessee. Beautiful misty countryside scenery on the drive here.
We rented an RV, We loaded the quad bikes on a trailer to tow behind, we set out on a drive across the country to Yellowstone, Colorado, Utah, etc.
After a few tire blow outs and getting stuck once on a mountain pass in Apsen, Colorado, we managed to get to have some fun on the bikes in Gunnison, CO and then in Yellowstone NP.
Dad bought some new quad bikes for the farm, it was interesting how it made the land feel manageable for the first time as you could easily get anywhere on it. I think mostly he jsut wanted to get some fun bikes we could all play on.
Paula and I just returned from Hawaii, had a great time and some much needed sun. It was a last min trip to Honolulu to stay at Waikiki beach and everything kind of fell into place. A beautiful trip. We went scuba diving and enjoyed a lot of beach time.
New Years Day in New Orleans, Louisiana. Last night was a bit crazy.
Okay, so things kind of exploded at work this week. My director, Philip, quit this week and it’s had the company a bit on edge on strategy going forward. I’d been contemplating on leaving as well and today it looks like that is coming to fruition.
I wish New Media well in their endeavors and the people I worked with over the past two years are very talented, they should do great things in their new direction, I just need to go in another one.
I’m going to Colorado for a little getaway. I fear my attitude has spread around the workplace and all are standing on the cliffs, some waiting to jump, some waiting to be pushed.
Get busy living or get busy dying. I need to go find my smile.
After a quick trip to New England, I decided to extend the trip to Old England. This is the first trip I have ever taken by myself out of country with no one else to talk to or rely on.
Spending the next few days at the LaQuinta Resort in Palm Springs for work. Our client Williams Energy is hosting their annual performance review and I’ll be help running the show and presentation. The most interesting part of this trip was the flight here; Mike and I rode in Williams’ Corporate jet from Oklahoma to Palm Springs.
After nearly a lifetime of wanting and planning to visit the land down under, Paula and I finally planned our trip to go. It was compacted into Sydney, Cairns, and Uluru, all less than a week total, but it was worth getting a feel of all that Australia is. I’m pretty sure we will be back to visit again in much more detail.
So, after running Outland Design for the last two years, I have taken a position as a Web Designer for Ackerman McQueen New Media. I’m really looking forward to working with the group of talented designers and developers, some I already know and have worked with.
